What is it with you guys? It's not like I'm obsessed with him, but I still find it really weird that I've been through like 10 pages in the Marioverse board without even finding a single topic about Wart!

I'm talking about this guy:

How is it even possible for you guys to not talk about SMB2's main villain for that long?

Anyway, I think this guy is a really neat villain. A reason I love him is how he's like the counterpart of Bowser.

Instead of breathing fire, he spits bubbles. Instead of having red hair and a spiky green shell, He has a yellow crown and a blue robe. Instead of being a super strong guy, he is weak and uses magic (well not really to attack you but to create some of his sidekicks like Fryguy. He could use it in fights). Instead of being sometimes vulnerable to your hits, he's poisonous, so you can't even attack him yourself!

And also while Bowser is weak to things like lava and bombs, Wart is weak to... veggies. That's hilarious!

He's my favourite obscure Mario character (the best obscure one, but not the best one ever), since as a kid I liked him a lot (SMB2 was the only game I had where Bowser wasn't the bad guy), and especially since from the main Super Mario series (1, 2, 3, world, 64, etc) he's the only main villain who isn't Bowser! I think he has potential to appear in newer games and be more fleshed out, because yeah, I'll admit he doesn't have a personality as great as Bowser's, but that's not really his fault.

So yeah, what do you think of him?
 
It'll be pretty swell if he returned, but I don't miss him overall. I feel he's too similar to Bowser. I like to see more of Tryclyde or Mouser though.
 
So Super Mario land 1 and 2 just didn't happen then.

Also Wart is lame. Just Bowser but a frog with bubbles.
 
I love any references to SMB2 because that is my favorite classic Mario platformer

Though I do prefer Tryclyde or Mouser over Wart. To me, Wart is just frog Bowser who hates vegetables. Not very compelling.

How are these two things similar?


I dare say they are the complete opposite of each other.
 
How are they not?
They are practically in the same pose for crying out loud.
 
Wart is like the bootleg version of Bowser , kinda how Daisy was used randomly instead of Peach in Super Mario Land.

Okay yeah maybe the pose and claws are a bit similar.


But everything else about them doesn't look really that alike at all.


Also sorry I forgot about the land games, but weren't those non-canon?
 
They are about as canon as anything else in Mario.

And Wart is just Bowser but a frog and bubbles instead of fire. His henchmen are more memorable than he is.

What I mean is what about what about all the qualities I mentioned that make him the opposite? I said more than just "evil frog that spits bubbles".
 
Those are very minor things.

Tatanga has more going for him and he's even lamer.
