What would a Wario Land game on the Nintendo 64 have been like?

[CM30]

I mean, we got Wario World on the Gamecube. And Mario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi and Kirby all got their own respective platformers on the Nintendo 64.

So what would a Wario Land or Wario World esque game on the console have been like?

 

[Just a Wario Fan]

Like Wario World with the graphics of Super Mario 64.

Well, a collectaphon, obviously.
Something like SM64/BK/DK64.
And i think exploration, collectables and powerups would have worked really well with Wario

Something akin to Banjo Kazooie maybe.

Basically just Wario Land 3 in 3D, I guess. Or they could do the generic collectathon thing, which I suppose would fit Wario's greed, hue.

Yeah, I would have to say a Wario World type game, too! Maybe played a bit more like Mario 64. That gameplay style was the recurrent theme at the time, like a prerequisite of some sort...

 

[King Hehehe]

I'd imagine it'd be rather like Wario World, but a bit less, er...quirky. Less coin-vacuum, less disturbing enemy designs, and so forth.

A collectaphon. Though it probably would not have nearly as much stuff to collect as Donkey Kong 64 did.

Probably a very short game. There's something about N64 games that gave me this 'unpolished and unfinished' vibe.

Well, certainly not with Super Mario 64

I think it's understandable that some games might look like that, after all, there wasn't any 3D console games before that. Mario 64, Zelda games, F-zero and others have a really good and solid quality, but you can note the unexperience in most of those games. And I think Mario Kart 64 looks and feels unpolished.

 

[King Hehehe]

It's pretty unbalanced, too. Lightweights are better than other characters in basically every way (best acceleration, best top speed, best off-road abilities, can triple-tap accelerate, best handling), heavyweights and middleweights are statistically pretty much the same besides weight (and Bowser can triple-tap accelerate while the others can't for some reason), etc. I mean, it's still one of my favorites in the series, but it is a tad unpolished.

 

[Robin]

What's that "triple tap acceleration" you're talking about? At the start of the race?

 

[King Hehehe]

It's an oddity in Mario Kart 64, where Toad, Yoshi, Peach, and Bowser can quickly tap A multiple times to accelerate to top speed faster than if you simply hold the button. It works best if you quickly tap it three times, and hold it down on the third press.

Something like this.

Something like this.

That would be exactly how it would look like, except this video is better! xD

Something like this.

I wanted a Wario Land 64 so bad. That footage is exactly how I pictured it looking, too. It would've been awesome.

Glad we got Wario World some years later
