Very unexpected! Big ups to @warelander for showing that to me



Edit: cryptid photo of the costume itself!

Very nice to see! Given that another costume seems inspired by Boshi and there are remixes of songs from Wario Land and Yoshi's Story, it seems there's a fair bit of spinoff representation here.
 
However they also added a biker outfit for Wario, not the one from WarioWare, but an original design instead:

And it seems they really dig Wario doing his somewhat obscure body slam animation, making its first debut in VB Wario Land

He has that in Smash too for his neutral air, prolly coincidentally like it I guess though in the case of Smash.

The Masters of Disguises outfit is insane to see though assuming it rly is a reference to it, rly like them tributing them.
 
Given all the other references, it feels like it wouldn't be surprising if it was a deliberate tribute. Feels like they're referencing spinoffs in more subtle ways.
 
I just realized, the shape of that particular skull looks very familiar... I can't quite put my finger on which skull it reminds me of. It's not quite a Captain Syrup skull, those generally had rounder teeth, at least in the old games.

You mean the skull symbol from SMW?

Maybe Ashley? She wears a yellow skull and the shape of it might be different depending on the art style of the WarioWare game.
 
Here are all costumes for Wario:

  1. Racer Wario
  2. Doki Doki Panic Wario
  3. The bee powerup from Mario Galaxy
  4. Biker Wario, not to be confused with WarioWare
  5. Pirate Wario from Game and Wario
  6. Mohawk Wario
  7. Wrecking Crew Wario

Huh... I didn't think some characters would get so many more costumes than other characters. I thought every main character (i.e. not the random generic NPC enemies) would get one of each type of costume.
