[edit] Wario Land series
[edit] Wario
Wario (ワリオ?) was designed as an antagonist to Mario, and first appeared in the 1992 handheld video game Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins as the main villain and final boss. Since that time, Wario has developed into the protagonist and antihero of his own video game franchise spanning both handheld and console markets, in addition to his numerous appearances in spin-offs of the Mario series. He is voiced by Charles Martinet, who also voices the Mario, Luigi, and Waluigi characters.
[edit] Captain Syrup
Captain Syrup is the main antagonist of Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 and Wario Land 2. She is the leader of a legion of seafaring thieves known as the Brown Sugar Pirates. She is a technological genius and inventor, constantly building mechanized apparatuses to assist her in attacking whatever target she chooses. The Pirates' base of operations is Kitchen Island, a gigantic coved island in the middle of the ocean, and their main mode of transportation is the S.S. Teacup, a massive pirate ship. In the first Wario Land game, Wario pursues Syrup in order to steal a giant golden statue of Princess Toadstool that Syrup stole from Mario. After Syrup is defeated, she vows revenge on Wario. During the second game, she exacts her revenge by stealing all of Wario's treasure. A recent issue of Famitsu confirms that she will be appearing in Wario Land: The Shake Dimension.

[edit] Princess Shokora
Princess Shokora is a mythical princess who appears in Wario Land 4. She has a curse placed upon her by the Golden Diva that forces her to live in the body of a shape shifting black cat. Throughout the game, she helps Wario by selling him items prior to boss battles.

[edit] Golden Diva
The Golden Diva is the main antagonist of Wario Land 4. She is a large, floating golden woman that was cursed by her own greed, turning her into a hideous monster. She wears a mask to conceal her true appearance. She is the one responsible for transforming Princess Shokora into a cat and stealing her treasure.
[edit] Black Jewel
The Black Jewel is the main antagonist of Wario World. It is an evil, brilliant-cut black gem that is motivated by greed.

[edit] Goodstyle
Goodstyle is an ally of Wario in Wario: Master of Disguise. He is an animated wand that Wario steals from Count Cannoli. Goodstyle aids Wario by giving him advice and allowing him to transform into different costumes. During the game, it is revealed that Goodstyle was the first member of the Cannoli family who sealed the evil Terrormisu into the Wishstone. Goodstyle then transformed himself into a powerful wand to aid a warrior in defeating Terrormisu. After Wario reassembles the pieces of the Wishstone and defeats Terrormisu, Goodstyle gives all of his treasure to Wario as thanks.
[edit] Count Cannoli
Count Cannoli is an antagonist in Wario: Master of Disguise. He is a self-proclaimed "master thief", who is really no more than an amateur that is only able to accomplish anything while using Goodstyle's powers to become his alter-ego, the Silver Zephyr. After Wario steals the wand, Cannoli's only means of fighting back are a variety of gadgets and machines that he has designed. Once he discovers that Wario is trying to hunt down the pieces of the Wishstone, Cannoli remembers that it is his family's duty to keep them apart, and begins dogging Wario's heels even more closely, trying to keep the pieces away from him. Eventually, he is forced into an alliance with fellow thief and antagonist, Carpaccio, in an attempt to stop Wario.
[edit] Carpaccio
Carpaccio is the main antagonist in Wario: Master of Disguise. He is a brilliant chemist who runs the company known as Sigil Securities. However, he uses his knowledge of security systems and science for evil, becoming a true master thief with the aid of his mind and his money. The Carpaccios, having worked with the Cannoli family for generations, also have a duty to keep the Wishstone from combining. Eventually, he is forced into an alliance with fellow thief and antagonist Cannoli in an attempt to stop Wario.
[edit] Terrormisu
Terrormisu is an evil demon who once exploited a pharoah's greed to destroy an entire civilization. She is sealed into the Wishstone by Goodstyle long before the events of Wario: Master of Disguise take place. As Wario collects the pieces of the Wishstone during the game, Terrormisu spots her chance, and is able to project her image into the real world once Wario passes by a volcano that happens to be a nexus of dark power. She takes the form of a young mysterious woman, calling herself "Tiaramisu" to trick Wario into thinking she is friendly. After collecting all of the pieces of the Wishstone, she is able to escape, but is soon defeated by Wario.

They appear constantly throughout all the WarioWare games, both in microgames and cutscenes. 9-Volt apparently even keeps one of them as a pet, calling it "Shag". In the Japanese version, these creatures were known as Pixies, and the individual character was called Shaggy. In addition to several varieties of yellow Pixies, there are also red and blue varieties; their faces vary individually from each other. They are also apparently very small, as they are usually depicted getting stomped on, crushed, eaten, or kicked. Their sizes range from the size of a human toe to smaller than a penny.

A 'theme song' of Mona Pizza can be heard on WarioWare from Super Smash Brothers Brawl.
