I think the consistent presence of warp pipes suggests that the games take place on Mario's world. But who knows, maybe Wario himself is an alternate dimension counterpart of Mario and his dimension also has a bunch of warp pipes, which is how he gets to Mario's dimension in the first place.

Yeah I couldn't agree more. In Sunshine and earlier, every Mario game had its own look to it that kept things from becoming sterile. Now they've basically put a block on any new art styles from coming out. Notice how even the RPGs are using styles introduced over a decade ago. Back then a new...

I love this game. It's managed to grab my attention in a way most other puzzle games cannot (the only other one I've had as much fun with is "Henry Hatsworth in the The Puzzling Adventure"). I really wish more puzzle games would incorporate an action/character element to the puzzles, because it...

I wonder if Nintendo's disinterest in Wario Land is because they don't think the greedy treasure hunter concept fits in very well with their modern, casual-centric, clean, white-washed, family-focused image they adopted as of the Wii/DS era. That's when they really started to push Wario Land...

I think a thing with series (not just games, but also animation) that maintain a consistent long-running artstyle is that the artstyle will become more "clean" and "systematic" as the series goes on, losing a lot of the raw artistic expression it had at first.

She's a rival to Wario who shares his greedy ambitions and similarly inhabits a moral gray area. It's nice to have two opponents who are both neither particularly good nor evil, and that are motivated by the same goal.

Yeah, that's exactly it. Sakurai has an incredible amount of freedom with the Smash Bros series (especially in Brawl and SSB4), so every character it includes is presented through the prism of Sakurai's own personal interpretation (with the exception of third parties and maybe Pokemon). It just...

What group does Super Mario Land 2 fall under? It's not really a "crossover" since it's Wario's origin game and it existed before Wario had a series of his own to "cross over" from. But it's not really a Wario Land game either, though it's the precursor to the Wario Land series.

I've been replaying some Wario Land games, and it's reminding me about how it was such an iconic move. I feel like every character in Smash Bros got to have their most iconic moves in Smash Bros except for Wario. Even Peach, who only actually floated in one game before 3D World brought it back...

I think the game should be about Wario acting as hired muscle. Different NPCs (both good and bad) around the map would pay you to perform various tasks, ranging from collecting bounties for catching criminals to breaking into high-security places and robbing them of all their loot. And Captain...

Thanks! And yeah, I agree that it would be great if the two were brought together on a full-time basis. And throw Waluigi in there as well. Right now Wario's supporting cast is all spread out. You've got his rival, Captain Syrup, limited to the Land games, you've got his co-worker friends...

I think it would be cool if they had a game that sort of merged the two branches together. It would be a Wario Land styled platformer with WarioWare characters and settings, and microgames as bonus stages. I imagine you would start out in Wario's classic outfit at default (with his normal...
