Wario Land references in the WarioWare series?

[CM30]

Surprised no one remembered this from that skateboard mini game:

Hmm, doesn't that background look familiar?

I thought so too. It's based on the foreground tiles in Mystic Lake from Wario Land 4. Based on the fish clouds, I guess this could be a blatant reference to the area or 9-Volt skating through it.

And this one:

Is based on Wildflower Fields:

Interesting.

9-Volt Land Confirmed?

 

[CM30]

Nah, although that would be interesting. Like a good version of that 'Back to the Future' game on SNES (or was it Mega Drive?)

Damn, that's cool. I didn't know. :3

I can't put my finger on it, but Jimmy's ringtones seem awfully familiar, hmmmmmm...

Most likely not intentional, but the Sun in this microgame from Twisted

has a moustache that looks a bit like that of the ¨Colonel¨ guy on the pictures in Crescent Moon Village.

Also:

There's just something about those 4 colors of flowers they really like using, isn't there?

I guess so. Didn't know they used them in that microgame too. Neat.

The second level of Public Transportation from WarioWare Touched has the player flee from Wario in the Wario Car :

I already knew of this, but it's still a nice thing to see the Wario Car getting a cameo.

Oh yeah, surprised I forgot about that reference.

Not exactly Wario Land and I sadly don't have a screenshot available (if someone could provide one I'd appreciate it), but among the NES stamps that you can use for microgame visuals in WarioWare DIY is a bomb sprite, which is taken from Wario's Woods, which makes for a second time that Woods has been referenced in Ware, the other one of course, being the Super Nintendo Cardridge microgame from Smooth Moves.

I counted them down in my impressions post on the Wario Blog, but I might as well mention the Wario Land references on Gold here as well:

Loot Scoot which was blatantly Land inspired has been promoted to a boss minigame.

-The new version of Driver’s Ed from Smooth Moves has Wario drive in his car from Land 4.

-18-Volt’s set includes a Land 3 microgame.

-The new version of Fly ’ n’ Fall from DIY and Wario Interrupts, feature appearences of Tiny Warios.

The game also puts a little more attention on Wario's treasure hunter site, then we are used to in the Ware series, outside of microgames.

I think the micrograme "Loot Scoot" is a reference to Wario Land (The Micrograme name is taken from WarioWare Gold, i Think WarioWare Inc. Had a different Name, but i dont remember)

Yeah, I don't think it needs to be said how awesome it is to have another Wario Land minigame in the series. Every WW should have one.

Nope, it has the same name. Loot Scoot - Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia
