Mario and Wario (マリオとワリオ Mario to Wario) is a video game released for the Super Famicom in 1993 by Nintendo. The game was developed by second-party developer Game Freak, and is notable for its use of the SNES Mouse. Although the game was only released in Japan, it is entirely in English.
The premise of the game is that Wario has covered Mario's head with items that obscure his vision, such as a bucket, and the player must guide him to safety. The player controls Wanda using the SNES Mouse. With the click of the mouse, Wanda can do various things, such as damage enemies, turn Mario around, or affect other aspects of the environment, with the goal of guiding the continually moving Mario to Luigi, who can take off the respective item from Mario's head. At the end of each world, Wanda battles Wario, who pilots his plane across the sky. Other playable characters include Princess Peach and Yoshi, but the only difference between the three characters is their walking speed. Peach being the slowest, Mario being normal, and Yoshi being the fastest. However, the faster the character, the harder it is to maneuver them around.
