It consists of Wario charging at high speed while ramming everything on his path using his powerful shoulders. It first appeared in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'' and has since then appeared in many games featuring Wario, most prominently in the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'' series]]. Its main purpose is to attack enemies, but it can also be used to hit switches or break open [[treasure chest]]s and [[block]]s. | ||

This move is a simple attack in | This move is a simple attack in these games; it can be used to attack one enemy at a time or to destroy [[block]]s, and normally allows Wario to move faster than running. [[Jump]]ing in the middle of this attack changes it into a '''Jump Attack'''<ref>''Wario Land 4'' American instruction booklet, page 9.</ref>, which ends upon landing or turning around. The [[cave master]] from ''[[Wario Land II]]'' makes use of a similar attack when he is confronted by Wario in order to knock him out of the arena, forcing Wario to restart the battle; in turn, Wario must attack the cave master the same way three times to claim victory. In ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', it can be upgraded to break harder blocks and attack several enemies at once. ''[[Wario Land 4]]'' was the first game to introduce the name "Dash Attack" (and subsequently its aerial variant '''Jumping Dash Attack''')<ref>''Wario Land 4'' American instruction booklet, page 10.</ref>, however, unlike its contemporary usage, this term was used to describe a more powerful variant of the same ability where Wario quickly rushes as his speed greatly increases; then, he is able to run into multiple blocks and enemies without stopping. He is also able to break the more solid, blue blocks. His regular attack is also present, but compared to this "Dash Attack", it is less powerful and Wario bounces back against blocks. To avoid future confusion in later games, the name Dash Attack was given to Wario's regular attack, with the original "Dash Attack" move getting removed, but also giving Wario different alternatives to perform similar moves like the [[Max Fastosity Dasherator]]s seen in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]''. | ||

When [[Toad]] takes time in a round, [[Wario]] will temporarily take the place of [[Birdo]] and perform an attack periodically, knocking the [[Thwomp#Wario's Woods|ceiling]] a step downwards. | |||

In | In this game, the Dash Attack makes [[Wario]] take off in a burst of speed when the player presses the {{button|gcn|R}} Button. This is handy for quickly moving around or barreling through enemies. Another move, coupling a Dash Attack with a [[punch]], can be executed by pressing, holding, and releasing the {{button|gcn|B}} Button. | ||
===''WarioWare'' series=== | ===''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series=== | ||
In the '' | In the ''WarioWare'' games, the Dash Attack appears in a few microgames referencing the ''Wario Land'' games, for example, in [[Loot Scoot]], it enables Wario to break through walls and repel mummies to escape an avalanche of gold and treasure; another example is found in a microgame simply titled [[Wario Land (WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase)|Wario Land]] (specifically based on ''Wario Land 4'') where Wario must use the Dash Attack to successfully take out a [[Spear Mask]] while avoiding its front spear. In ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', the Dash Attack is Wario's main gameplay mechanic. Performed by pressing {{button|ns|a}}, it can be used in microgames to push and break objects. | ||
===''Wario: Master of Disguise''=== | ===''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]''=== | ||
In '' | In ''Wario: Master of Disguise'', [[Thief Wario]] can use a short-ranged Dash Attack. Unlike in past platformers featuring the move, Wario does not dash forward while executing it, instead immediately returning in place. | ||
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series=== | ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series=== | ||
====''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==== | |||
The attack appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' as Wario's [[Smash attack (move)|forward smash]]. Like in ''Wario: Master of Disguise'', he stays in one spot while executing it (unless in his [[Wario-Man]] form). | |||
==='' | ====''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==== | ||
The attack makes a return in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', this time as Wario's dash attack. The in-game tips refer to it as the '''Shoulder Tackle'''. It behaves closer to the Dash Attack from the original ''Wario Land'' games, covering a longer distance. | |||
