Wario in Super Smash Bros. 4
Universe	Wario
Other playable appearance	in Brawl
Availability	Unlockable
Final Smash	Wario-Man

Wario returns as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4. He was officially confirmed on October 3rd, 2014 alongside Ness and Falco, but was leaked beforehand on September 11th by a leaker's Twitch stream. This time around, he is unlockable, as opposed to being available from the start in Brawl.

His appearance is largely the same, except with his chin being more pronounced, and the colors being overall brighter, more akin to the WarioWare series.

He retains his biker outfit from the WarioWare series, as well as his overalls from the Mario games. He is voiced by Charles Martinet, who voices the character in all but a few of his appearances, as well as Mario, Luigi, and Waluigi, using the same voice clips from Brawl.

How To Unlock

Complete one of the following:

• Clear 100-Man Smash.
• Play 30 VS Matches.

Wario must then be fought on Wario Ware, Inc.. Defeating him will unlock both him and the stage.

Changes from Brawl

• Wario dashes faster.
• Forward tilt is sped up.
• Wario's forward smash is no longer the shoulder bash, and instead is a backhanded punch similar to the old Mario and Luigi's foward smash in SSB64, which has more range and knockback.
  • However, it is slower, lacks the launch resistance and transcendent priority of his old forward smash.
• Down smash has less endlag.
• Down tilt is sped up.
• Wario's up-smash is replaced with a head butt similar to Mario, Luigi and Dr. Mario's, which is stronger.
• Wario can heal himself by 1% by eating projectiles with Chomp, including his bike.
  • Eating items with Chomp now increases Wario Waft's charge.
• Wario Bike's wheels cannot be used as projectiles when the bike is destroyed, and disappear upon contact with the ground.
  • However, Wario can use Chomp to eat the wheels and recover health before they land.
• Down aerial has more ending lag.
• Wario's animations are generally more fluid than in Brawl.
• Wario's back and forward throws from Brawl have swapped places.
• Unlike his Brawl incarnation, where only his stomach bulged out from under his shirt slightly, Wario now physically bulges when his Wario Waft is charging, to the point where his frame actually becomes wider. It is unknown if this change affects his movement however.
• Wario's Chomp move now faces slightly more to the screen, unlike the previous installment, where he faces straight.
• Wario's Wario Waft now has a cartoonish style, where in Brawl, it has a more realistic style.
• Wario now never falls off his bike.

Like a number of other characters in the games, Wario's facial expressions are much more exaggerated than before. One example of this is that he now scowls when performing an attack.

Taunts

Up: Belly-laughs so hard, his jaw unhinges, so he has to manually put it back with his hands.

Side:Wario wiggles his butt at the screen with his hands extended in each direction and he teasingly snickers.

Down: Wario faces the screen, holds up three fingers with his left hand that seem to form a "W" for Wario and then does the same with his right hand after putting away his left hand. Then, he holds them both out at the same time. Wario utters "Wah!" three times for each time he holds up a hand, the third "Wah!" having the most enthusiasm.

While riding Wario Bike (in any direction): Wario laughs and faces to his right and does his signature "W" sign at the screen with both hands and then picks his nose with his left hand.

Idle poses

• Crosses his arms, fists clenched.
• Scratches his bottom.

On-Screen Appearance

Crashes in sideways on his bike while laughing, jumps off and his bike explodes while he dusts himself off.

Victory Fanfare

A shortened remix to the theme of the first stage of Wario Land: Shake It!.

Victory poses

• He does a donut on his bike, makes a "W" sign with his hand, saying "Yes!", then pulls on his mustache and makes the "W" sign again, process repeats.
• He laughs gloatingly and then falls over, rolling on his back.
• Pats his belly, releasing a fart that after smelling, results in an "Oooh..." from Wario.

Trophies

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS trophy descriptions

Wario

NA: A living embodiment of gross, this villain hates Mario and loves money. He claims to have known Mario since childhood, but who can tell if that's true? In Smash Bros., he's a seriously agile heavyweight fighter. He can store up his trademark Wario Waft for explosive results. Did I mention he's gross?

PAL: If someone who hated Mario tried to draw an ugly version of him, it'd probably end up looking just like Wario. The greedy villain claims they used to be childhood friends, though... In this game, he's a heavy fighter with heavy-hitting attacks. The longer you go without using his Wario Waft move, the more explosive it'll be when you..."let it out".

Wario (Alt.)

NA: With his Chomp special, Wario can wolf down almost anything! Hold the button, and he'll keep his mouth open. Also, if you gobble up healing items, they'll work better! When using his Wario Bike side special, you can jump off, pick it up, and throw it. If you take one thing away from this, it's JUMP OFF. Don't ride off the stage.

Wario + Bruiser (NA)/Wario + Growlster (PAL)

NA: For most racers the finish line is the goal, but if you combine Wario with this bad boy, the game takes on a whole new meaning. And that meaning is to crash into everyone else. Behind the wheel of the Bruiser, Wario turns Mario Kart into a contact sport.

PAL: Even in a race for first place, it's possible to sort of ignore the whole winning thing and just focus on bashing into the other racers instead. Wario's that kind of guy, so obviously he'd choose a frame like the Growlster and use it to ram other drivers off the road. It's like he thinks Mario Kart is a combat sport or something!

Trivia

• Wario is the only character that debuted as a starter to be made unlockable in a later game.
• He is one of two characters to have fewer palette swaps in SSB4 than in Brawl (going from 12 options to 8 options), the other being Olimar (if one leaves Alph out).
• With the removal of his former forward smash, the Shoulder Bash, Wario's moveset in SSB4 is entirely based on WarioWare excepted his custom move Inhaling Chomp which is similar to Hyper Suction from Wario World.
• Wario's All-Star trophy slightly resembles his Super Mario 64 DS artwork.
