So I finally got around to playing Wario Land, and damn what a fantastic game. Is /v/ up for a Wario Land thread? Post about what a shame it is that we'll probably never get another Wario game as good as this due to the original dev team disbanding.
>tfw manage to find all the treasures but still only got the Castle Ending
They kinda went a bit too far with how many coins you needed for it. I got 3000 while 100% the game and I still need a couple thousand more.
I guess /v/ doesnt like the wario games that much.
>>334392118
/v/ is too underage to have played an original Gameboy Game let alone discuss Wario Land.
I used to play this with the original Super Mario Land all the time when I was in school.
>>334392118
Does this game play like the later games? I played a bit of the Wario Land game that was given to 3DS ambassadors (3, I think).
I personally didn't like the first Wario Land as much as 2. That might have just been me being spoiled though.
>>334393414
Original Wario game > later games
If you liked Wario Land 1, you really need to try out Wario Land for the Virtual Boy. It's similar and surprisingly good.
Wario Land 2 and 3 are really different, but I think I like them a lot more than the original Wario Land. Really unique kind of puzzle platformer without being slow.
If you have a Wii or Wii U, I recommend Wario Land Shake It.
It's really fun and difficult if you try the challenges
That fucking level with the fire/lava from the left side inching closer on you scared the shit out of 8 year old me back then.
>>334393357
Pretty much, /v/ is way too fast for its own good.
But having played it now makes me regret not playing it back in the day.
I remember playing this with my childhood best friend and having a fucking blast. I liked the simplicity of the horned helmet charge. Good times.
>>334392118
>what a shame it is that we'll probably never get another Wario game as good as this
But we did.
>>334393651
Why regret it? You played a good video game. Doesn't matter if you played it on release or 10 years later.
>>334392118
Oh man the nostalgia. I love this game. Played it a lot as a kid. The first time you could play "the bad guy".
I can remember that it was a real bitch getting enough coins. I don't think I ever got there.
I loved how world one was flooded after you beat it.
>>334393728
I mean from now on anon, I'm sure WL4 is just s good or better.
>>334393728
My fucking childhood
Man, I love this game. Beat it when I was a kid. Haven't played it in forever, I suppose I'm due.
I wish I could get my cousin's copy of SML2.
>>334392118
>They kinda went a bit too far with how many coins you needed for it
There's some level where you can get a gazillion coins super fast, then do the minigame and pray for luck
Or use that "press select 16 times" code to get max coins
>>334393574
I thought the challenges were arbitrary one-shot garbage or tedious collection.
Good Feel relies way too much on collectables everywhere, it's so easy and dull.
>>334393743
True, what I'm trying to say is that it would have blown me the fuck away back in the day.
Still excellent game though.
>>334393531
2 > 1 > 3 > 4
>>334393827
I really like how this game did secrets. Not too cryptic or obvious, feels real good to finally get all the treasures.
>>334393728
It was no 2 or 3. Less levels, mandatory treasure collection instead of optional, different music style that I didn't like as much, and less wario transformations (and really stupidly inconsistent because you have a health system with it).
>>334393951
That's the secret level on World 1 with all the crabs right? Seems more like a grind than fun.
>>334394036
>True, what I'm trying to say is that it would have blown me the fuck away back in the day.
Well it blew you away now and i'm glad you appreciated it. See whenever anyone says "you're just viewing things with nostalgia goggles" you know they're full of bullshit. Because nobody is ever nostalgic for a terrible game or shitty game.
>>334394119
I remember the one that eluded me for so long was the whale treasure in one of the final world levels
I only played Wario Land 3 so I can't really speak for them all but goddamn I replayed 3 so many times.
Also has the best final boss desuand best ending track
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH70CwY__Ms
>>334394209
I don't remember really, I think any short level with lots of those big coins would work
And yes it is grind, of course as a kid I died a million times and had to redo tons of levels to find treasures so it didn't feel like itJet hat best hat
It's a shame they never expanded on Wario World. It was such a weird mix, kinda sucks Wario couldn't continue paralleling Mario with weird takes on platforming.
