Wario and Nintendo's Adaptation Plans

[CM30]

Given we've got Nintendo movies and a theme park now, how do you think Wario and his series might factor into these things in future?

Will Wario and co appear in Super Nintendo World? Will Diamond City or Kitchen Island or some other location get a Super Nintendo World area, like DK Island did?

How will they factor into the Mario movies, or possible spinoffs?

I doubt Wario will be getting quite the same appreciation in the adaption plans as DK has, mainly because I would call DK an overall more important and recognizable character in the Mario franchise. That said, I think we will be seeing the man himself in one of the upcoming movie sequels, if not the Galaxy movie then definitely a third potential sequel, which could bring more attention to his history. It would likely come down to his portrayal in those movies for any potential acknowledgement of his own series in other attractions: will he be greedy enough to take on the role of a treasure hunter/game developer, or simply be a goofy villain? I think most fans who only know Wario from the Mario spinoff games see him as more of the latter, so his role in a movie sequel could pique their interest and shift that perception for something greater.

We can't even get a Wario Power-up band at Super Nintendo World. Maybe we if turn the gold Mario one upside down...

Speaking of how they've been going all in with DK with the theme park, Bananza, and the movie, I'd love if Wario got the same treatment, but instead I think Yoshi is next. He's already getting a new game, and is making his theatre debut too (but I guess technically he already showed up in the OG mario movie) and I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo is working on more Yoshi stuff

That being said, I'm absolutely confident that maybe in the next few years, they have it in them to make a new main series Wario game and he'll get to make his theatre debut as well! But I just don't know if they'll decide to do both of those things at the same time and make it a coordinated grand revival thing, or if they'll spread it out because its been so long
