Wario

* Vyond
* Accurate

**Wario** is a member of the Alanastiums and is a recurring antagonist in the *Sean In The Vyond World* series. He was taken from the *Super Mario Bros.* series from Nintendo.

## Appearance

Wario is a fat man wearing a plumber's outfit similar to Mario's, except instead of red and blue, it is colored yellow and purple. He has white gloves, green pointed shoes, a cap with a blue W labelled on it, a large nose and a pointy moustache.

In Vyond Wario is somewhat taller, has smaller and differently shaped eyes, nose, and moustache, and he has no W emblem.

## Personality

Wario is rude, crude, greedy, raucous, repulsive and antisocial. Wario zigzags from hostile to helpful, if there is something in it for him. Wario is also very much a showboater, being proud, arrogant and egotistical, boasting and flexing his beefy arms. Additionally, he is selfish, vengeful, traitorous, insecure and spiteful, as any go-kart race that he has lost will have him accusing his peers of cheating. He is also a stingy, wrathful, desperate and destructive hooligan, hunting down and maiming anyone who attempts to steal his treasures. His near indestructible body, gorilla-like strength, and surprising stamina mean few who cross him survive unscathed.

In direct contrast to Mario, who is heroic and kind, Wario is incredibly avaricious, lazy, ill-mannered and manipulative. He will only agree to something if there is a reward (preferably money) involved; he is easily susceptible to bribes. He is also hugely possessive and jealous of Mario's fame, and has frequently tried to steal enough wealth to make himself as beloved as Mario. While he has been rich at times (to the point of owning his own giant castle full of golden coins more than once), usually his get-rich-quick schemes seem to go wrong. According to a comic story published in Nintendo Power, the reason Wario acts the way he does is because Mario bullied him when they were both young. Wario especially hated playing cowboys, because he was almost always the rustler that the sheriff, played by Mario, had to arrest. Wario would lose to Mario either way. However, the canon of the comics are questionable, though several of Wario's profile in sport games imply that he has known Mario since childhood. Despite his hatred of working for free, Wario partakes in vigorous exercise in his spare time, which is good, because Wario eats a LOT of sweets. He is also known to be a shrewd businessman, master airplane pilot, and talented hypnotist. Wario is also shown to have a strong aversion towards sand.

Wario started out as more of an evil character. In a commercial for *Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins*, Wario attempts to hypnotize the viewers into serving him. He continues on with his evil streak in *Wario's Woods* and *Mario and Wario*, while also playing an anti-hero role in *Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3.* Later games feature him almost exclusively in the anti-hero role, and he seems to have retired as Mario's enemy, even though he does say he is still his nemesis. Wario is not completely evil, but his greed can motivate him to do evil things. Wario is also a very aggressive and ruthless brute, so he will turn to violence to get what he desires. He is shown to be very hot-tempered and temperamental as well. Despite lacking common sense, Wario is also very cunning and intelligent. He has tricked Mario on several occasions and has been shown to be able to fly a plane. He has even built a dimensional teleporter in a matter of seconds. Wario is also shown to be a very poor sport, though the *Mario Party* games surprisingly portray him as playing fair. He will brag if he wins and he is a very sore loser. He might have a crush on Princess Peach, as well as his friend named Mona, who also likes him. Wario likes garlic and can eat it to become Wario Man. Although he has done many evil deeds, he has done some good things and has even gone as far as helping/teaming up with Mario. He also owns a hen, who he seems to love. At the end of *Wario Land 4*, he saved a black cat (who was a princess, but Wario did not know that at the time) and an explorer called Arweo Shitain. With that, Nintendo seems to consider him an anti-hero, as he is often an antagonist in special promotions and crossovers, such as during Nintendo Direct where he teamed up with Ganondorf to attack Nintendo of America's then-president, Reggie Fils-Aime, and the *Super Smash Bros.* series, where he is considered part of the series' villain roster though overall at his worst he is usually more of a greedy jerk than truly evil. Despite this, he is also seen assisting the heroes in the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games franchise, alongside his partner Waluigi, helping the heroes foil Bowser's and Dr. Eggman's plans, and in the Mario Party Series, he serves as one of the main heroes, proving that deep down, he has a heart of gold. Wario can also be apathetic at times, which is shown when he laughs after turning Ness into a trophy and making Lucas run away from him in the Subspace Emissary story mode, as well as lying on the ground and laughing at his defeated opponents for no reason other than spite.

Despite everything, Wario does manage to display a level of bravery when it comes to his misadventures, though collecting treasure is usually his main goal, some treasure he collected in Wario Land 4 was taken away from him to form the princess who was originally a cat that Wario rescued. Though the princess took this treasure with her, Wario seemed happy to have helped and even received a kiss. Wario is also considered scary to most of the Toads, and even King Boo, who admits that the plumber's face scares him.
