Wario Waft
The Wario Waft is Wario's Down Special Move. It becomes more powerful as time passes, ranging from a tiny "poot" to a massive explosion (which has high knockback and damage). It was first revealed in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's first trailer, where the move created a large explosion, complete with a mushroom cloud completely different to the current one, making belive the people that this move was going to be his Final Smash. It seems that the move cannot have such power in the actual game. When the attack is fully charged, Wario will flash orange and his belly will inflate. This takes almost 2 full minutes(about 1 minute and 49 seconds).
A fully charged Wario Waft from normal Wario does 40% of damage. He also flies into the air a distance that is nearly unrivaled by any other recovery move. However, it's possible to self-destruct if Wario flies off the top of the Blast Line from performing this move fully charged. While he's Wario-Man, the Wario Waft can do 50% of damage if fully charged, and even if it isn't charged up, it has unimaginable power, and is a One-Hit KO. If Wario turns into Wario-Man and eats a Super Mushroom during a Giant Special Brawl, a fully charged Wario Waft is capable of dealing 140% damage.
A small fart deals 11% with minor knockback and a more charged but not fully charged Wario Waft deals 23% with considerable knockback, enough to KO most high damage opponents.
Wario's weakest "poot" knocks foes off their feet. If performed as Wario-Man, it stuns opponents.
Origin
The move is loosely based on a minigame in WarioWare: Smooth Moves where Wario farts briefly but it doesn't create an explosion. Wario also farts in the game Super Mario Strikers Charged as his special move. However, Mario Strikers Charged was announced after Brawl yet released a year before Brawl was released. It's possible that his move in Mario Strikers Charged comes from this game, except the gas in this game is green and not exactly an explosion.

Trivia
- This is why Brawl has a Crude Humor rating.
- Because in the trailer, the Wario's butt shines, the sky gets in a dark tone and it explodes in a big mushroom form, some people belived this was going to be the Wario's Final Smash. Maybe it was planned for to be one before they decide to made it the Down Special Move to Wario, and made Wario-Man his real Final Smash.
