- “When Wario touches a particular enemy, he turns into a vampire! Wah, hah, hah, HAH! As Vampire Wario, he can change to bat form or vampire form. Each form gives Wario different abilities! Press the B Button to transform. To get back to normal you must... hmm, what could this vampire's weakness be?”
- —Wario Land 3
Vampire Wario[1] is one of Wario's many transformations in the Wario Land series of games, appearing in Wario Land 3.
It can be triggered by coming in contact with a Kobatto, causing Wario to become a vampire. He is then able to defeat any enemy upon contact. By pressing 
on the ground, he will switch between forms; the bat form is slower, but is able to fly rather than jump. To turn into his normal self, he must touch a clove of garlic, go into a patch of light, or fall into a pool or droplet of water (similar to Zombie Wario). The patches of light become obstacles for Vampire Wario, as he must avoid them when he does not wish to resume his adventure in his normal state. A similar transformation known as Vampire Bat Wario appears in Wario Land 4.
In Dr. Mario 64, if the player is playing as Dr. Mario, and has not lost at any point prior to Wario's second match in hard mode or greater, Wario will eat the Megavitamins and transform into a vampire. Defeating him in one battle will unlock Vampire Wario as playable character.

Trivia
- Wario's vampire form is somewhat ironic because he eats garlic, a food that repels vampires.
- The music heard while Wario sports his vampire form shares similar percussion and overall tone with the music that plays when inside Snide's HQ from Donkey Kong 64, although it is 8-bit because of the Game Boy Color hardware limitations.
- When Wario uses the Vampire Candy in Mario Party 8, he resembles his vampire form from Wario Land 3.
