Wario (Life & Death)

Wario (ワリオ, Wario) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Life or Death.
When Nintendo launched the Game Boy handheld system in 1989, Gunpei Yokoi's Super Mario Land launched with it. Mario's 8-bit adventure was so successful that three years later, a sequel arrived. Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins takes place directly after the first game, when Mario comes home after defeating the evil alien Tatanga. When he arrives, he discovers that his castle has been taken over by his antagonistic, greedy counterpart, Wario, and he must retrieve the 6 Golden Coins hidden around the land to get his home back, while Tatanga's appearance as a boss in one of the levels provided possible hints that Wario could have been behind the events of the original Super Mario Land. In the final showdown, Wario was revealed to look very much like Mario himself, except fatter, more muscular, slightly shorter, and with a big, bulbous nose that had a jagged, pointy mustache jutting out of it. In a three-part battle, Wario uses the same power-ups that Mario had access to throughout the game, and adds his own abilities to the mix. Wario charges at his opponent with his shoulder, and crashes to the floor butt first, which became staple moves for the character in future games. When conquered by Mario, he reverted to a "tiny" form, and escaped out the window to search for better treasures.
Wario is voiced by Charles Martinet in-game, who also voices Mario, Luigi, Waluigi, Stanley, and Wart in-game.

==Moveset==
* Wario can crawl.
 	Name 	Description
Neutral Attack 	N/A 	Left hook, then right hook. Wario walks forward slightly when this move is used consecutively.
Forward Tilt 	N/A 	Wario swings his right fist in a circle then thrusts it forward. May be based on an attack from Wario's look-alike Booster in Super Mario RPG. Can be charged to increase both damage and knockback. Can also be angled.
Up Tilt 	N/A 	Raises both hands above his head.
Down Tilt 	N/A 	Stabs his index finger at the ground in front of him.
Dash Attack 	N/A 	Trips and falls flat on his face, sliding a small bit. Might be based on the Sliding Catch, a move in Mario Superstar Baseball, a game that Wario was in.
Forward Smash 	N/A 	Wario kicks forward while moving forward.
Up Smash 	N/A 	Head grows as Wario spins, hitting multiple times with the head.
Down Smash 	N/A 	Slams his fist into the ground, knocking foes upward and stunning them for a split second.
Neutral Aerial 	N/A 	Accompanied by a gradually lowering sound of falling, Wario extends his hands and fingers, then spins in place.
Forward Aerial 	N/A 	Sticks his foot a short distance forward.
Back Aerial 	N/A 	Throws his fist backwards, launching opponents horizontally. Similar to his forward tilt, but deals more damage.
Up Aerial 	N/A 	Claps above his head with hands and feet.
Down Aerial 	N/A 	Plunges straight downward on his bum, bouncing off the enemy and sending them slightly upward. The move meteor smashes opponents. Can be used to bounce off an enemy twice in a row at low damage percent.
Grab 	N/A 	Grabs the opponent by the torso with one hand. Based on his one-handed grabs in the Wario Land series.
Pummel 	N/A 	Pokes his opponent in the torso with a coin popping out and back into the enemy.
Forward Throw 	N/A 	Reels the enemy back and then throws them forward. Can be charged to increase damage.
Back Throw 	N/A 	Spins around three times and throws the opponent backwards. Wario can move in either direction before throwing them backward, which is useful for getting earlier KOs. The lighter the character the faster he spins them. Identical to Mario's back throw. The spun opponent can hurt other foes. Based on the Wild Swing-Ding seen in Wario World.
Up Throw 	N/A 	Throws them into the air and jumps up, headbutting them.
Down Throw 	N/A 	Throws the victim on the ground and sits violently on top of them, who is then knocked behind Wario. Probably based on the ground pound move in Wario Land and Wario World.
Neutral Special	Chomp 	Wario opens his mouth and closes it upon the opponent, chewing on those who are caught, healing 0.6% damage per bite. It can be used to consume items and projectiles, healing 1% damage from items, and a third of the damage by a projectile's base damage. Eating explosives will cause them to detonate inside of Wario, harming him, but the explosion will damage nearby foes, providing good knockback. Healing items consumed with Chomp heal 1.5x more damage than normal. Consuming items lessens the time necessary to charge the Wario Waft. Based on the Hot Dog Hog microgame from the WarioWare series and the Hyper Suction move from Wario World.
Side Special 	Shoulder Bash	Rams forward with a shoulder bash. If the control stick is moved up, Wario will do a jump forward. If used in the air it will put Wario into a helpless state. This move can strangely cancel out Pikachu's grounded Thunder Jolt but can be interrupted by any other projectile.
Up Special 	Corkscrew 	Wario launches himself into the air, hitting enemies multiple times while spinning. The move can be steered diagonally left or right. Possibly based on the Corkscrew Conk from Wario World. While both moves feature vertical ascension, the two moves are different visually.
Down Special 	Wario Waft 	Flatulence that grows in strength and knockback the longer it goes unused. Its charge cannot be lost in any way without using the move itself. By Chomping items, the Wario Waft charges faster by 1.5 seconds. There are 4 levels of charge, all with varying effects: at no charge, the waft will always trip opponents but deals no damage and is the slowest waft (frame 16), the second level is the second slowest (frame 10), the third level (half-charged) is the fastest (frame 8) and has good KO potential, and the fully charged waft deals the most damage and knockback, has a huge hitbox below and super armor (frame 4-13), and also sends Wario flying upwards with a headbutt that has equally powerful KO potential, although is slower than the third level of charge (frame 12). If the fully charged waft is used near the upper blast line, Wario will be KO'd by the upper blast line.
Final Smash 	Wario-Man 	Wario consumes a bulb of garlic and propels himself into his opponents. If the move connects, Wario transforms into the masked anti-hero, Wario Man from the WarioWare series and splits himself into multiple copies, dealing a series of blows to opponents caught into the attack. The final blow is delivered by an explosive fart that launches the opponents, KO'ing them at mid to high percents. The strength of the final fart is not affected by the charge of Wario's down special.
