| ==History==
| | '''Vampire Wario'''<ref>''Wario Land 3'' English instruction booklet, page 25.</ref> is one of [[Wario]]'s many transformations in the ''[[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land]]'' series of games, appearing in ''[[Wario Land 3]]''. |

| |
| In ''Wario Land 3'', Vampire Wario can be triggered by coming in contact with a [[Kobatto]], causing Wario to become a vampire. He is then able to defeat any enemy upon contact which can be used to get foes blocking Wario's path such as [[Lump|Prince Froggy]]. He is also able to float over and jump from the surface of water. By pressing {{button|gbc|B}} on the ground, he can become [[Bat Wario|Bat-Wario]], who is capable of flight, but is smaller and can only slowly make fluttering leaps while on the ground rather than walking. To turn back to his normal self, he must touch a head of [[garlic]], go into a patch of light, or touch a droplet of water (similar to [[Zombie Wario]]), meaning that if Vampire Wario is required in another part of the level, the aforementioned objects are basically obstacles. Vampire Wario cannot cross waterfalls, unlike normal Wario.

| | It can be triggered by coming in contact with a [[Kobat]], causing Wario to become a vampire. He is then able to defeat any enemy upon contact. By pressing {{button|gbc|B}} on the ground, he will switch between forms; the bat form is slower, but is able to fly rather than jump. To turn into his normal self, he must touch a clove of [[garlic]], go into a patch of light, or fall into a pool or droplet of water. The patches of light become obstacles for Vampire Wario, as he must avoid them when he does not wish to resume his adventure in his normal state. A similar transformation appears called [[Vampire Bat Wario]] appears in ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. |

| In ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]'', if the player is playing as [[Dr. Mario]] and has not lost or rematch at any point in normal mode or greater, Wario will eat the [[Capsule#Dr. Mario 64|Megavitamin]]s and transform into a vampire and a match will ensue. Defeating him in one battle will unlock Vampire Wario as a playable character. In multiplayer modes, Vampire Wario has the highest-level AI along with [[Rudy]] and [[Metal Mario]]. Vampire Wario's losing animation has him transform into a bat, while his winning animation has him cackling.

| *Wario's vampire form is somewhat ironic because he eats garlic, a plant that is said to repel vampires. | | *Wario's vampire form is somewhat ironic because he eats garlic, a food that repels vampires. |
| *The music heard while Wario sports his vampire form shares similar percussion and overall tone with the music that plays when inside [[Snide's HQ]] from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', although it is 8-bit because of the [[Game Boy Color]] hardware limitations. | | *When Wario uses the [[Vampire Candy]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', he resembles his vampire form. |
| *While the form itself does not directly appear, Wario turns into a vampire when using a [[Vampire Candy]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', and upon successfully completing the microgame [[Wet Your Whistle]] on the highest difficulty in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''.
| |
| *Vampire Wario is the only reaction to have a unique Action Help demonstration, but not the only one with a unique demo (Wario holding a zipline handle and Wario holding an [[Owl (species)|Owl]] also have different Action Help demos).
