I've been ripping some Virtual Boy Wario Land sprites lately for MarioWiki (see here for the enemies!). And I came across something curious among the sprite tiles for the title screen:
This goes unused in the game as far as I know. But compare it to the final level map:
In the first image, the level numbers are divided in four worlds (rather than stages 1 to 14 in the final game). Additionally, the world numbers descend (did Wario originally have to travel down the earth, rather than up?
In both images, the levels still follow the "three stages, boss / three stages, boss / three stages, boss / one stage, final boss" structure. But the numbers descend instead. How strange is that?
