Like Donkey Kong, Wario also appeared as a baby in Yoshi's Island DS, where it is revealed that Wario did not have a true home to be returned to by the stork, which may explain his greedy personality and his jealousy towards Mario. His partner-in-crime bent on bothering Mario's brother, Luigi, is soon revealed, being named Waluigi. In these titles, Wario is no longer evil, but acts as more of a bumbling comic relief character. Wario has also made appearances in a great number of Mario spin-offs, including the Mario Kart and Mario Party games, as well as a large number of Mario sports titles. Finally, since he was too lazy to make all these games himself, he hires a handful of his fellow residents of Diamond City to do his work for him, among them the feisty multi-talented Mona, and the Nintendo superfan 9-Volt. Too short to even be called 'minigames', they were dubbed 'microgames'. Due to his short attention span, instead of creating a single game of reasonable length, he opts to make over two hundred games, each of them a mere five seconds long. Through these games, Wario eventually evolved from the classification of 'villain' to the title of 'anti-hero', one he still holds to this day.ДЄfter all these platforming escapades, Wario, now sporting biker gear as opposed to a yellow and purple version of Mario's duds, notices the boom of the video game industry, and decides to take advantage of this craze by forming his own game company. This trend would continue years later in Wario Land: Shake It! where Wario would again, unwillingly rescue a princess while in pursuit of the Shake Dimension's legendary treasure, The Bottomless Coin Sack. In Wario Land 4, he does what Mario had been doing for the last decade and rescues a princess of his own (Princess Shokora), albeit unknowingly. Wario Land 3 involves Wario doing his first unselfish deed, saving the inhabitants of a music box from the devious Rudy the Clown - on the condition that he gets to keep all the treasure that he earned along the way. In Wario Land II, Wario experiences a case of bad karma when Captain Syrup kicks him out of his own castle and steals it. By the end of the quest, Wario gives both Syrup and the Genie a sound thrashing, and pays the Genie to grant him his castle.ДЄfter antagonizing Mario and his friends yet again in games such as Wario's Woods and Mario & Wario, Wario continued to have three more adventures on various Game Boy platforms. He also gained his own villain in this adventure, the equally greedy Captain Syrup, who captured a Genie to use for her own selfish purposes. Instead of deploying acrobatics like Mario, Wario relied on his brute strength and the ability to sport various hats that gave him different powers, such as a dragon hat that spewed fire. This game played differently than the first two games, because Wario brought his own style with him. It takes place directly after Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, in which Wario sets out to earn as much gold as humanly possible, so he can buy his own castle and rub it in Mario's face. When conquered by Mario, he reverted to a ' tiny' form, and escaped out the window to search for better treasures.ДЄnd search for them he did, as he landed a starring role in the third game in the series, Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. Wario charges at his opponent with his shoulder, and crashes to the floor butt first, which became staple moves for the character in future games. In a three-part battle, Wario uses the same power-ups that Mario had access to throughout the game, and adds his own abilities to the mix. In the final showdown, Wario was revealed to look very much like Mario himself, except fatter, more muscular, slightly shorter, and with a big, bulbous nose that had a jagged, pointy mustache jutting out of it. When he arrives, he discovers that his castle has been taken over by his antagonistic, greedy counterpart, Wario, and he must retrieve the 6 Golden Coins hidden around the land to get his home back, while Tatanga's appearance as a boss in one of the levels provided possible hints that Wario could have been behind the events of the original Super Mario Land. Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins takes place directly after the first game, when Mario comes home after defeating the evil alien Tatanga.

Mario's 8-bit adventure was so successful that three years later, a sequel arrived. When Nintendo launched the Game Boy handheld system in 1989, Gunpei Yokoi's Super Mario Land launched with it.
