The Mario vs Wario comic at one point shows that Mario and Wario used to flatten coins via Thwomps, as kids.
Wario Land 1 has a similar concept, where Wario can let Thwomps stomp on mooks to get large coins.

Captain Syrup (Wario Land 1)
She never actually looked like this but I feel like she did. In a way. The sprites kind of were never the right colors in that era and some designs didn't fully translate. In my mind's eye, this is the original Captain Syrup.

I found the funniest wiki vandalism, on the Wario Land 1 wiki Wario is consistently listed as 'the large Wario' and I have no idea why, it's not for the other games or any other Wario entries, and because it's not false, Wario IS large. So maybe that's why it hasn't been corrected? It's cracking me up.

Nintendo Announces That The Switch's Successor Will Be The Wii U Again
Putting an end to months of intense anticipation and speculation, Nintendo announced today that the Nintendo Switch's successor console will have the exact same name as its predecessor, the Nintendo Wii U. It will also have the exact same technical specs and game library, and Nintendo projects the exact same lackluster sales.
In a press conference at the company's Kyoto headquarters, senior executive officer Yoshiaki Koizumi explained the reasoning behind the move: "We decided to release Wii U again because it's pretty good. It rules, actually. I love it."
Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa further elaborated: "Nintendo Land was my shit. Game & Wario was so underrated. So was Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. So was Star Fox Zero. So was Animal Crossing amiibo Festival. So was Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric." Furukawa went on to list every single Wii U exclusive game over the next minute and a half, as Koizumi cheered and applauded.
Also present at the press conference was legendary developer Shigeru Miyamoto, who mostly talked about how much he misses Miiverse. "I'm so nostalgic for Miiverse. When I look back on my life, I realize that without exception, my most cherished memories and friendships all happened within Miiverse. In fact, it was in the Meme Run community that I met my current wife and children."
"Splatoon 1 is the best Splatoon," Furukawa continued. "Mario Maker 1 is the best Mario Maker. Hyrule Warriors 1 is the best Hyrule Warriors. Mario Kart 8 non-Deluxe is the best Mario Kart 8."
"Yooooo, the battle mode with the racing tracks was so much fun!!!" Koizumi exclaimed, as Miyamoto vigorously nodded in agreement. "Underrated," Furukawa repeated. "So underrated."
The press conference concluded with all three agreeing that the Nintendo Switch "sucks" and "ain't shit," deciding on the spot that they would deactivate its online servers in order to reconnect the Wii U ones as soon as possible. "If you like Switch better, I'm very sorry, but it's inferior and we're shutting it down."
"I'm not sorry," Miyamoto said, addressing Nintendo Switch fans directly. "Fuck you. I wish I could shut you down, too."

In Wario Land 3, a glitch can be used to grant Wario the ability to break blocks just by walking through them. While normally, Wario must use his Dash Attack to break through the walls in the footage, he is able to destroy them just by touching them.
To do this, Wario must start sliding off a slope at the very bottom of it, and then be stopped by a ceiling 1 tile off the ground. This causes him to assume a glitched property that grants him "perpetual rolling collision", which results in him becoming able to destroy blocks in this manner.
