it was made by Treasure, bizarre yet thoroughly impressive boss fights are basically most of their games.

Fun fact: if you stay at the pause screen for 50 minutes, Wario will say sorry, I guess for being so annoying with his obnoxious taunting.

This game was so much fun, but was so weird, DK Jungle Beat was also a weird experimental game from nintendo, with a boss who is literally a giant gorilla who you punch to death, use a pair of drums, if that isn't weird, i don't know what is! xD I'm glad you referenced DJ Jungle Beat, that game is so underrated.

I think the fact Wario will fight gods and monsters beyond comprehension for... his own greed, that's just badass.

Cursed items in games are so common and often even beneficial nowadays, so seeing a single cursed treasure causing this much chaos is downright refreshing.

Thanks for doin this vid man! To paraphrase another KZreadr there’s something oddly absurd and comforting about taking on a terrifying Eldritch abomination like the winter windster and being able to beat it to death with your bare hands lol

This game is very special to me. While the reviewers said is was fairly short at least it's short and sweet, it doesn't over stay it's welcome. I wish you had mentioned the Game Boy Advance connectivity via the Link Cable so you could play the WarioWare, Inc Mega Micro games, though I doubt anyone still has access to one of those these days.

7:33 the point about everything having a face. I wanna say this is a visual joke for how most mario games up till then had faces on basically everything. The hills, some coins, some blocks, even stars and shine sprites and powerups all had faces. The inverse for a wario game having creepy more realistic and detailed faces everywhere seems hilarious in that way.

Fun fact about those birds and magicians in mirror mansion. They transform if you piledrive them. The magicians break out of their straight jackets and start tossing the locks at you. Meanwhile the birds become ninja woodpeckers chasing you on the ground trying to stab you.

I really liked this video, would love to see more long-form gaming content like this, outside of just the icebergs, I mean.

This game makes me take psychic damage when I try to remember stuff about it. None of my memories of it make sense at all but its good to know, its because it doesn't make sense at all.

“Nintendo” is a funny way to say “treasure”

I loved the Gamecube era for many things, one of them being the fact that almost everyone got their own 3D game. Out of the big 2D platformer mascots by Nintendo, Yoshi is still missing his own 3D game.

Tbh "the game is too short," while very true and a totally reasonable complaint, is also kind of a compliment. The crituc is basically saying "I wish I could have played this more." Looking back, it's ridiculously short and somewhat repetitive, but as a kid playing it I don't remember thinking that at the time (too busy being unnerved by the bosses)

ive played/watched a LOT of weird, fever-dreamy games, and this is way up there

10:19 LOT LIZARD 🦎

I am so happy you covered this. Some how I just realised I never was subcribed, but been watching your vids for a good while. I never see anyone else talk about this game but all of a sudden I been seeing way more people bringing this game up than any other time. Thought I would be the only one. Great video, treasure braught some gem designs here.

personally I love when videos are longer. & it'd be awesome to see some more retrospectives like this from you

A cool fact I learned is that if you suck at the shell game, you can actually just pay attention to where Wario is looking in the Mean MC fight. Wario always looks at the bosses so his ugly mug will always be looking at the correct cup.

the Winter Windster doesn't shoot a laser to inflate Wario... it deconstructs itself and goes inside him to do that, like a wind elemental hopping into a balloon. Yuck!

Glad to see someone talking about this childhood fever dream

Came in just to say that it felt special because it was made by Treasure only to find that like 5 people already had made the distinction. Good to see legendary studios get recognition

Still have it. Never forgot it. My dad hated the nah nah nah naaaah nah pause screen lmao.

Funny you mentioned Brawl doll causing nervousness in kids because I genuinely remember being phobic of the level because of Brawl doll. something about the music and the creepy opening and how dark the stage gets when you remove all the torches just really triggered something. To the point I even asked my friends IRL if it scared them too, which they both replied "Ah I didn't think it was scary as much as creepy". I got over it a bit later when I just toughed it out and realized it's not "So scary" but I think that's one of the last times I was so creeped out by something in a game that I refused to play the stage for awhile.... and then I saw 9-volt's stage in Wario Ware Move it.... 32 years old and just seeing that in a video had me sleeping with a night light on. I swear it's when you LEAST expect something creepy that it's SO much worse than games like Asylum or Resident Evil where the creepiness is the point. but bright cheery Mario games having that stuff... WOO!

