I'm serious. I don't know how far through development the idea actually went before they scrapped Wario. Might have been just part of a few brainstorming sessions, or Miyamoto might have scrapped the idea himself after observing detailed 3D renderings of Wario's farts. There were probably other reasons too, but that was definitely one of them for some reason.The Pinray said:Are you kidding around or is that serious?Hal10k said:Supposedly, Nintendo wanted to have Wario as one of the playable characters in New Super Mario Brothers Wii, but decided against it because he had been given a fart attack in Super Smash Brothers, and they couldn't figure out a way to balance the game while retaining the fart attack.
It was farts or nothing, and Nintendo is not a company that compromises its principles.
