Personally, I'm more of a Wario guy myself. I didn't care for him when I first saw him in Mario Kart 64 (I thought he was just some generic villain that only wants to cause others a hard time), but when I played Wario Land 3 for the first time many years ago, I actually found out that there's more than meets the eye about him. Not only does he have more powerful abilities than Mario (not shrinking when getting touched by a blunt enemy is one of them), but the way he changes is shape through attacks is very clever. Also, I liked the concept of collecting little trinkets in each level that open new areas and activate new events elsewhere on the island. After that, I went ahead to know Wario better and he's one of my favorite characters of all time.