I definitely liked your video though. Nice way to revisit a game that's nostalgic to me. It's one of those types that you have a few hours to play and just kind of do it and go "Yeah that was satisfying. Not great, but the itch is scratched" and then kind of do something else. More so I'm glad it exists more than not because like Luigi's Mansion and even Mario Sunshine, Nintendo's most memorable games are when they did break the formula and you can really tell they wanted to try something wildly different. I like your sense of humor too. Never being so condescending it sounds offensive (like insulting a character design in a way that sounds more like insulting the people who might like it), but being just sarcastic enough to remind me of Seer or Particular Mushroom where even if you like the game and details you have to agree they are a little odd, they're both really fun to listen to so to remind me of Seer is a HUGE compliment! Yeah very good on ya! Excellent revisit of this video!

Never had the chance to play Wario World, so it was really nice to watch a video where you feel like you’re playing and beating it together

I fondly remember and love Wario World, it was my first GameCube game

This video is so incredibly good. I started watching it recently while trying to go to sleep and I actively sought it out again to really watch it and pay attention to everything. Keep up the good work!

absolutely do more retrospectives!

Just ran through the game 100% the other day, and I wish we got another wario game like this, maybe even an upscale remake.

Yes, nintendo hired treasure to make this. Its kinda well known to wario fans as his only 3d outing. Im glad its still being talked about though, mean more people have/will discover it.

I enjoyed this game, pile driving bosses was always fun.

This game was one of my favorite games on gamecube when it came out. Wish I could go back in play it 😭

I've never played this game, so it was like a Gambado walkthrough for me. Love the format, great vid

The Jason mask is spot on unnerving. But works so good. High recommend playing the JP version (cough emulator) a 2nd run to experience how much a blood pump Black Jewel becomes. Absolutely mind blowing to the 12 year old me first playing

Great vid can't get enough of your content

By the way, I don't think a game should ever be criticised for being "too short". If anything, it can be too expensive for what you get. But just being short in and of itself is not a criticism. If you beat the game and think to yourself, "Man, I wanna play more of that!" then it just means the game was good and didn't overstay its welcome. Portal is also a very short game, but no one would argue that this detracts from the game's quality. It's exactly as long as it needs to be. And the price reflects that. But yeah, I don't know what Wario World's original price was, but I think if it was sold for, let's say 30 bucks or 40 at most, then people shouldn't complain about the length.

Bro that speech you had about the Jason masks in the cars, I thought I was the only one. People in my city started doing that a few months ago and I always have the split second flight or fight response until I realize what I'm looking at.

I always thought they should've doubled down on the whole "enemies are actually made of Wario's treasures" bit by giving the Black Jewel attacks where it uses Wario's treasures against him. Like forming a pile of coins into extended limbs, using huge gems to deal blunt force damage, using ornate swords as weapons, shooting coins as projectiles (which you could actually still collect after they hit something). It could summon a treasure chest to shield itself, which you need to bash open, maybe using an enemy that it spawns. It could swim through a sea of coins like Scrooge McDuck and pop up in different places, playing whack a mole with you. It could swing around on a pearl necklace, or maybe use it as a whip. It could roll glamorous Fabergé eggs at you. Maybe they are decorates with spiky gems, while others aren't, so you have to find ones that you can grab and throw back. Also, it's a shame that in the actual fight, it never really uses its tentacles. It would've been fun if, at the end, it got fed up and just started using 2 of its tentacles as legs, the other 2 as arms, and simply walked up to you to smack the shit out of you personally, the same way you've done throughout the whole game. There's certainly a lot that could be done with this, but I guess they were already short on time. I'd love to see this concept revisited in a Wario World Sequel.

That or a in warioware remake they could add new bosses themed off treasure

I actually remember being so surprised in Pecan Sands when the world two boss showed up! Blew my mind as a kid playing this game.

When I was a kid I found an article or post about this game saying you could unlock swords after fighting Mario and Luigi in a maze. I was like no way this is legit. To this day I’m not sure if it was. I tried when I had it as a kid but figured it was fake. I’m sure I can still find it.

Great video! Really enjoyed it. Your style of narration would definitely fit these types of retrospectives so keep it up.

