Wario's history spans several decades and includes many appearances throughout the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Wario is the main character of the [[Wario (franchise)|''Wario'' franchise]], which encompasses two main series of games, the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'' series]] and the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. Wario was originally portrayed exclusively as a villain, as he makes his first appearance in the ''Super Mario'' franchise as the main antagonist of ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. He continues to be the villain in other games until ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'', which starts the ''Wario Land'' series of games that feature him as the protagonist and the playable character of each game. Wario is also featured in the ''WarioWare'' series, where he is the founder and owner of a game company, [[WarioWare, Inc.]] In both of these series, Wario is generally portrayed as an antihero, as his goals are in the interest of increasing his own wealth. | Wario's history spans several decades and includes many appearances throughout the greater [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].

Wario has also been playable in nearly every game in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] and [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], as well as the vast majority of ''Super Mario'' sports titles, such as the [[Mario Tennis (series)|''Mario Tennis'' series]] and [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]]. Wario has been involved in crossovers between the ''Super Mario'' franchise and other franchises; he is a playable character in every game in the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]], and he has been a fighter in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Wario has also made small appearances within games in the ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' and ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' franchises, as well as some cameo appearances in games outside of the ''Super Mario'' franchise. | Aside from games in the ''Wario'' franchise, Wario has been a playable character in one game in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] of platformers, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.

In the Japanese version of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', as well as in all versions of ''[[Mario Party]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', Wario is voiced by German translator [[Thomas Spindler]] and speaks two lines in German, | In the Japanese version of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', as well as in all versions of ''[[Mario Party]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', Wario is voiced by German translator [[Thomas Spindler]] and speaks two lines in German, the more notable of the two being "''So ein Mist!''" (German for "oh, crap!")<ref name="Thomas Spinder">"''This is 100% correct. Wario speaks German: he says (or rather, *I* say) 'So ein Mist!' The recording was done in a studio of the former Nintendo head office in Kyoto (not the new Nintendo premises in Kamitobaguchi), under the direction of Mr. Takashi Tezuka. [...] The concept behind Wario was that of a German character and those responsible for the voice-overs at Nintendo back then intended him to speak German. I hope that this resolves the issue once and for all."''"

According to a comment left by Spindler, Wario was envisioned to be German by Nintendo staff and he was directed to voice Wario accordingly<ref name="Thomas Spinder"></ref>. Despite this aspect of Wario's character having been ignored since the release of these games and [[Charles Martinet]] taking over the role, with Martinet's portrayal adopting a thick Italian accent similar to Mario and Luigi's, Wario's theme song in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' is in a style reminiscent of Germanic folk songs. Charles Martinet stated on November 6, 2020 that he did record a "Doh! I missed!" voice clip for Wario.<ref>[https://twitter.com/CharlesMartinet/status/1324696764721541121 Charles Martinet on "Doh!

Wario speaks with a strong Italian accent, but there are several notable differences between his speech and that of Mario and Luigi. For example, Wario is less likely to refer to himself in the third person, as evidenced by quotes like "I lost! To a buncha losers!". Additionally, Wario adding "-a" after contractions is much less common, such as when he says "It should've been called Wario Golf! You're gonna love it!" after the intro for the [[Nintendo 64|N64]] version of ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]''. However, there are still some instances where this is not the case, such as ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', where he says "It's-a me, Wario!" and "I'm-a gonna win!". Wario frequently speaks in full sentences; for example, he is heard saying "What, are you my caddy?" and "What is this dump?!" in the opening cutscenes of ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', respectively, "Have a rotten day!" to his enemies in ''[[Wario World]]'', and "Ha ha! Wario wins! Take that, losers!" in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, the inverse occurs: Wario's speech in these games primarily consists of grunts and yells, with only one meaningful word ("Yes!"). In the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series, Wario often speaks in full sentences that are conveyed by subtitles; ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' in particular gives Wario full voice acting for all of these lines. In some Japanese commercials, Wario was voiced by Chikao Otsuka. | Wario speaks with a strong Italian accent, but there are several notable differences between his speech and that of Mario and Luigi.

In Japanese material, Wario refers to himself using the honorific "ore-sama" (オレさま), typically used in Japanese entertainment to denote highly arrogant and self-confident characters. This is a consistent speaking pattern established since the original ''Wario Land'' and is reflected in the Japanese title for ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' | In Japanese material, Wario refers to himself using the honorific "ore-sama" (オレさま), typically used in Japanese entertainment to denote highly arrogant and self-confident characters.

According to the ''[[Wario World]]'' instruction booklet, Wario weighs 308 pounds (140 kilograms), although he claims that this is just because of his clothes. He has broad, muscular arms, a large belly, and his excess fat overlaps the openings of his overalls. The diagram of Wario's body from the booklet shows that his arms and legs are pure muscle, meaning that the rest of his fat must be stored elsewhere. | According to the ''[[Wario World]]'' instruction booklet, Wario weighs 308 pounds (140 kilograms), although he claims that this is just because of his clothes.
