Doug Bowser (over this morning's video conferencing call this morning): "Mr. Furukawa! Mr. Furukawa-san, sir!" The Shake King ( Japanese: シェイキング, Hepburn: Sheikingu) is the main antagonist of Wario Land: Shake It! who kidnaps Queen Merelda and takes the Shake Dimension's treasures, among them the Bottomless Coin Bag that holds an infinite number of coins. Sweet-talked by Captain Syrup with promises of treasure, Wario defeats the Shake King and frees the Shake Dimension from his evil, though this registers as a complete afterthought in Wario's mind.

In Mario Kart 64, Wario receives voice acting for the first time, provided by Thomas Spindler and Charles Martinet in the Japanese and overseas versions respectively. Spindler also voiced Wario for Mario Party and Mario Party 2, but Martinet has voiced him in all other games in which he has received voice acting since then. Martinet portrays Wario with a deep, gruff voice to give him a "tough" demeanor, whereas Mario and Luigi are given higher-pitched, softer voices. Wario speaks with a strong Italian accent, but there are several notable differences between his speech and that of Mario and Luigi. For example, Wario is less likely to refer to himself in the third person, as evidenced by quotes like "I lost! To a buncha losers!". Additionally, Wario adding "-a" after contractions is much less common, such as when he says "It should've been called Wario Golf! You're gonna love it!" after the intro for the Nintendo 64 game Mario Golf. However, there are still some instances where this is not the case, such as Mario Kart Wii, where he says "It's-a me, Wario!" and "I'm-a gonna win!". Wario ( ワリオ , Wario ?, Wario) is an anti-hero character in the Mario franchise designed as both the evil doppleganger and rival of Mario. Shortly after his debut in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Wario went on to become the main protagonist of his own franchise of the same name. He commonly appears in the Mario spinoffs, often partnered with Waluigi. Ball • Ball o' String Wario • Bouncy Wario • Bubble Wario • Crazy Wario • Electric Wario • Fat Wario • Flat Wario • Hot Wario • Ice Skatin' Wario • Invisible Wario • Puffy Wario • Snowman Wario • Vampire Wario and Bat-Wario • Zombie Wario There are two major types of character in the WarioWare series. The first are the WarioWare, Inc. developers, who both create and host the microgames. Each one has a unique theme or twist, depending on the game. For instance, Jimmy T.'s microgames in Twisted! are focused around large spins, while in Touched! his microgames involve rubbing objects with the stylus. The second group of characters often show up within the introduction cutscenes — the most notable being Fronk, who hosts "Pop-Up" microgames in Twisted! and Gold and pops up in the most unlikely of places. Wario is shown on cards from several card games based on the Super Mario franchise. In Nintendo UNO, Wario appears in his kart from Mario Kart 64 as the Wild card, while in UNO Super Mario, he appears on each of the cards numbered "3." In Club Nintendo Hanafuda, Wario appears on the first October card, reaching for a Super Star near the top of a tree. Wario also appears on eight of the cards in the Super Mario Trading Card Collection.

In his concept artwork, Rudy has arms. However, in the game, his hands are separate floating graphics, stated to be due to hardware limitations, as the number of graphics the arms would require would not be manageable. [4]

I think my main problem with this sketch was that a lot of the jokes they used have already been beaten to death by a ton of Mario spoofs I have seen for like 20 years. Mario is actually a drug addict? Heard it a thousand times. Using the sound effects in unexpected ways? Definitely nothing I haven't seen before. References to these children characters engaging in adult situations and sexual misconduct? Pretty much a standard for these kinds of sketches. Basically just shoe horned a bunch of tired old jokes together in a really awkward way. It just didn't really do it for me. While on Kitchen Island, Wario has a full-out battle with the pirate crew, until he finally reaches Captain Syrup. After a long fight with the captain and her Genie, Wario escapes the collapsing castle with the pirate queen's loot. However, Wario's main objective, the golden statue of Princess Toadstool, is reclaimed by Mario immediately after the castle collapses. Now in possession of the Genie's lamp, Wario decides to summon him and wish for his own castle, in exchange for the treasure he has collected throughout the game. Wario's wish is granted by the Genie to a varying extent depending on how much treasure Wario gives him. Wario is disappointed if his wish materializes as a birdhouse or a hollow tree trunk, while he is pleased if it is a log cabin, a pagoda, or his original wish of a castle. However, if Wario collects 99,999 or more coins and all 15 treasures on Kitchen Island, he receives an entire planetoid with his face on it, which also greatly pleases him. Volt ( Japanese: ナインボルト, Hepburn: Nainboruto) is a young Nintendo fanatic, owning everything ever made by Nintendo. 9-Volt's microgames are all based on Nintendo games as well as toys from when Nintendo was primarily a toy company. Since Gold, he has been voiced by Melissa Hutchison in English and Makoto Koichi [5] in Japanese.Joe ( Japanese: ジョー, Hepburn: Jō) is an anthropomorphic beagle who made his first appearance in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames! (2004). He usually appears alongside Mona, often as a co-worker. Like Mona, he has several occupations throughout the series, such as a gelato shop worker and clothing store owner. Since Gold, he has been voiced by Kyle Hebert in English and Kō Takeuchi [5] in Japanese. Donlan, Christian (13 September 2021).

The final battle with Wario consists of three stages. The first stage consists of Wario charging across the room and stomping the ground, which causes the crystal balls moving across the ceiling above to fall. During the second stage, Wario uses a Carrot and transforms into Bunny Wario. In this form, Wario leaps up and flutters across the screen before finally slamming the ground, again causing lights to fall from above. Finally, during the final stage of the battle, Wario uses a Fire Flower and turns into Fiery Wario. At this point, Wario leaps across the screen and shoots fireballs after he lands. Wario is often depicted as an adventurer and thief, and there have been many hints towards his other jobs and hobbies. One of the most consistent occupations is his ownership of a microgame production company, WarioWare, Inc., in the WarioWare series. Jimmy T. ( Japanese: ジミーT., Hepburn: Jimī Tī) is a man with a large blue afro wig, who is a disco dancing fanatic. Jimmy is always seen frequenting hot Diamond City night spots, particularly Club Sugar. His family, which also dances with him includes Papa T. and Mama T., and his brother and sister, James T. and Jamie T. He also has a doppelganger named Jimmy P. whose hair is a different color to his. Their levels often involve remixing the games from previous stages. Since Gold, he has been voiced by Vegas Trip in English and Yūma Kametani [5] in Japanese. Game & Watch Gallery (1997, GB) • Game & Watch Gallery 2 (1997, GB) • Game & Watch Gallery 4 (2002, GBA) Nguyen did, however, immediately notice that Wario has some variation in his classic look: The short sleeves, for instance — a sign that, perhaps, Wario wants to look more intimidating by showing off those massive guns. One point for Wario. But where he loses that point is in his footwear.
