Editing Wario Cap

{{quote|[[Wario]], I found this cap in front of [[Peach's Castle|the castle]] a little while ago. I knew it was yours because of its distinctive...erm...aroma. Actually, it reeked pret-ty bad. I can't believe I touched it. You really should wash that thing more often. Anyways, here you go.|[[Toad (species)|Toad]]|[[Super Mario 64 DS]]}}

The '''Wario Cap''' (or '''Wario's cap''') is [[Wario]]'s traditional headwear. It appears in most games with Wario, but it is usually absent in the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series, as Wario wears a biking outfit in that series instead. Like [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], Wario has been seen wearing the [[cap]] since he was a [[Baby Wario|baby]], as seen in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Unlike the [[Mario Cap]], the Wario Cap usually serves no function other than for decorative purposes.

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Wario's cap can be found and worn by either [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], or [[Yoshi]] to transform into Wario. Until he is unlocked, the only course his cap appears in is the [[Hazy Maze Cave]]. If Wario loses his own cap, his defense and strength sharply decline, and he cannot pick up other characters' caps or turn into [[Metal Mario|Metal Wario]]. If the player collects a [[Power Star]] in a different course while the cap is still missing, Wario can retrieve his cap by talking to a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] (who will have found and be wearing it) in the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]'s lobby. The Toad says the cap "reeks pretty bad" and suggests that Wario should wash it more often.

The Wario Cap is a yellow [[cap]], with a large blue ''W'' [[emblem]] inside a small white circle and a white rim. The Wario Cap previously appeared in different colors. In some segments of ''[[Wario's Woods (Nintendo Entertainment System)|Wario's Woods]]'', his cap appears purple, although in the [[Wario's Woods (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|the SNES version]], his cap appears yellow like his official artwork. In ''[[Wario Land II]]'' and ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', the Wario Cap is depicted as white in-game due to the color limitations of the [[Game Boy Color]]. In ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' and ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'', his cap was gray due to the monochrome display of the [[Game Boy]]. In ''[[Wario Land 4]]'' and ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', his cap is depicted as yellow like his official artwork.

The cap has also been imitated on different headgear Wario has worn. Wario's ''WareWare'' helmet is in the style of his cap with the white rim and blue ''W'' emblem. Wario's safari hat from ''Wario Land'' also has his signature blue ''W'' emblem.
