So…anyone know where that old rumor of Mario and Wario being cousins came from? (Things I was told as a kid)
12:38
I was always told as a kid that Wario was Mario and Luigi's evil brother.
@@davisbowe8668 yeah I swear I heard that too. It probably originated as people just assuming things, since Wario looks so similar to Mario and Luigi, I mean why wouldn't he be their brother?
@@davisbowe8668 believable when Luigi brings up a 3rd brother in the Super Show and Mario says "we don't talk about him."
@@birdbeaked Its *Balugio*
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.
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.
Only a matter of time before the lugli cracks.
@@DaNintendude he randomly showed up to play tennis and paired up with Wario.
Waluigi doesn't have any beef with them but he does cuck Luigi with Daisy just for the hell of it.
@@tristanward9937 What?
12:07
I love the implication that Wario is actually a good person so he *has* to practice being mean to be good at it
Wario's "The Art of Being Mean"
This hits harder when you think about how he sees Mario as a bully, and all the good things he's gotten because of it.
It's funny to imagine. Maybe he has a plush of Mario and he just throws insults at it
I love how wario has like more friends than mario that aren’t just toads. like each had their own personality and design showing that he is actually kind of a good person under all of that mario hating
I never looked at it that way 😂
Then again, he had no problem with trying to rob them all
Yea i dont think Wario is a good person…I just think his friends recognize how fun he is and how good his micro-games are.
Wario would sell his own brother for a single red coin.
Like when he betrayed them all.
Why didnt you mention Wario in Mario 64 DS ? The only time Wario is playable in a Mario main game .
Notice how whenever Miyamoto is removed from the picture, all of a sudden Mario is actually allowed to get new lore and new characters? (Mario and Wario's history, Wario introduced, Rosalina and her story, Pauline returning)
if only Mr. Yokoi could see how far Wario's come so far.
He evolved into a Chad with his over-the-top humour, Charles Martinet’s performances and big muscles!
Seems like he’s come everywhere by now
@@JesusVEIVO i love it when wario pulls a classic wario, and warios all over the place
The way Mario hits the peace sign before he flies off with the statue 😂
I have heard fhat sign was a V for victory.
It's like a family friendly middle finger to Wario
maybe he's doing the british version where it's the outside of the hand pointing out ;)
He's basically doing all of the above, Peace out, Victory and "F you Wario" without turning his hand but Wario knows what he really means
Bros a menace for that 💀
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how proud Wario looks at his bird house?
I mean, he has a pet chicken that he valued more than his treasure.
I mean its pretty good
Acknowledged
I'd be proud too
wario really went from this spiteful frenemy of mario to a passionate indie game dev with his own company in real life california (warioware get it together uses a real location from california in its opening) and honestly good for him
Dude cons gamers with shovelware.
@@MalekitGJ at least he's honest about it.
@@MalekitGJ um, it's called The Grind. :/
He's absolutely NOT a passionate indie game dev, he's just trying to make as much money as fast as possible. I'm sure he'd put lootboxes in his game if he knew about their existence.
@@Ten_Thousand_Locusts so...he is a passionate MOBILE game developer
I love these deep historical dives into the Mario universe! As a kid playing Mario Land, we had no idea all the extra lore Japan had. It’s so cool to learn about!
I think there was also some Wario Land 3 promotional material where people asked Wario some questions and... well, his gross personality was already established in Japan back then.
It took until WarioWare and Smash Bros. Brawl for the rest of the world to see that facet of his.
16:06 Flipping the audience off
Edit: In my head, I assume after the events of Warioland 4, Wario mellowed out from treasure hunting and decided to go clean (Well, more clean) after saving Princess Shokora. 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.
Personally, I like the more high-pitched Italian voice for Wario more than the deep German voice purely for the hilarity of the juxtaposition of a big guy having a shrively and nasally voice. It adds a lot to Wario's character.
I really want the german voice actor for Wapol from One Piece to voice german Wario
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.
My man isn't just big he's fucking ripped, he's a miniature hulk, a massive throbbing fist of a person. I bet he could rip a phone book in half.
That’s why he can break bricks
Hes built like a middle aged guy who used to powerlift in his early days. Hes built a bit like alex jones
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.
I mean, it makes sense considering that Tatanga is a boss in SML2.
