| | '''Flat Wario''' is one of [[Wario]]'s many transformations in the ''[[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land]]'' game series. If crushed by a falling weight in ''Wario Land'' [[Wario Land 2|2]]-[[Wario Land 4|4]], Wario is squashed flat, shortening his jump and drastically affecting his speed. However, he can glide smoothly in the air to reach places previously unattainable, and slip through tiny cracks in walls. Certain machines and enemies will return Wario to his original shape, as well as getting wet. |

| '''Flat Wario'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Wario Land II'' instruction booklet|page=11|language=en-us|date=1998|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Wario Land 4'' instruction booklet|page=21|date=2001|publisher=Nintendo of Europe|language=en-gb}}</ref> is one of [[Wario]]'s many reactions in the ''[[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land]]'' game series. Found in ''[[Wario Land II]]'', ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', and ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', it gives Wario the ability to descend lightly in the air and crawl across short gaps in tight spaces. | |
|
| |
|
| ==History==
| | Also, in ''[[Wario World]]'', the boss [[DinoMighty]] as well as many other monsters and obstacles can smash Wario into the ground and flatten him. |
| ===''Wario Land'' series===
| |
| In this state, Wario is squashed flat, reducing his movement speed and shortening his jump (with the ''Wario Land II'' manual incorrectly stating that he is unable to jump at all). However, he is impervious to harm, can glide smoothly in the air to reach places previously unattainable, and slip through tiny passageways without falling through one-tile-wide gaps. In ''Wario Land 3'', Flat Wario can jump higher if the user presses up on {{button|gb|pad}}, even if the [[The Colossal Hole#Green Chest: High Jump Boots|High Jump Boots]] have not yet been found. Flat Wario is the only non-normal form in ''Wario Land 3'' to retain its high jump power from ''Wario Land II''.

| |
|
| Certain machines and enemies will be able to cause Wario to be flat, as well as returning Wario back to normal. In ''Wario Land II'', Wario can become flat by being squashed by a [[Pouncer|weight]] released by a [[D-Bat]]; he returns back to normal after being stretched up by a D-Bat that is not carrying anything. In ''Wario Land 3'', Wario can become flat by being squashed by an [[Omodon]] released by an [[Omodonmeka]] or after a [[Count Richtertoffen]] lands on him; he returns back to normal after an [[Omodonmeka]] pulls Wario up to stretch him up. In ''Wario Land 4'', [[Wario]] can be crushed by a [[piston]] in order to be flattened, and a [[Decompressor]] will unflatten him back into his normal self. In the aforementioned games, Wario can also return to normal from being flat after being exposed to water.
| | Flat Wario makes a cameo appearance in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' at the end of the game. At the end of [[Wario-Man]]'s cutscene, the [[Sewer Guru|guru]] that Wario stole the DS from is mad from before, so he whacks him on the head with his cane. As a result, he turns into Flat Wario. |
|
| |
|
| In ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', Wario can be flattened by large objects (such as [[block]]s) that fall on him. However, it possesses no actual importance to the gameplay. | | In ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'' Wario can be flattened by large objects (such as [[block]]s) that fall on him, however it possesses no actual importance to the gameplay. |

| | A possible reference to this form of Wario can be found in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''. In one of his failure animations, Wario holds a huge boulder over his head and tosses it into the air in rage. The boulder eventually comes down again and hits him in the head, flattening him in the process. He then proceeds to walk off to the right of the screen in a manner similar to Flat Wario. |

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Though there are no reactions in ''[[Wario World]]'', the boss [[DinoMighty]] as well as many other monsters and obstacles can smash Wario into the ground and flatten him but this otherwise serves so Wario takes damage and is no way useful.
