'''Wario''' ({{ja|ワリオ|Wario}}, ''Wario'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Unveiled at [[E3]] 2006, Wario represents [[Wario (universe)|his own series]] instead of the {{uv|Mario}} universe, similarly to {{SSBB|Yoshi}}. Wario is voiced by Charles Martinet, who voices him in the ''Mario'' and ''Wario'' series, and also voices {{SSBB|Mario}} and {{SSBB|Luigi}}.
Unveiled at [[E3]] 2006, '''Wario''' ({{ja|ワリオ|Wario}}, ''Wario'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Similarly to {{SSBB|Yoshi}}, Wario represents [[Wario (universe)|his own series]] instead of the {{uv|Mario}} universe.
Wario is voiced by Charles Martinet, who voices him in the ''Mario'' and ''Wario'' series, and also voices {{SSBB|Mario}} and {{SSBB|Luigi}}.  


Wario ranks 10th on the tier list. Wario has unique attributes as a fighter, as he has a relatively short frame, high weight, and great [[air speed]], which allows him to survive longer periods of time but not be as vulnerable to combos as other heavyweights and move through the air and approach effectively. His very fast air speed, incredible air acceleration, and strong aerial attacks give him a great air game and grant him arguably the best [[air camp]]ing in the game. Additionally, he has a great recovery when all recovery options are present (his [[Wario Bike]] provides great vertical distance when hopped off of and a fully-charged [[Wario Waft]] is one of the farthest-reaching vertical recoveries), effective approach options using his air speed and [[DACUS]], and effective finishers, such as forward smash, up aerial, and his notorious half-charged Wario Waft. However, Wario suffers from major [[grab release]] problems; his air release sends him upward vertically unlike any other character, therefore leaving him vulnerable to almost any aerial attack with 20 or less frames of startup lag, as well as ground attacks with significant [[reach]]. Almost every character can grab-release-combo Wario into a string of aerial attacks, or even a KO ({{SSBB|King Dedede}} is particularly notable in this aspect). Wario's attacks also have mediocre range; his range makes him especially vulnerable to characters with good range such as {{SSBB|Marth}} and {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}. Additionally, Wario's recovery is among the worst in the game if multiple elements are absent from it, most notably his Wario Bike, as his [[Corkscrew]] provides very little vertical distance and can't [[edge sweetspot|sweetspot the edge]] (which is also the case with his [[midair jump]]). Regardless, Wario has very good matchups against most of the cast, possessing only four disadvantageous matchups and three [[counter (matchup)|counters]], and has achieved strong tournament results. Wario's ranking in all regions is superb, and is considered to be high tier.

|dsmashdesc=Wario spins on the ground, bashing foes with his head. The move gradually gets weaker as Wario spins arounds. The initial hit is fairly weak but it can KO {{SSBB|Mario}} at 153% from the middle of [[Final Destination]]. The move has fairly low startup lag at frame 8 but the entire move takes 78 frames to complete, which makes it incredibly unsafe. When shielded, the opponent has over a second to punish Wario, allowing even the slowest Smash attacks to punish Wario with some charge. Its range is also unspectacular, especially vertically. It is overall one of the worst down smashes in the game due to its extreme ending lag and its unspectacular power and Wario is almost always better off using forward smash.

The hitbox covers his whole body, even where he doesn't clap and has a slight horizontal disjoint. This is a great move to use on floaty characters with poor aerial defense. One of the best up aerials in the game and KOs at 120%.

In addition, all of his specials are boosted to the extreme, most notably his Wario Bike and Wario Waft.

===Matchups===
{{SSBBMatchupTable|wario=yes}}
Wario has strong matchups all around. He is countered by three characters, soft countered by one, has 8 even matchups, soft counters 14 characters, counters 8, and hard counters 2. Wario's superb air game and air speed allow him to have amazing mobility (especially for his weight class) and his aerials are all either fast, powerful, or both. His air game allows him to counter characters like {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}, {{SSBB|Lucario}}, and {{SSBB|Toon Link}}, beating all of them in the air. Wario also possesses a very powerful chain grab with his down throw which is particularly effective against characters such as {{SSBB|Wolf}} and {{SSBB|Bowser}}. However, characters with disjointed hitboxes, such as {{SSBB|Marth}} and {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} in particular outrange him on all fronts and can space him out for the entire game. {{SSBB|King Dedede}} can also shrug off his aerials (except for Uair) and can chaingrab him. {{SSBB|Peach}} also can float past Wario's aerials and she can combo his grab release into a guaranteed up smash negating one of her biggest weaknesses (her poor kill power). Even some lower tiered characters such as {{SSBB|Sheik}} can heavily abuse his aerial grab release. Overall, Wario has good matchups and is a threat to many characters.

Wario was initially ranked at 8th place in the high tier on the first ''Brawl'' tier list. However, as the metagame developed, {{Sm|Fiction}}, {{Sm|TheReflexWonder}}, and other dedicated Wario mains began achieving dominance at nationals, such as [[FAST 1]] and [[GENESIS]]; these players demonstrated the usefulness of his great aerial mobility and powerful KO options, and as a result, Wario quickly shot up the tier list, reaching as high as 3rd in June 2009. Although he was considered one of the best characters in the game at this point, his position at the top of the tier list did not last for long. {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}'s continuing prominence in competitive highlighted Wario's trouble versus the character due to his lack of disjointed reach, and many Wario mains, such as Fiction, became inactive in the scene or dropped Wario for other characters. Wario has since dropped down to 10th place in the high tier.
Wario was initially ranked at 8th place in the high tier on the first ''Brawl'' tier list. However, as the metagame developed, {{Sm|Fiction}}, {{Sm|TheReflexWonder}}, and other dedicated Wario mains began achieving dominance at nationals, such as [[FAST 1]] and [[GENESIS]]; these players demonstrated the usefulness of his great aerial mobility and powerful KO options, and as a result, Wario quickly shot up the tier list, reaching as high as 3rd in June 2009.

