[Wario Land 3] Eternal Night ending and Moon appearing - not obvious enought?

So, when you get the 2 pieces of the sun emblem, the cutscene clearly shows the night turning into day in the East Side, with the graphics change and everything.
And when you summon the moon, the cutscene does show a moon appearing above the tower, and the map is at night.

The thing is, nearly every time I watch a blind LP of Wario Land 3, they seem to not understand those details, then enter the level during the wrong time of day and get confused.
In fact, some people didn't even notice the eternal night in the East Side all together.

And I'm wondering - are that many people oblivious to these little visual details, or did the game not make it obvious enought what's going on?

And I've been thinking of Nintendo remaking the old Wario Land games. I personally think Wario Land 3 would benefit from it the most, it REALLY needs a better hint system.

For reference:



 
Do they know that you can ask the hidden figure for directions?
If so, and they still get it wrong, maybe Nintendo could've added a line saying "Head for [level name] at night/during the day" if it needs a specific time.

Still though... it was bloody obvious. If they just don't pay attention then that's their fault.
I mean the moon is clearly shown AT NIGHT. And the owl is shown going to sleep, which owls do DURING THE DAY.
And by the time they get to this point they MUST have realized that some missions require a specific time of day.

Well, I've seen somebody assume the moon is the sun.
But the way they just look at the cutscene which clearly shows the time of day changing - maybe it's to quick for them to process what's going on? I mean, the screen doesn't stay on Night or Day for to long until it turns Gray.
But the way some people completly miss the eternal night? When you complete The Stagnant Swamp, and it doesn't turn Day, one would immedietly be "wait, what?", but they don't. They even walk between South Day and East Night without reacting to it in any way.

It shows the night for 5 seconds. I'm sorry, but if that's not enough for them to notice then it's their fault.

Did they at least go "oh, silly me" or something after they realized their mistake?
Cuz you can't blame this on the game.

I think the cutscenes are clear enough. An issue could be that you can only see them once, so if after watching a cutscene, you'd stop playing the game for a month or two, you might've completely forgotten. But that's why the hidden figure gives a hint.

You CAN see them again after beating the level, if you press the "i" button in the menu, but only if you haven't beaten another level after that.
 
I guess if they ever made a remake of this game they could give you a list of all the unlocked cutscenes so you can watch them whenever you want and check if you've already collected the treasures from them.
