“	Wario has unique attacks, like using his Wario Bike and releasing noxious gas. He can jump higher than normal by leaping from his bike, which comes in handy when recovering. For his Final Smash, he turns into Wario-Man and creates copies of himself for an all-out attack!	”

Wario (ワリオ, Wario) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was confirmed as a playable character on June 12th, 2018.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Wario seems to be mostly unchanged from his SSB4 appearance, though his moveset appears to have been slightly altered to be more reflective of the Wario Land series, as the series' iconic Dash Attack and Ground Pound are now referenced in his attacks.

Aesthetics

• As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Wario's model features a more subdued color scheme. Similarly to his appearance in Brawl, his clothing now features simple detailing.
• In his WarioWare outfit, Wario's dark blue elbow-length shirt is noticeably shorter, and is now only partially tucked into his pink jeans, leaving his belly slightly exposed (but not his navel).
• The buttons on Wario's default overalls are now gold like those of Mario and Luigi's overalls; in previous titles, they were silver, in line with Wario's appearances in the Wario Land and Mario series.
• Down taunt has a more comical, "poppier" animation.

Attributes

• Like all characters, Wario's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.

Ground Attacks

• Wario's forward tilt is now a heavy-handed slap.
• Wario has a new dash attack, resembling the Dash Attack from the Wario Land series.
• Dash attack knockback goes more vertically and horizontally making it easier to perform combos.
• Wario's up smash covers more horizontal range.

Aerial Attacks

• Wario's down aerial has a slight animation change, with him putting his arms around his head, his hands together in a diving pose.
• Wario's back aerial has received significantly less end lag.

Throws/other moves

• Wario's down throw animation appears a bit more forceful with Wario clenching his fists upon contact, making the move bear a closer resemblance to the Ground Pound from the Wario Land games.

Special Moves

• Wario Waft's fart cloud now produces significantly fewer particles.
• Wario now faces away from the screen when executing a fully-charged Wario Waft.
• Wario-Man is no longer a transformation. Instead, Wario dashes forward and if it connects, Wario-Man performs a cinematic comic book-style attack that launches enemies away at the end.
