Ed: They are Treasures Hunters, Mighty Powerhouses, and today, they have a score to settle.

Demo: Is about time we have a good ol' fist to fist fight!

Yang: I totally agreed, Wario, the counterpart of Mario!

Ed: And Knuckles the echidna, the former rival of Sonic, and for this fight, both fighters will go gladiator style, which means no power-ups, Wario-Man, emeralds, shields or Hyper Knuckles.

Demo: He's Ed, I'm Demo and she's Yang, "QUEEN" Yang to you!

Yang: And is our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills to find out, who is the strongest powerhouse, in a Death Battle!


Wario

Ed: Mario, the greatest hero in the Mushroom Kingdom, being known by taking any kind of enemy that threatens his homeland, who would have a grudge against him for doing the right thing?

Demo: Only one man comes to mind, his fat-ass, ugly face, overweight, greedy smile, money lover, garlic smell of a counterpart, Wario.


-Background

-Name: Wario

-Height: 170 cm

-Weight: 308 pounds

-CEO of WarioWare Co.

-Loves garlic and money

-One of the seven stars childers

-Apparently, his Mario cousin

-An excellent negotiator?


Yang: Wario is the exact opposite of Mario, really fat, wants everything for himself, doesn't care about others and is really evil.

Ed: And believed or not, he's one of the legendary seven stars children's destined for greatness.

Demo: If by greatness, you mean getting a magical lamp with a genie inside that grant him a castle with lots of money, got himself a magical bag that is full of unlimited gold coins, a gigantic successful company and a beautiful secretary that has no problem, with your greediness, smell and attitude, then yes that is greatness.

Yang: What? How in hell can a beautiful woman work for him, let alone with his personality?

Demo:...I'm sorry Yang, we couldn't get that kind of info.

Ed: Wario would do anything for money, and when I mean anything, I Mean it. His confident enough to obtain all the money in the world, and has gone into adventures to do so, but of course, he doesn't go unprepared.


-Power and Arsenal

-Jumping skills: 22.3 feet

-Super Strength

-Super Durability

-His Teeth

-Motorbikes

-Wrestling moves

-Super Dash and Elbow Tackle

-Corkscrew Attack

-Wario Waft


Ed: Despise being fat, Wario has an amazing jumping skill of 22.3 feet, not as great as Mario, Luigi or Yoshi, but very impressive. He also has super strength and durability.

Demo: And he can use his own teeth as weapons, he can chomp everything; cars, crate, food, bombs and missiles (despise that causes him damage to himself), he doesn't just eat them, they can heal him from wounds and damage, that's badass. *Chomp, Chomp, Motherfucker!*

Yang: He (somehow) also has an infinite amount of motorbikes (that somehow they come out of his butt), which he can drive and run over through his enemies, making them get stuck on the ground giving the chance, he can go faster with it, but can't turn around. Now, I won't judge his motorbike design, but I wish I could also have an infinite amount of my sweet *Bumblebee*

Ed: He also uses wrestling moves, such as pile-driving and spinning his enemies, he can also grounds pounds, just like Mario, to crush his enemies. He also has two unique moves, the Elbow Tackle, where he charges in with his elbow out, hitting anything or anyone on his way (Crushing/Killing them giving the chances) and the Corkscrew attack, where he spins rapidly off the ground, the faster his spins, the more damaged he makes.

Demo: But, his most dangerous weapon is his own Farts…...His Farts! Sure, he can stun enemies with his smell, but when he charges up, it would let out an atomic fart bang! Is like getting hit with a powerful RPG to the face and believe me, after that, you would which you were dead!

Yang: That's the most disgusting, yet awesome thing I have ever heard, and that's coming from me!

Ed: Even so, Wario has proved to be one of the strongest Mario characters.


-Feats

-Help Mario and friends to save Princess Peach

-Survive getting burn and crush

-Survive a Bomb to the face

-Survive Mario Party

-Lift up Dinomighty

-Defeat Dinosaurs, Captain Syrup, the Golden Diva, Rudy the clown and the Shake King


Yang: Even though their enemies, Wario has help Mario save Princess Peach, he has survived being burn, getting squash completely, survived a bomb to the face and survive one of the most dangerous games of all times, Mario Party. He lifted up and throw Dinomighty who weighs 278,000 pounds (130 tons for those that are lost) and has defeated Dinosaurs, the pirate Captain Syrup, the Golden Diva, Ruby the Clown (who is basically a god) and the Shaken King (who is basically an undefeated, unkillable God!)

