**Wario** (ワリオ, *Wario*) is a playable character in *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*. He was one of the returning veterans of Super SMash Bros. Brawl. Wario is classified as Fighter #30. Wario is once again voiced by Charles Martinet, who also reprises his long-time role as Mario, Luigi, and Waluigi using new voice clips for this new game.

Wario have received major changes across the board with his moveset, as they now better reflect some of the moves from the Wario Land series. He even sports hiss iconic overalls as his default skin now.

## Attributes

Wario is a medium-sized heavyweight character with below average mobility overall and a short jump, but boasts incredible power on his attacks. Staying true to the Wario Land series, Wario fits his role as a **Grappler** type character, as his excellent grab game plays a big bart of his playstyle, as he has some of the best sets of throws out of the entire cast. His forward, up, and back throw are all very strong KO throws, with his down throw being a excellent combo throw, as it can combo into all sorts of attacks in Wario's kit. Simarialy, Wario also posses a unique command grab with his new Neutral Special: **Shake It!**. Wario grabs the opponent, and lifts them up with both hands up. By repeadely **tapping A**, Wario will vigrously shake the opponent up and down, with coins spewing out of them in return, contunously dealing damage to them. By **Holding A**, however, then Wario will perfrom the **Power Throw**. By holding down the button, Wario will hold the opponent up with one arm, and then you use the control stick to tilt in the desired direction, and then **release A** to make Wario throw in that direction. It's a very powerful command grab, but missing the attack will leave him wide open to attack.

Wario does have his weakness, however. Thanks to Wario's below average mobility overall, short jump height, and a lack of a projectile gives Wario very poor defensive options, and a hard time against long-ranged characters who can out-space him. But all these flaws are balanced out by his high weight, KO power on the majority of his attacks, and his top tier grab game.
