Yeah wario ware golds in that wonderfully rough spot of being built around highlighting the best of ds functionality based minigame.

[@Rubberman202]

Wario is my favorite video game character of all time. For one, I like his design; I have an affinity for big, burly characters, especially goofy-looking ones, and that's Wario in a nutshell. I also really like how he's basically Mario but with his features exaggerated, to emphasize how he's the "anti-Mario". For another, I like how Wairo and his games are allowed to be weird and unique in ways Mario games typically aren't allowed to be. Mario has had some weird, even crazy titles, but those are usually reserved for spin-offs (or at least they used to be), while Wario's games seem to be weird by default. The free boundaries when it comes to what Wario is or "supposed to be" allows for a lot of creativity and imaginative stuff, in regards to the gameplay, visuals, music, and level design. But the thing I love and appreciate most about Wario is that he's an incredibly versatile character. This video opens up with the seeming "contradiction" of Wario being very much like Mario only to suddenly be seen as a biker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, from the perspective of someone only familiar with Wario through Mario spin-offs, and then goes into how his character "fluctuates" depending on the game, but honestly, with the possible exception of his role in Subspace Emissary, Wario has never really felt out-of-character in any of his appearances. Over time, his personality has been built up and refined to emphasis two things: greed and selfishness. What drives the plot in all Wario games is Wario's desire for things, usually money and treasure, or to get revenge against someone, typically for taking his stuff or treasure. He took over Mario's castle (which I guess he has, apparently) out of jealousy, sure, but it's his desire to have a castle of his own that motivates him to doing what he did in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. Wario helps the Hidden Figure collect the Five Music Boxes in Wario Land 3, but only after the Hidden Figure says he can keep whatever treasure he finds along the way. The Merfle thinks Wario is helping him to free Queen Merelda from the Shake King, but he's clearly more interested in getting the Bottomless Coin Sack. Even with the WarioWare games, the only reason he starts up his own video game company is because he's looking to score some easy cash, hence why he calls his friends to do most of the work. Even the more crude aspects of Wario's personality have basically always been there. While I admit, I'm not a fan of how more recent games and ESPECIALLY Super Smash Bros. tend to emphasis the toilet humor and him farting over anything else about that, it's not like he was a clean character before this. He picks his nose, scratches his butt, drools while he sleeps. Again, Wario is allowed to be things Mario typically isn't, and that includes being a little gross every now and then... even if I would REALLY like Nintendo to stop acting like Wario is only one big fart joke. All-in-all, there's a lot to like about Wario, and I wish more people would see that. I legit watched someone play Wario Land 4 for the first time, and they were shocked because, in their own words, they only knew Wario as "that guy from the Mario games who farts", and that frustrates me so much. There is so much potential with this character and Nintendo is in a position where they're focusing on bigger, "safer" projects and don't really have time to make the smaller, more off-beat titles they used to make. I legit can't imagine anyone within Nintendo actually wanting to make another Wario Land game, or do anything besides make more WarioWare games, and don't get me wrong, I love WarioWare, but I feel like certain elements of Wario's image and personality are lost in only focusing on WarioWare. Wario is and always has been a goofball, but he's also kind of a badass, hence why his signature move is his shoulder bash, and that's just something you don't get to see too often in the WarioWare games. Hopefully either someone within Nintendo finally takes notice of fans wanting a new Wario Land installment, or someone approaches them with a really strong pitch for something similar to that, because I really want to see the "full package" Wario of being silly and strong come back someday.

I just think it’s really funny to think this guy went from a treasure hunter to a surprisingly decent game dev, makes Warrior feel more like a regular guy compared to the other Mario characters and that’s kinda why I loved him as a kid. Dude just has his own life and friends outside the main group and I was always just happy for him, good on him to not get boxed into just being “evil Mario” and carving his own path in life.

I actually used to play Wario World at the haircut place. That haircut place was the best place ever. GameCube games, themed seats, and DVDs

[@sedasauce5030]

literally rewatched your super paper mario videos yesterday just for you to upload this great timing 😎

[@Rainbow_Heart]

Honestly, didn't know that Wario diverted that much throughout the series (Also not really related but the golf one, Toadstool something I forget, with the full sentences, Luigi says "unbelievable" so funnily and I love that XD)

[@superstorm393]

Not gonna stand for the warioware slander! XD

[@mechashadow]

Captain Rainbow would make more sense than Wario for Warioware

[@whact]

i think wario at his best form is in the mario/wario land commercials

I feel like I've seen this video before. Schafrillis

Wario Land 4 and Shake It! will always be my ideal vision and version of Wario in my head if we want to set his Mario appearences aside. I don't like how the WarioWare series made him more like Daffy Duck because I don't agree that Wario is a complete dumbass and he always makes himself look pathetic which is not Wario to me. Especially in Shake It!, they made Wario have that perfect balance of goofy & kinda dumb with the macho-man aspect to him and his dedication to get what he needs no matter what. Even some of the Mario spin-offs portrayed Wario like this to me where he is both clumsy kinda where he ends up foiling his own plans but also that Wario isn't to be fucked with that Wario Land 4 & Shake It! showed Edit: also Wario Land: Shake It! is one of the best games on the Wii, go play it right now

[@aidanhammans9337]

To be fair, those were him on adventures. WarioWare stuff aren’t problems he can just punch in the face, so he has to think, and he’s no good at that. If he was sent on another Wario Land adventure, he’d probably be portrayed as decently competent again.

@@aidanhammans9337 I mean true, Wario defeating a dictator in a different dimension isn't the same as Wario having to pay his employees and he doesn't wanna, so I get how different he acts in both scenerios

[@orangeslash1667]

@@Stock_Junction I recommend Anton Blast as a successor to Wario Land.

[@Rafael_Oiticica]

Another masterpiece, Alax! It's amazing how you make me laugh every single video! That scene in which the team from Samus need to sketch a Mario and end up sketching him with boobs is hilarious lmao

6:15 I actually wouldn't mind if they were titled like this, but I guess it's a little weird and foreigny to do that.
