As in, how you can just skip most of the battle by buying an item to nuke the boss into oblivion before it begins?
Because part of me thinks it'd be neat if a future Wario game let you do that sort of thing for almost any challenge. Stuck on an annoying sidequest or mini game? Beat the crap out of the NPC hosting it and take the prize through force. Or maybe literally bribe them under the table to say you won.
Same goes with the challenges. Maybe it'd have Wario Land Shake it esque challenges, except you could bribe or threaten the judges to remove challenges you don't like from the level. Or with the shops, you'd be able to steal items if you didn't want to spend money on them.
You could cheat races against other characters (like Carpaccio does to you in Master of Disguise). Directly attack a boss' health bar in the HUD to make things easier. Basically, every 'cheat' you can imagine is possible, as if Wario himself was trying to get through the game in the most underhanded ways known to man.
I think that'd be a really neat gimmick, and fit Wario's personality perfectly. And hey, it'd also lend itself to a funny final boss battle where the villain is doing the same types of things to you (screwing around with the HUD, taking elements from the background to use as weapons, using emulator style rewinds, etc).
What do you think?
