Is there an official name for Wario's charging attack?

[Boris Carloft's Car Loft]

I've always dubbed it the "Shoulder Rush" or "Shoulder Slam", but my question is this: Was there ever an official title for the charging attack?

I've looked through official manuals and strategy guides, but the name is always inconsistent with the next.

Hm... I guess they didn't ever set it in stone. I just call it the charge attack.

 

[607]

I just call it R (if that's the attack you mean)

 

[Koopaul]

Me? I called it the Shoulder Barge.

I always just call it the shoulder charge, but it's first german name ,,Rippen triller" is pretty cool too.

official name. But I
here by name it.
"Big guy charging at ya"

Wario's trademark shoulder attack was originally called the Body Slam, which I loved the sound of as a boy (even though it's nothing like an actual body slam, in the traditional definition). Virtual Boy Wario Land then changed this, calling his ground pound move the Body Slam, while renaming his shoulder charge as simply the "Barge".

Shoulder Bash. simply enough.

It's funny, because I used to think he was charging with his elbow in Wario Land II. In some of the games it looked more like a dashing elbow attack than a shoulder slam.

I mean... it's sorta both. Shoulder at the top, elbow at the bottom, arm in the middle.
Depends on the angle you look at it.

"Upper Arm Dash" seems appropriate but it just doesn't roll off the tongue.
