Which game has your favorite sprite art? For me it’s honestly VB Wario Land, it looks almost like promo art it’s so good
 
Honestly a hard choice. I love the ugly ass style of Wario Land 4, and 1-3 have an interesting style themselves. VB is crazy though, they look so high quality. You can really see Wario's muscles in action.

I often overlooked it since it’s the only one I didn’t beat but I’m trying it (gonna get 3D glasses soon) and wow these sprites blow me away. Makes me with there was more Wario land on powerful systems.
 
I think Wario Land 4 is objectively the best, there's a meticulous attention to detail in a lot of the spritework. The only thing I don't love about it is that the colors are a bit too bright, likely to compensate for the original GBA's lack of backlight, but it is a very beautiful game.
Virtual Boy Wario Land also has some great, detailed sprites especially on the man himself... though the way they're assembled sometimes leaves things feeling cluttered (the final regular level is a good example). I also don't think the attempt to shade things with such a limited color palette has held up; same goes for the first Wario Land and the GB version of WLII. The GBC games mostly keeping things flat colored was the right choice.
