If Wario World's an option there's no contest from me. Plenty of strange encounters with high skill ceilings that don't make me feel like I'm waiting for the boss to become vulnerable, like a certain septuple of turtles. Limited to just the Land games, I'd go with 4. II and 3 have some great...

I don't like how broad the term "puzzle game" is. When I hear "puzzle game" I think of something slower-paced that lets me take my time, to decipher clues or discover how to progress further. That can't be said about games where the main goal is to rapidly stack blocks or blobs to not only stay...

I'm not the biggest fan of Shake It's OST, because in a vacuum it sounds good but compared to Kozue Ishikawa's work on the original trilogy or the wide and weird variety from 4, most of the tracks don't stand out to me as capital Wario. That might be the instrumentation, which is reused in...

I'm pretty sure Waluigi's only appearance in Ware is the amiibo sketch in Gold. Not even any microgames... I have gone on record saying I would like Waluigi to get his own game beforehand, since him suddenly appearing in Wario's spinoffs would be very sudden. That doesn't mean I don't want him...

I really like his role in Wario Land 4 as another explorer of the Golden Pyramid, oblivious to most of what Wario is encountering and just there to research before abandoning ship once the pyramid starts to collapse. That mini-interview he had on the Japanese WL4 website... sure is something, as...

You mean them? I figured they were just ladies Wario encountered in the city he left from, since his car is present.

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...

I would prefer they go back to the II/3 level of slower-paced puzzle solving for a new Wario platformer, because to me a greater emphasis on speed makes them feel more similar to Mario games. Though I would prefer a speed-focused Wario Land to one that tries to hybrid the two styles, because...

I do think that even in the Japanese version the boss is ridiculously easy, along with the whole game (getting the max of 8 hearts is more than enough to comfortably sponge any hits you may take, and even if you are KO'd you can pay a miniscule amount of coins to get revived on the spot). It...

(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...

Even if some older posts appear to be lost to time, there's lots of cool stuff here! I especially like the variants of enemies depending on the area you're in, and seeing those Wario enemies among the other spinoff series' casts is really interesting. I'm curious if you have a structure on the...

That is true, but I feel there was a bit of a leap between a crass sense of humor (writing about that subject) versus being crass (the waft in Smash Bros. and now this Aroma button). I will say that Brawl wasn't the first instance of this directly crass Wario, though. There is a microgame from...

I tried Super Metroid once, never finished it but I enjoyed what I played. I do want to marathon the 2D series one of these days since they are on my bucket list, then maybe I'll try the Prime games. My favorite Wario is probably his Wario Land 1/VB design for that snazzy safari helmet, even if...

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...

No need for apologies!!

There's a Wario character mod for Rivals of Aether that includes some quality mash-up remixes; I'm particularly fond of this one but there's more on the original composer's channel. Makes me wish Smash would try to remix some of those older GB songs...
