The Story of Why Wario Hates Mario

I was always told as a kid that Wario was Mario and Luigi's evil brother.

[@captainspaceman420]

[@JeremyFinch42]

So Wario hates Mario, because at one point they were childhood friends and rivals, Wario growing jealous of Mario's fame. Funny part is, Waluigi doesn't have any beef with the Mario brothers, he just tags along with Wario. So Waluigi is just that kid who hangs out with the bully that picks on you and your sibling, but personally has nothing against you and even apologizes in private.

[@DaNintendude]

Waluigi actually DOES have beef against the Mario Bros. That's his whole gimmick. The difference is that it's completely unfounded. He didn't know the bros at all until he randomly showed up one day and introduced himself. Wario took him on as a sports partner, and the rest is history. Waluigi dedicates all of his time training to be better than the Mario Bros.

I had the same thought as you many times over the years. It's the same with Zelda too, Miyamoto steps away and we get Majora's Mask with no Hyrule/Ganon/Zelda. They need to do this more often. Same for Mario. It'd be neat if every game was about Mario going to some new land and encountering new enemies like in the Gameboy games.

[@TheGrumpiestPanda]

I think my favorite Wario fact is the following. One is his body, more specifically, the little anatomy sheet shown on Wario. Despite his massive gut, Wario is pure muscle. Meaning, Wario has a pretty perfect body for weight lifting, which in Wario World he puts that lifting to good use.

I don’t know if it’s true but I have heard that Mario Land 2 actually retconned Tatanga to have been hired by Wario to kidnap Daisy to use that as a distraction to steal the 6 golden coins. Edit: I looked it up and this isn’t canon. I like the idea anyway.

[@davisbowe8668]

I mean, it makes sense considering that Tatanga is a boss in SML2.

Which lead to him creating Warioware. Also, some fans theorized that Mona from Warioware is a descendant of Princess Shokora, which is why despite his personality, she feels like Wario is still good deep down.

[@The_Texorcist]

I always wanted there to be a twist to the whole Mario/Wario backstory. Have it that during the events of yoshi’s island that Mario and Wario were switched accidentally by the stork. That Wario was meant to be a hero and have the heroes journey but because of a dumb stork he was given a family and life that lead this great hope into a life of villainy and upon finding Mario had lived a life rightfully his that lead to a never ending hunger for revenge. That would have been perfect motivation for him to take over Mario land.

[@spuriousgeorge7233]

He should also be blue and Will Ferrell should be his voice actor

[@DaNintendude]

The idea of Wario being German was always cool, but I think it was the best choice to make him Italian in the long run. Wario was born in the Mushroom Kingdom, just like the Mario Bros. It's entirely possible that Wario even lived in the same village that Mario did when Mario was a kid. So having all of the humans from that area have Italian accents just makes sense. I like to headcanon that Wario moved to New Donk City around the same time Mario's family did. And then at some point Wario met Jimmy T. At another point, Wario moved back to the Mushroom Kingdom. He got back in touch with Mario eventually, tried to steal his castle, and then the Wario Land games happened. Wario's Castle was destroyed at the end of Wario's Woods (SNES), and he used his remaining money to move to Diamond City, where he made all his new friends. Wario Land 4, Master of Disguise, and Wario Land: Shake It occur after he has already moved to Diamond City.

[@geschnitztekiste4111]

I think it’s funnier if he was German but puts on an Italian accent to mess with Mario since he already kinda stole his wardrobe

[@timeagenty4560]

Wario Land: Shake It! is one of my favorite games growing up. It gave a relative latecomer like me to the Wario Party a distilled essence of what Wario is all about: An absolute unit scouring the land for treasure, giving zero F's about anything else, doing so in a way that's somehow simultaneously both wacky and badass. To say nothing about that game's amazing art style and soundtrack. Makes it all the more tragic there hasn't been a new Wario Land in Years.

With the Wario solo games being so odd, I always preferred the interpretation that "Wario Land" or "Wario World" was a parallel reality to the Mushroom Kingdom where everyone's morals were subverted. Bad guys were good, good guys were bad and all that. It makes for a fun way of imagining other Wario-esque incarnations of the cast and makes enough sense given how the Warp Pipes seem capable of taking you anywhere in the multiverse.

I found it to be quite peculiar how, for a character who desperately Hates Mario, Wario has no problem joining the rosters of Mario Party, Kart, or any other spin-off. It makes me think that despite all he's been through, this greedy Doppelganger has a soft spot for The Mushroom Kingdom gang, even if he doesn't act friendly. And yes, I know Bowser also joins Mario in these events despite being a Villain, but I found Wario's inclusion to be more interesting since he and Waluigi are paired up with the heroes in Super Mario Party, while Bowser and his troops have their own half of the roster.

As a fan of wario from the start(wario is the earliest I can remember being so immersed in a character role while gaming, I was the greediest little shit when I played wario games) I really don't like how sakurai has essentially reduced wario to and popularised him as a fart joke. Now wario being a bit gross was always a part of his character cause he was, you know, a bad guy a bad Mario so yeah he was a bit uglier, nastier, smellier, meaner he was obviously a not good dude. But he was also powerful and a "gets shit done" kinda guy who would get foiled by karma because we all should good and not bad like wario ok kids how do you look at that and come up with rocket power farts? And on top of that exclude the one move that the guy is actually know for being the shoulder charge? Sakurai is talented guy no doubt but on certain matters I believe he's full of shit himself.

