Wario Waft: Difference between revisions

The move is based on Wario's scatological personality and his general love for {{s|wikipedia|toilet humor}} as seen in numerous game manuals and promotional websites for many of his games, mainly for the Japanese market, as Western promotional materials for earlier ''Wario'' games would often reject the toilet humour synonymous with Wario's character in favor of a more masculine and tough portrayal, a similar treatment to that given to [[Kirby]]. One of the first instances concerning Wario and farting is the Japanese manual for ''{{s|mariowiki|Wario Land II}}'', where Wario mentions that his {{s|mariowiki|Hot Wario}} reaction was not produced "because his fart caught on fire". However, farting would not be part of the actual ''Wario'' games until the ''{{s|mariowiki|WarioWare: Smooth Moves}}'' microgame ''{{s|mariowiki|He Who Smelt It...}}'', where Wario is seen constantly farting, forcing the player to waft the air by waving the Wii Remote side-to-side to win the game. ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Strikers Charged}}'' released one year before ''Brawl'', and it includes Wario farting as his {{s|mariowiki|Super Ability}} in that game. Named "{{s|mariowiki|Gas Mask!}}", Wario will fart and release a trail of toxic green gas behind him. Wario Waft later makes an appearance as Wario's skill in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games}}'' and other installments.
