Wario was introduced by Nintendo in Super Mario Land 2 in 1992 as a greedy rival to Mario, and his exaggerated voice lines became a staple of later Mario Party and Mario Kart games. Clips of his defeat shouts were ripped from gameplay and shared on soundboards and in edits, where the scream meme format thrives on overreacting to minor losses. The sound stays popular because Wario never loses quietly, making even a tiny in game failure sound like a major dramatic event.
