'''Wario-Man''' ({{ja|ワリオマン|Warioman}}, ''Warioman'') is [[Wario]]'s [[Final Smash]] which has him transform into Wario-Man, his costumed alter-ego from ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare: Twisted!}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare: Touched!}}'', by eating bad garlic. In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', Wario-Man can be freely controlled, moving and attacking normally with a moveset similar to Wario's. In ''Ultimate'', the player initiates a rush forward, which can trap opponents and trigger a single flurry of blows with comical effects before the Final Smash ends.

In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', Wario takes a bite of garlic and turns into Wario-Man while laughing. The transformation is somewhat similar to [[Giga Bowser (Final Smash)|Bowser's]]. During the final smash, all of his moves are upgraded greatly, being extremely fast and strong and have decreased ending lag. All of his throws are able to KO opponents above 70%. Wario-Man's attacks deal more damage and knockback, and he's virtually [[invincible]], which even includes being immune to [[footstool]] jumps. However, he can still be affected by random [[trip]]ping (in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' only), take damage by [[Chomp|eating]] explosive items or going [[hoop damage|off-screen]], and be affected by size changing items, such as the [[Super Mushroom]] and [[Poison Mushroom]]. Also, Wario-Man is unaffected by [[Metal Box]]es.

Wario-Man's mobility is also increased greatly, enabling him to [[dash|run]] just as fast as [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], and he has the highest [[air speed]] of any fighter in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', Wario-Man's mobility remains mostly unchanged, but his status as the fighter with the fastest air speed is given to [[Giga Mac]] instead.

[[Wario Waft]] charges faster, and a fully charged Wario Waft from Wario-Man can deal [[one-hit KO]]s under normal circumstances, though the half charge one is unaffected. His [[Wario Bike|bike]] becomes so fast that it can outrun the cars in [[Big Blue]], and must be jumped off almost immediately to avoid [[self destruct]]ing on smaller stages.

The transformation lasts for 16 seconds in ''Brawl'' and 12 seconds in ''SSB4''.

In ''Ultimate'', the move has Wario charge forward after eating the garlic. If the rush connects, he turns into Wario-Man and unleashes a barrage of attacks accompanied by comical text and effects, ending with a fart that launches the trapped opponents. The ''Ultimate'' version of Wario-Man joins all former "transformed moveset" Final Smashes (such as [[Giga Bowser]] and [[Giga Mac]]) in losing its player-controlled moveset in favor of a quick attack that returns players more promptly to normal gameplay.

==Origin==

[[File:WarioManOrigin.png|thumbnail|right|Wario-Man in ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare: Touched!}}'' ]]

Wario-Man originates from ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare: Twisted!}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare: Touched!}}'', appearing as the alter-ego for Wario. In both games, once the player has beaten all of the microgame compilations from the other characters, the player unlocks Wario-Man's {{s|mariowiki|microgame}} compilation. In ''WarioWare: Twisted'', Wario transforms into Wario-Man after falling into {{s|mariowiki|Dr. Crygor}}'s invention: the Gravitator while in ''WarioWare: Touched!'' Wario transforms after consuming a rotten piece of garlic. This "new character" then appears on the main menu with a brand new set of microgames available to attempt. Wario-Man's games were the last of its kind both times and were more challenging than the preceding games.

 

In the cutscenes before and after his microgames, Wario-Man exhibits some kind of superhuman abilities; however, his increases in speed, strength and the capability of flight in ''Smash'' is more likely derived from typical superhero/super-villain powers in general comic books and other media.

*{{buff|Wario-Man is invincible only being vulnerable to random tripping and eating explosive items with Chomp.}}

*{{buff|Wario-Man [[dash]]es dramatically faster (1.35 → 3.5) now having the same run speed as {{SSBB|Sonic}}.}}

*{{change|Wario-Man is heavier (107 → 130) though this has no real impact due to him being invincible.}}

*{{buff|All of Wario-Man's grounded attacks have drastically decreased end lag allowing them to easily combo into each other.}}

*{{buff|[[Forward tilt]] deals more damage (14%/13%/12% → 17%/16%/15%) and no longer has less-damaging sourspots.}}

*{{buff|[[Up tilt]] deals more damage (10%/6% → 15%/12%) and has a larger hitbox.}}

