Wario Coloring Pages

Free Wario Coloring Pages: 18 printable PDF designs featuring realistic character portraits, action poses, cartoon and funny expressions, and a chibi-style version. Each page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored online in the browser.

Wario first appeared in 1992’s Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins for the Game Boy, originally as a villain and arch-rival to Mario, before later games softened him into more of a greedy, self-interested anti-hero. Where Mario gets a power boost from mushrooms, Wario’s signature food is garlic, which restores his strength in the Wario Land games and, in the WarioWare series, transforms him into the super-powered Wario-Man. His look is instantly recognizable: purple overalls, a yellow shirt, green shoes, and a yellow cap bearing a “W,” which is simply Mario’s own “M” symbol flipped upside down.

This collection groups its 18 pages by style, from true-to-life character portraits to cartoon, funny, and chibi versions, so kids and fans can pick a page that matches their skill level. Each page is available as a downloadable PDF or as an online coloring tool that works directly in the browser.

What Is Inside This Collection

The 18 pages are split into four groups based on style and complexity, ranging from detailed, realistic portraits to simple cartoon shapes.

Realistic Wario Portraits

The largest group shows Wario in his standard game appearance, standing or facing forward. Use Purple for the overalls, Yellow for the shirt and cap brim, Green for the shoes, and White for the gloves, finishing with a small Yellow “W” on the cap and gloves.

Wario in Action and Poses

Three pages show Wario running, striking a pose, or riding in his signature kart. Keep his character colors consistent with the realistic group, and color the kart Purple with Yellow accents and trim to match Wario’s own palette.

Cartoon, Funny, and Happy Wario

Four pages exaggerate Wario’s expressions into funny or happy poses. Keep the same Purple, Yellow, and Green color scheme, but feel free to make the mustache and facial features extra bold to match the playful tone of these pages.

Chibi and Special Transformation

Two pages show Wario in a stylized chibi form with an oversized head, and one page shows him mid-transformation as “Flaming Wario.” Keep the chibi page in Wario’s usual colors, and use Orange and Red for the flames on the transformation page, layering the colors so the fire looks like it’s actively spreading.

What Wario Coloring Pages Do

Fine motor development. Wario’s cap, gloves, and overalls all carry a small “W” symbol that needs to stay a clean, separate color from the surrounding fabric, and keeping those small details crisp takes closer hand control than a single plain outfit. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7, and Wario’s symbol-marked outfit gives that practice a genuinely detailed small-shape challenge.

A rival with his own kind of power-up. While Mario grows strong from mushrooms, Wario gets his strength from garlic, a detail that shows up throughout the Wario Land games. That gives parents and teachers a natural opening to talk about how different characters in the same game world can have entirely different sources of power, even when they’re rivals.

Anxiety reduction through focus. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions. The bold, simple shapes across the cartoon and funny Wario pages offer a steady, low-pressure coloring task that suits that kind of unhurried session well.

Practice with color-coded storytelling. Because the Flaming Wario page shows a real in-game transformation rather than a made-up scene, coloring it accurately, with flames spreading across the body rather than staying in one spot, gives colorists a reason to think about how color and shape together can tell a small story on the page.

How to Color Wario Pages Well

• Overalls: Use Crayola Purple for a clean, even base across the overalls.
• Shirt and cap: Color the shirt and cap brim Yellow, and add a small Yellow “W” to the cap and gloves once the base color is filled in.
• Shoes and gloves: Use Green for the shoes and White for the gloves, keeping both colors distinct from the purple overalls.
• Wario’s kart: Match the kart to Wario’s own colors, Purple for the body and Yellow for the trim and accents.
• Cartoon and funny expressions: Keep the same purple-and-yellow palette, but push the facial features and mustache a little bolder to match the exaggerated tone.
• Flaming Wario: Layer Orange as a base with Red accents where the fire is most intense, spreading the flame colors unevenly across the body rather than in one flat block.
