Ah, if you guys have probably noticed, I do also like the super Mario land video games as well! I personally think that these games are a good way to get your Mario fix wherever you go, and we still get some Mario games of?This calibur today, We got Mario games for the 3DS, and we have so many more of them coming up so soon! And I think that today is the perfect time to review one of MY personal favorites in the whole entire series, the thing is though, in this one, You do NOT play as Mario! Instead you play as his arch nemesis wario! But anyways, The thing is that is this game a worthy addition to the series? Let's just see shall we? This Is Wario land for the game boy!

Story-7/10
Alright, here is the deal and and main emphasis of the game. You remember in super Mario land 2 how the evil greedy wario was making a mess out of your castle? Well you then eventually defeated him just in time to save your beloved castle! But after all of that commotion, wario is currently on the lam for right now, as he is currently on an even bigger heist then ever before! The following next few days he hears about this treasured stature of the lovely princess peach! The thing is though, there are actually some other people trying to do so as well, so you guys are probably wondering...who (Besides wario) would want to do such a despicable crime? And what will they do next? Well we got one of those answers! It is the brown sugar pirates who want to pull this crime off, and god knows what these guys are to do next! But anyways, wario fights for the money needed to purchase his so called "Promised land" So anyways, we know what the greedy guy is going to do, but just one more question to ask you huys, is wario going to pull off his so called crime of the century? Or will he let the pirates fill in for him?

Gameplay-8/10
Aside from all of that, let's get to the actual gameplay of this adventure shall we? Wario land is a 2D platformer game where you take control of the titular character wario and guide him through more then six big levels and locales, collecting treasures and defeating the pirate's goonies along the way, controls are all that, D-pad moves, A is jump, and B lets you attack. The game is set on the world of kitchen island, which is also composed of many other food themed worlds and levels. The main gist of the game is to help wario steal the princess peach statue and remain triumphant, along the way wario will have to defeat many enemies along the way, such as short little guys with spears, turtles, pihranas, and so many other baddies. Wario is himself is armed with tons of moves as well, such as a ground poun, and a charge dash, Most notably are the power helmets which will give wario even more powerful abilities, such as the ability?To turn into a dragon and breathe fire, The ability to become stronger and be capable of breaking even more objects then usual, and tons of others. For the actual collectibles, they are your typical stuff, You collect coins and treasure which I will get more into later, Hearts which will give you extra lives, and well, Yeah. At the end of each level you will have to defeat a powerful boss, such as a huge penguin who will freeze you if you get to close, A bull who rams at just about everything, and many more. There is another thing I must point out, you know who coins are used in Mario earn extra lives and more points? In this game they are used as a type of currency! What I mean to say is that your amount of money that you have saved up by the end of the game affects the type of ending that you will get after actually winning the game, Like let's say that you have over 1,000,000 dollars saved up and you finally finish the game, you will most likely get a big giant and colorful house! However earning like say...3,000 or just 500 dollars will earn you a small teepee and nothing else...Boohoo! Lastly, there is a bonus game at the end of each level which is an awesome way to get more treasure lives and money. I will say It once and only ONCE, The ending system in this game really brings me back to the days of ducktales for the NES where I would collect as much money as I can to get the best possible?Ending there was! I had fun doing It as a kid, and It still hasn't worn out for me! That was about the bane of my childhood! JK!

Graphics-8/10
Talk about pleasing to the eye! The moment I started playing this game the intro just completely blew my mind, I mean a pirate ship just sailing lonely on the sea...It kind of made my tear up as a child! Those water affects and everything! Haha...I'm just smurfing with you! But anyways, the game is exactly what you would come to expect from a 2D platformer of this genre, Big, cartoony, and just absolutely dazzling from the start to the very climatic finish! I know that the original game boy was not the most colorful or powerful system at the time, But you got to admit that the system itself has some really really good looking games! I mean just look at this one, Each level is in the game is big almighty and just overall a blast to explore, which makes just exploring them really fun then anything else. The levels of the game itself take place on the kitchen island, the land of tons of food themed worlds like the SS syrup, the rice beach, MT teapot, and so many?Others! The levels themselves are loaded with things to do as well, Like treasures to collect, Puzzles to solve, you know what I am talking about! Now let's get to the actual character models themselves, They are more then just awesome, They are wonderful to look at! So many animations and movements you'll never get tired at looking at what you see on your screen, We have Wario himself who is short pudgy and especially a really greedy man, Actually scrooge mcduck greedy! Hee hee...No wonder why the ending system in this game reminds me of ducktales. Wario's enemies are pretty cool too, We have these little short guys with spears ready to throw at you, Pihranas lurking around in the seas waiting to bite you, Walking rock like creatures, and well, Yes, they are pretty cute enemies if you look at them from here. The HUD in the game Is pretty self explanatory, It shows you your lives, how many coins you have gathered up, How many hearts you have saved, and that Is Pretty much It.

