My account's namesake, Dr. Mechano. He's a silly mad scientist who uses various robots and inventions to try to take over the world. He's served by a troop of adorable little robots called Minioids, who he treats like his own children, as well as a prim and proper second-in-command named...

I feel like Wario Man actually does fit the overall "feel" of Wario's transformations. From Wario Land II onward, Wario's transformations were less powerups, and more like comical mishaps that arose from contact with various enemies and hazards: getting flattened, set on fire, drunk, etc. Wario...

Wario's Woods is an interesting spin on the falling block puzzle genre, in that you control an actual character who's subject to gravity in the playing field. I've never played a puzzle game that really uses a similar concept, so it gets points for uniqueness right off the bat. While Wario...

That's super cool! Master of Disguise is so underrepresented, so it's always a treat to see stuff based on it. Great to see the Purple Wind is still out on the prowl.

This lifelong Wario fan's from the United States.

Gotta go with the short-sleeves modern look. I feel like it's the most emblematic of Wario as a character, and the most associated with his series of platform adventures. I do like WarioWare's outfit, of course, and it's nice to see the guy in another set of clothes sometimes. But to me...

After debuting as the main antagonist of Super Mario Land 2, Wario's platformer appearances were usually relegated to his own spinoff games. But there've been a few exceptions, namely Super Mario 64 DS and Yoshi's Island DS, both of which featured Wario as a playable character (although only in...

I for one think it's pretty cool that everyone (not just the princesses this time) gets tennis attire in Aces. The last game to do that was Mario's Tennis on Virtual Boy. In general, Aces is looking like it's gonna have a lot more pizzazz and personality than Ultra Smash, and I'm hoping that...

Holding out hope that Wario Land will get more representation. It can even be small things, like bringing back the shoulder-barge from Brawl. Although a full-on Wario Land stage would make me ecstatic.

The full voice-acting interests me. It'll be great to hear Martinet's Wario with a bit more than just brief one-liners, which is usually relegated to things like trailers or live meet-and-greets. I'm hoping to also see the WarioWare characters talking to each other a bit more too; Some genuine...

While I love Wario Land 3, I feel like it's a game that's better suited to experienced Wario players. It builds on the foundation that Wario Land II established, and it's a lot easier for novice players to get lost or confused. As others have said, Master of Disguise - despite me quite enjoying...

Wario Land 4 has the absolute best level design in the entire series in my opinion. Its subtle uses of color help to add to each stage's unique identity, while also helping to - as you pointed out - allow the player to quickly recognize where they are at a glance. It's a nice little touch that...

Agreed, the lack of a clear motive is the problem. I could see Wario kidnapping the various trophy-transformed characters if he thought there was money in it for him. Wario's done a number of outright villainous things in the franchise (SML2, Wario's Woods, Mario & Wario) and even in his...

Collecting coins is a very Wario thing to do. I approve! Looking forward to having some items and treasures to spend them on.

Plus, I always assumed he had the castle in WL4. In the intro sequence, he drives the Wario Car out of a big fancy gate surrounded by tall walls of grey brick. Seemed pretty castle-esque to me.

Wow, that's really nice! Melluh definitely has a talent.

I like to think Mario Land was a very temporary thing. Like, after the events of SMB3, Peach rewards Mario with his own island/castle/etc., but the humble plumber finds running his own land to be a bit too much. So he ultimately gives it back and returns to living in a small house in the...

I think that the Super Mario Bros. movie isn't really a bad film; It's just a bad Mario film. If it didn't have the Mario name tacked onto it, it would be a serviceable - albeit not great - sci-fi comedy. I enjoy it for what it is, even acknowledging that it does a terrible job of adapting the...

Eh, we'll agree to disagree. I feel like TTYD's finale had enough levity, what with Bowser arriving with his quips and one-liners before the final battle, and Super Paper Mario had plenty of jokes throughout, but I totally understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea! It's still worlds...

Well, yeah. One can be invested in a series' lore and still roll their eyes when it takes itself too seriously. I think this is why I love the Mario RPGs so much. Because they can invoke very dramatic, serious, and emotional moments, but they never lose their sense of humor or self-awareness...
