Colorful, funky noses and good mustaches are a recurring design element of Wario and characters relevant to him, that I love.
I really enjoy when Waluigi takes after Wario, like a shared affinity for bombs or Battle League giving him this elbow tackle, as his equivalent of Wario's Shoulder Charge.
The guy already feels like a Wario character in every way, so it's nice to see it embraced a little.
Wario's love for garlic was introduced in Wario Land, where it was one of the power-ups that could turn him into the even stronger Bull Wario.
Wario's garlic obsession in general is more than likely based on garlic's positive effects on aiding muscle growth and stamina.
Game & Watch elements and references are a staple of the Wario series.
Sam Spook from SNES Wario's Woods.
The Mario universe overalls guy that time forgot.
Even on the mobile front, Tour, while far better than the average Mario roster, doesn't compare to the deep cuts and fan service from across their franchises that other mobile games do. Especially jarring since very specific, niche additions are a successful core of GACHA.
A rare sideways render of Wario, for Mario Kart Super Circuit.
A couple instances of Wario's usual outfit appearing in WarioWare.
Fittingly enough, Wario's original designer and the most fitting person to be called the creator of Wario, Hiroji Kiyotake, get's to wear them in Smooth Moves' credits.
Characters that are goofy on the surface, but can absolutely wreck you, are a favorite trope of mine.
That's a quality these two absolute bosses share and I have love that since childhood.
A small detail I like about 5-Volt's original design is how she has the same kind of...cat mouth or whatever it could be called, that 9-Volt has.
