This undead alter-ego is triggered by being touched by a [[Zombie]] (''Wario Land II'' and ''Wario Land 3''), touched by a [[Ghost (Wario Land II enemy)|Ghost]] (''Wario Land II''), spat at by a [[Skeleton Bird]] (''Wario Land 4''), or coming in to contact with [[Cractus|Cractus's]] Drool (''Wario Land 4''). When a zombie, Wario is impervious to all enemy damage, can defeat almost all enemies on touch, and fall through thin floors, making it quite useful at times. Unfortunately, he moves at a very slow speed, can barely jump (in his first appearance in ''Wario Land II'', he couldn't jump at all), and often his ability to fall through thin platforms is used to hinder him. To return to his normal form, Wario must walk into light or fall into a body of water. He also sometimes falls apart and then might come alive again. |

| *The artwork of ''Wario Land II'' and ''Wario Land 4'' show Zombie Wario lacking shoes, though his in-game sprite shows him wearing shoes. This is referenced on the Japanese website of the former, where Wario claims that the reason he walks slow as a zombie is because he wants to watch his step without shoes.<ref>{{cite|quote=「そうだ！見てのとおりゾンビなのだ！スリラーのバックダンサーではない！少しネタが古いか？オレ様の勝手だ！ゾンビになると、とても歩くのが遅くなる！それはなぜかって？靴を履いてないから、ウンチを踏まないように慎重に歩いているんだ！わかるかな～？わかんね～だろうな～！」 (''That's it! As you can see, I am a zombie! Not a {{wp|Thriller (song)|Thriller}} backup dancer! Is that bit too old? I'm out for number one! When becoming a zombie, walking is very slow! Why is that? Since I don't wear shoes, I walk carefully so as to not step on poop! You get it? You don't get it, I guess!'')|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/aw2j/page3.html|title=ワリオランド2|publisher=Nintendo|language=ja|accessdate=May 31, 2024}}</ref> | | *The artwork of ''Wario Land II'' shows Zombie Wario's skin still fresh, apparently; however, his in-game sprite shows him white as a sheet. In both the Game Boy Color re-release and ''Wario Land 3'', Zombie Wario's in-game sprite instead shows his skin as a darker green, possibly because of decomposition. |
| | | *In ''Wario Land 4'', although the artwork shows Zombie Wario's skin with a purple tone, the in-game sprites show his skin with a green tone. |
