## Wario-Man Costume

### Starting Location

Lobby, Backdoor

The **Wario-Man Costume** is a costume once used for factory promotions and events that resembled Wario in a superhero outfit. Bruno Gate, wanting the secret recipe, broke into the factory and used this costume as a disguise, and snuck up on and threatened Wario. Bruno inside the Wario Man costume is only active during the Wario Man Night.

## Physical Appearance

The Wario Man costume itself resembles Wario, but with pink clothing, a purple mask, purple gloves, and purple pointed shoes. the W emblem can be seen above the eye holes, and in the middle of the costume itself. The costume also has garlic symbols all over it. The costume also features a purple cape with Wario's face on it.

## In-Game Behavior

Bruno Gate in the Wario-Man Costume only appears during the Wario Man Night, and attempts to enter the Office through both the left door and the right window.

Bruno is faster than most characters in the beginning of the game, and his speed increases as time goes on.

Bruno wearing the costume can vaguely been seen in the Lobby, Eatery, Storage Unit, Office Hall, Backdoor, Control Room, and the Data Office.

When the player spots him in either the left door or the right window, the player must close the corresponding door to prevent Bruno from entering the Office and threatening Wario early.

If the player fails to close the respective door, Bruno will eventually sneak into the Office, thus starting the cutscene where Wario and his friends are killed.

## Fun Facts

* Wario Man's coding is not dependent on an AI value, rather it is controlled by independent values.

* Bruno in the Wario-Man Costume is the only character to be a hostile enemy while they are alive.

* He is the only character to make static less transparent when he enters a room. If he's not in a room on Night 0, the static makes it nearly impossible to see the room.

* Wario Man's posessed body appears in the main game as an easter egg, but it is incredibly rare, with 1/1000000000 (one billion) chance to see him on camera.

* Wario Man's intro night is a remake of Night 6 in FNAW:O, where a similar cutscene plays at the end. Wario Man is able to cause a Game Over in Origins, unlike in Return to the Factory.

Bruno inside the Wario-Man costume is still wandering elsewhere during the events of WarioWare Intrusion, not contribuing anything to the story in the game.

The Wario-Man Costume can rarely be seen as a flashing screen when the lightning strikes, though it isn't the real costume.

## Wario-Man Costume

### Starting Location

N/A

Bruno inside the **Wario Man Costume** returns as a major character in the Good Ending of **Return to the Factory 2: The McRoy House**. He is however not a hostile enemy in-game, unlike the original Return to the Factory.

## Physical Appearance

The costume has worn down over time, and in Return to the Factory 2, the costume is covered in dust and stains. His colors are also more dull and faded. Bruno inside the costume looks more guilty and sad, rather than hostile.

## In-Game Appearance

Wario Man, before the Good Ending, can be seen very rarely in certain rooms as a ghost-like figure. Though, this is just an easter egg, and is not what the costume looks like in reality.

Wario Man is also mentioned by Max Peterson when the player hides in the Dining Room on Night 3. He claims someone saw a "strange pink figure" walking around town, referring to Bruno inside the costume searching for Wario and the rest.

When the player finds all of the music box pieces and plays the music box on the third part of Night 5, Bruno enters the house. While inside, almost being attacked by Wario, he deeply apologizes for his actions in the factory. Wario, after hearing what Bruno had to say, accepts the apology and Bruno's soul is free, though in-game his soul is pictured as a Wario Man costume soul.

## Fun Facts

* Wario Man in Return to the Factory 2 did not have a custom-made model specifically for his in-game appearance. All pictures of him are edited from the normal model in GIMP.
