    Crazy, If F-Zero gets a new game, Wario Land officially becomes Nintendo’s most neglected franchise

    If you ever decide to replay WL4 and get to Wildflower Fields, grab a couple enemies and yeet them at the giant sunflower located at the top of the stage. 🌻

    You'll thank me later.

    It's wild how many indie games Wario has inspired.

    Feel like we've almost beaten the Mother series at this point.

    Yeah, I might not be the biggest fan of WL3 but I really like the ideas the game has. So much so, it's the main inspiration for the game I'm making.

    And kudos to you for going a different way. Just outta curiosity, what didn't you like about WL3? And what mechanics are you adding from it, into your game?

    I don't really dislike the game completely either but I find it a bit sluggish and confusing at times. The reactions placed just to waste your time are also frustrating to me. I still had fun playing it though and I do intend to try it again someday.

    The mechanics I'm adding is the fact that every "Star" (equivalent to Stars in SM64 or Shines Sprites in Sunshine) will give a new ability which will enable you to collect more stars. I originally wanted to implement a reaction system but I fear it'll make the moveset a bit bloated. I'll see what'll I'll do when I get there.

    I wonder if Antonblast would've been more popular if it came before Pizza Tower

    I suspect so. Pizza Tower rode right off the need for a Wario Land spiritual successor, while AntonBlast (while still doing well on that front) missed the boat a bit.

    That, and the controls and atmosphere was pretty raw compared to Pizza Tower.

    It also felt like the game didn't know what it wanted to be. The Kickstarter advertised the game as this big Wario Land inspired game fans have been itching for, but overtime started to lean much more towards Crash Bandicoot than Wario Land.

    Pizza Tower knew what it wanted to be from the start.


    But one thing I can say Antonblast did better than Pizza Tower, are the bosses.
    Pizza Tower's bosses were ok, but they felt more like mini bosses, where Antonblast's bosses were actually pretty hardcore.

    I've always wondered if the Mario Sports Wario and Land Wario are the same guy, or if they're their own separate canon.

    I vaguely recall Nintendo saying that different 'versions' of characters are just the same character. If it's true of King Boo in Luigi's Mansion and the Mario spinoffs, then it makes sense it's true for Wario as well.

    Anyone else enjoy playing Wario Land more in the Spring and Summer time?

    The first thing this made me think of was the music for Wildflower Fields, not gonna lie:

    I have a weird habit of enjoying some games more when I play them at the time of the year or same place of when I first played/finsished them. WL4 happened to be a game I began on the summer so yes.

    Autumn seems to be a common time for me to play WL or Warioware. Last time was in first half of January with Warioware Inc.
