Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 artwork from old Japanese Mario guide

The "Perfect Edition of the Great Mario Character Encyclopedia" covers many games from before it was released in '94, and it has some interesting original artwork. They only used the original artwork when there wasn't pre-existing art. Anyways, someone uploaded a full scan of the book onto imgur, and I've been cropping the original artwork out to put on Mariowiki.

Here's the Wario Land stuff I've gotten already:

Gaugau. Yikes, I'm gonna need to go over the transparency in this one again.

The smuggest Ukiwani ever.

Konotako. This one has some transparency artifacts too...

Guragura. Funny thing about this guy is if you get him offscreen, his mace sometimes disappears, but he still acts like he's swinging it, of course.

At that point, I decided to start ripping the "ID cards" describing them, but it's since stagnated.
A few more still need ripping, like most of the bosses, Big, Yaburikki, Maizo, Togemaru...
 
Oh wow, there's official art for these enemies! That's really great to see.

Can't wait for the boss artwork here! Hopefully it's better than the last artwork we had of them (which looked kind of dreadful).
