Wa-Wa

"Out to flush the world clean and rebuild it as he remembers it, this stick-in-the-mud puddle is the elemental mask of Water."

- The Wrath of Cortex instruction manual

Wa-Wa is the Elemental of Water, out to flush the world clean and rebuild it as he remembers it. He has a militaristic personality by speaking in a stereotypical drill sergeant voice, and his powers include transforming Crunch's body into suspended water, and creating balls of ice. He can also bestow the ability to create energy waves. He is voiced by the late R. Lee Ermey in the English version and voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi in the Japanese version.

Trivia

 * Wa-Wa's name is based on how a young English speaking child would generally say Water.

 * Wa-Wa's line, "I'll fix that attitude problem of yours!", is a reference to Meta Knight's line before the battle in Kirby Super Star and its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra.
