Wario

Wario (Japanese: ワリオ) is the main protagonist of his own series and a recurring character in the Super Mario series. He is portrayed as an self-righteous anti-hero and the evil and greedy version of his arch-rival Mario.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He is the most iconic anti-hero in video game history, rivaling the portly Italian plumber (AKA the greatest video game character) himself.
 * 2) Wario typically has a natural greed for money, which also balance's out for his competitive side, especially when it comes to competing with Mario.
 * 3) Wario has quite the temper, when he usually gets Into a typical rival competition, or if he loses or tries to best Mario.
 * 4) He has been cast as a hero when fighting others who are more villainous than him, which have made his personal and moral flaws seem smaller.
 * 5) He was chosen as the star of the WarioWare series solely because the developers felt he was the best character for the franchise because he often acted stupid.
 * 6) Since his appearance in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, Wario has become a well-established mascot for Nintendo, and he has received a largely positive reception.
 * 7) Though Wario is not the most likeable character, his strong confidence overshadows his flaws and makes him entertaining a la Robbie Rotten.
 * 8) He has starred in his own series of games, which have been critically-acclaimed like the Wario Land and WarioWare series.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He is still unlikeable to some fans.
 * 2) He is only interested in saving the day when it means fortune for him or a way home.
 * 3) *His greedy side also shows when he refuses to pay his friends for their work in several WarioWare games.
 * 4) He has a move at Super Smash Bros which is just... a fart.