I just assumed Wario, like Mario, is stronger than Tatanga, that they fought, and Wario beat him and made him his subordinate.
Makes far too much sense to be Nintendo canon.
@@hazukichanx408 is levels of Fawful consistent story telling (and yes story consistency continuity in Mario is ranked by their villains, and Fawful is just at the top with 5 games under he’s belt counting the side modes of the remakes has their own games)
Wasn't that in the instruction manual
Syrup is a character that Nintendo needs to bring back, especially since Pauline now gets included in the Mario spinoffs
They already have a great redesign of her in Smash bros Ultimate as a Spirit
@@Speariture That design is actually from the criminally underrated Wario Land: Shake It!! on the Wii.
This turned from why Mario is a bully to how wario made a bunch of money and then died
A perfect character arc
@@TheMentok OH MAI GOD
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-*CRASH*
Lmaooo 💀💀💀
In the canon, Wario is actually immortal. Though with immortality mechanics similar to the movie Death Becomes Her(1992)
@@NimhLabs Wario isn't immortal. He could die if he wanted to, but he doesn't feel like it.
god i love listening to someone on the internet explain obscure video-game lore, one of my favorite activities as of late
Some plumbers just want to watch the world burn.
Lol, ok Alfred
Wario is NOT a plumber
@@HonerableG True
Lol like Wario can't be bought
Lolll
My Niece used to make me play this game so she could watch all the goofy games and cutscenes, but she was still too young to do well at them. She eventually was able to beat the games by herself, but it was a fun way to bond.
That's a beautiful story, niece went from bad but enthusiastic to so good she can beat all the games. That's cute, what a character arc
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.
_"Don't be such a wimp"_ -Mario
Definitely words to live by
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.
All Wario Land games are favourites of Mario/Wario games for various reasons. ;)
I would play that game for hours its so good
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.
*Koopa’s Revenge intensifies*
I bet that boshi from smrpg would be the yoshi of that reality
_"Look guys look! It is one of my greatest achievements."_
*~ Wario*
I played 6 golden coins a ton as a kid. I also only played it on the og gameboy, so seeing these games without the blurred movements are uncanny to me.
I heard Wario say "Doh, I missed" as a child
I like that this video turns from "why Wario hates Mario" to "the history of Wario itself"
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.
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
I first came to love Wario because of Mario Kart 64. In the multi-player modes when you won he had his great line "I'ma Wario, I'ma gonna win!", but when you lost he was so upset he would be biting his hat 😂
I can't believe Wario lived in Diamond City before getting obliterated by nuclear bombs
A 20+ minute video on the backstory of a relationship between video game characters. This kind of stuff is why I love TH-cam. No where else can you get content like this taken seriously. It's great to listen to while I work or clean.
Wow i didnt know how complicated warios name creation was i thought they just flipped the M in the name and on the cap.
We gonna need a Wario Odyssey
Would be something Nintendo would make mkre than another Luigi game or Waluigi reference
The universe isn't ready for a wario game of that caliber
We need a normal wario game and not these wario ware stuff . I hope one day we get a Wario world 2 or a remake of the original
0:28 wish I was the ball rn…🥴
HUH??????????
16:44 funny thing about Charles is that he also at onepoint voiced donkey Kong and I think Bowser 64 I don’t know which line it was, but it was the line that was tone down that fitted the character and so that bowser wouldn’t sound like Mario I also think Charles is going to voice Wario in the Mario movie, since that’s the only character he’s fully voice acted before in other games and I think that would make one hell of a cameo appearance
I always thought Wario was Maro's evil brother or clone. Glad I watched this video, learned so much. Thank you.
9:46 I use 3D maze as a Screensaver! I changed the brick texture to a closeup of my sona's smug face
You know, I usually dislike videos that cut the flow of the narration just to put a gag or meme in the middle, but you do it in such away that it's actually funny. Great channel
2:21 “ Hey, This place looks like Pumpkin Hill! ” *proceeds to sing Pumpkin Hill throughought the entire level*
Ironically, I knew Wario through Bomberman in "Wario Blast" so I inherently thought Wario used bombs for everything, and was sad to know that the bombs were because of Bomberman.
