Wart (known in Japan and in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening as Mamu) is the main antagonist of Super Mario Bros. 2. He is the leader of a gang known as the 8 bits and his major appearance centers around his efforts to conquer Subcon, a land of dreams. Wart's information in the game's instruction booklet states, "He is the most mischievous of all in the world of dreams. He created monsters by playing with the dream machine." To attack, Wart can spit streams of bubbles or jets of water.
General information[]
Physical description[]
Wart is a large, green frog with a big white round belly, a general body shape resembling most frogs, a vaguely crocodilian snout filled large white teeth, and large claws on his two-toed feet and four-fingered hands. The Nintendo Comics System depicts him with scales and even a spiked tail (similar to Bowser), giving him a closer resemblance to a crocodile or alligator, rather than a frog. He is typically depicted as wearing a blue cape (light brown in Super Mario All-Stars). He also wears a crown, a large pendant on a gold necklace, and gold bracelets.
Personality[]
Very little of his personality has been revealed beyond the fact that he is willing to cause mayhem and destruction in order to achieve his goal of ruling Subcon. However, BS Super Mario USA does suggest that he is cunning and patient enough to bide his time between attacks, and the fact that he stole all the Mario statues may indicate a spiteful side to his personality.
