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.

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.]]''.

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.
