Differences from Brawl
Despite being a high tier character in Brawl, Wario has received couple of buffs to his recovery, as increases in his power and speed, making him more able to handle multiple opponents. Some of his animations are also different. However, he also got few nerfs to balance.

Attributes

 * Dash is faster.
 * Wario's animations are slightly more fluid than in Brawl, most notably in his walking and dash animations.
 * Many moves make Wario's limbs grow larger, increasing his range.

Ground Attacks

 * Neutral Attack has less startup lag, and the second hit makes Wario's range grow slightly larger, increasing its range.
 * Forward Tilt is faster, with Wario no longer spinning his fist before throwing the punch.
 * Down Tilt is much faster.
 * Up Tilt has much higher range, with Wario's hands growing larger. It also has larger hitboxes at the start that allows to hit enemies on his sides.
 * Forward Smash has a different animation, being a backhand punch similar to Mario and Luigi's old Forward Smashes in the N64 version. It has higher range and knockback than his old shoulder bash, however it no longer grants super armor frames upon release.
 * Up Smash has new animation, where he headbutts upwards, in a arc, similar to Mario, Luigi and Dr. Mario's Up Smashes. It is now a single hit attack and has much higher range, with Wario's head growing drastically. Additionally, it causes much more knockback, being able to reliably KO.
 * Down Smash has a different animation, with Wario spinning more forcefully, with his hands spread. He also faces the camera more. It has much higher range and less ending lag.
 * Dash Attack causes slightly higher knockback.

Aerial Attacks

 * Neutral Aerial has more range, but has increased landing lag.
 * Forward Aerial has higher range, with Wario's foot growing larger. It also has less ending lag.
 * Back Aerial a slightly different animation, with Wario throwing himself back more forcefully, waving his hands backwards. It has more range and less ending and landing lag.
 * Up Aerial has higher range, with Wario's hands growing larger. However, it deals less damage and has increased landing lag.
 * Down Aerial has slightly higher landing lag, with Wario's burying his head on the ground.

Grabs and Throws

 * Forward and Back Throw have swapped places, matching Mario, Luigi and Dr. Mario's.
 * Down Throw causes more knockback.

Special Attacks

 * Chomp now heals Wario for 1% when he eats items, including his bike. Eating items with Chomp also makes Wario Waft charge faster. However, he cannot hold opponents as long as he could in Brawl. He also faces the camera more.
 * Wario Bike is faster and causes increased knockback, specially when performing a wheelie. Also, he no longer falls from the bike when turning too fast, and can only be knocked down by received damage.
 * However, the bike has much lower priority, being easily destroyed by projectiles while it could sustain and shrug them off in Brawl. Additionally, the wheels can no longer be picked up and thrown when the bike is destroyed, instead disappearing upon touching the ground. On the other hand, Wario can eat the wheels with Chomp before they touch the ground.
 * Additionally, if the player taunts while on the bike, Wario now picks on his nose after doing his signature "Wario" movement.
 * Corkscrew covers higher vertical range and can sweetspot the edge now. It also causes more knockback.
 * Wario Waft deals lower damage, cover less vertical range and no longer grants Wario super armor frames. Additionally, Wario physically inflates in the startup, increasing his frame, as well his hurtbox, for a moment.
 * Wario-Man's duration is shorter, and with the changes on his Forward Smash, he no longer slides along the ground when using the attack.

Normal

 * Neutral Attack: Throws a punch.
 * Neutral Combo: Throws another punch. One of the shortest combos in the game.
 * Dash Attack: Dives to the ground headfirst and slides a short distance.
 * Side Tilt: Throws a strong punch.
 * Up Tilt: Throws both of his hands upward.
 * Down Tilt: Pokes his hand forward at ground level.

Smash

 * Side Smash: Attacks with an extra-large fist.
 * Up Smash: Stands on tiptoe and does a headbutt.
 * Down Smash: Sweeps the ground on his back.

Wario
''A living embodiment of gross, this villain hates Mario and loves money. He claims to have known Mario since childhood, but who can tell if that's true? In Smash Bros., he's a seriously agile heavyweight fighter. He can store up his trademark Wario Waft for explosive results. Did I mention he's gross?''

Wario (Alt)
''With his Chomp special, Wario can wolf down almost anything! Hold the button, and he'll keep his mouth open. Also, if you gobble up healing items, they'll work better! When using his Wario Bike side special, you can jump off, pick it up, and throw it. If you take one thing away from this, it's JUMP OFF. Don't ride off the stage.''

Wario + Bruiser
''For most racers the finish line is the goal, but if you combine Wario with this bad boy, the game takes on a whole new meaning. And that meaning is to crash into everyone else. Behind the wheel of the Bruiser, Wario turns Mario Kart into a contact sport.''

Trivia

 * Wario is the first, and so far, only character to be Default in his first appearance, but unlockable in his second.
 * Unlike Brawl, Wario just has 8 costumes (like there are suppose to be) as he has 4 WarioWare colors and 4 of his plumber outfit colors, unlike Brawl where he had 12 colors instead of the regular 6 colors. This makes Wario the only character to have a decreased number of available costumes in SSBWU/3DS.
