Character of the Week #3

Metal Mario · 08-01-2009, 11:59 PM

Wart

First Appearance: Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES, 1988)
Latest Appearance: Super Mario Advance (GBA, 2001)

Wart - a fat, ugly toad with a severe aversion to vegetables - is the tyrant who has conquered the dream world of Subcon in SMB 2. Though many characters from SMB 2 have gone on to assume prominent roles in the Mario universe (Shy Guy, Snifit, Pokey, Bob-Omb, and Birdo being prime examples), Wart has yet to make his triumphant return. Wart did, however, make a cameo appearance in the Game Boy's The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. Here he appears as Mamu (the name by which Wart has always been known in Japan), and teaches Link a valuable Ocarina song.

Particularly notable is the fact that both SMB 2 and Link's Awakening take place within dreams. Coincidence? Maybe. Or perhaps Wart does not exist on the physical plane at all, and is but a phantom of the collective unconscious, traveling as he pleases from one dream to the next, assuming different roles in those dreams as he pleases.

Wart exists in dreams because of the children: no veggies.

Here's a somewhat disturbing picture for y'all.

It's disturbing in the same way that the ending to Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof is. You know that the villain is getting exactly what he deserves, but.........damn.
