Wanda
Wanda is a fairy who first appeared in the Japanese-only Super Famicom release, Mario & Wario. In this game, the player controlled Wanda using the Super Famicom Mouse, providing a safe pathway for the aimlessly-wandering Mario, Princess Peach, and Yoshi, who have had buckets dropped on their heads by Wario.
Although Wanda's first appearance did not come to the United States, she reappeared in another SNES puzzle game, Wario's Woods, which was also the last (licensed) game released for the NES. There, she helped Toad clear out monsters by providing him with bombs. Ultimately she played a key role as she helped Toad to save the Mushroom Kingdom by thwarting Wario's plans through defeating his monsters and minions as well as Wario himself.
After only appearing in two games with Wario's name in the title, Wanda has yet to make a returning appearance.
