Garlic is often associated with Wario throughout the Super Mario franchise. It is Wario's favorite food, often functioning as a beneficial item that either strengthens him or restores his health. Wario's bad smell is a result of too much garlic consumption.[1]

History[edit]

Wario franchise[edit]

Wario Land series[edit]

In Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, a type of garlic power-up called the Garlic Pot appears. It turns Small Wario into normal Wario, and normal Wario into Bull Wario. It returns in Virtual Boy Wario Land as the garlic bottle.

In Wario Land 3, garlic represents the Super Smash treasure that Wario has to collect. Once found in the Tower of Revival, after Wario opens the blue snake door, it will confer him the ability to break solid blocks. Also in Wario Land 3, several heads of garlic can be seen hanging from some platforms in Forest of Fear; if Wario is transformed into a vampire and touches a garlic head, he instantly reverts to his regular form.

In the pre-release versions of Wario Land 4, the Heart Gauge was shorter and had a garlic icon next to it, implying that Wario originally had to collect garlic rather than little hearts to recover his Heart Meter.

In Wario Land: Shake It!, garlic restores hearts in Wario's life meter. Shaking an enemy will occasionally cause it to drop a head of garlic, which will start bouncing on the ground until collected. Most enemies' garlic only restores one heart, while some enemies (such as the white Bandinero) release a bigger type which restores three hearts.

Wario World[edit]

Garlic is a healing item in Wario World. They are obtained from Garlic Dispensers in exchange for coins, and sometimes within wooden chests.

In WarioWare: Touched!, Wario eats a "Nasty Garlic" in Wario-Man's intro cutscene and transforms into Wario-Man. After the microgames are beaten for the first time, it will then appear on the main selection screen so that Wario can turn back into Wario-Man at any time.

In WarioWare Gold, garlic has a critical role in Wario Kard, where one garlic can be spent to challenge an opponent. The player gains one garlic every five minutes, and they can have up to three. Alternatively, the player can spend 500 coins for garlic instead.
