Template:Item-infobox Garlic is portrayed as Wario's favorite food, appearing as recurring item in the Wario Land and WarioWare series. It often functions as a beneficial item that heals Wario or confers him strength. In effect, Wario is said to eat whole cloves of garlic constantly, making him smelly as a result.[1]

History

Wario franchise

Wario Land series

In Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 and Virtual Boy Wario Land, a type of garlic power-up called the Garlic Bottle appears. It turns Small Wario into normal Wario, and normal Wario into Bull Wario. In Wario Land 3, garlic is one of the treasures 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 transforms 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.

Shaking an enemy in Wario Land: Shake It! will occasionally cause it to drop a head of garlic, which will start bouncing on the ground until collected. Garlic heals one heart of Wario's life meter. Some enemies release a bigger type of garlic, which restores three hearts of Wario's life meter.
