Did you expect Captain Syrup to be female when you played Wario Land 1?

If you played it back in the olden days of course, since Wario Land II and Shake It make it pretty obvious in the opening cutscenes alone.

But if you played the original Wario Land, did you expect Syrup to be female? I kind of didn't, and the manuals might have been part of the reason why:

Yeah, they treated Syrup's gender like Samus' back in those days.

Sadly I got spoiled before I even played the games so I've known for as long as long as I've known about the Wario Land series.

Nonetheless I think it's a cool twist and the presentation method, showing it in Syrup's bedroom, was nicely done.

I think that I was too young to read at the time that Wario Land 1 came out so I don't really remember.

I never played Wario land before, Mario land is as close as it gets, though I'm looking for Wario land around pawn shops. Captain syrup, if I heard that name I'd guess it was some weird male.

But since I watched some videos showing Captain syrup I thought she looked ugly. Maybe she once was male...?

Hm, I played WLII first, so yeah, doesn't apply here. Anyway, I probably wouldn't even have known of her existence when playing the original first, as I've never read any GB, GBC or GBA manuals outside of this forum, and she isn't mentioned in the game until you actually see her.
