Puffy Wario,[1][2] also known as Stung Wario,[3] Floating Wario,[4][5] and Puff Daddy Wario,[6] is one of Wario's reactions in the Wario Land series, and he is affected by it through different means in each installment. Once affected, he then swells up and fills his head with air, allowing him to slowly float upwards. This is usually used to get up to a high place, or as a means to be ejected from an area such as in boss battles like Yellow Belly and Wolfenboss. When Wario floats up into a ceiling, gets hurt, or is unable to continue to float up for any other reason, he will revert to his normal form and fall back towards the ground.

In Wario Land 4 he must get stung by a Beezley, get hit by the arrow that is shot by a Bow Balloon, or get hit by the minions of the boss Catbat.
