Wario is Nintendo's greedy, exaggerated rival to Mario, first appearing in the early 1990s in the Mario games, and his loud, theatrical voice has made him a natural fit for meme edits. Clips of Wario yelling circulate widely as a scream meme on soundboards and in short videos, where the joke is the extreme reaction to a minor loss. This version, tagged online as WTOGM for Wario Turns Off Game Mode, is shared for shutdown and rage moments and remains popular because the performance is instantly recognizable even without the original gameplay context.
