'''Puffy Wario''' is one of [[Wario]]'s many transformations in the ''[[Wario Land]]'' series of games. To achieve this transformation, Wario must be stung by a bee enemy, like  a [[Beezley]] from ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. He will then swell up, filling his head with air, allowing him to slowly float upward until he hits the ceiling. He would then return to normal, and fall back down.

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.
