    I guess it's forgettable in that it came out in 2018 on the 3DS, a time when most people didn't really care about the 3DS anymore. As a result, only pretty passionate WarioWare fans, 3DS enthusiasts or people who genuinely wanted to try out WarioWare in light of a year-long drought, noticed the game releasing and bothered enough to buy it, bought it.

    Yeah wario ware golds in that wonderfully rough spot of being built around highlighting the best of ds functionality based minigame. Its a glorious send off to an era thats packed and got a lot of love but the very nature of it required it to be on hardware that a lot of gamers quit altogether when the switch dropped. Great game but i imagine the sales outside of die hard fans suffered for it.

Now, Wario, Waluigi, and the rest of the WarioWare employees go on an adventure to confront the baddie to get revenge along with getting some treasure along the way as to pay for the medical bills and a new building.

    I think it's time to realize that any character that has been in any media consistently for 15+ years is going to have a verity of artists interpret their character in various different ways to tell whatever new story they want to tell. And therefore, many characters have an "identity crisis" save for characters that have no real personality.

    I feel like the video falls apart when you realize that wario ware became really popular because it was probably one of the few Nintendo IP teams that was highly sold because a lot of parents probably saw the title of mini game and they got more bang for the bucks compared to the other options Out there since most games I grew up with usually had more than just one style. It was very rare whenever I had a handheld game that didn’t have multiple things happening in each stage

    Wario has been my favorite Nintendo character every since I played Mario Kart 64 as a kid, so I find it a bit depressing how little love he gets. Wario Land 4 is genuinely one of my favorite games of all time, the gameplay mixed with the insane artstyle and banger soundtrack is just perfection

    Wario is my favorite video game character of all time. For one, I like his design; I have an affinity for big, burly characters, especially goofy-looking ones, and that's Wario in a nutshell. I also really like how he's basically Mario but with his features exaggerated, to emphasize how he's the "anti-Mario". For another, I like how Wairo and his games are allowed to be weird and unique in ways Mario games typically aren't allowed to be. Mario has had some weird, even crazy titles, but those are usually reserved for spin-offs (or at least they used to be), while Wario's games seem to be weird by default. The free boundaries when it comes to what Wario is or "supposed to be" allows for a lot of creativity and imaginative stuff, in regards to the gameplay, visuals, music, and level design. But the thing I love and appreciate most about Wario is that he's an incredibly versatile character. This video opens up with the seeming "contradiction" of Wario being very much like Mario only to suddenly be seen as a biker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, from the perspective of someone only familiar with Wario through Mario spin-offs, and then goes into how his character "fluctuates" depending on the game, but honestly, with the possible exception of his role in Subspace Emissary, Wario has never really felt out-of-character in any of his appearances. Over time, his personality has been built up and refined to emphasis two things: greed and selfishness. What drives the plot in all Wario games is Wario's desire for things, usually money and treasure, or to get revenge against someone, typically for taking his stuff or treasure. He took over Mario's castle (which I guess he has, apparently) out of jealousy, sure, but it's his desire to have a castle of his own that motivates him to doing what he did in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. Wario helps the Hidden Figure collect the Five Music Boxes in Wario Land 3, but only after the Hidden Figure says he can keep whatever treasure he finds along the way. The Merfle thinks Wario is helping him to free Queen Merelda from the Shake King, but he's clearly more interested in getting the Bottomless Coin Sack. Even with the WarioWare games, the only reason he starts up his own video game company is because he's looking to score some easy cash, hence why he calls his friends to do most of the work. Even the more crude aspects of Wario's personality have basically always been there. While I admit, I'm not a fan of how more recent games and ESPECIALLY Super Smash Bros. tend to emphasis the toilet humor and him farting over anything else about that, it's not like he was a clean character before this. He picks his nose, scratches his butt, drools while he sleeps. Again, Wario is allowed to be things Mario typically isn't, and that includes being a little gross every now and then... even if I would REALLY like Nintendo to stop acting like Wario is only one big fart joke. All-in-all, there's a lot to like about Wario, and I wish more people would see that. I legit watched someone play Wario Land 4 for the first time, and they were shocked because, in their own words, they only knew Wario as "that guy from the Mario games who farts", and that frustrates me so much. There is so much potential with this character and Nintendo is in a position where they're focusing on bigger, "safer" projects and don't really have time to make the smaller, more off-beat titles they used to make. I legit can't imagine anyone within Nintendo actually wanting to make another Wario Land game, or do anything besides make more WarioWare games, and don't get me wrong, I love WarioWare, but I feel like certain elements of Wario's image and personality are lost in only focusing on WarioWare. Wario is and always has been a goofball, but he's also kind of a badass, hence why his signature move is his shoulder bash, and that's just something you don't get to see too often in the WarioWare games. Hopefully either someone within Nintendo finally takes notice of fans wanting a new Wario Land installment, or someone approaches them with a really strong pitch for something similar to that, because I really want to see the "full package" Wario of being silly and strong come back someday.

    Y'know I had no idea the devs behind Metroid 2 created Wario/Mario Land 2... But it is kinda fitting looking back. Since the engine for Wario Land 4 was used to make Metroid Fusion, and I think Zero Mission if I'm not mistaken. Essentially the Metroid devs created Wario, and Wario devs later returned the favor. Funny how things work out

    I'll always talk about and recommend Wario World. Won't act like it's perfect, but it has a satisfying gameplay loop (once you understand it), great fluid controls, and a banger soundtrack. One of my favorite quick setup, no bs action platformers, and probably my favorite of the Mario trio games on the GC (Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion) which is saying quite a bit.

    dunno man, as much as he wario was a shoe in for the wario ware series, i feel like it builds a lot on his character. looking over his double-dash item, to mariokart courses with his name on it, to his own games, it really draws a picture of a guy that will do anything for money. he only committed crime punishable by law in his debut title (im sure terrorism is legal in mario sporting events), his courses in the MK series are probably as shoddy and ramshackle and improvised as they because he only wants to meet the bare minimum and still get paid (presumably) for contributing tracks for racing. in short really like the different ways this side character of a man has his greed personalized in the entries he's featured in

    I just think it’s really funny to think this guy went from a treasure hunter to a surprisingly decent game dev, makes Warrior feel more like a regular guy compared to the other Mario characters and that’s kinda why I loved him as a kid. Dude just has his own life and friends outside the main group and I was always just happy for him, good on him to not get boxed into just being “evil Mario” and carving his own path in life.
