Wario is a very heavy, but very mobile character. From ''Brawl'', he maintains his incredible aerial mobility and the notorious kill move [[Wario Waft]]. These two attributes often lead to him being described as a "Fat {{PM|Jigglypuff}}," though the two are quite different. Wario lacks a strong [[recovery]], but his high [[weight]] makes it more difficult to knock him off the stage.

Wario lacks a strong [[recovery]], but his high [[weight]] makes it more difficult to knock him off the stage. His re-purposed [[Chomp]] combined with his aerial mobility gives him one of the best grabs in the game. His lack of a projectile or significant disjoint makes it somewhat difficult for him to deal with characters that have those traits. | ||

Wario has received both [[buff]]s and [[nerf]]s in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''Project M''; however, he has been significantly buffed overall. He has received a plethora of notable changes in his moveset to further aid him in the new metagame. It is also now much more reminiscent of his appearances in the various ''Wario Land'' games. | Wario has received both [[buff]]s and [[nerf]]s in the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''Project M''; however, he has been significantly buffed overall. He has received a plethora of notable changes in his moveset to further aid him in the new metagame. It is also now much more reminiscent of his appearances in the various ''Wario Land'' games. Many of his moves have decreased ending lag and many of his moves have either been changed completely or have seen heavy adjustments giving them a lot more utility with some examples including his down smash and his down aerial. [[Wario Waft]] also charges much faster and is a much stronger KO move when fully charged. His new side special Shoulder Bash is also a much better KO move than his previous side special [[Wario Bike]]. He also benefits to the changes to ''Project M'''s [[grab release]] mechanics more than any other character as he is no longer vulnerable to air release combos, kill confirms and [[chain grab]]s. | ||
Wario has received some nerfs however. His previously incredible aerial mobility has been slightly toned down and his recovery is much worse as his new side special Shoulder Bash covers far less horizontal distance than Wario Bike while covering no vertical distance and leaving him [[helpless]] and it has less utility on stage in addition. Wario Waft also covers much less vertical distance when fully charged in addition to dealing much less damage and the half charged variant is much weaker. Besides his half waft, some of Wario's other KO moves have also seen significant nerfs as his forward smash is weaker, has more ending lag and no longer has [[armor]] while his up aerial deals less damage and now has a sourspot making it more difficult to KO with. Lastly, his down throw is no longer a reliable deadly chain grab due to having much more base knockback as well as due the general changes to ''PM'''s DI system. | |||
Nevertheless, Wario is an even larger threat in ''Project M'''s meta and has seen even stronger tournament results. | |||

===Project M=== | |||
Wario is the only character that did not receive a single new costume in ''Project M''. Worth noting, however, his costumes changed order when compared to ''Brawl'', where his ''WarioWare'' costume is the "main" one. Instead, in ''Project M'' his ''Mario'' and ''Wario Land'' costume is featured more prominently, most likely to better represent the changes to his moveset that mainly take inspiration from that series in particular. | |||
