<p align="center">Wario was long overdue to appear in Smash, but when he was announced many people, myself included, were suprised to see him covered in his Warioware garb instead of the traditional overalls. Mario himself has been seen wearing Wario’s trademark yellow and purple outfit, but todays update has thrown things a little, in more ways than one.</p>

<!--more-->
<p align="center">While everyone can change colours, Wario has a suprise. He has a completly different costume.</p>

<p align="center">And they’ve got to….almost too great of….detail….
“F-flab is poking out from his sides”
<img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/wario_071224c-l.jpg" alt="Zomg, wario's promoting childhood obesety! :o" />
<p align="center">He plays the same as Warioware Wario (Henceforth refered to as WWW) but is just a new costume. You choose him like you would a different colour by pressing the X or Y button or “poking” his picture. He even has a unique picture on the select screen.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/wario_071224d-l.jpg" alt="I'm typing this up on xmas morning and I haven't eaten yet. No joke for this one!" /></p>
<p align="center">There’s even different alt colours for his new costume of Wario’s.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/wario_071224e-l.jpg" alt="I'm sooo calling dibs on the Black and Cream coloured costume!" /></p>
<p align="center">Before people start getting hyped up about every character having alternate costumes (Mario as Doc Mario, Pokemon Trainer having female versions, ect) Sakurai has ruled it out.</p>

<blockquote>
<p align="center">Everyone can change colors, of course. But Wario alone is special</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="center">So quite a suprising update! Will there be anything exciting tomorow? Will there be some minor update such as <a href="http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee8/Green-clad_gamer_dude/SmashUpdateTurningontheTV.jpg">This One?</a> Lets wait and see.</p>
<p align="center">Regardless, Happy Christmas all!</p>

I knew alternate costumes were just a far off dream anyways. I don't know why people expected them.:ohwell:

It's nice to see Wario got his classic look, though! ^_^

Well, alt. costumes were expected as many felt it'd add quite a bit, it is easy to implement, would add more things to unlock, and just all around... there really isn't a good reason to not include alternate costumes. Well, not one I see; clearly Sakurai thought otherwise... grr.

Thanks for taking time from your busy holiday season for posting this thread, Mic!

Yeah, this was a pretty cool update, IMO.

Though, to be honest, I think Wario's WarioWare outfit is cooler. :p

This is one of those things where Sakurai messes with our heads.

"Are alternate costumes confirmed or deconfirmed??"

Inevitably producing more speculation and more hype for the game's release.

Let's just hope we don't come up with good ideas as a result of that speculation that Sakurai didn't think of.

Sakurai is just in love with Wario. He has been given three distinct playable costumes if you include his final smash. Plus he gets the alternate colors. This guy is like a freakin chameleon.

people who say that this is a bad christmas eve update is dumb. This is not about reliogen Sakurai does not favor one reliogen. if he didnt make the 8 days of honnakah amazing y should he christmas. he most likely doesn't even celebrate it so saying this is a bad x mas eve update is rediculous because ur getting presents omarrow so shutuplol




however i do think his WAS an amazing update....not a fan of the fat flab

WOW you butchered the English language.

But you are right about one thing: So what if it's X-Mas? Sakurai treats every day on the Dojo like any other day.

Looking for our princess in another castle.
Of course Wario is the only one to get an alternate costume. He's the only character to have two completely different costumes without actually being a different character. Plus, he also is equally famous in both costumes.

I wouldn't have minded those Santa costumes, though.

I loved this update! So awesome...I was always a HUGE fan of the original Wario Land games (and Wario World was awesome too ^^) so I was so excited to see this. This just makes me want to use Wario even more! Oh, and did anyone notice that on the image for Overalls Wario on the character select screen he's doing his Wario Land 4 pose that he did after beating a boss? I love Sakurai's attention to detail ^^

I guarantee an Event match where mario (and luigi if on co-op) have too fight wario (overalls) while waluigi pops in very often...

Oh my god. He does it so much you'd think I would catch on by now. I thought it was some kind of term for flab in that specific area, which kind of disturbed me that they would have such a thing. LOL Man, I'm an idiot.

I think that the "Dark Link" and "Dark Fox" colors can be counted as minor alt costumes. It's one thing to change the color, but to actually go further and modify them, id est: Fox's blaster, Link's face (well maybe this one doesn't count.)
