The '''mandrake''' (originally localized as '''Nasty Garlic''') is an uprooted and brown root with a sour face and a peculiar body shape that first appears in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' It is based on the poisonous {{wp|Mandrake#Magic and witchcraft|real-life plant of the same name}} that, according to legend, shrieks when dug up and kills anyone that hears it.
==History==
===''WarioWare: Touched!''===
The Nasty Garlic first appears in ''WarioWare: Touched!'' in [[Wario-Man]]'s story. When [[Wario]] feels sick, he goes to the fridge and tries to get some [[garlic]] to cure his sickness. Though he accidentally grabs the Nasty Garlic, he eats it anyway. The Nasty Garlic causes Wario's immune system to attack the [[Awful Virus]]es (where the player can tap the Awful Viruses and get the [[Wario Virus]]es to eat them) which then causes Wario to turn into Wario-Man. Once Wario-Man's story is completed, the player can drag it to Wario and turn into Wario-Man in the main menu to play his [[microgame]]s. Wario can return back to normal by being fed a [[Bomb (WarioWare series)|bomb]]. If the player drags the Nasty Garlic to anyone else, they get confused instead.

A similar-looking, root-like object appears in the opening cutscene of [[Ashley]] & [[Red (WarioWare series)|Red]]'s stage, as one of the four ingredients that has to be dragged into Ashley's pot. Like the Nasty Garlic, this object has roots shaped like a body, and an annoyed expression with puckered lips on its bulb, but the bulb is yellow instead of brown.

===''WarioWare Gold''===
In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', the incident from ''WarioWare: Touched!'' is referenced when [[Ashley]] brings similar supposed garlic to the Potluck Gang. [[Red (WarioWare series)|Red]] worriedly identifies it as mandrake root and warns that its cry can be fatal, prompting [[Dribble & Spitz|Spitz]] to cry like a mandrake as a prank, terrifying Red. If the player fails a microgame in this stage, the following card shows a mandrake. In addition, it is a subject of the [[List of WarioWare Gold souvenirs#Minigames|souvenir minigames]] [[Pumpkin Panic]] and [[Root Awakening]].

===''WarioWare: Get It Together!''===
In Ashley's story in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', several mandrakes invade [[Ashley's Mansion|her mansion]] while she waits for dinner. When they attack her, she turns them into food. The majority of them are turned into donuts. Mandrakes appear in the microgames [[The Vampire Arose]] and [[Veggie Out!]] A mandrake root appears as a [[Prezzy]] and in one of [[Pyoro]]'s character gallery images.

==Trivia==
*In the English version of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', [[Palutena|Palutena's]] [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Guidance]] states that the garlic Wario consumes to transform into Wario-Man for his [[Final Smash]] is Nasty Garlic, despite it looking like a normal head of garlic; however, in the Japanese version, Palutena instead makes a note that the garlic is not the mandrake.<ref>[http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/08/11/wariofart2/ Why Does Wario Fart? (Part Two)]. ''sourcegaming.info''. Retrieved February 2, 2016. ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150812001455/www.sourcegaming.info/2015/08/11/wariofart2/ Archived] August 12, 2015, 00:14:55 UTC via Wayback Machine.)</ref> This has been partially corrected in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where Palutena's dialog was edited to replace the incorrect usage of Nasty Garlic with garlic.
