SUPER MARIO 64 DS OFFICIAL ART SERIES

Wario making his debut as a playable character alongside the Mario Bros and Yoshi was a great idea, though the execution wasn't the best.Overall, it was a terrible way of introducing him as a playable character in a true Mario platformer game.He doesn't have much purpose aside from breaking bricks other characters can't, his immense strength and getting stars and keys exclusive to him, and unlike the introduction cutscene, he remains mostly quiet (if he's saved by Luigi before the game is done) after Bowser's defeat, aside from a little reaction to Peach rewarding Mario.Just like Luigi, his exclusive power up was taken from the original Super Mario 64, and thanks to that Mario cannot use it again in the remake unless using the Wario hat.

Unlike any other character which gameplay feels inspired by their own games (Yoshi and Luigi having similar gameplay from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Super Mario Bros.Most of his appearances as a playable character are memorable, unique and fun, mostly in his own series and other Mario spin offs, because in his first time being playable in a true platform Mario game, he is not even close to how good he usually is! Wario is a recurring character in Nintendo's Mario franchise, being the titular character's rival since his first debut as a bad guy in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins and also starting his own series as a treasure hunter and microgame creator.
