| abstract | - Wario is the son of Stanley Mario, an Italian-American exterminator, and cousin to the famous Mario Bros. Stanley gained local fame, along with his brother, Mario, Sr., for his clash with the gorilla Donkey Kong in a greenhouse. Like Mario, Wario came from a lower-class family, but unlike his altruistic cousin, Wario possessed a greedy nature, and swore to never again be without wealth and power of one nature or another. When Wario heard rumors of strange creatures being sighted in the New York sewers, Wario and his younger brother Waluigi set out to capture the beasts and sell them to the highest bidder. Instead, the Wario Bros. ventured through an interdimensional portal, and would find themselves stranded in the Mushroom Kingdom. Found by the tyrant Bowser Koopa, Wario and Waluigi volunteered their services as henchmen to the Koopa King, protecting his claim to the throne of the Mushroom Kingdom. This brought the Wario Bros. into conflict with the Mario Bros., who were seeking to liberate the Kingdom from Bowser's rule. The Mario Bros. were successful, and the Wario Bros., now war criminals, went into hiding. Setting up operations in seedy Diamond City, Wario travelled the Mushroom Kingdom in a never-ending search for fame and fortune. He met with Mario again when Wario attempted to usurp control of Mario Land, a small nation Princess Peach gave to Mario as thanks for his heroism in the Mushroom Kingdom. Using mind control, Wario succeeded in taking over, turning the country into Wario Land. Mario eventually took back his nation, and unintentionally spited Wario by granting it independence, not wishing to be shackled with the responsibilities of running a country when he could be benefiting many more. Wario had quite a few adventures of his own, sometimes being an unintentional hero on his own. Most notably, back in Diamond City, Wario and Waluigi founded their own video game company, WarioWare, Inc., which has become one of the Mushroom Kingdom's most successful enterprises. Wario now has all the wealth he could ask for, and even controls several castles and private islands, but, true to his nature, is always seeking ways to make even more. Despite his self-benefiting goals, Wario has been roped into the Super Smash Bros. team, opposing the schemes of Doctor Doom. Seeing no way out of this commitment except victory, Wario once again is forced to be a hero.
