Editing Ghosts of Christmas

The '''Ghosts of Christmas''' are characters that appear in the [[Club Nintendo (magazine)|German ''Club Nintendo'']] comic "[[Warios Weihnachtsmärchen]]". They are based on the ghosts in [[Charles Dickens]]' ''{{wp|A Christmas Carol}}'', and they serve the same function: making the main character of the story ([[Wario]]) aware of his bad behavior in order to turn him into a better man.

===Ghost of Past===

'''Geist der Vergangenheit''' (Ghost of Past), resembling [[Toad]], appears when Wario is lying in bed, after he had cold-heartedly fired [[Bomberman]] out of [[Warios Bombenladen|his shop]]. The ghost shows Wario two events of his past: First, there is a scene with baby [[Baby Mario|Mario]] and [[Baby Wario|Wario]] on the beach, with the former having lots of friends around, while the latter is all alone due to his meanness. The second event is [[Mario]] and Wario's graduation ball. [[Princess Peach|Toadstool]] danced only with Mario, because he was much nicer than his rival. After he has seen these events, Wario admits that he has always been a bad man.

===Ghost of Present===

'''Geist der Gegenwart''' (Ghost of Present) resembles [[Link]] and appears just after the Ghost of Past is gone. He takes Wario to Bomberman as well as [[Kid Klown]] and [[Kirby]], all of which he has displeased the day before. After this experience, Wario asks how he can amend his behavior.

===Ghost of Future===

'''Geist der Zukunft''' (Ghost of Future) appears in form of the {{wp|Death (personification)|Grim Reaper}}, and takes Wario to a toy shop in the future. Two kids are asking for [[Wario (franchise)|''Wario'' games]], but are told that nobody would care about this "nasty guy" anymore. The children agree and decide to buy the latest ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' game instead. Finally, the Ghost of Future invites Wario to a graveyard, where he finds his own forsaken grave. The ghost tells Wario what to do, and Wario follows his instructions: He rehires Bomberman, gives cookies to Kirby and Kid Klown, and joins Mario's Christmas party.
