Did anyone else get sick and tired of seeing all of the "Defeat the Giant Spear Man" levels in Wario Land 2?
I remember back when I first found new story paths I would get excited, and then I would get a little disappointed when I would see another "Defeat the Giant Spear Man" mission it just felt so lazy.
Nope.
I really liked that he was a recurring miniboss.
Then again, I grew up with the japaneve version of the game, so I never knew the objective until I reach the end of the level.
(Cause me to get stuck on "Defeat Four Ducks!" for a while, I'll tell you that).
I never had a problem with it, I mean beating the Giant Spear Man is little more then a harmless recurring end of level objective, would have been interesting to have a unique objective for every level, but I don't mind having something recurring as well.
Its fine because you fight him once or twice per story path so in universe it works but if you wanna complete the game in a sitting or two its definitely annoying. I like to take it as a running joke.
The real question is what Spear Man did to Wario after the really final level during the credits.
Well, on the one hand, sure, I'd love to see a unique ending to every level, but on the other hand, they had limited space to work with, so giving every single level a unique exit probably wasn't possible, especially considering the game started out on the original gameboy. Besides, a "defeat the spearman" ending to a level is cooler than a "find the door" ending.
I mean they sometimes literally have names that amount to "Find the exit!"