Ed: While Wario has proved to be strong, his lack of conscience is the lead for his greatest downfall.


-Weaknesses

-His Ego

-Lazy

-Without his motorbike, he isn't the fastest around

-A Cheater


Ed: His ego can best him from time to time, he's lazy (Obviously), without his motorbike, he's slow than a turtle coming out of his chair and the most disgraceful thing of him…...Wario is a cheater, with money, his company, in the battlefield, anything! Wario sometimes cheats to win.

Demo: Still, he only needs two things to KO your lights off: his two fists. It makes you wonder why hasn't he being able to defeat Mario…. Maybe because he cheats.

Wario: "I'm-a Wario, I'm-a gonna win!".


Knuckles

Ed: 400 years ago, the 'echidnas' were the most respected race, thanks to their advanced technology and talent to work, but that all change when the knuckles tribe became desperate to control the world.

Demo: And how are they going to do that you may ask? By, obtaining the all mighty Master Emerald, too bad they forgot that it was guard by a living water creature name Chaos, and he killed them all. Chaos would have gone on a rampage, if it wasn't for a young echidna girl that seal him on the Master Emerald, forcing the echidnas home into the sky becoming Angel Island, a floating island that would stay put as long as the emerald stay on his place.

Yang: Centuries later, one final descendant of the knuckle clan remain and his name was Knuckles…. I know, I don't see the joke either.


-Background

-Name: Knuckles

-Height: 3'7'' 110 cm

-Weight: 88 lbs (140 kg)

-Guardian of the Master Emerald

-Doesn't chuckle

-Sole survivor of the echidna race

-Actually haves spikes on his knuckles


Demo: Being the sole survivor of his race, Knuckles stay hidden from the world, until Dr. Eggman came to 'Angel Island', trick Knuckles into believing that a blue hedgehog and a fox with two tails would steal the Emerald, he went to stop them and Eggman stole the Emerald for himself. Remember kids, don't trust strangers, especially one that has a body that looks like an egg and screams '~Evil~' all over his face.

Ed: You'll be happy to know that after a beat-down from Sonic, he and Sonic work together to defeat Eggman and return the Emerald to his rightful place. This day's Knuckles tries to protect the Emerald…...yes people, he tries, luckily the Emerald share some of his power to Knuckles so he can do two things: help him found the Master Emerald when it has been robbed and grant him strength for his ancient art.

Yang: The ancient art of Punching that is!


-Power and Arsenal

-Super Strength

-Expert on digging

-Gliding

-Limited Pyrokinesis and Geokinesis

-Shovel Claws


Yang: Thanks to his super-strength, Knuckles answer for everything is punching. (Ed: Like SOMEONE I know) A rock on the way, punch it! Climbing a wall, punch it! Falling down a trap, punch it! Punching not working? ...Bitch! You keep punching it!

Demo: His Punches are so strong, they create explosion by hydrating in the air, he can also glide in the sky by catching air between his dreadlocks, which makes no sense to me at all, and with the spikes on his hands, he can dig through the ground, and with his Shovel Claws, he can even dig through solid metal.

Ed: Even though it comes from the Master Emerald power, it has help Knuckles into becoming one of the strongest characters in the Sonic Universe.


-Feast

-Has go toe-to-toe with Sonic

-Fast enough to outrun machine guns and to cut holes in the ground

-Defeat Super Mecha Sonic

-Punch the ground with enough force to trigger a volcanic eruption

-Punch a remote control on the moon that cause it to move


Ed: Knuckles has gone one-on-one with Sonic, his fast enough to out run machine guns and to cut holes on the ground and has defeated Mecha Sonic on super form.

Yang: However, his most impressive feast are that with a single punch of a force of 3.9 megatons, he caused a volcano to erupt, and punch a control remote on the moon that cause it to return to his normal place when Eggman move it.

Demo: I swear, there are more people doing something on the moon than killing a god!

Ed: But having all this doesn't let him win everything, especially since his greatest weakness is his own brain.


- Weakness

-Has an ego too

-Jumps into fights without thinking

-Very stupid

-Easy to trick


Yang: Just like Wario, Knuckles has an ego of his own, he enters in a fight without thinking a plan of attack (Ed: Sounds familiar.) and between all of his friends, he's the far stupid of all of them, I mean, I understand that he doesn't know from left to right, but to fall over the same lies by the same guy over and over again?

Demo: Stupid or Dumb, Knuckles is clearly one dangerous character, seriously, it makes me wonder how the hell did the knuckles tribe die so easily.

Knuckle: "All right, let's do this!"


Ed: Alright, the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all.

