Wario Cap
- “Wario, I found this cap in front ofthe castle a little while ago. I knew it was yours because of its distinctive...erm...aroma. Actually, it reeked pret-ty bad. I can't believe I touched it. You really should wash that thing more often. Anyways, here you go.”
- —Toad,Super Mario 64 DS
TheWario Cap (orWario's cap) isWario's traditional headwear. It appears in most games with Wario, but it is usually absent in theWarioWare series, as Wario wears a biking outfit in that series instead. LikeMario andLuigi, Wario has been seen wearing thecap since he wasa baby, as seen inYoshi's Island DS. Unlike theMario Cap, the Wario Cap usually serves no function other than for decorative purposes.
History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario 64 DS[edit]
InSuper Mario 64 DS, Wario's cap can be found and worn by eitherMario,Luigi, orYoshi to transform into Wario. Until he is unlocked, the only course his cap appears in is theHazy Maze Cave in all missions. If Wario loses his own cap, his defense and strength sharply decline, and he cannot pick up other characters' caps or turn intoMetal Wario. If the player collects aPower Star in a different course while the cap is still missing, Wario can retrieve his cap by talking to aToad (who will have found and be wearing it) in theMushroom Castle's lobby. The Toad says the cap "reeks pretty bad" and suggests that Wario should wash it more often.
Super Mario Odyssey[edit]
- “A cap bearing a distinctive W. It doesn't fit well and kind of chafes.”
- —Wario Cap description,Super Mario Odyssey
The Wario Cap can be obtained for Mario to wear inSuper Mario Odyssey. It can be either purchased from aCrazy Cap store or obtained through scanning a Warioamiibo.
Wario: Master of Disguise[edit]

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle[edit]

Appearance[edit]
The Wario Cap is a yellowcap, with a large blue "W"emblem inside a small white circle and a white rim. The Wario Cap previously appeared in different colors. In some segments ofWario's Woods, his cap appears purple, although in thethe SNES version, his cap appears yellow like his official artwork. InWario Land II andWario Land 3, the Wario Cap is depicted as white in-game due to the color limitations of theGame Boy Color. InSuper Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins andWario Land: Super Mario Land 3, his cap was gray due to the monochrome display of theGame Boy. InWario Land 4 andWario Land: Shake It!, his cap is depicted as yellow like his official artwork.
The cap has also been imitated on different headgear Wario has worn. Wario'sWareWare helmet is in the style of his cap with the white rim and blue "W" emblem. Wario's safari hat fromWario Land also has his signature blue "W" emblem.
