Wario
This Mario-related article is a stub. You can help by adding to it. |
Wario is a character in the Mario franchise. Often portrayed as Mario's rival, Wario has recently become quite a star in his own right, with the main role in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$, as well as its sequels, and, of course, the Wario Land series of games. Wario commonly appears in spinoff titles, such as the Mario Kart series or Mario Party series.
Wario's name comes from the Japanese word "warui" which means "bad."
