- “Bwaha! Just for bothering me, I'm going to drop a nasty surprise on everyone!”
- —Warukio, Mario Party 6
Warukio is the evil version of Woody who first appears in Mario Party 3 in Woody Woods. As such, Warukio has a perpetually angry expression and a hostile attitude, contrasting Woody's perpetually happy expression and kind-hearted attitude. Warukio's color palette is also an inversion of Woody's color palette. If a player lands on one of the three ? Spaces surrounding him, he will award them a Minus Coin Fruit (resulting in a loss of 5 coins) or a Reverse Block Fruit allowing the player to roll again, but go in reverse.
Warukio appears in Mario Party 6 on the board Towering Treetop. He appears at night to replace Woody at the top of the board. Whenever a character lands on one of Warukio's Event Spaces, instead of him giving coins like Woody does, Warukio will instead take away coins by dropping Spinies on every character.
Warukio reappears in the returning board from Mario Party 3 Woody Woods in Mario Party Superstars. His design has been reverted back to his design from Mario Party 3.

Trivia
- The structure of Warukio's name is intentionally like that of Wario and Waluigi, being a portmanteau of the Japanese word warui (悪い), meaning "bad," and the name of their good counterpart.
- Internal game files for the English Mario Party Superstars show him being referred to as "tree bad" by the developers, which is the literal translation of his Japanese name.