>>334394329
That was probably the hardest one to find in the game desu. Took me a good 4 tries through the level before I tried exploring that suspicious wall by the key.But that feeling when you finally get it right, so good mayne.
I played it recently, too.
Yeah, it's funny, I can't play WL2 through 4 because it's all collecting money and treasure and shit, too focused on that.
But WL1, man, that was an enjoyable romp.
>that subtle Wario's running speedup at the Bonus Screen as the game progresses
>>334394464
Jet Hat was indeed the best. Jetting through levels was so much fun. Bull hat also ended up being a lot more useful than I thought it was going to be, that butt stomp was real good.
Dragon Hat has to be the most boring tho.
>>334394839
That's a fear I have now, since the next WL games are so different I dont know if I'll enjoy them as much as this one.
>>334392118

>Play the fuck out of Super Mario Land 2 and Wario Land
>It takes my 8 year-old mind a couple of weeks to realize Wario Land was actually the sequel to SML2.
Also, anyone ever play pic related? Talk about an OG crossover battle, and also the secret origin of Wario's motorcycle.
>>334395005
>It takes my 8 year-old mind a couple of weeks to realize Wario Land was actually the sequel to SML2
Nigga it's literally written on the box "Super Mario Land 3"
>>334392118
Still one of my favourites alongside the first two Wario Lands. Jesus Christ though the final boss was a head wrecker. Of course I went Wario 100% of the time, just loved his little pixel running around dropping bombs.
Who /USING THE 3DS SAVESTATE FEATURE TO CHEAT AT THE END OF LEVEL COIN MINIGAME/ here?
>>334395000
I can't, mainly because I HATE judgmental games. So any games with ranking, tracks X number of treasures that you get one shot at (currency is fine, Great Cave Offensive is fine), etc.
If you don't have that mental tick, I think you'd be just fine.
>>334395261
I didn't bother to read the box, and the text was tiny as fuck on the cartridge itself, but I know it was a goofy thing to take so long to realize.
Wario Land 2 best wario land game.
That game gave me my love of secrets.
>>334395361
HELL YEAH, BEATS LITERALLY GRINDING TO GET THE BEST ENDING
>>334395419
Eh I think I'll be fine, still I would like to 100% the game. I managed to 100% WL without a guide but WL2 sounds like it'll be much more difficult if treasure is permanently missable.
>>334393553
>all of Mario's enemies dance the cha cha
>Dragon hat
>Use in water
>Small ass flames getting extinguished
TECHNOLOGY?
If you hold up you can actually jump way higher and farther than normal. It almost breaks the game but it sure is nice for those difficult parts.
>that ending where Mario just steals Wario hard-stolen golden Peach statue
What a dick.
>>334393553
That's the beauty of the series. 1 and VB had that mix between a classic Mario game with the power-ups and what would later become the series norm for Wario games with the extra emphasis on exploration.
2 and 3 focused more on exploration and platforming/environment puzzles.
4 and Shake It brought back health and focused on precision platforming with exploration on the side, somewhere between 1/VB and 2/3's styles.
Not to mention Wario World providing a unique take of the formula in a 3D environment. I just wish the game was longer, or that it had a sequel.
There was generally something for everyone; prefer how Wario Land 2 plays? Wario Land 3 is probably your next bet. Wario Land 1 your favorite? If at all possible, try tracking down the VB Wario Land.The only real stinker was Master of Disguise, which wasn't the worst game around, but significantly underwhelming compared to any other Wario platformer.
>>334395694
I don't think any of them are permanently missable, WL2 through 4. I don't know, it's been awhile. I just like more leisurely, like Great Cave Offensive.
>>334395005
So what does that game play like, anyway?
>>334393357
ayy, I've both games for GameBoy but only played Super Mario Land 3 - Wario Land through. Still one of the best GameBoy games I've ever played. The music is still one of my favourite video game soundtracks.
>>334396440
>The music is still one of my favourite video game soundtracks.
