Costume Express, the Exclusive Retailer of Wario costumes

New Berlin, WI - Costume Express today announced the arrival of its exclusive adult Wario costumes. Now, almost all of the great characters from the Super Mario Bros. family of games are available online at CostumeExpress.com: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Toad, and, finally, Wario.

With his purple suspenders and yellow shirt and hat, Wario is an obvious reference to Mario himself. In fact, his name, according to IGN.com, is a combination of the Japanese adjective for bad, warui, and Mario’s name. Created as an unrelated exaggerated nemesis to Mario, the character was first featured in 1992. Since then, Wario has become as synonymous with Nintendo as the rest of his Super Mario brethren. The character has been featured in numerous games, including the popular Mario Kart and Mario Party series of games. He also served as the primary anti-hero in both the Wario Land and Warioware series of games.

"The characters from Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. games make great Halloween costumes," said Dotty Zolper, merchandise manager for adult costumes. "With Wario now available, it gives our customers more costume options, especially for group or family costumes."

CostumeExpress.com carries costumes in adult and kids sizes for most of the Super Mario Bros. characters. However, the new Wario costume comes only in adult sizes.

In addition to costumes, Costume Express' sister site, BirthdayExpress.com, also is the exclusive online source for Super Mario Bros. party supplies. Costume Express is your ultimate destination for Super Mario Bros. costumes and party supplies.
