The Wild Swing-Ding is one of Wario's signature moves. It first appears in Wario World, as one of his three Mad Moves.
Usage
When grabbing an enemy or a heavy object, if the player spins 
in a circle in either direction, Wario will start spinning the enemy. After a few spins, auto-spin takes over and Wario spins without input from the player. At this point, it is possible to control Wario with . After about 23 spins, Wario lets go of the enemy on his own, though the player can press 
at any time to end the move. In addition to defeating the enemy Wario is currently holding, the Wild Swing-Ding damages or defeats any enemy that Wario contacts while he is spinning. In many cases, this move is required to progress through levels, such as using the move to raise platforms or open gates by spinning a nearby wheel.
Other appearances
Wild Swing-Ding reappears in Super Mario 64 DS, though only in the game's VS mode. The move is exclusive to the Yoshi wearing Wario's cap and is performed in much the same way, though there is no auto-spin. There is a rare artwork of Wario throwing Luigi, presumably from performing a Wild Swing-Ding. It can be assumed that the rarity of the artwork is because Wario himself never uses the move on Luigi.
Wild Swing-Ding also appears as Wario's forward throw in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and his back throw in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
