“Newark is next to New York. That’s some Wario Mario shit”
Mario is a Japanese video game series, and “Mario” is an Italian plumber from Brooklyn. “Wario” is a similarly named character, and many people believe he’s from Newark, New Jersey (which sounds similar to “New York”).

Wikipedia: Mario (franchise)
Mario is a Japanese video game series and media franchise created by Japanese game designer Shigeru Miyamoto for Nintendo, as a spin-off of the Donkey Kong franchise. Starring Mario, the franchise began with video games but has extended to other forms of media, including a television series, comic books, a 1993 film, a 2023 film, and a theme park area.
Wikipedia: Wario
Wario (English: /ˈwɑːrioʊ, ˈwær-, ˈwɒr-/ ⓘ) is a character in Nintendo’s Mario franchise that was designed as an antithesis of Mario. Wario first appeared as the main antagonist and final boss in the 1992 Game Boy game Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. His name is a portmanteau of the name Mario and the Japanese word warui (悪い), meaning “bad”. He is usually portrayed as a selfish and greedy treasure hunter who, in karmic irony, routinely loses his spoils by adventure’s end. Hiroji Kiyotake designed Wario, and Charles Martinet voiced the character from 1993 to 2023.