Demo: Will Wario put the last Echidna on a "smelly" situation?

Yang: Or will Knuckles punch out the yellow counterpart lights off?

Well get ready, for a Death Battle!


Angel Island, a floating land with a beautiful view, the wind flows, the birds sing and the sound of the waterfall was as calm as the ocean, like we said. Everything was calm… until the sound of a motorbike passes through, breaking the calmness in the air. A yellow bike was being drive by a fat man with a yellow hat, with a big "W" on the center, a zigzag mustache, purple overalls and green elf boots. Wario drives through this island after in search of a gem that he hears so much about, being a treasure hunter and all, he has been searching for this island for three days and now he's here, looking for it. After a few minutes, he founds a large tower with a lot of stairs going to the top. As he gets close to the tower, he parks his motorbike and start- wait a minute, Wario, what are you doing?

Wario: "Me, the Great Wario? Walking up stairs? Ha, keep-a dreaming sucker!"

Wario uses his motorbike to drive through the stairs up to the top of the tower. Once on the top, Wario's eyes become shining stars, right in front of him was a large emerald in the form of a diamond, it must worth at least hundreds of coins. Wario was getting greedy.

Wario: " Wahahahaha, now this, is what I call a gem!"

Wario gets off his bike and gets close to the gem, not noticing a punch that it was coming at him to the face, sending him flying right next to his bike, as he gets up, he sees a red echidna walking up to him, it had gloves in both of his hands and spikes on it, his eyes were purple and he wears some red shoes with some sort of "lego block" in top of it. He had an amusing smile on his face.

Knuckles: "Really Eggman? Now you're sending people to do your dirt job? As if Rouge wasn't enough."

Wario (getting up): "You! (points at Knuckles) You there to-a touch and intervene in my-a way!"

Knuckles: "Well it is my job to protect this emerald."

Wario: "Grrrrr, and here I thought I got-an easy one!"

Knuckles: "Well fat-so, you want this gem, is going to be through me, of course, seeing your body, you won't last three minute".

Wario: "Wahahahahaha, you think you can beat the mighty Wario! What a laugh!"

Knuckles: "Says the guy who smell like garlic and stinks like garbage".

Wario: "...Oh. It. Is. Own, red!"

Both take their battle pose.


Rivalry Engaged!

FIGHT!


Knuckles attacks first by punching Wario with a fast punch, which sent him flying at his bike and start rolling down the stairs to end on the ground below. Wario stand up from ground and looks up to see Knuckles gliding the stairs in full speed, with a quick reaction, Wario jumps backwards as Knuckles punches the ground were Wario was. The yellow plumber sent a punch at Knuckles face, making contact and catching him off guard, the Wario grabs the red echidna through his legs and starts to spin him around, with enough speed he sent Knuckles flying through the air into the starts to laugh.

Wario: "Wahahahaha, you never stood a chance against me, red!"

Wario laughs and starts show off his muscles, not seeing that something was coming at from the ground. Without warning, Knuckles comes out of the ground and uppercuts Wario in the chin, followed by a barrage of punches and finishing by grabbing Wario's overalls and send him into the ground causing all his upper body to be stuck underground, Wario tries to get out of the ground, while Knuckles just got the brilliant idea to use the body as a punching bag and send several punches at the stomach of the plumber (...I don't about you guys, but I got a BAD feeling about this.) After several punches, Knuckles goes behind Wario and starts to remove him from the ground, (Ok, I DEFINITELY have a bad feeling about this.) he removes him off the ground, only to be received by with a stinky fart to his face, causing the echidna to turn green and let go of Wario, taking the opportunity, the yellow plumber charges at Knuckles with an Elbow Tackle and rams him at a wall of the tower and starts a barrage of punches, he head-butt and grabs him and send him to the air. He jumps in the air and start his Corkscrew attack on Knuckles, spinning faster, finishing by grabbing him as they fall and pile-driving him to the ground, making Knuckles upper body to be stuck on the ground. (Karma?) Wario start an Elbow attack barrage from left to right, until he trips, he stands up to see that Knuckles legs to be gone, just then, Knuckles comes out from underground from behind him he Suplex him and then, with enough precision, he punch Wario so hard, an explosion sent Wario off the screen, Knuckles starts to run, only to be hit and taken by Wario's bike, faster than Mega Man sending a Crash struggles in the front of the bike as he watches Wario show off by standing on top of the seat, forming a big drop of water on Knuckles head.

Knuckles (thinking): "As if Sonic taunts weren't enough".

