Wario-Man is the superhero alter-ego of Wario that appears in the WarioWare series. He assumes this form by eating a head of garlic, his favorite food. In the WarioWare games he appears in, he is always the last set of microgames the player plays. The microgames have no specific theme, but they all involve Wario in at least some way.

As Wario-Man, Wario has a pink jumpsuit with a garlic pattern on it, and a blue "W" on his stomach, similar to the "W" on his cap. Wario also wears a purple mask over his head, with a small "W" above the eyes, and has a purple cape and pink shoes.

History[]

WarioWare: Twisted![]

In WarioWare: Twisted!, while checking up on Dr. Crygor with the production of his game company's systems, Wario decides to sit on an assembly line and play a game. Because of this, he is unknowingly tossed into Dr. Crygor's Gravitator, which transforms him into Wario-Man. Once his set of microgames is completed, Wario-Man takes a power suit and flies into outer space. Meanwhile, Orbulon, 9-Volt, Mona, 18-Volt, and Kat and Ana take a cruise on Orbulon's new ship, the yellow Oinker. They see Wario-Man and mistake him as a menace, so they shoot at him, though Mona recognizes it's actually Wario in the suit. Wario-Man is shot down and falls into the sea near Crygor's lab, which turns him back to normal.

WarioWare: Touched![]

In WarioWare: Touched!, Wario feels sick one day, and since garlic is his personal cure-all, he decides to eat a head of it. However, he accidentally eats Nasty Garlic, and his stomach starts negatively reacting as it is infested with viruses. Thanks to the player, Wario's immune system purges all the viruses, and the reaction turns him into Wario-Man, and he goes on a rampage. Later, Wario-Man is hit by a train and falls into the sewers, turning him back to his normal form. However, he lands on the Sewer Guru, who retaliates by hitting him with a stick.

Super Smash Bros. series[]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[]

Wario-Man appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, serving as Wario's Final Smash. When activated, Wario eats a head of garlic, and transforms into Wario-Man. Wario-Man is significantly faster than his normal counterpart, and also has added attack power. Many of his moves also have added quirks, such as the majority of his moves having much better frame data, Corkscrew having an electric effect, Wario Bike travelling much faster, him rushing a far distance when using his shoulder dash forward smash, and being able to gain altitude by repeatedly using his up aerial. Wario-Man is also completely invincible, and cannot be damaged or launched by any means. After a short time, he will return back to his normal state.

Wario-Man also appears as a Sticker, which increases the power of arm and leg attacks by +18, though is only usable by Wario. Wario-Man also has a Trophy, which can be unlocked by beating All-Star Mode as Wario.

"Wario's Final Smash. He chomps on his favorite food, garlic, and transforms into Wario-Man! His mobility goes way up. His attack power doesn't change much, but he scampers like a cockroach, using moves like crazy! He can jump over buildings and use midair attacks to fly. Oh, and he doesn't flinch from attacks. Think twice about bringing out his motorcycle at this time..."

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U[]

Wario-Man returns in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, once again as Wario's Final Smash. Aside from being active for a slightly shorter time, his functionality is unchanged from Brawl. Wario-Man once again has a Trophy that can be unlocked by beating All-Star Mode as Wario, albeit it is exclusive to the Wii U version.

"With just a little nibble of garlic, humble everyman Wario transforms into the hero of justice, Wario-Man! He's...still not really all that strong, but he does get quite a bit faster, and he can launch foes farther too. And like any good hero, he has the ability to fly... by spamming attacks in midair. Just like they all do it, right?"

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[]

Wario-Man is Wario's Final Smash once more in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, although with the removal of transformation Final Smashes, this Final Smash is more cinematic. Once Wario transforms into Wario-Man, he will dash forward. If he hits an opponent, they are locked in a cinematic where Wario-Man begins beating them up, as multiple cartoon-styled onomatopoeia like "BOOM!" and "POW!" appear, reminiscent of those found in superhero comics. Wario-Man finishes with a Wario Waft-like attack, which launches the opponents away.

Wario-Man also appears as a Legend-class (★★★★) Primary Spirit. He is an Attack-type Spirit, and as such increases attack power when equipped. The Spirit battle is Wario, who starts the battle with a Final Smash, and his FS Meter charges quicker. The Wario-Man Spirit uses his artwork from WarioWare: Touched!.
