'''Wario-Man''' is [[Wario]]'s alter-ego in the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' games]]. Wario transforms into this form by eating some sort of [[garlic]], his favorite food. In the ''WarioWare'' games, Wario-Man hosts the last set of [[microgame|microgames]] the player faces. His games have no specific theme, but they all involve Wario to at least some degree. Wario-Man also appears as Wario's [[Final Smash]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].

In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', while checking up on [[Dr. Crygor]]'s production of ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' systems, Wario decides to sit down on the assembly line and play a game.  He is then tossed into Dr. Crygor's [[Gravitator]]. When he comes out, he turns into Wario-Man. When the player completes his stage, he goes back in the Gravitator and gets a power suit, and flies up in space. Meanwhile, [[Orbulon]], [[Mona]], [[9-Volt]], [[18-Volt]], [[Kat & Ana|Kat, and Ana]] take a cruise on Orbulon's new, yellow [[Oinker|UFO]]. The UFO then sees Wario-Man and attacks him. Mona recognizes Wario in the suit. After being attacked, he falls down in the sea near [[Dr. Crygor's Lab]] and turns back to normal. Dr. Crygor is also seen fishing during this time.

''WarioWare: Twisted!'' is the only time Wario-Man's mustache is red.  In all other games, it is black.

Wario-Man appears again in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', though how Wario transforms into him is different. In this game, Wario starts to feel sick. He decides to eat some garlic to relieve himself, but accidentally grabs [[Mandrake|Nasty Garlic]]. Since garlic is Wario's personal cure-all, he goes ahead and eats it anyway. The apparent garlic weakens the [[Awful Virus]]es in Wario's stomach, and when the [[Wario Virus]]es eat the Awful Viruses (thanks to the player), they are supercharged, turning Wario into Wario-Man. Later on, Wario-Man tries to stop a train with his newly acquired power, but is sent flying and gets knocked all the way into a sewer, where he changes back into Wario. However, he lands on the [[Sewer Guru]], who retaliates by whacking him with a stick.
Wario-Man appears again in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', though how Wario transforms into him is different. In this game, Wario starts to feel sad. He decides to eat some [[garlic]] to relieve himself, but the only garlic head left in the fridge is green and odd-looking. Since garlic is Wario's personal cure-all, he goes ahead and eats it anyway. The garlic infects Wario's stomach with viruses, and when Wario's immune system eats the viruses the reaction turns Wario into Wario-Man, and he starts to go on a rampage. Later on, Wario-Man is hit by a train and knocked into a sewer, where he changes back to Wario, fights the [[Sewer Guru]], and gets hurt by doing so.
 
This game suggests that Wario-Man doesn't gain many enhanced abilities, as it is shown he can't fly very high or fast, and he has difficulty crushing a toaster and the train that eventually knocks him away. However, it may simply mean Wario's sickness wasn't cured by the garlic.

Wario-Man appears in ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'', the [[WiiWare]] counterpart to ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' He helps people open doors to the bathroom. Succeeding one of the microgames will make Wario-Man successfully open a door to the bathroom. Failing a microgame causes Wario-Man to fail at opening the door.

Wario-Man cameos twice in ''[[Game & Wario]]'': in the second stage of [[Sole Man]], where he must avoid a monster's foot; and in one of the prizes of Cluck-A-Pop, where he is answering the phone after the player dials a phone number. It is notable that Wario-Man refers to himself as '''W-Man''' in the latter cameo, rather than his full name.

Wario-Man is Wario's [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]''. Unlike most Final Smashes, Wario's Final Smash is more of a power-up than an attack. When the Final Smash is used, Wario eats a head of garlic and gains a superhero suit, greatly increasing his attack power and speed. He can use his regular attack moves at a much faster pace, enabling him to perform follow-up hits more easily.
|[[File:SSBB - Wario Man Screenshot.png|200px]] [[Image:Wario-Man.jpg|200px]]
 
|'''Wario-Man'''
Wario-Man also has the effects of a [[Super Star]] in that he's invincible to all forms of attacks, but he can still take damage by going off-screen or eating explosives.

|align=left
When using his normal attacks, Wario-Man will hit with extra power, or gain added effects to the moves. His punches will act similarly to a smash attack, and his mid-air moves allow him to gain altitude with each move (except his down aerial, which can now meteor smash). The [[Corkscrew (Super Smash Bros. series)|Corkscrew]] also gains electric effects, the [[Wario Bike]] travels much faster, and his [[Wario Waft]] can potentially be a one-hit KO if it's fully charged.

Wario-Man is Wario's [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Unlike most Final Smashes, Wario's Final Smash is more of a power-up than an attack. When Wario breaks open the [[Smash Ball]] and the Special button is pressed, he eats a hunk of [[Garlic]] and gains a superhero suit, that boosts his power and speed by quite a large margin. He is invincible in this state, and will not take damage or even flinch from attacks. When using his normal attacks, he will hit with extra power, or gain added effects to the moves. His punches will act similarly to a [[Smash Attack]], and his mid-air moves allow him to gain altitude with each move (except his down aerial).
Much like with [[Giga Bowser]], Wario-Man is unaffected by [[Cap Block#Super Smash Bros. series|Metal Box]]es, as he never takes a metallic appearance, even in a Metal Special Smash. However, Wario-Man's size can be altered by the use of [[Super Mushroom]]s, [[Poison Mushroom]]s, [[Lightning]], and the similar Special Smashes, which can increase or decrease his overall attack power.
 
Wario-Man returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as Wario's Final Smash; however, instead of fighting as him, the Final Smash is more cinematic. Upon activating it, Wario eats a head of garlic and dashes forwards, catching any opponents in front of him. If successful, he traps them in front of a bright-green background and lands a flurry of punches as multiple cartoon-styled onomatopoeia such as "BOOM!!" and "POW!" (reminiscent of those found in superhero comics) appear on-screen. Wario then finishes opponents off with a Wario Waft-like attack, which launches them away.

===Other appearances===
[[File:Rhythmware Mona.jpeg|150px|thumb|The Wrestler wearing a Wario-Man outfit in the Wario... Where? set]]
Wario-Man is referenced in the ''Wario... Where? 2: The Sequel'' challenge set of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. In the final game of the set, [[rhythmheaven:Ringside|Ringside]], the Wrestler wears clothing resembling him while being interviewed by the Reporter (wearing a [[Mona]] outfit).


==Profiles and statistics==
In addition to boosted normal moves, his [[Super Smash Bros. Special Moves|Special Moves]] will also gain extra strength and tactics, and a fully charged Wario Waft can almost always make 1-hit KOs (KOing even at 0%), but his added speed will act as a downside when using the [[Wario Bike]], as he will ride it very fast, which can result in falling off the stage. On the upside, however, the power of the bike is also greatly increased. Unlike in ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', his mustache does not turn red, for it is still black.