At the right moment, Knuckles puts his feet on the ground and stopping the bike with his hands and sending Wario flying through the air, (Remember kids, bike or car, always look in front of you, it might save your life) Wario rolls through the ground as Knuckles picks up his bike and send it flying at Wario, who gets up and turn around and sees his bike coming at him, Wario waves his hands in panic, until he opens his mouth and swallows the entire bike with one big bite, surprising the red echidna.

Knuckles: "What the-?! Did you just eat your own bike?!".

And then Wario drives another bike through Knuckles, sticking him on the ground.

Knuckles: "And now he has another bike?!".

Wario runs over him several times, until Knuckles decide to go underground, leaving a hole where he stood and causing Wario's bike front wheel to get stuck on it, getting Wario angry.

Wario: "You little runt! Come-an out of there!"

No response, then Wario's stomach starts to growl, making Wario smile.

Wario: "Well then, looks like we are getting you out, MY way!"

We go to the underground as we see Knuckles digging a tunnel, suddenly his surrounding starts to turn green as his nose picks up a horrible smell makes his face green as the green cloud consume him. We return to the surface as we see Wario removing his butt from the hole and starts to scratch his butt and an explosion went off inside the hole.

Wario: "Ha, serve him right for meddling with me-a, the all Mighty Wario" (turns to to the tower) Now, time to get me-a gem!".

Wario starts to walk a few meters, but stop when he heard a rumble behind him, he turns around and his eyes widened, Knuckles appear with a giant rock over his hands and head and launch it at Wario, who start screaming and panic as the rock got closer and then, it crush him. Knuckles breath as he fall to one knee as sweat falls from his forehead. He pick himself up and walks pass the rock as he smile.

Knuckles: "Looks like you weren't as strong as you thought you were."

He starts to walk back to the tower, not noticing that the rock start moving, but he did stop when he heard something being removed, he turned around and saw Wario getting the rock off of him, blood coming out of his mouth, a few of his teeth were missing and his left arm was holding his right arm. Both of them look at each other; Knuckles, who was covered in a horrible smell and was all tired, Wario, who was bleeding, and his badly injured. Anger was rising between them as they start to run at each other with their fist ready to swing. They both got closer, you could see a red fire forming on Knuckles fist and in Wario's a yellow fire on his fist, it was an epic running they show, once they got closer, they let their punches fly at each other… But, Wario dodge Knuckles punch and grabs his extended arm, he gives him a powerful headbutt to the head, and then he throws it over his shoulder into the ground hard, making Knuckles dazed, Wario jumps into the air and falls down with a ground pound on Knuckles body, causing the red echidna head to pop out of his body like a soda can as blood make it skyrocket into the deep of the forest, becoming a shining star, he's dead alright, Wario stands up from it.

Wario: "Aaagh, now that you're out of the way, (turns to the tower with emerald on the center) It's-a time I make me some money, Wahahaha-ouch!"

K.O


Yang: Damm! He went off with a pop!

Ed: Knuckles speed and agility are better than Wario's but the yellow counterpart's durability was the key to his success, Knuckles rushing in only play into Wario's favor by being close and at range and when it comes to fist to fist, Wario comes on top.

Demo: Both have rush into battle, but Wario also uses his brain on the battlefield, being a cheater means he uses time on time, and Knuckles just improvised. And you might be thinking: "But, Knuckles has proved that he could surpass Wario because he can make a volcano erupt with a single punch, how did Wario defeat him?". Like Ed said, Wario key for success was his durability, and for that, we have an expert of toughness right over here, isn't that right, Yang?

Yang: Of course! Let's do some work, Wario lifted up, move and throw Dinomighty who weighs 278,000 pounds, compare this with Wario size, we can say Wario can withstand up to 300,000 pounds of pressure, now lets go to the times he got crush, he's being completely crush like a pancake several times by Thwomps, hammers, rocks, walls, even Bowser has, and yet he comes back like it was nothing. Counting the times he got squash, we can say that Wario has survived pressure over 4,8000 tons. Now I may not be good at math, but if we put together this numbers, we can see that Wario can survive anything that Knuckles may throw at him.

Ed: In other words, Wario proved to be stronger, faster, smarter and durable than Knuckles could have though.

Demo: Knuckles just got Warionwed!

Yang: The winner is Wario!


Next time on Death Battle!

A pale man with red streaking over his body, swings a pair of chained, flaming blades at a sea serpent, decapitating her in the process.

V.s…

A man with a skeleton mask on his face, demonic clothes, swings his big scythe at a gigantic leviathan, making it spills blood on the process.
