'''Vampire Wario''' is a reaction of [[Wario]]'s which first appears in ''[[Wario Land 3]]''.
[[File:WL4-Vampire Bat.PNG|frame|left|[[Wario]]. just transformed into '''Vampire Wario'''.]]
 
'''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.
