'''Zombie Wario''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Wario Land II'' instruction booklet|page=13|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=1998}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Wario Land 4'' instruction booklet|page=22|publisher=Nintendo of Europe|date=2001|language=en-gb}}</ref> also known as '''Ghoul Wario''',<ref>{{cite|date=Fall 2001|title=''Nintendo Power Advance'' Volume 3|page=52|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> is one of [[Wario]]'s reactions in ''[[Wario Land II]]'', ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', and ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. 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]]'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. On the other hand, he moves slower than before, and his jump height is reduced or in ''Wario Land II'', could not jump at all. To return to his normal form, Wario must walk into light or fall into a body of water.

Zombie Wario appears once in ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]''. Wario transforms into Zombie Wario by Cractus's drool. Sunlight reverts him back to normal.

==Trivia==
*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>