Wario World is totally Mischief Makers' spiritual successor. It's even made by Treasure.

With Clownaround, you didn't mention you can dodge the big ball explosion thingie by standing in the alchoves on the sides of each platform. Just in case you miss your ride across the tightrope.

Imagine waiting a whole year to publish a game in your home country cause you thought it was too weird.

Fun-fact about the Winter Windster : In the manga Ore Dayo! Wario Dayo!! (which follows the events of Wario World) this boss is referred to as a girl in the french translation because she has a much cuter, effeminate face than the one she has in the game.

7:33 That moon looks like it wants to steal all your garlic.

I’ve 100% this game, and while I don’t mind the overall short length, the worst thing about WarioWorld is the complete lack of post ending content. Once you finish the game, you literally have zero reason to replay, other than just to have fun with the gameplay mechanics. Some sort of New Game + function to unlock new content would have done wonders to extend the games lifecycle.

I don’t like this game as much as I used to but I do still appreciate it for being the closest Nintendo ever got to making a traditional beat ‘em up. You got your one button combo, you have your grabs, you got the waves of enemies and bosses you have to defeat before the game lets you progress the level, you have your enemy reskins, ect.

Red Brief J single-handedly answers the question, "Where's the beef?"

Loved the video as a whole... But Treasure made this game, not Nintendo lol. Granted, Nintendo probably had final creative say, but it does urk me a little you negelected to mention that at all. This very fact would help explain a lot of the strangness in the game, Treasure frequntly has done some odd stuff. Go look up McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure or Mischef Makers if you want more of what I'm talking about. Still though, fun video, keep it up

This games aesthetic always stuck with me. That goofy/uncanny look. Even those basic 1st level yellow ones look like a kind of stupid that doesn’t know anything else but death.

I still remember seeing ads for it in gaming magazines and being so excited when my parents ordered it for me and my bro to play. I frikken love this game, its so weird and different. All the bosses scared me as a kid, it really was like a mini horror game. Awesome video! I like that you touched on the japanese final boss too. When I learned about that I was so shocked.

Dino MIghty feels like a bootleg version of Birdo and Yoshi combined

Wario world and the wario Land series were some of my all-time favorite Nintendo games growing up. Legit bought a purple-clear night light add-on for my purple-clear GBC just so I could have more wario time

I remember playing the game many years ago, it was fun game despite it being short. Would absolutely love a sequel to be develop by Next Level Games.

Nintendo made this game and it was a masterpiece. I loved this game when I was a little kid

Ahh the good ol days. This was a rental from Blockbuster for me, and for whatever reason I didn't have a memory card for me gamecube so getting further into the game is what pushed me to ask my parents for one. The angel thing definitely spooked me when I was a kid. Really wish we could have gotten another, the spinning and piledrivers were so fun to me. If only Nintendo would nut up and make Wario & Waluigi: The Big Heist or whatev.

I had so much fun playing this game. Didn't notice how long I had been playing until my dad came into my room and said it was morning already. Anyway, since you mentioned Wario Land 3 at the start, I suggest you talk about that game next and how it's technically a Metroid game. There's a number of parallels that can be made comparing it to Metroid Fusion as well. Now I'm just imagining the box art for Wario Land 3 but with Samus's power armor helmet over Wario's face as you call it the The Missing Metroid. Made a video reading an essay about why it's the most unique metroidvania, if you want to check it out. Consider Fusion more of a sequel than Wario Land Advance ever was.

Brawl doll does become quite annoying if the battle goes on too long, where it will start doing a continuous charging attack.

This game will always hold a special place in my heart. I'm surprised I wasn't more creeped out in retrospect.

27:22 omg I remember being super young and getting stuck on that cuz I didnt know what to do. I was playing on someone else's console starting from the middle of the game so I didn't have experience from the first half of the game I'm glad i never got past the level though because i was super arachnophobic back then and would've had a panic attack seeing the boss

I forgot I played this game until watching this, memories unlocked holy wow

I know deep in my soul, nintendo is sitting on the bizarre gold mine that Wario World can be. They have mastered the aspects of platforming in the 3d space, and theres no real limit of the type of art direction that you can take in the game. Maybe add some of the Wario Ware characters so its not a lone journey. But over all, we need that EGGSALAD energy in the game, if it ever comes out.
