Wario-related randomness

Like I said in a profile post, Microsoft Cortana pronounces Wario like, not Wahr-io, not Wor-io (or War-io), or Warry-o (Ware-io), or even Wur-io (or Were-io), but war-EYE-o.
There's an app called Narrator's Voice, which is a text-to-speech app, and her voice is in it.

That is probably the strangest pronunciation of Wario I've ever heard. All those other ones you mentioned are plausible but "war-eye-oh"?
 
You mean Wario's cackles and grunts during the big showdown? You can thank Kazumi Totaka for that. He was a sound design wizard. Really, everything about that battle was prestigious in terms of presentation -- the dynamic music, chasing Wario deeper into the castle, his different power-ups, etc.. I can tell the devs were really proud of Wario and wanted to give him a smashing debut. It certainly payed off.
 
I did mention before in this thread that Wario looked burnt to a crisp but also white. Looks like he has a mad tan in Mario Party 4.

He's on the same level of tan as Waluigi in that game! The tan thing is normal for Walu though, except usually he's more tan than... BROWN. If Wario put his short sleeve shirt (that he only wore in his own games at the time) on, he'd probably look like this. (I think I got the tan- errr BROWN wrong but yeah)

If he was Italian he'd be "burnt pizza"! He looks like a lightskin AF black! He looks like frickin chocolate milk!

The last trailer for WarioWare Gold provoked me to ask a question I had in my head for years.

Those blue rings. No, I'm not gonna ask what is their function/backstory/reason to exist.

I'm gonna ask why do they move from game to game? Sometimes they're outside of his eyes, sometimes they're closed by both eyelids, and now they're closed by one eyelid. What. Is. Going. On?
 
It comes from Mario's name, MAHr-io, and the Japanese word "warui," WAHr-ui. And Wario says his name like that in games. He's probably not from a place where names like "Warren," WOR-en, are used.
 
And how come this person could pronounce Wario right (they didn't even say it with an accent like "Wadio"), but they spelled it like the common mispronunciation?