He can use bombs in the first Wario Land game, it's a power up. I agree with you though, it seemed like throwing bombs would be a bigger part of his personality... I think was at one point but they minimized his connection to bombs because it would hurt western marketing. You still see a lot of bomb imagery in the Warioware games, as the timer - as well as Warioland 4 where literally detonates worlds before escaping into a portal.
Double dash him and waluigi special weapon was bombs. So that's something
@@theedwardian I always thought it was a wasted opportunity not having them as part of his move set in Smash.
In Super Smash Bros. game Wario could feed on Link's bombs or a bob-omb.
@@VOAN Bombs are also used as a logo for the warioware series as well as a timer for the microgames.
The part at 2:32 "(gasp) Topanga!" got me cracking up (I loved Boy Meets World when I was a kid)
OH MY GOD
WAHHHHHHH
(giant explosion) 20:52
My dad bought a Gameboy and the first wario game to play while I was being born and my couples months stay in the hospital after that (had issues after I was born), and helped keep him sane during those rough times. It was also the first video game my little brother and I played and we both loved it. So wario holds a really special place in my heart. Awesome video man, really well done and I appreciate it!
17:34 why is Charles Martinet dripped out of his mind like that?! 🤣
He seems so chill 🤣 That was at the premiere for the latest Dragon Ball movie. He voices a character named Magenta and decided to dress like him
@@TheMentok oh that's right! I forgot he was in that movie
Did you know that Wario has the ability to crush a apple with his bare hands, yet he uses it to pick his nose. This was confirmed in a manual
There is one thing I can bring up: Back in 2002, Burger King had these kids meal promotions of the Super Mario All-stars toys. Every toy came with like an activity book that had some trivia on it like what's Mario's last name and one of them was the question: Why does Wario hate Mario so much. I still remember the answer because according to the paper, Mario is a better plumber than Wario.
Mario Land 2 is one of my favorite Mario games. Really interesting locations and baddies and Wario made for a fun final boss. Especially with him using the same power-ups Mario used all game. I kinda wish they'd try something like this again but include Waluigi as well.
I also thought Wario was saying "Oh, I missed" this whole time.
4:24 lol that's from the Wario World game manual. I remember it even has a little Wario annotation next to it saying something to the effect of "who's the idiot who said I weigh 308lbs?! I just like to layer my clothes" 💀
I liked to know more of what happened to Captain Syrup and Wario's friend Mona and why she likes him. (Probably the only girl who actually likes him)
Funny Captain Syrup is a spirit in Smash Ultimate
What a thorough dive! Certainly learned things I didn’t even know I didn’t know! Would love to hear your coverage of Wario Land 2, 3, and 4. 3 was a special kind of wild.
Dude gets hit by a car, gets out to check the damage, and gets hit by ANOTHER car.
Someone was trying to kill that man for sure.
Sounds like it.
16:12 Did I hear "Waluigi"? Luigi being transformed into Waluigi?
Started watching your origin vids from yesterday
was waiting for your next vid
and here it is!
I 💛 Wario
Btw you should make a playlist for your Mario related videos. Love these!!
Thanks! I have a playlist for the Mario vids now
This unlocked a few memories about games I'd forgotten I'd had, played and loved! What a great video full of cool info I didn't know or had forgotten about! I'm looking forward to checking out your back catalog!
I remember getting WarioWare for DS, and playing it for hours, I thoroughly loved it. The characters had a lot of charm, the art and even the sound design was pretty cool.
Super Mario Land 2 and Wario Land are still two of my favorite platformers. They both have so damn much charm. Wario really had a strong start, the lucky bastard. I still need to play the DX version of Six Golden Coins!
thanks for making this as someone who was always confused about this lore I really appreciate you making this.
Your channel has been a great find. No idea what made it pop into my feed, but I’m glad it did 👍
4:18 In Super Smash Bros Brawl in the subspace emissary, Wario captures Ness, this could be a reference to Pinocchio by both Wario and Stromboli kidnapping boys
Dude just found your channel yesterday and I'm loving stuff like this bro ✊💯💯✊ keep going On brother
everyone involved in the creation of wario sounds like brilliant and wild wizards that we need a million more of lol
Gosh that backround on 9:46 brings me back in my first days of school. Instead of doing my work I was always mesmerized by the two computers with this image moving and going upside down. Til this day I've always wondered about it @-@
I still find it funny that Luigi gets seconds with daisy while Mario gets peach. And they all chill with it
15:23 needs to be an hour long
I've been saying it for years: we desperately need a new Wario Land game. they're all SO good, especially the first three!
