Wario, the greedy and exaggerated rival of Mario, first appeared in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins and has since become a staple of internet humor. Known for his catchphrase 'WAH!' and his obsession with wealth, Wario memes often highlight chaotic energy, extreme greed, or gross-out humor. From the 'Wario Appears' trope in Smash Bros. mods to the 'Wario Dies' memes and the infamous creepypasta origins, the character serves as the perfect vehicle for anti-hero antics and over-the-top reactions. His design—featuring a jagged mustache and a vibrant yellow-and-purple palette—makes him instantly recognizable and highly versatile for social media commentary.
