Rudy is a powerful entity resembling a gigantic clown who was featured as the villain and final boss of Wario Land 3 and the Story Mode of Dr. Mario 64.
Background[edit]
Long ago, Rudy descended upon a world hidden within a music box in hopes of conquering it. The people of that world were able to fend off Rudy by sealing his power within the five music boxes, and Rudy was left powerless in the world's temple. Before losing his power, Rudy was able to place a curse on the people of the music box world that transformed them all into monsters.
In Wario Land 3, Wario found Rudy's resting place. Rudy tricked Wario into helping him and sent Wario off in search of the music boxes by promising to let him keep all of the treasure that he found. Wario succeeded in returning the five music boxes to Rudy. With his power restored, Rudy then betrayed and attacked Wario to make sure that he did not get in his way. He planned to resume his conquest of the music box world and later the outside world after defeating Wario. But this was not to happen, as Wario successfully defeated Rudy by repeatedly throwing his own fists into his face. This also returned the people of the music box world to their original forms.
Rudy also appeared in Dr. Mario 64, where he had somehow occupied a castle in the outside world. He suffered from a cold, and he knew that Dr. Mario's Megavitamins could cure him, so he sent out the Mad Scienstein to steal the vitamins for him. Mad Scienstein was able to return with the Megavitamins, but he had both Dr. Mario and Wario in tow. Rudy was defeated, but when Dr. Mario saw that he had a cold, he decided to follow his Hippocratic oath and cured Rudy. This caused Rudy to jump for joy.
Trivia[edit]
