"However if a baby Waluigi doesnt appear soon, it will be clear cut proof that Waluigi is indeed Foreman Spike."

And this is logical . . . how? Sure, they have the same nose, but, one look and you can tell they're not the same. Waluigi's a skinny, tall guy. Foreman Spike is this fat slob. Waluigi Freak 99 17:40, 28 August 2006 (EDT)

This is true.HK-47w4z h3R3 at 17:47, 28 August 2006 (EDT)

• I think it should be noted that Foreman Spike resembles Wario more than he does resemble Waluigi.

Quote

We should cite where the quote came from, right by the speaker's name (just like in the Bowser article). -- Son of Suns

• Wario World's inside handbook, You guys know how he talks in his guides WarioLoaf (talk)

Images

No offense, but I think there are a bit too many images than the article needs here. -- Sir Grodus

• That's the gallery. I can clean the article images, though. WarioLoaf (talk)

Daisy has too much images as well. I say all of the Big Eight character shoulds get a giant gallery. Paper Jorge

• I'll work on that WarioLoaf (talk)

I'm not sure if a gallery of images is legal. Images are supposed to be used to enhance the information in the article, to provide a visual representation to help our understanding. There must be commentary. I believe a bunch of images in a gallery is a violation of copyright law. -- Son of Suns

• Untrue, my uncle's an atterny. He knows the inns and outs of Copyrights. This Wiki is based off of hundreds of Copy righted characters (Mario, Wario , Luigi, Boo, ect). The Gallerey represents the various looks of the Purple Plumber for the last decade or so. It's nothing illegal. WarioLoaf (talk)

For once, SoS, I think you're in the wrong here. Galleries give readers even more insight on, in this case, Wario's appearances and roles in the different variety of games he's included in. A gallery like this should be done for all of the Big Eight. Wa _T^C_@^Y 22:21, 8 December 2006 (EST)

I agree with Warioloaf and Wayoshi. You are wrong SoS. O_o First time you're wrong right? Paper Jorge

• To tell everyone, yes all the big eight is GONNA GET A GALLERY. just I've been real busy with the Piantas, Mario sunshine, and Mario Kart stuff WarioLoaf (talk)

I'm justing getting my info from the wiki's character image policy: This image is an illustration of a character in a video game, comic book, or animated television program or film. The copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher/producer and/or artist(s) producing the work in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of character artwork for commentary on the character in question qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information. If we can legitimately argue that the image is being used for commentary on the character, then we can keep the gallery. However, does a gallery provide commentary? -- Son of Suns

It comments on how the character is presented in other games and in which games the character appears in. Wa _T^C_@^Y 17:23, 10 December 2006 (EST)

• Same here, dude. It practicly shows Wario's carreir turn-about. From Hard hat and long sleeves to Bowler cap and short sleeves. let it go. WarioLoaf (talk)

Okay. Cool. Just wanted to make sure everyone was aware of the copyright policy and that the community feels we are obeying that policy. -- Son of Suns

• Well, it was a responsible thing you brought it up :) WarioLoaf (talk)

You keep saying that I am a great member in this community, but you never credit yourself. This was a good argument to bring up. ^_^ Wa _T^C_@^Y 18:04, 10 December 2006 (EST)

Trophy Info

I've copied down the information from Wario's trophy in SSB:M. Where should I put it? Usually, I'd just put it where ever I felt like, but since this is a Big Eight article, I thought I'd ask first. Wanderingshadow 12:02, 19 December 2006 (EST)

You need to create a new section in Games for the SSB series. Then, put it. It's a good thing that you asked this time. Wa _T^C_@^Y 15:04, 19 December 2006 (EST)

• Plus, no matter if it's a Big Eight Article, put the info down and we can work to fit it in with the pattern of images and such WarioLoaf (talk)

Vote for quote

As the title says, this is a vote to decide the main quote. --KPH2293 16:34, 1 February 2007 (EST)

Option 1

“It's-a Wii! Wario!”

—Wario, WarioWare: Smooth Moves

Option 2

“So admit it..... Don't I look cool in the game screens? Those long, muscular legs on my sturdy toned frame.... I'm the perfect specimen of a man..... What!?!? You say I look fat and my quadruple chin looks like a waterfall of flab? Shut up! That's just because you have your television set up on widescreen display!”

