After all these platforming escapades, Wario, now sporting biker gear as opposed to a yellow and purple version of Mario's duds, notices the boom of the video game industry, and decides to take advantage of this craze by forming his own game company. Due to his short attention span, instead of creating a single game of reasonable length, he opts to make over two hundred games, each of them a mere five seconds long. Too short to even be called "minigames", they were dubbed "microgames". Finally, since he was too lazy to make all these games himself, he hires a handful of his fellow residents of Diamond City to do his work for him, among them the feisty multi-talented {{S|mariowiki|Mona}}, and the Nintendo superfan {{S|mariowiki|9-Volt}}. Thus, the ''{{S|mariowiki|WarioWare}}'' franchise was born. | After all these platforming escapades, Wario, now sporting biker gear as opposed to a yellow and purple version of Mario's duds, notices the boom of the video game industry, and decides to take advantage of this craze by forming his own game company.

Wario is also a frequent participant in several Mario spinoffs, including ''Mario Kart'', ''Mario Party'' and Mario sports games. In these titles, Wario is no longer evil, but acts as more of a bumbling comic relief character. His partner-in-crime bent on bothering Mario's brother, [[Luigi]], is soon revealed, being named [[Waluigi]]. Like [[Donkey Kong]], Wario also appeared as {{s|mariowiki|Baby Wario}} in ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Island DS}}'', where it is revealed that Wario did not have a true home to be returned to by the stork, which may explain his greedy personality and his jealousy towards Mario. However, Wario did team up with Mario and Luigi in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64 DS}}'', the DS remake of the iconic N64 launch title, where he made his only playable appearance in the ''Super Mario'' series. | Wario is also a frequent participant in several ''Mario'' spinoffs, including ''Mario Kart'', ''Mario Party'' and ''Mario'' sports games.

Due to Wario's popularity, he was one of the newcomers in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. Instead of being added as yet another ''Mario'' character, though, Wario was made a represenative of his own ''Wario'' franchise; however, most of his moveset was derived from his appearance in the ''WarioWare'' games, with only a few moves being taken from the ''Wario Land'' series. | Due to Wario's popularity, he was one of the newcomers in ''Super Smash Bros.
