Hats vs Transformations vs Costumes?

[CM30]

Which do you prefer as powerups?

Hats like in Wario Land Super Mario Land 3 and Virtual Boy Wario Land?

Transformations like in Wario Land II, 3, 4 and Shake It

Or costumes like in Master of Disguise?

The transformations, since they are so funny.

While I do really enjoy the hats, from a game design standpoint I have to favor transformations. They allow the designers to really show their creativity with level design, and how Wario interacts with enemies.

Transformations, due to creative interactions with enemies (it's not just about killing them) and level design

Yeah, transformations by far. They're funny, creative, well designed, and all around fit Wario more as a character IMO.

although I did really love the OP-ness of the Jet Pot in SML3 hue

Transformations really set Wario apart from Mario. That coupled with Wario being invincible makes Wario really stand out. Attacking him only makes him stronger!

Definitly transformations for me! It's what made the Wario Land games very unique.

Transformations have made it so you have a much more interesting way to figure out puzzles or traverse hidden areas.
Example being vampire wario making you fly and reach areas you wouldn't be able to do with just wario alone. Plus each transformation was pretty comical as well, since most of the time wario seemed displeased with his life choices. Being burnt, being a zombie, or a snowball it was quite amusing.

I'll always love the hats, they are classic, but I gotta go with transformations as the best. They're hilarious, and the gameplay built around them is extremely clever.

fuck the costumes.