—Wario, Wario World

Option 1

1. It worked for mario. - Hyper Mushroom

That's a classic quote from SM64, however. Wario copying it in Smooth Moves doesn't seem right. Wa _T^C_@^Y 17:10, 2 February 2007 (EST)

Option 2

1. Quote 2 tells more about Wario's character from the gecko than Quote 1. Wa _T^C_@^Y 15:02, 1 February 2007 (EST)
2. Per Wayoshi. --KPH2293 16:33, 1 February 2007 (EST)
3. Same as above. YoshiFan 22:45, 2 February 2007 (EST)YoshiFan
4. This quote I always found funny. lol. pain to write, though. -- WarioLoaf (talk) 00:59, 3 February 2007 (EST)
5. Kinda long but better... User:Knife/sig1
6. Way funnier and original ^{Plumber, darkgreen}
7. I'm all for lenghy quotes. ;D This one's more original, and shows off who Wario is. I prefer it. :) (And, I only just got why Quote #1 was funny. xD It's-a Lii! Luigi hc! See, not original. ;P)
   ~ Luigi hc
8. I like the second quote better, even it is kind of long... --Triforce of PowerFile:Mlsswario.PNGIt's-a-Wii,Wario!

Random Question

Isn't Wario an elf?

I don't think so, I think its just the shoes and ears, there a little pointed. -- Sir Grodus

• I think he may. I wonder if he works for santa....... Wario'd eat Santa's Cookies. -- WarioLoaf (talk) 17:37, 14 February 2007 (EST)

Maybe it should be noted that he looks like an elf.Knife (talk)

OK, thanks! I was confused (as usual) on that. Maxlover2 20:25, 19 February 2007 (EST)

Expandment Requirements For it to be a FA

---

Please bring up any other comments on the FA Nomination Page

• Quality of writing is low.
• Grammar needs major work.
• Need to figure out if Wario hired Tatanga to kidnap Daisy.
• We need to detail Wario’s battles in Super Mario Land 2.
• Game sections in the biography can be expanded and clarified. What are some of the gameplay mechanics related to Wario, what’s the story, etc. Settings and items need to be clarified: where did Wario go in Wario Land II?; what kind of statue did Wario acquire in Wario Land? The Wario Land 4 section does not even name the Final Boss! There are just too many holes in the biographies. It needs a major rewriting.
• Wario World section needs to be greatly expanded, as well as WarioWare titles (some are not even named).
• “You”s need to be removed.
• Powers and abilities can be expanded.
• Key Relationships should be expanded (such as Mario and Waluigi) while others (like DK, Bowser, Peach, etc.) should be removed.

-- Son of Suns

Ditto. It needs a lot of cleanup and has a lot of misspellings... which I corrected here. This isn't good enough to be featured yet. --TheYellowDart—(T/C) 20:13, 7 April 2007 (EDT)

And too many images. It sandwiches text, a lot of these images are extraneous, and it's too hard on 56kers. - A Link to the Past 00:53, 10 May 2007 (EDT)

May I also add that most of the images lack both a source and an explanation as to why they are necessary? For instance, the Wario Blast one - I see nothing to say why it can be used or why it needs to be used, and even though it obviously came from somewhere, its origin is a mystery. - A Link to the Past 00:56, 10 May 2007 (EDT)

They are there to give an image description to readers who are more visual learners. ^Plumber

And they lack source and any good reason why we need those exact images. Oh, wow, the Wario Blast image tells the reader that... um, Wario looks exactly the same as he usually does. Very informative. Excessive image count + no reason for many of the images + no source for the images (which is implied as claiming ownership of the images) = remove many of the images. - A Link to the Past 04:28, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

3. Even thought I like option 1 better, this one show Wario greedy nature.
4. Gofer, who think the Mario Party 8 artwork stink.
5. Glitchman (talk · contribs)

• No voting was really needed, we use the current main artwork as main images anyway. --WarioLoaf (talk) 21:46, 9 June 2007 (EDT)

SSBB Pics

Does anyone think that we have too many SSBB Pics of Wario on this page? I think we should only have one pic of him in SSBB (Excluding Official Art). Anyone else think so? My Bloody Valentine

I would also like to point out my comment at Princess Daisy regarding Notable Screenshots sections. Because not all screenshots are notable. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 04:17, 22 August 2007 (EDT)

Mario and Wario, cousins?

