Wanda (Mario)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about a character from Mario games. For information on the Fairly Odd Parents character with the same name, see Cosmo and Wanda.

Wanda is the name of a fictional fairy featured in the Mario video game series. She first appeared in the Japanese-only Super Famicom release, Mario and Wario. In this game, the player controlled Wanda using the Super Famicom Mouse, providing a safe pathway for the aimlessly-wandering Mario, Princess Peach (called "Princess" in the game), and Yoshi, whose heads have been blinded by Wario.

Although Wanda's first appearance did not come to the United States, she reappeared in another SNES puzzle game, Wario's Woods, which was also the last (licensed) game released for the NES. There, she helped the Mushroom retainer Toad clear out monsters by providing him with bombs.

She is considered the first female character to appear as the only playable character in a Mario game years before Peach in "Super Princess Peach."