Sound-8/10
I will be honest, as I have addressed so many times in all of my other revies of certain games, The sound is one of the best features of any game of this genre! Let it be a cartoony platformer, a racing game, a puzzle game, anything else! It Is just plain awesome. This game Is really no exception. I will never forget being scared senseless by the quiet yet enjoyable opening for this game, It was fun! But anyways, let's get to the actual soundtrack of this adventure! The sound is bright happy and just so enjoyable to hear, So enjoyable that your ears are going to be flooded with this game's admirable and undeniably awesome score! From the peppy sands of the rice beach to the quietly adverse seas of MT teapot, We all got It here! Never once has the actual music or anything got on my nerves, because It is that fun to hear everything in this game. Now for the actual sound effects, and they are kind of a mixed bag, They are all pretty much recycled?from ALL of the other Game boy platformers that I have played in the past few days, Not that It is a bad thing, But It seems kind of lazy! For the actual sound effects, We have booms, beeps, pows, and other stuff that we have heard in tons of other games, It Is okay though! As all of the sound effects have never gotten on my nerves even ONCE throughout the whole entire ride. Did I forget to mention that all of these sound and such that I just mentioned right now would eventually be recycled for the next few wario games after this? Seriously, If I hear that same little coin sound play even one more time, I am about to mute my Game boy! Okay, I may would've been too harsh right here Red. Sound is still good!

Addictiveness-8/10
I have always seen this as one of the most fun games out of the whole wario land trilogy, even though that the next few games offered way more to do (I:E The option to replay worlds for more extras) But as we were saying, What fun does this game have to offer? Why the game offers alot of fun! But let's be specific RedHotToddy, As thousands of people are watching this review and want you to be as detailed as you can! Oh yeah! The first thing Is the levels! The levels in this game are HUGE! And they offer so much to do, collect, and just see, which makes them even more bigger then usual. I will never forget outrunning that darn guy on the rice beach chase level (Or something like that) Second sign of fun Is collecting everything there is to offer! There is so much treasure and stuff to collect throughout the worlds that It feels you'll never stop playing until you get that last darn collectible, Which is essential to get a good ending as well!

Depth-9/10
This game is HUGE, and a guy like me really means It! The game is flooded with so much stuff to do and so much to see that you will never refuse to put down the game even in your darkest times! Let's get started with the length shall we? The game is long, About 5-7 worlds long, so the game will most likely take you 1-3 or so hours to finally complete (Depending on how much you plan to collect and do) Second, let's get to the ending system like I have been mentioning many times in the review! There are so many endings to recieve in this game, and the ending that you recieve depends on how much treasure and loot that you manage to save up during the course of the whole adventure, Like I have said Once AGAIN, Earning about 1,000,000 dollars earns you a good ending AND a very luxurious house to go along with It! But on the down side, Earning about 500 dollars or less gives you a sad and shameless ending with very reasons to feel sad and depressed after all of your tried out efforts. Well, yeah, You know how long this game will most likely last you. It is nowhere as big and extrordinary as the next few games in the series, but this was the very first game of the trilogy! So let nintendo take their time.

Difficulty-5/10
Aside from ALL that I have just said, the game however, suffers from a very very low difficulty level, By the time I completed this game for the very first time, I had just about fifty-five or so lives left! And never once has that said number went down! But as we were saying, the game will not give you a hard time by any means at all, But the game has something for all players, and It is fun! But if you decide to play It real safe with this game Like I did, then you are going to end up like me, You know, Fifty-five lives, best ending, everything and all the treasures uncovered, you get the point. Sorry If I did not have much to say about this game's difficulty level, I don't really remember much about how the game plays but I will try to remember as much as I can.

Overall-8.2/10
So how did wario's first adventure go? Was It fun? Did It do good for a platformer game? Well of course It did! And so will the rest of the wario games do! But anyways, Let's just get to the scoring reasons and everything else that has to be said about the game! I gave this game a 8.2 because It is fun, lengthy, challenging, big, and just such an amazing platformer to play over and over again at anytime at all! The game is not as spunky or wholesome as the Other plumber's adventures are, But It is still worth a go! So anyways, This has been RedHotToddy's 137th game review, and I will see all of you guys later in my 138th review coming up oh so soon! But anyways, peace out guys!
