Wario performing the Dash Attack.

The Dash Attack, also known as the Wario Attack, is a Special Move frequently used by Wario that first appeared in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 and has since then appeared in many games featuring Wario, most prominently in the Wario Land series. Its main purpose is to attack enemies, but it can also be used to hit switches or break open treasure chests and Blocks.

History

Wario Land series

The move is a simple attack in these games; it can be used to attack one enemy at a time or to destroy blocks. In Wario Land 3, it can be upgraded to break harder blocks and attack several enemies at once.

Wario World

In this game, the Dash Attack makes Wario take off in a burst of speed when the player presses the R Button. This is handy for quickly moving around or barreling through enemies. Another move, coupling a Dash with a Wario Punch, can be executed by pressing, holding, and releasing the B Button.

WarioWare series

In the WarioWare games, the attack is used in some microgames, for example to enable Wario to break through walls to escape an avalanche of gold and treasure.

Wario: Master of Disguise

The attack returns in Wario: Master of Disguise, but only Thief Wario can use it. Unlike in past platformers featuring the move, Wario does not rush forward while executing it.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

The attack appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as one of Wario's Smash Attacks. Like in Wario: Master of Disguise, he stays in one spot while executing it (unless in his Wario-Man form).
