[[File:WL3VampireWarioSprite.png|frame|left]]
In ''Wario Land 3'', Vampire Wario can be triggered by coming in contact with a [[Kobatto]], causing Wario to become a vampire. He is then able to defeat any enemy upon contact which can be used to get foes blocking Wario's path such as [[Lump|Prince Froggy]]. He is also able to float over and jump from the surface of water. By pressing {{button|gbc|B}} on the ground, he can become [[Bat Wario|Bat-Wario]], who is capable of flight, but is smaller and can only slowly make fluttering leaps while on the ground rather than walking. To turn back to his normal self, he must touch a head of [[garlic]], go into a patch of light, or touch a droplet of water (similar to [[Zombie Wario]]), meaning that if Vampire Wario is required in another part of the level, the aforementioned objects are basically obstacles. Vampire Wario cannot cross waterfalls, unlike normal Wario.

In ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]'', if the player is playing as [[Dr. Mario]] and has not lost or rematch at any point in normal mode or greater, Wario will eat the [[Capsule#Dr. Mario 64|Megavitamin]]s and transform into a vampire and a match will ensue. Defeating him in one battle will unlock Vampire Wario as a playable character. In multiplayer modes, Vampire Wario has the highest-level AI along with [[Rudy]] and [[Metal Mario]]. Vampire Wario's losing animation has him transform into a bat, while his winning animation has him cackling.

'''Vampire Wario''', alternatively named '''Vampire Bat Wario''' or '''Bat Wario''', is one of [[Wario]]'s many transformations in the ''[[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land]]'' series of games. It can be triggered by coming in contact with a [[Minicula]], causing Wario to sprout a pair of pointy fangs and become a Vampire Bat. He is then able to defeat any enemy upon contact. By pressing the {{button|gba|B}} button, Vampire Wario will transform into his Bat form, with which he can fly in short spurts. To turn into his normal self, he must touch a clove of [[garlic]], go into a patch of light, or fall into a pool or droplet of water. The patches of light become obstacles for Vampire Wario, as he must avoid them when he does not wish to resume his adventure in his normal state. In ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', Wario goes straight to bat form and only stays in bat form. In ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]'', if the player is playing as [[Dr. Mario (character)|Dr. Mario]], and has not lost at any point prior to Wario's second match in hard mode or greater, Wario will eat the [[Megavitamin]]s and transform into Vampire. Defeating him in one battle will unlock Vampire Wario as selectable character.

History[edit]

Wario Land 3[edit]

Vampire Wario in Wario Land 3.

In Wario Land 3, Vampire Wario can be triggered by coming in contact with a Kobatto, causing Wario to become a vampire. He is then able to defeat any enemy upon contact which can be used to get foes blocking Wario's path such as Prince Froggy. He is also able to float over and jump from the surface of water. By pressing B Button on the ground, he can become Bat-Wario, who is capable of flight, but is smaller and can only slowly make fluttering leaps while on the ground rather than walking. To turn back to his normal self, he must touch a head of garlic, go into a patch of light, or touch a droplet of water (similar to Zombie Wario), meaning that if Vampire Wario is required in another part of the level, the aforementioned objects are basically obstacles. Vampire Wario cannot cross waterfalls, unlike normal Wario.

Dr. Mario 64[edit]

Vampire Wario's losing animation has him transform into a bat, while his winning animation has him cackling.
