Spoiler warning : Don't you even dare read the spoiler! Because if you do… Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoooooo… A horrible fate awaits you.Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3[]
Wario learns of the Brown Sugar Pirates and the treasures they have stolen from different lands. One of the stolen treasures happens to be a golden statue of Princess Peach, which they are holding for ransom. Wario ventures to Syrup Castle, where he intends to steal the Brown Sugar Pirates' fortune.
At Syrup Castle, Wario is surprised to learn that Captain Syrup is female. In battle, the pirate leader summons Genie, who assists Captain Syrup to defeat Wario. Eventually, the duo are defeated by Wario and Captain Syrup destroys her own castle, promising to get revenge. Mario takes the golden statue before the Wario can get it, however, with the coins he collected on the way to Syrup Castle, he buys a new castle with Genie's wish.
Wario Land II[]
Captain Syrup returns in the sequel, Wario Land II. At the beginning of the game, her crew, now known as the Black Sugar Gang, steals Wario's treasure and trashes his new castle. Wario chases the Black Sugar Gang to Kitchen Island, where he defeats Captain Syrup a second time and reclaims the treasures stolen from him.
Wario Land: Shake It![]
In Wario Land: Shake It!, Captain Syrup learns of the crisis within the Shake Dimension and the existence of the Bottomless Coin Sack, currently held by the evil Shake King. She gives Wario the Ancient Globe, which holds the Shake Dimension, as she wishes to retrieve the Bottomless Coin Sack for herself. Wario travels to the Shake Dimension to retrieve the sack for himself, however, at the end of the game, it is stolen from Wario by Captain Syrup when he is not looking.
Her role in Wario Land: Shake It! is greatly diminished from her previous roles as she only sells Wario maps to the next location after he has defeated a boss, rather than her much larger role as the main antagonist in the previous games.
