| === Golden Diva === | |||
| The '''Golden Diva''' is the main antagonist of '']''. She is a large, floating golden woman that was cursed by her own greed, turning her into a hideous monster.

| === Black Jewel === | |||
| The '''Black Jewel''' is the main antagonist of '']''. It is an evil, brilliant-cut black gem that is motivated by greed.

| '''Goodstyle''', known as {{nihongo|'''Stickio'''|ステッキオ|Sutekkio}} in Japan, is an ally of Wario in '']''. He is an animated wand that Wario steals from Count Cannoli. Goodstyle aids Wario by giving him advice and allowing him to transform into different costumes. During the game, it is revealed that Goodstyle was the first member of the Cannoli family who sealed the evil Terrormisu into the Wishstone. Goodstyle then transformed himself into a powerful wand to aid a warrior in defeating Terrormisu. After Wario reassembles the pieces of the Wishstone and defeats Terrormisu, Goodstyle gives all of his treasure to Wario as thanks. | |||
| === Count Cannoli === | |||
| '''Count Cannoli''', known as {{nihongo|'''Aldente'''|アルデンテ|Arudente}} in Japan, is an antagonist in '']''. He is a self-proclaimed "master thief", who is really no more than an amateur that is only able to accomplish anything while using Goodstyle's powers to become his alter-ego, the '''Silver Zephyr'''. After Wario steals the wand, Cannoli's only means of fighting back are a variety of gadgets and machines that he has designed. Once he discovers that Wario is trying to hunt down the pieces of the Wishstone, Cannoli remembers that it is his family's duty to keep them apart, and begins dogging Wario's heels even more closely, trying to keep the pieces away from him. Eventually, he is forced into an alliance with fellow thief and antagonist, Carpaccio, in an attempt to stop Wario. | |||
| === Carpaccio === | |||
| {{nihongo|'''Carpaccio'''|カルパッチョ|Karupatcho}} is the main antagonist in '']''. He is a brilliant chemist who runs the company known as Sigil Securities.

Eventually, he is forced into an alliance with fellow thief and antagonist Cannoli in an attempt to stop Wario. | |||
| === Terrormisu === | |||
| '''Terrormisu''', known as {{nihongo|'''Margherita'''|マルゲリータ|Marugerīta}} in Japan, is an evil demon who once exploited a Pharaoh's greed to destroy an entire civilization.

As Wario collects the pieces of the Wishstone during the game, Terrormisu spots her chance, and is able to project her image into the real world once Wario passes by a volcano that happens to be a nexus of dark power. She takes the form of a young mysterious woman, calling herself "Tiaramisu" to trick Wario into thinking she is friendly. Once Wario collects all the fragments of the Wishstone, she transforms into a larger more beautiful form of her herself which resembles '']''. During the battle, she wears three different masks, representing different emotions. When Wario nearly defeats her, her larger form becomes pudgier and less like Peach. After collecting all of the pieces of the Wishstone, she is able to escape, but is soon defeated by Wario. Her true form is a skinny, demonic shadow creature that tricked a king into ruining his kingdom as consequence for gaining all wealth in the world. | |||
| === Shake King === | |||
