'''Baby Wario''' is a character who first appears in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. He is [[Wario]] as an infant and has the same greedy personality as him. Baby Wario's special move is "magnetism", in which he pulls out a magnet which attracts coins. His magnet is also capable of raising metallic platforms and moving large, metal boxes.  


'''Baby Wario''' is the baby version of [[Wario]].
Wario also appears as a baby in a scene of the German [[Club Nintendo (German magazine)|''Club Nintendo'' magazine]] comic [[Warios Weihnachtsmärchen]], though not as the character Baby Wario.
==History==
===''Yoshi's Island DS''===
When Baby Wario was originally kidnapped in ''Yoshi's Island DS'', the [[Toady|Toadies]] found his crying to be annoying, so they left him alone in [[Heeeeeeere's Wario!|World 3-5]]. Some time after that, [[Yoshi]] finds Baby Wario after being washed away by a large wave and separated from the [[Stork]] and the other babies. Baby Wario assisted Yoshi throughout the rest of [[World 3 (Yoshi's Island DS)|World 3]], but leaves him after [[Castle of Priscilla the Peckish|World 3-8]], joining up with a group of [[Bandit]]s in hope of even more riches. Yoshi and the rest of the babies meet up with Baby Wario one last time in [[At Last, Bowser's Castle!|Bowser's Castle]]. He helps the Yoshis by defeating [[Bowser]] on the back of [[Yoshi (species)|Purple Yoshi]]. After the castle is destroyed and the team finds the babies, Baby Wario lands on a very large [[Treasure Chest]] filled with treasure. However, Baby Bowser also lands in the treasure, initiating an argument over it.  


Baby Wario appears in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', along with [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Peach]], [[Baby Bowser]] and [[Baby Donkey Kong]]. Not much is known about this infant, but it appears that Wario was greedy even as a child. Baby Wario's special move has been officially stated to be "magnetism", which allows him to grab Adult Wario's favorite things, [[coin|Coins]]. The magnet can also grab hold of metal platforms around the area.  
At the end of the game, it is revealed that Baby Wario, like [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]], [[Baby Bowser]], [[Baby DK]], [[Baby Peach]], and [[Baby Yoshi]], is one of the seven [[star children]].


When Baby Wario was originally kidnapped, his tantrums got so annoying that the Toadies decided to abandon him in World 3-5. Some time after that, [[Yoshi]] stumbled across him, having been separated from [[the Stork]] and the other babies. Baby Wario assisted Yoshi throughout the rest of World 3, but he got away from him after Level 3-8, joining up with [[Bandit]]s in hope of even more riches. Yoshi, and the rest of the babies meet up with Baby Wario one last time in [[Bowser's Castle]] where he and Baby Bowser are arguing over the castle's treasure. After helping the Yoshis defeat [[Bowser]] and the castle's subsequent destruction, Baby Wario claims the treasure for himself. However, Baby Bowser, who got knocked out by the debris trying to ride on Kamek's broom, falls into the treasure, beginning their arguments again.  
===''Dr. Mario World''===
[[File:DrMarioWorld BabyWario.jpg|thumb|Baby Wario as he appears in ''Dr. Mario World'']]
Baby Wario returns in the June 26, 2020 update for ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as '''Dr. Baby Wario''', making his first 3D appearance.


== Trivia ==
Dr. Baby Wario's skill in stage mode is to collect all the coins within a 3x3 targeted area, which include the [[virus coin]]s in the background, every coin in the [[Coin Block]]s and [[Muddy Coin]]s no matter how much mud are covered on them. The only coins that cannot be collected this way are [[Barrier|barriers]] that are activated, [[Caged coin|caged coins]] with its cages intact or coins within colored cages. The way this skill works is that after it is activated, Dr. Baby Wario will prepare his magnet, and then a target will move around the stage. By tapping the screen, coins within the range will be collected with the magnet. Prior to version 2.3.0, the target moves in a predetermined direction in a cycle, but since that version, the target moves slower and in random directions orthogonally. Since version 2.3.0, using this skill when there are no coins in the stage will instead eliminate one random virus or object, whereas previously this skill will proceed as normal even though there are no coins to be collected. In versus Mode, Dr. Baby Wario's skill sends three, six, nine or twelve purple coins to the opponent's play area at level 1 to 4 respectively. At level 5 this skill also sends 12 coins, but the skill meter is filled a faster rate compared to level 4. Coins sent by Dr. Baby Wario can be eliminated through making a capsule match next to it or eliminating it directly such as using a skill on it.
*Baby Wario is also playable in Extra 3: [[Number Ball Special]].
{{br}}
*Baby Wario has Wario's near-famous pointy ears. However, in his artwork, his hat or Yoshi covers them, so it could have led many to assume that he has normal ears.
 
*Baby Wario, [[Baby Yoshi]] and Baby Bowser were the only babies who did not appear in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''
==General information==
*Interestingly, adult Wario uses a magnet as one of his abilities in ''Mario Super Sluggers'' that could very well be the same one he used as a baby. This would mean that Wario has kept the same magnet ever since his childhood.

Baby Wario is a character who first appears in Yoshi's Island DS. He is Wario as an infant and has the same greedy personality as him. Baby Wario's special move is "magnetism", in which he pulls out a magnet which attracts coins. His magnet is also capable of raising metallic platforms and moving large, metal boxes.

Wario also appears as a baby in a scene of the German Club Nintendo magazine comic Warios Weihnachtsmärchen, though not as the character Baby Wario.

History[edit]

Yoshi's Island DS[edit]

When Baby Wario was originally kidnapped in Yoshi's Island DS, the Toadies found his crying to be annoying, so they left him alone in World 3-5. Some time after that, Yoshi finds Baby Wario after being washed away by a large wave and separated from the Stork and the other babies. Baby Wario assisted Yoshi throughout the rest of World 3, but leaves him after World 3-8, joining up with a group of Bandits in hope of even more riches. Yoshi and the rest of the babies meet up with Baby Wario one last time in Bowser's Castle. He helps the Yoshis by defeating Bowser on the back of Purple Yoshi. After the castle is destroyed and the team finds the babies, Baby Wario lands on a very large Treasure Chest filled with treasure. However, Baby Bowser also lands in the treasure, initiating an argument over it.

At the end of the game, it is revealed that Baby Wario, like Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Bowser, Baby DK, Baby Peach, and Baby Yoshi, is one of the seven star children.

Baby Wario returns in the June 26, 2020 update for Dr. Mario World as Dr. Baby Wario, making his first 3D appearance.

Dr. Baby Wario's skill in stage mode is to collect all the coins within a 3x3 targeted area, which include the virus coins in the background, every coin in the Coin Blocks and Muddy Coins no matter how much mud are covered on them. The only coins that cannot be collected this way are barriers that are activated, caged coins with its cages intact or coins within colored cages.
