Wario Franchise Appreciationさんのイラストまとめ

For all the talk about Waluigi memes, I genuinely rarely see any beyond his haters making the same unfunny Waluigi Smash jokes since 2018 or people posting funny stuff he does in the games as is, like his Mario Party moonwalk.

Wario meanwhile

While I will always voice support for Wario characters in Mario games, I accept why rosters aren't a focus in these games.

I would like it if they at least embraced alts for the usuals more regularly though.

Biker Wario and Classic Daisy.

I want.

Wario would be good at that minigame and surprise everyone with how good he is with chickens. They even put him on the render for it.

Total stretch, but I like to think there is a reference to Hen in there somewhere.

The Majora's Mask x WarioWare badge set from the Badge Arcade + an upscale.

I'd love to get good quality releases of that art, all we have are rips of these tiny badges.

One of my favorite little things Game & Wario introduced, were these special illiustration for the rules screens for games or special modes.

Ko Takeuchi did some non-WarioWare or Rhythm Heaven stuff for the Nintendo Badge Arcade.

One example are these Tank Troopers badges drawn by him, which I like because they are neat designs, from a decent eShop game.

The mook Bē is rather special, since he debuted in Super Mario Land 2 and made it into Wario Land.

This makes him the only mook to be brought from the Mario platformers into Wario Land.

Wario's artwork from Nintendo's internal character manual from the 90s.

This is actually the first known instance of Wario being shown to use the Shoulder Charge, since his entry got added to the manual in 1993. Wario Land 1 and Wario's Woods came out in 1994.

Seen a Mario Kart roster tweet earlier and that made me think.

I have my own opinions on what I'd like as a roster and naturally want Wario charas, but a roster doesn't need to appease to my pipedreams for me to call it good...some just still aren't good.

These I like though.

While Wario Blast, due to it's nature, has a hard time being directly referenced, it did mark a couple firsts for Wario.

It's the first game to emphasize bombs as an element to associate with Wario, something we still see today and we also get him on a bike, for the first time.
