The Wario Bike is a motorcycle constructed by Dr. Crygor for Wario. The bike first appeared in WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania. Besides the WarioWare series, the Wario Bike has also made notable appearances outside of these games.
History
WarioWare series
Throughout the WarioWare series, the Wario Bike has made various appearances. Wario usually gets around in Diamond City with the Wario Bike and likes to drive fast. When Wario doesn't use it, the Wario Bike is usually put in the garage at Wario's House. The very first appearance of the motorcycle took place in WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania. After Wario watched a report on television about a successful video game, he got the idea of making his own game. So Wario put on his biker outfit, mounted his bike and took off in order to get a laptop.
The Wario Bike is also featured in a microgame ("Unexcite Bike") and a "full" mini-game "(Wario Bike)."
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The Wario Bike (previously known as the Wario Chopper on the official site) is Wario's side special move in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. With this move, he will ride his motorcycle, and smash into any player in the way, damaging them. If the player tilts the Control Stick in the opposite direction Wario is facing, he will do a 180 degree turn. In order to jump off of it, the player must press any attack button. Only one motorcycle will be on the screen at one time, allowing Wario to get back on it if he falls off. The motorcycle can be stopped by other characters with a timed hit.
When Wario jumps off the bike, Wario can pick up the bike and use it as an item that can be thrown around. The bike can also be destroyed into pieces. The pieces, like the pieces of a Power Suit, can be tossed around. If Wario-Man would ride this bike, the transformation of Wario will result in the bike driving far too fast, risking a possible KO. However, if Wario-Man rides the bike on the road of Big Blue, he will keep up with the cars for a brief time.
Also, if two Warios are playing at the same time, if one jumps off the Wario bike the other can pick it up.
Mario Kart series
Mario Kart Wii
The Wario Bike also makes an appearance in Mario Kart Wii, as a bike for large characters. Depending on the character, the color scheme changes.
The Wario Bike features good acceleration and handling. It's also the heaviest bike in the game. However, its speed is average, but its drifting is rather low. The kart counterpart for this bike is the Offroader.

Trivia
- In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Wario Bike had flames painted on certain sections. The flame paintings were not seen on any other game.
- In Mario Kart Wii, the Wario Bike has the exact same weight as the Flame Flyer. The two vehicles also have the exact same mini-turbo stat.
- The Wario Bike is one of six vehicles in Mario Kart Wii to go through a design change other than a palette-swap; the others being the Baby Booster, Bowser Bike, Twinkle Star, Torpedo, and Phantom. In this case, Rosalina's Wario Bike is thinner in appearance, has shorter exhaust pipes, and the foot pedestals are placed further from the driver. Also, Bowser's Wario Bike and Dry Bowser's Wario Bike have their handles positioned differently from the other Wario Bikes.
- In Mario Party 4, there's a similar bike named Wario's Motorbike found at Wario Room.
