TheGhosts of Christmas are characters that appear in the GermanClub Nintendo comic "Warios Weihnachtsmärchen". They are based on the ghosts inCharles Dickens'A Christmas Carol, and they serve the same function: making the main character of the story (Wario) aware of his bad behavior in order to turn him into a better man.
Characters
Ghost of Past
Geist der Vergangenheit (Ghost of Past), resemblingToad, appears when Wario is lying in bed, after he had cold-heartedly firedBomberman out ofhis shop. The ghost shows Wario two events of his past: First, there is a scene with babyMario andWario on the beach, with the former having lots of friends around, while the latter is all alone due to his meanness. The second event isMario and Wario's graduation ball.Toadstool danced only with Mario, because he was much nicer than his rival. After he has seen these events, Wario admits that he has always been a bad man.
Ghost of Present
Geist der Gegenwart (Ghost of Present) resemblesLink and appears just after the Ghost of Past is gone. He takes Wario to Bomberman as well asKid Klown andKirby, all of which he has displeased the day before. After this experience, Wario asks how he can amend his behavior.
Ghost of Future
Geist der Zukunft (Ghost of Future) appears in form of theGrim Reaper, and takes Wario to a toy shop in the future. Two kids are asking forWario games, but are told that nobody would care about this "nasty guy" anymore. The children agree and decide to buy the latestSuper Mario game instead. Finally, the Ghost of Future invites Wario to a graveyard, where he finds his own forsaken grave. The ghost tells Wario what to do, and Wario follows his instructions: He rehires Bomberman, gives cookies to Kirby and Kid Klown, and joins Mario's Christmas party.
