Miyamoto’s autism over not using anything Yokoi was involved in is the reason why the WL series was retired; with the exception of Daisy who they made into a OC lovers interest for Luigi.

Employees after Yokoi don’t even know who Wario is. I remember IGN interviewing the dude who made Mario 3D Land for the 3DS and when asked why they didn’t make Wario as the villain instead of bowser, the dude literally said he doesn’t know who wario is. Same dude who’s last game before that was Joy Mech Fight

Similar looks, absence for a chunk of time filled in by syrup. Would also be funny just to have Mario's old flame and "damsel in distress" no one cares about anymore just becoming a criminal for a short while since no one cares about her in the series anymore. Explains why should would be jealous enough to steal a statue of Toadstool and that she has enough carisma to form a gang which they later uses when she reforms from her "bad girl" phase to go and run for mayor.

Likewise, Waluigi isnt human. Its a reincarnation of the final boss of Virtual Boy Wario Land which reformed into a distorted version of the last being to destroy it and its some eldritch Mario world demon like Rudy the Clown and the Golden Diva.

They all were introduced in games that starred Mario as the protagonist.
Nintendo officially brands them as Mario characters.
Much of their merchandise is labeled under "Super Mario"
The overwhelming majority of their game appearances are Mario games.

The only people who think they aren't Mario characters are Smashfags. Nintendo hasn't officially viewed them this way in a long time and this is evident by their official sources. Literally on their very website they are called Mario characters.

Just because you get big enough to have your own series once upon a time doesn't for some reason stop you from being Mario character. That makes no sense and is illogical. They are offshoots of the main property which is Mario and their games are Mario spin-offs. Mario is the main property they are all sub-franchises to.

This point is especially silly in the modern era when almost all their spin-off games have completely slowed down and been phased out, while their appearances in Mario games and merchandise have only gotten more prevalent.

I say this entirely sincerely.

Her best chance of ever showing up again is if the Mario Movie is a MASSIVE success.

Nintendo is letting them use a literal who like Foreman Spike. Universal has their finger on the trigger for a Donkey Kong Country and Luigi's Mansion spinoff if Mario is a success. They want their partnership with Nintendo to be a long running blockbuster franchise.

So the best bet is the series does well enough for Wario to appear in a Mario movie and then get his own spinoff.

My dream revival of Wario would be Wario World + Super Mario 3D World - essentially Wario World 2, but with the co-op elements of 3D World with up to 4 characters, Wario, Waluigi, Syrup and Mona.

Have the Black Jewel or the various demon final bosses from the Land games like VB, 3 and 4 all working together or under some higher demon entity that take over and warp Diamond City into some fucked up reality space separated by stages or maybe do a open-world-ish hub area you start in and pick a direction to go in to defeat one of the lesser demons. Maybe have the rest of the Ware cast appear as mid-boss cameos who are possessed.

Now, if they want to go the extra mile, take a chance, and make it a Conker's Bad Fur Day with a HARD T rating or maybe even an M. Not saying they have to go full hard M, but ive always felt Wario could work well in the same style of humor as Conker, though less reference-y. Maybe more so in the crudeness and violence of something like Dr. Muto or Gex, go with the demon idea and have worlds based off the 7 deadly sins, like a casino or lightly implied love hotel. More violent ways to kill enemies, some more crass humor, some lite titillation like breast physics on the girls. They would have to do a severe disconnect from anything Mario related in it, but if Mario is their clean Mickey Mouse, Wario could be something like that new Rescue Rangers movie, a bit more risque and not having to be so clean. Just make it demented and warped and completely un-Mario like.

That sounds like a good idea if they wanted to give Syrup her own starring roll as a master thief breaking in to steal shit. Wario, while a thief, I feel would not have it in his character to plan shit out in intricate plans and would just use brute strength to smash his way to the treasure.