[@Diwasho]

WarioWare was a mistake. That's where Wario's characterization was overhauled, down to his design and personality traits, and naturally Sakurai used that version of him because it's the one that was the most relevant one at the time. The real tragedy is that Wario didn't make his Smash debut in Melee despite gaining an abundance of fan votes, if he did the Wario Land version of him would be still the most relevant one and it would have cemented him as a character, relegating the WW version to a potential alt costume in later installments instead of making it his primary one.

[@jive238]

@Sho I love warioware but i do acknowledge there was some change that happened around warioware as that's when things get abstract weird with more slap stick and potty humour but that was more reflective of the micro games than the characters(ignoring crygor drinking intestine blasting chemicals the lunatic) Wario was still the greedy piece of shit I love him to be throughout. Dude came at us selling 5 second games that were probably made in 5 minutes about shit like picking your nose and the whole world bought it in droves while he wahahahas all the way to the bank, you fools you got scammed the joke is on all of us, can you expect less of the bad Mario? Even to the end Wario is fully prepared to skip town and not pay his "friends" for the 1 hour game jam that was warioware's creation and of course karma gets him so don't be a bad man like wario kids. So while he wasn't treasure hunting and man handling whimps like a boss warioware never betrayed the character of wario as he was a greedy piece o shit from start to finish, the micro games might have some potty humor in them but we're the suckers that bought them and make wario rich.

Thank you for caring about his Wental Health 🗿👌 Edit: my favorite thing about wario is the sheer amount of weird shit about him available in Canon sources. It is Canon that: -wario himself doesn't know how old he is because his mom never threw him a birthday party -his mom is the reason for his money complex. When he left home he stuffed her in a cabinet -he either used to, or currently, farms. He has a tractor and pet chicken named Hen Also something interesting to think about. If wario and Mario are opposite, we can learn some interesting things. Wario is selfish and hoards treasure. Mario is selfless and spends his money. But, while Wario's money goes to buying himself assets to use for his company (he tries to steal the money for himself but eventually ends up paying his employees anyway) Mario spends the money on...himself. not once do we see Mario use his money for anything other than advancing his own goals. Another thing is Mario treats Luigi kind of like shit and Luigi is obviously upset by this, but Wario and Waluigi have more of a traditional brotherly relationship where they fight each other but also care for each other. Wario is actively self-conscious and, while he has narcissistic tendencies, kind of sells himself out with jokes and stuff indicating his inner insecurity and deeper thoughts. Mario never has that kind of appeal. We never know his intentions. We never know what Mario is thinking or planning. He just. Does. He acts and reacts. Wario "practices being evil" and tries really hard to be a super bad dude I promise he's so evil and cunning, but Mario never tries to cover up. Anything. It's really odd.

Underrated comment, if only for your mention of "Wental Health" alone. Also, other great stuff under that, too.

Made my day better with a good laugh at 13:42 lol holy crap that was funny.😅

[@angieangie4419]

I loved playing Wario land 4 and saving Princess Shokora, such a cute story line. And yep just like you, I felt cooler bc it was the villain essentially being a hero lol

[@demontamerbf18]

For some reason I was sure Wario Land was a prequel to Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, with Mario stealing the castle Wario gets in Wario Land, I'm so glad this wasn't the case, I really hate the idea of Mario being evil, he can be mischievous but not evil imo. Great video, reminded me of WarioWare once again, I have no idea how I found out about that series for the first time but now it's one of my favorite franchises ever, I found it when I was already grown up too so no childhood nostalgia making me love it.

17:55 “So Ein Mist” I feel like the Germans missed an opportunity (no pun there) to translate it to “So I Missed”

6:44 WHY are you stealing babies??

[@66LordLoss66]

A game that gives you different endings based on how rich you are, incentivising the player to be greedy and collect all the coins they can, is so on-brand for a Wario game.

[@trainboy04asmallfrye20]

Mario and Wario’s rivalry reminds me of Duck and Diesel’s rivalry from Thomas and Friends

[@CrocvsGator]

I really think Captain Syrup is underutilized. Like with her pirate/mad scientist/rival gimmick, I feel she could be put in a lot of roles and have it still fit (I know it's Wario so anything goes, but I hope I got my point across)

[@skulliothepumpkin535]

Isn’t he also Mario’s cousin? Wasn’t that stated in one of the Japanese mangas?

[@xavierreborn679]

Dude just found your channel yesterday and I'm loving stuff like this bro ✊💯💯✊ keep going On brother

[@tamaskarsai2072]

11:10 so you have wanda vision here

Do Waluigi (Real) and Rosalina next.

[@P-P-Panda]

[@screechingtoad2683]

5:57 what is that lamp/shoe looking thing Wario threw???

[@transcendentsacredcourage]

That is his shoe.

I have to wonder why the Wario Land series just kinda...stopped. If I recall correctly, the last game in the series was all the way back in 2008, as I said when talking about Captain Syrup. Sure, Wario has definitely found his footing as a game developer all these years later, but the games do show that he still goes on adventures every now and then. Just look at Smooth Moves, where the story begins with him trying to find a Wii Remote in a temple and run from a giant boulder, Indiana Jones style. Or look at Warioware Gold, where he finds the olden, golden toilet, the same one he tries to auction for money as part of his tournament, AND puts on to power up with during the finale. He's got a more modest job, but he's definitely still a lot more of a villain protagonist and an adventurer. So, why don't we get a new Wario Land game? Oh, and also, I have never heard of Welcome to Greedville before. I guess Wario either moved out of Greedville after all of his adventures, when he settled into Diamond City?
