Yoichi Kotabe helped the development team of Super Mario Land 2 with Wario's final design. Wario went on to become the game's main antagonist by taking over Mario's castle, which met the staff team's initial vision of diverting from the conventional objectives established by previous Mario games. To Kiyotake's surprise, the idea to flip the 'M' seen on Mario's Cap to create a 'W' received extremely enthusiastic support from the rest of the staff. Kiyotake subsequently discussed his idea with his assistant character designer and co-director Takehiko Hosokawa, with whom Kiyotake normally sought approval before presenting an idea to the rest of the game's staff. Bluto is physically well-built, motivated by self-interests, and more cunning than his counterpart, Popeye. Kiyotake stated that Wario's relationship with Mario was inspired by the American comic book characters Popeye and Bluto. Wario's physical design and personality were based on the idea that a protagonist should have an arch-rival and nemesis. Before any actual character development, Wario's name was the first thing that was decided on, being derived from the Japanese word 'warui', meaning 'bad'. It was initially director Hiroji Kiyotake's idea to introduce Wario as a new character that fits this change in objective, although several rejected characters were presented earlier which no one took a liking to. Rather than having Mario fight for the benefit of someone else (such as Princess Daisy in Super Mario Land 2's precursor, and Princess Peach throughout other games), the staff wanted Mario to fight to win back something of his own. The staff team aimed for a 'change of pace', and to not be bound by the ideas which were continuously used in Mario games leading up to that time they desired to provide Mario with a new objective. The idea to introduce Wario as a new character originated during the development of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.