*{{buff|[[Down tilt]] deals more damage (8% → 9%) and is now an extremely powerful [[semi-spike]] making it excellent for edgeguarding.}}

*{{nerf|[[Forward smash]] deals less damage (19% → 16%).}}

*{{buff|[[Up smash]] deals more damage (15% → 25%) and has a vacuum effect sucking nearby opponents into the move.}}

*{{buff|[[Down smash]] deals more damage and now deals consistent damage (13%/10%/5% → 18%).}}

*{{buff|All of Wario-Man's aerials have drastically decreased end lag allowing them to easily combo into each other.}}

*{{buff|All of Wario-Man's aerials except [[down aerial]] now grant Wario-Man extra height effectively giving him an infinite recovery.}}

*{{buff|[[Neutral aerial]] deals more damage (9% (clean), 4% (late) → 15%/11%).}}

*{{buff|[[Forward aerial]] deals more damage (7% (clean), 4% (late) → 15%/11%) and is much more effective as a [[wall of pain]] due to Wario-Man's higher air speed and the fact that forward aerial now gives Wario-Man extra height and combos into itself extremely easily.}}

*{{buff|[[Back aerial]] deals more damage (10% → 15%/11%) and now has a sourspot giving the move a longer duration. It is also much more effective as a wall of pain.}}

*{{buff|[[Up aerial]] deals slightly more damage (17% → 18%) and combos into itself extremely easily making it an incredible damage racking tool.}}

*{{nerf|Down aerial no longer [[auto cancel]]s in a [[short hop]] and Wario-Man has less control while using it.}}

*{{buff|All of Wario-Man's throws deal more damage (12% → 15% (forward), 9% → 17% (back), 12% → 17% (up), 7% → 17% (down)) and knockback. All throws except [[down throw]] can now easily kill under 100%.}}

*{{change|Down throw is now a powerful meteor smash. This improves its edgeguarding potential and puts opponents into tech situations but removes its ability to [[chaingrab]].}}

*{{buff|[[Chomp]]’s throw deals more damage (5% → 10%).}}

*{{nerf|Wario Bike's higher speed however makes it easier to [[self destruct]] with it. It also means that Wario-Man can't really make use of wheelies or intentionally break the bike and use tires as projectiles.}}

*{{buff|Fully charged [[Wario Waft]] deals more damage (40% → 50%) and now has much more knockback making it an [[OHKO]]. Wario Waft also charges faster.}}

 

Wario-Man received a mix of buffs and nerfs from ''Brawl'' to ''Smash 4'' but was nerfed overall.  

*{{buff|Dash attacks deals more damage (12% → 14%).}}  

*{{nerf|New up smash deals less damage (25% → 20%) and it no longer sucks opponents into it. The removal of [[DACUS]] hinders its approach potential.}}  

===Aerial attacks===  

*{{buff|Neutral and forward aerials deal more damage (15%/11% → 16%/12% (neutral), 16%/11% (forward).}}  

*{{change|Forward and back throws animations have been swapped.}}

| || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|2}} (hits 1-5), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|15}} (hit 6) || Head grows as Wario-Man spins, hitting multiple times with the head. Best used for [[DACUS]] and has a [[vacuum]] effect.

| || — ||  

| || 15% || Wario-Man spins the foe around thrice and throws him/her forward. Identical to {{SSBB|Mario}} and {{SSBB|Luigi}}'s back throw, except the spun opponent doesn't hurt other foes. Based on the [[mariowiki:Wild_Swing-Ding|Wild Swing-Ding]] seen in ''Wario World''.

Charges extremely faster, with the uncharged fart stunning opponents, and the fully charged version being a one-hit KO.  

| || 9% || Wario-Man stabs his index finger at the ground in front of him. Can be done in quick succession, along with the other two tilts.  

| || 15% || Wario-Man claps above his head with hands and feet. Can be interrupted almost immediately after the hitbox appears, making it easily spammable. Constantly using this move will make him slowly fly upwards.

;Wario-Man

:''Wario's Final Smash. He chomps on his favorite food, garlic, and transforms into Wario-Man! His mobility goes way up. His attack power doesn't change much, but he scampers like a cockroach, using moves like crazy! He can jump over buildings and use midair attacks to fly. Oh, and he doesn't flinch from attacks. Think twice about bringing out his motorcycle at this time...''
