Wario (???, Wario?) is a video game character created by Gunpei Yokoi of Nintendo.[1][2] While making his first appearance as the antagonist in the 1992 Game Boy game Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, he eventually spun-off into his own franchise, starting with Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. The name "Wario" is Mario's name blended with the Japanese adjective warui (??) meaning "bad"; hence, a "bad Mario".[3] |