That ost was way too good. Amazing what you can do even with limited hardware
https://youtu.be/pWcTXm3Chm8
https://youtu.be/8qARKJqOQYA
>>334395361
Did it on an emulator, but absolutely.
It's pretty much the only way to get the best ending without going back and coin grinding.
Find me a better track from the game, I dare you.

Are we allowed to talk about world
Start select select select select select select select......
>>334396380
It's literally a Bomberman game, they added Wario in to make it appeal for an American release and he just took it the fuck over.
Basically you choose whether to play as Wario or Bomberman and blast the fuck out of clones of the other one throughout the story mode, then there were bosses and permanent upgrades you would earn, one of them being a permanent motorcycle.
>>334398046
Yeah sure, all wario is allowed.All I remember from playing it years ago is that piledriving enemies was fun as fuck.
>>334398180
Is that a cheat code?
Speaking of good music in the series:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gVA2_mC_Hg
Wario Lands had such unique, fitting music.
>>334398361
yes, by pressing select 16 times during a pause you could edit your coins, your life and your upgrade.
>>334398046
>That collecting
>Those puzzle rooms
>Those combat mechanics integrated into puzzles
>Bosses at the end of every level
Wario World NEEDS a sequel.
N E E D S
>>334399167
The only issue I had with it was that it was short. A sequel would have fixed that very thing easily.
Should I play the gameboy color or the original version of Wario Land 2?
Which looks nicer?
>>334400514
Go with color, his white/brown overalls are great.
>>334400514
Game boy color of course. It has those big sprites that are perfect for GBC
FUCK NINTENDO NIGGERS PIECE OF SHIT FOR NOT GIVING WARIO THE ATTENTION IT DESERVE FUCK YOU CHINK PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT WHO THINKGS HE'S STILL LIVING IN THE EIGHTIES WITH HIS MARIO MARIO MARIOMARIOMARIOMARIO MARIO EVERYTHING HAS TO BE MARIO AND MIIVERSE FUCK YOUR MOM THE INBRED DOG YOU STUPID FUCKING RETARD
WARIO IS UNDISPUTEDLY THE BEST PLATFORM FRANCHISE EVER AND IT'S A MIRACLE YES A FUCKING MIRACLE THAT NINTNESHIT NIGGER AKA THE COMPANY THAT LIKES TO RUIN FUN THINGS AND SUCK MII COCKS ON OUTDATED SYSTEMS FOR KIDS TO OWN SUCH A BRILLANT FRANCHISE AND CHARACTER, FUCK THIS MARIO OBSESSION FUCK JAPANIGGERS FOR ASKING FOR MARIO AND PUTTING WARIO ASIDE WITH RYTHM FART GAMES NIGGER
YOU CAN'T EVEN NAME ONE GAME THAT COMES CLOSE TO WARIOLAND 4 FUCKING SHITHEADS
I gave my old GB Pocket with a copy of this game to a friend of mine when I bought a GBC (or GBA?). Because that was the only game I had that she liked. Wonder if she still has it somewhere. I miss that game. Never beaten it, though.Pretty sure now that I shouldn't really have done it. On the other hand, no idea what would happen to it if my younger self kept it...
4>World>Shake It>2>1=Master of Disguise>3
Will we ever get another good Wario game or are we stuck with meme shovelware man wario forever?
>>334401861
Gee, I wonder who's behind this post...
I love 3 and still play it because it's fun but I couldn't ever get into 2 or 1 because of how linear they are.
>>334402491
Last Wario Land game was 8 years ago, and I'm not even sure how well that one sold. Honestly I dont see wario popping up except for maybe one WarioWare gamethat probably wont be as good as past ware gamesanytime soon.
>>334402971
>but I couldn't ever get into 2 or 1 because of how linear they are.
Really? Because I'm playing 2 now and it seems relatively open ended. I'm finding secrets exits and multiple paths everywhere.
>>334403521
It could be because I only played the beginning level,
>>334403340
You mean Game & Wario?