Wario has since dropped down to 10th place in the high tier.


While Wario is currently seen as a borderline top tier or a high tier in singles, he still remains an extremely powerful threat in doubles play. He is considered one of the best doubles characters in the game, because his aerial mobility serves as a powerful disruption tool, allowing him to easily maneuever among a field of four players. He also possesses two of the most reliable combo and KO setups in his down throw and forward throw, and his half-charged [[Wario Waft]] has become notorious for swinging the momentum of a match with an extremely early kill. Wario remained one of the most popular doubles picks throughout ''Brawl'''s competitive lifetime, and many players, most notably {{Sm|Ally}}, brought out a pocket Wario in doubles to great success. {{Sm|False}} and {{Sm|Nakat}}'s double Wario team in particular was feared as one of the strongest doubles teams in the United States in 2013 and 2014, with victories over {{Sm|ADHD}} and {{Sm|Nairo}} and a second place finish at [[SKTAR 2]].

Wario is the tertiary antagonist in The Subspace Emissary. After {{SSBB|Kirby}} does battle with [[Petey Piranha]] to free the princesses, one of the cages in which Petey holds {{SSBB|Peach}} and {{SSBB|Zelda}} will break, depending on which cage the player damaged more while battling Petey. The Princess who the player saves will escape with the player; the other will be injured and trapped beneath their wrecked cage. Wario drops heavily into the stadium with a [[Dark Cannon]]. Blasting the princess, Wario traps her in the form of a trophy and takes off with the trophy on his shoulder. He is revealed to be a member of the Subspace Army.

Wario then hunts down {{SSBB|Lucas}} in an abandoned zoo, dispatching [[Porky]] to corner and weaken him. Porky is defeated by Lucas with the help of {{SSBB|Ness}}, but Wario appears. He fires his Dark Cannon at Ness, who dodges all the shots. Annoyed, Wario decides to fire at Lucas instead, but Ness takes the hit to defend him.

Upon finding the trophy of {{SSBB|Luigi}}, Wario lets his guard down and picks up the trophy. Wario is ambushed by [[Waddle Dee]]s and then loses his trophies to {{SSBB|King Dedede}}, who steals his [[Cargo]]. Wario tracks Lucas and his partner, the {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}, down and fights them. Wario is defeated and left behind. When [[Galleom]]'s Subspace Bomb detonates, the area of Subspace expands and absorbs Wario's trophy. After being revived by Kirby, Wario confronts King Dedede later on the steps to the Great Maze seeking revenge on Dedede for stealing his Cargo way earlier. However, he is stunned to see Luigi and Ness beside him. King Dedede, Luigi and Ness point to the Great Maze to show it to Wario, who thinks that they are pointing to his nose (Wario was standing between King Dedede and the Great Maze), thus making him start to pick his nose. Realizing that he can't fight all of them, he instead drives [[Wario Bike|his bike]] to the top and aids the heroes in their battle against [[Tabuu]].

Although he works for the Subspace Army, he had no specific allegiance to {{SSBB|Master Hand}}, only following his orders because he enjoyed doing so.

*Wario's crawling animation and [[victory theme]] come from ''Wario Land: Shake It'', which actually came out after ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
*Wario's choppy animations are likely a reference to the ''WarioWare'' games, which also has a choppy animation style in most of its cutscenes.
*Due to his dodgy walking animation, if Wario is walking backwards on conveyor belts in custom stages, he cannot step onto another conveyor belt.

*Biker Wario's buttons show a W and the words "Made In" under it. This is a reference to the Japanese name for the ''WarioWare'' series, "''Made in Wario''". Also on the back of his biker outfit, it reads "Hurry Up!", both a reference to ''WarioWare'' microgames lasting only a few seconds and to the voice clip he shouts in ''Wario Land 4'' and ''WarioWare: Touched!''

**He is also the first character in the series to pose differently in his artwork when wearing an alternate costume that changes his outfit, preceding {{SSB4|Cloud}} and {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} in ''Smash 4'' and {{SSBU|Joker}} and {{SSBU|Sephiroth}} in ''Ultimate''.

*Oddly, Wario is silent whenever he performs his first jump, but grunts when he jumps as [[Wario-Man]].
*Interestingly, size changing items affect Wario's damage multiplier differently than with most other fighters. For an example, acquiring a [[Super Mushroom]] causes Wario's direct attacks to deal around 1.8x their normal damage, instead of the usual 1.56x. He shares this trait with Wario-Man, {{SSBB|Samus}}, {{SSBB|Fox}}, {{SSBB|Falco}}, {{SSBB|Wolf}}, {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}, {{SSBB|Squirtle}}, {{SSBB|Ivysaur}}, {{SSBB|Lucario}}, and {{SSBB|Snake}}.
