I agree with CM30 on this one. Though I admit Wario World was closer to the original Wario Lands in terms of how crude it was artistically, even though it was much more exaggerated.
That's amazing! VB Wario Land has amazing sprites and animations. Such a shame it was stuck in monochrome VB hell! But not anymore it seems! It actually makes wanna play it again.
Just found out there's a JavaScript version of SM64 available on the Scratch website for whatever reason so I decided to 31-star speedrun it just because I can. Though I didn't record it nor time it.
This probably not canon and just a texture they slapped on the coin because didn't feel like making a custom one. Kinda like a Shiver Star has the Earth map texture though it did spark quite a few theories.