18:16 honestly I thought Wario was saying "Oh I missed" as well. And I must say I absolutely love that pink jacket Charles Martinet is wearing during that clip from the interview you put in earlier
I still use "starfield" screensaver from like, windows xp. Exported it myself from a childhood computer. Fits my space theme nicely
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
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.
Your edits are top tier😂😂
You are appreciated.
Wario is basically Mario's Reverse-Flash: they both wear yellow and they do everything in their willpower to make their enemies lives a living hell
Great video man! I didn't know much about Wario besides him being super cheap in smash brothers with his motorcycle attacks lol. I always assumed that he was an evil brother of Mario when I was a kid too. I'd definitely love to see him in the main Mario story more as well, keep up the fantastic work
One of the best things about Wario is that King Bob-Omb felt threatened by his moustache in Super Mario 64 DS 😂
Not just a screensaver, but the one you showcased as an example none the less. Love me some 3D Maze.
This is so well made. It held my attention the whole time and was very interesting! I love this content
The super Mario land 2 commercial Is givin me cow and chicken vibes
3:52 dude I laughed SO.FUCKING.HARD my roommate yelled at me through the wall lmao, (I’m sorry btw bro if you see this video which I’m sending you so that you can understand 😂).
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.
Love your edits and story telling. These vidoes are so fun and interesting
Dude I’ve been binging your entire channel ever since I found it. Amazing stuff!💖💖💖👏👏 also Wario World is MY FREAKING CHILDHOOD and the music, sound design, and overall look of the game is my favorite wario thing ever made.
I appreciate this! Been wanting to replay Wario World as I was making this video. A GameCube classic
bro is cooking the algorithm jesus
Just subscribed...your research is impressive, and your videos are super entertaining! You should do a video on Yoshi's history/origin. I feel like the existence of the "Yoshis" and the fact that the og Yoshi is older canonically than Mario (Yoshi is fully grown when Baby Mario is around) makes the story of the green dinosaur very fascinating.
Keep up the good work, and thank you for the awesome content! 😎
its damn nice to see you doing videos like this, back then many people made videos like that but they either make other content now or stopped making videos entirily.
I am glad i found your chanel keep up the work🙌🔥
Wario also reminds me of Cartman from South Park, which blends well to add humor, depth, and life to the dark cartoon villains Wario was based off of.
Made my day better with a good laugh at 13:42 lol holy crap that was funny.😅
Glad I found this video and another channel to subscribe to.
High quality stuff here; thank you.
I WAS SEARCHING FOR 10 YEARS FOR THE "SO EIN MIST" THING
I heard it on a Dunkey Lee Sin video like 10 years ago and I thought it was the funniest soundbite ever but I could never track down where it was from until this video, I'm a grown man now and I finally have closure. I genuinely can't believe it. I always thought it said "Oh I missed!", fantastic stuff.
2:12 one of the bosses was littery the 🗿
WarIo is legit cooler than Mario and If he doesn’t show up in the movie I’ll be a little disappointed.
Mario's the man. Stop it.
I totally forgot about that Wario game on the GameCube that pause music gave me HELLA nostalgia thank you 😂❤
How do you not have more subs? I stumbled on these videos and the quality alone should justify more subs
Warioware Inc. is my all-time favorite video game. I think having having ADHD is a major advantage to playing it haha
That is the most cursed baby Donkey Kong to ever exist 6:22
I love your videos found them a few days ago have been binging them keep up the good work
This is a really well made video. Great work.
I don't just still use a screensaver, I still use the 3D Maze screensaver you showed in the video! It's just for looks, since screensavers have been obsolete ever since the phaseout of CRTs, but I still have such fond memories of it from the Windows 9x days I can't part with it.
3 words to describe wario: greed, greeder, greedest
The good old Oompa music that is Wario's theme from Mario Strikers Charged for the Wii is my personal favorite. I love those cutscenes of his.
Watched 2 of your videos, am now subscribed, hoping to see more!
