Background

Wario is one of the antagonists of Mario, and is the opposite of him in every way. Wario acts greedy, rude, and evil as shown in various games that he appears in. Apparently, Wario is also the founder of a video game development company called Warioware, Inc. Wario has shown too, that he is less evil and more greedy in the Warioware series.

Role in SSE

Wario appears to be one of the bad guys in the game. He will first turn either Zelda or Peach(depends who you save) at the start of the game into a trophy. He will as well turn others into trophies later in the game until he gets beat by Pokemon Trainer and Lucas and gets turned into a trophy and then gets hit by the bomb.

Multiplayer

Pros

Strong attacks
Wario Waft can K.O. if fully charged
Good ground game
Wario Waft can be used as vertical recovery if it is charged up enough
Smashes are powerful
Can use bike as a small horizontal recovery
Can eat up bike after it falls
Can eat some projectiles and items
Can get back on bike after it falls
Chain grabs on heavy-weight characters
Can taunt while riding motor bike
Fast attacks
Great Aerial game
Almost instant mid-air acceleration, reaches top speed within frames
Wario Waft is just as good a KO move at half charge if not better
Chomp cancels many attacks with ease
Heavy weight and a very small size for his weight class

Cons

Wario Waft takes time to fully charge
Not much Horizontal or Vertical recovery with Recovery Move
Wario Man's bike can be a stupid move when in the air, as to get off safely you should turn around but even then you may not fall off the bike when you finally want to
Has an extremely laggy down smash
If bike falls off stage or you eat it up you have to wait some time for it to come back
Only has one spike (a semi-spike at that) and it's very, very situational, setting this up also sets up Wario for a recovery gimp as the spike is his bike when thrown

Strategies

Mind games are VERY important with Wario. One useful tactic is to be high in the air, use your bike, and jump off it. Plenty of players think that if the bike hits them from the air, they will take damage. FALSE. Use this to your advantage.

Next up is Wario's chain grabs. Wario can grab heavy weight characters with ease, such as Donkey Kong. A few heavy-weights can easily break this chain, such as Ike and Yoshi. Wolf can also break out of it if he uses his Reflector. To chain grab, you use your down throw. It makes your opponent fly the opposite way you are facing. Instead of running after them, just click the grab button again, as Wario has a very large grab radius.

Short Hop down-air is a great attack, as it auto cancels when you touch the ground. Abuse this as much as possible. Chomp (B) is another great attack than can be used as a surprise attack on your opponents, since it has grab hitboxes it is can cancel out all body based attacks making it particularly useful to break Sonic's approach.

Wario's bike is his main recovery move- let's face it: Corkscrew sucks. You can use Wario's bike as an offensive projectile, but try to use its broken parts. When possible, use the bike as a "wall"- make your opponent hit the bike instead of you. Also, the bike can be used as an edgeguard if you hit the opponent just as they jump onto the ledge. If you hit once, odds are it will hit a few more times (generally killing them). Watch out for characters with Up-B super armor, such as Ike.

Tilts are an essential of Wario, as KO moves as well as damage rackers. Unfortunately, Wario's tilts lack range compared to most of the cast and therefore you need proper spacing to use them effectively. A jab into a f-tilt works as long as the opponent doesn't shield or evade it, and you can use this as an easy way to get your opponent to a high %. U-tilt can also be used as a great KO move at higher percentages.

Trivia

Contrary to popular belief, Wario's name is not simply Mario with the first letter inverted; It is actually a portmanteau of the word waru (meaning bad) and the name of his moral counterpart, Mario.
According to Snake's talk with Otacon, Wario eats Garlic every day. When an opponent is inside his mouth, the smell never washes off. Ever.
