10 facts about Wario (in description Xp)

I little mini series I've wanted to start up for a long time.

 

This series is inspired by people on YouTube... (more specfically some guy who did some facts on Waluigi).

 

Hope ya enjoy :D Maybe you'll learn something!

 

#10 - According to the Wario World instruction manual, Wario weighs 308 pounds (140 kilograms), although he declares it's just his clothes ("I like to layer!"). His weight is even further boasted by being the 3rd heaviest character in Mario Kart DS, weighing more than even Donkey Kong.

 

#9 - Wario is known for his poor hygiene, since he often picks his own nose, and forgets to brush his teeth, which can be a problem, since he has a weakness to sweets; Wario frequently gets cavities from the sweets, which is shown in WarioWare Touched!.

 

#8 - Wario Land: Shake it! is well known for it's colorful atmostphere and cartoonish appearance. The entire game's 2D effect is entirely hand drawn.

 

#7 - Wario is a creation of the late game developer and Game Boy creator Gunpei Yokoi and designed by Hiroji Kiyotake. It is said that Wario was created to represent Nintendo R&D1's frustration with having to work on another developer's series.

 

#6 - Wario's menacing appearance is considered "scary" by most of the residents of the Mushroom Kingdom, though not as scary a Bowser. His face is frighting enough that even King Boo commented on it in Super Mario 64 DS.

 

#5 - Wario is not as unintelligent as he appears to be, since he makes WarioWare games and can fly a plane. In fact, he is actually very skilled at electronics, as he made a dimensional teleporter in just a few seconds. He also constructed the Mario Kart 64 race track Wario Stadium. Among the reasons many assume he is a bonehead is that he is hot-headed, clumsy, and sometimes forgets his common sense.

 

#4 - Despite his pudgey and fat appearance, Wario is quite athletic and wields superhuman strength that both exceeds that of Mario's and almost rivals that of Donkey Kong and Bowser. Too further support this, a full scan of Wario's body also shows his arms and legs are all muscle. Meaning he stuffs his fat elsewhere....

 

#3 - Wario's relationship with his partner in crime, Waluigi, is generally unknown. A number of sources state the duo are brothers, while some say they're cousins. Charles Martinet (who voices both characters) commented in belief that they are simply "two evil guys who found each other".

 

#2 - Wario is very aggressive, especially in the Mario Kart series, as he pushes racers off the road if in his way. In the Mario Party series, he apparently puts his greedy nature aside to play fair. In general sports, Wario is a braggart and a sore loser, even going as far as to claim that somebody is cheating when he loses.

 

#1 - In The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Plumbers Academy", an unnamed, overweight plumber wearing yellow and purple can be seen as a classmate of Mario and Luigi; this character's similarity to Wario is probably coincidental, as Wario's debut came three years after The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! was produced.

Speaking of which, I also plan on updating Wario and Waluigi.
