The '''Wario Car''' (or '''Wario's Jalopy'''<ref>Hodgson, David S. ''Mario Kart: Double Dash'' PRIMA's Official Strategy Guide. Pgs. 29, 36, 87, 118.</ref>) is a vehicle that [[Wario]] drives. It is purple in color, and its design is based on a {{wp|Cadillac Eldorado|1958 Cadillac Eldorado}}, while also bearing a resemblance to the {{wp|Batmobile}} from the {{wp|Batman|''Batman'' comics}}. It first appears in ''[[Wario Land 4]]''.

[[File:Wario Car WL4.png|frame|left|Sprite of the Wario Car from ''Wario Land 4'']]
In ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', [[Wario]] reads [[:File:WL4-Newspaper.png|an article]] about a [[Golden Pyramid|pyramid]] hidden deep in a Jungle, with a large amount of treasure hidden inside. Wario uses his Wario Car to cross a desert to reach the pyramid and to return with the treasure.
 
If the player completes certain difficulty modes, Wario will drive different vehicles in the ending credits.
 
*'''Normal Mode''': Wario Car
*'''Hard Mode''': Pick-up Truck
*'''Super Hard Mode''': Futuristic Hover-Car
 
An [[Toy Car|enemy]] resembling a small Wario driving the Wario Car with spikes on its front can also be seen in levels of [[Topaz Passage]].
 
====''Wario Land: Shake It!''====
The Wario Car has a minor appearance in the intro of ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', where Wario is seen sleeping in it.
 
===''Mario Party'' series===
[[File:MP10 Wario Board.png|thumb|left|The Wario Car in ''Mario Party 10'']]
The Wario Car only makes two small appearances in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. In ''[[Mario Party-e]]'', Wario drives the Wario Car in the minigame [[Wario's Bluff]]. In ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', a toy-like Wario Car can be seen on the southeast of the [[Wario Board]] in amiibo Party. It is simply a background element.
 
===''WarioWare'' series===
In the instruction booklet of ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', [[Dr. Crygor]] states that he created Wario's car.
 
The Wario Car has made various minor appearances in [[microgame]]s throughout the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. In ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!''{{'}}s [[Produce Pandemonium]], Wario is shown to be driving the car. In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]''{{'}}s [[Public Transportation]], a silhouette of Wario driving in his car appears in the second level of the microgame, chasing the rail cart. In the ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' version of the ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'' microgame [[Road Wario]], the driver and car from the original version are replaced by Wario and the Wario Car, respectively.
 
In ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', the Wario Car appears in [[18-Volt]]'s gallery, where he and [[13-Amp]] pose in front of and on top of it respectively.

In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', it is the signature [[kart]] of Wario and can fit two people. The Wario Car is a heavyweight [[kart]], meaning it is tough and speedy. However, in comparison with the other heavyweight karts, the Wario Car is rather light; its weight is tied with the [[Turbo Birdo]] and the [[Parade Kart]]. In terms of its actual stats, the Wario Car's top speed is only tied with the [[Green Fire]] and Parade Kart, despite of its four-star speed stat. It also shares the same acceleration as the Green Fire and [[Barrel Train]]. The Wario Car does not have a windshield like in ''Wario Land 4''. It is also the only heavyweight kart in the game that does not return in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.
 
The manual mentions that the Wario Car's top speed was 450 km/h (280 mph), consistent with its specifications in ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!''. However, for the Mario Kart Grand Prix, its engine had been turned down.
 
====''Mario Kart DS''====
In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', Wario has a new vehicle named the [[Brute]]. The appearance of this new kart resembles the Wario Car. However, it is black instead of purple, has a white checkered pattern in front as opposed to Wario's trademark mustache, and has regular black-wall tires instead of white-wall tires.
 
====''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' subseries====
[[File:MKAGP2CharSelect.png|thumb|left|The Wario Car in ''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2'']]
In ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'', the Wario Car makes an appearance as one of Wario's special items. It is functionally identical to the [[Super Star|Star]], but it also grants the cosmetic change of turning Wario's kart into the Wario Car temporarily. The Wario Car reverts back to a standard kart after the item's effects wear off. A variant of the item known as the Wario Car+ exists. This variant extends the duration of the invincibility.
 
In ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', Wario receives a special kart, which is the Wario Car. It has very high top speed and high weight, but abysmal acceleration. The aforementioned Wario Car item has been removed, as all characters now use the [[Super Star|Star]] as their invincibility item.

===Other appearances===

In ''[[miiwiki:Tomodachi Life|Tomodachi Life]]'', the Wario Car makes a minor cameo in the Promo (Rock & Roll) background in the Photo Studio.