When I fist joined I read the Wario article. It said that Wario and Mario were cousins, and it was confirmed by NOE. Now I can't see this info anymore. Was it true? Why did it got deleted? Shrooby ^{The Wario fan here wanna know.}

-sigh- Oh boy. Mario and Wario were cousins in a nintendo power comic. This may have been removed because the comics aren't canon, but Mario barely has an understandable canon, so who knows whats canon or not. Canon should just be shot from a cannon. |:(

GreenKoopa - Comments or questions? · Your face is a {{SUBST:pagename}}!

I think they MUST be related in SOME way. Look at them. They're dressed exactly the same except for colors. Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk)

Mario and Wario are not cousins! They are not related at all! Mario and Wario are just simple rivals. Wario was born in a lab accident.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jorge (talk).

Top Quote

Why has the top quote been changed to a much shorter one? Before the change, there was a much longer quote, which was even voted for on this talk page. The long one really tells more about Wario's character than the current one. --Grandy02 09:20, 3 June 2008 (EDT)

Hero or Villain?

I have one major question about this guy- is he good or evil? On one hand, he goes adventures to stop evil such as the Black Jewel in Wario World and Bowser in Super Mario 64 DS. On the other hand, he only did those things because of greed, and he has had antogonist roles in games such as Mario and Wario and Super Mario Land 2. Hmmmmmm.... I was just wondering what some other people think of him. WK

I believe the term used is "antihero". Meaning he sometimes can be a hero, and sometimes not. Phoenix Rider

It is true that Wario is one of Bowser's minion. But Wario is not as evil as Bowser. Also, Wario is not truly evil. He just think that he is. So he's not fulfilling his destiny.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jorge (talk).

Since when is Wario Bowser's minion ôO - Gabumon^(talk) 18:37, 15 October 2009 (EDT)

Plumber?

Has it ever been explicitly stated that Wario's a plumber? Or are people just assuming he is because he's Mario's "evil twin"-type rival, and dresses like Mario (wearing overalls does not make you a plumber). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall Wario ever doing anything plumbing-related... - Walkazo 19:59, 22 December 2008 (EST)

Not to the best of my knowledge. Perhaps people are thinking of his "appearance" in "Plumbers Academy," where a character slightly resembling him was going to school to be a plumber, but even if that was Wario, that doesn't prove that he IS a plumber. Stumpers! 18:59, 23 December 2008 (EST)

Okay, that's what I figured too (dunno why I didn't mention "Plumbers Academy" in my first post, though). Anyway, thanks for your imput! - Walkazo 19:27, 23 December 2008 (EST)

Image

The image that was shown as MP5 (until I corrected it) is actually from MP4. Could someone please get an image from MP5? Transcript 00:47, 8 February 2009 (EST)

quote change

The quote has been changed.... Was this decided anyware? I personally think the last one showed more about the character of wario, and this ones way too long. Should I change it back? Luigfreak Mai talk

Creator of Wario

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

As much as I admire the work of Gunpei Yokoi, but where was it stated that he created Wario (plus Daisy and Pit)? He was the producer of SML2, but this doesn't mean he created Wario, the Samus character was also not created by Yokoi, even if he produced the original Metroid. --Grandy02 09:13, 2 July 2009 (EDT)

I'm not sure if IGN is a reputable source, but according to them, Hiroji Kiyotake designed Wario (Second paragraph, second sentence). --Knife (talk) 16:42, 16 October 2009 (EDT)

In most cases IGN is reputable I think. But what you mentioned is already known for sure. In the article on Hiroji Kiyotake, the staff credits of WarioWare, Inc. are cited, which list his name under "Original Wario Design." However, my question is about the creator, who is not necessary also the character's designer. The article says Gunpei Yokoi, but I haven't found a reliable source. If there isn't any, we have to live with the fact that the name of the creator of Wario, Daisy and Pit has just not been confirmed so far. --Grandy02 17:15, 16 October 2009 (EDT)
