Wario Land 4 is most well-renowned for, once again, flipping the series' gameplay loop on its head. While the original Wario Land and its Virtual Boy sequel were more in line with Mario's platformers, and II and 3 honed in on the slower-paced puzzle solving that was present, 4 implements a new...

Keeping in line with what its prequel employed, Virtual Boy Wario Land has a variety of endings to unlock depending on the player's performance throughout the game. The more coins you collect, the better method of transportation Wario will receive to return home, after his seaplane was overtaken...

(You might want to get cozy for this one... prepare for a LOT of text!!) Welcome back to another issue of "Ilini played a Wario platformer that isn't called Land and has something to say about it"! Quite possibly the last issue, unless Nintendo decides to go the Bananza route for a Wario...

As indicated by the thread title, this issue of Wario Land Oddities does not start with Wario Land: rather, it starts with the series' precursor. The Super Mario Land duology is known for being a little different than the classic Super Mario Bros. games, and that mainly comes from being...

In Wario's very first appearance as the main villain of Super Mario Land 2, the big guy fully embraced copying his rival as part of his attempt to usurp him. This is immediately evident in his look: he has the mustache, the buttoned-up overalls, the gloves, and of course a cap with the first...

The main gameplay gimmick of the latest WarioWare title, Move It!, returns to the "motion-controlled remote" focus initially found in WarioWare Smooth Moves, and the game is more directly acknowledged as a successor in its Japanese title. Is there another previously used WarioWare gimmick that...

I recently dusted off my 3DS and discovered, thank goodness, my save data for one particular Wario game I wanted to finish was still intact! I had some time to kill that day, so I finished the main story and tried the bonus levels... and what do you know, Ilini has some things to say about it...

A few years ago now (aaaAAH!), I found a template for a Nintendo Switch game's cover that let you make your own custom art. It was likely intended to be used for replacing missing boxart or making custom art for an existing game... but I got a little more creative with a blank case I had, and...

With Nintendo recently announcing, of all things, adding the Virtual Boy's entire library to the Nintendo Classics collection, I thought this would be a good time to discuss a topic that's been on my mind. It definitely seems like Nintendo has been acknowledging the entire Wario Land series...

Ask Me Any Thing! Seems like a fun way to discuss my interests. (Note that I may refuse an answer if the topic is too personal or touchy.)

(Note that this is also present in the GBC version.) There's a small, easily overlooked detail in Wario Land II that sticks out in my mind as particularly memorable... I call it easily overlooked because on top of being very brief, it's only found in the credits! Since most people want to skip...

Hi! I'm Ilini (eye-elh-eye-en-eye) and I'm here to share in the love of our favorite fat man Wario. Particularly I am a big fan of his Land series, but I've also dabbled in some of the Ware games. I don't want to be the kind of fan who loves one series while shaming the other; to me, they're two...
