'''Wanda''' is a character in ''[[Mario & Wario]]''.

In the game ''[[Mario & Wario]]'', the player controls Wanda using the [[Super Famicom Mouse]], providing a safe pathway for the aimlessly-wandering [[Princess Peach]], [[Mario]], and [[Yoshi]], who have had [[bucket]]s and other objects dropped on their heads by [[Wario]] and were all separated from [[Luigi]]. Her role is to create safer pathways by utilizing her [[magic wand]] to alter the surroundings of the environments and obstacles that were in the way of the blinded heroes. If she does not clear the obstacles in front of the blinded characters, the level would not be able to be completed as the blinded characters would not be able to reach their target destination. During the bonus minigames after every ten courses, she uses a [[hammer]] to hit Wario's plane for [[coin]]s. In the ending, Wanda is seen presenting the "THANK YOU" message on the screen as the heroes defeat Wario and celebrate her success.

In the second act, set years later after the first, Wanda is banished from the Fairies' album by the [[Chiyōrō-sama|fairy elder]] due to another explosive potion of hers. This is revealed to be a saving grace, as Fauster is once again freed by Wario and uses the power given to him by having an [[Baby Luigi|infant Luigi]] sacrificed to him to turn all the fairies into stone, except for Wanda. In their journey to defeat Fauster, Wanda and Mario are accompanied by Peach and Birdo. After defeating [[Goro]], the group splits up and Wanda goes with Mario, who gets hypnotized by [[Mad]]'s mermaid voice. Wanda attempts to free Mario from the trance by creating a potion that would wake him up, but it explodes, freeing him from the mermaid spell. After Fauster completely regains his power and fuses with Luigi into a giant Luigi-esque demon, Wanda attempts to create an exploding potion and finally manages to create the desired growing potion and becomes a giant. Wario, however, re-writes her name on the Fairies' album, and she is instantly petrified. Distraught by the situation, Wanda cries a tear that lands on Mario, making him [[Mega Mario|bigger]] and leading him to defeat Fuaster, saving the world, the petrified fairies, and Luigi.
