Wario World

Wario World is a 3D platform game develop by Treasure and publish by Nintendo for the GameCube. The game’s plot centers on Wario and his quest to regain his treasure and his castle from the evil gem, Black Jewel.

The game was fairly well receive by reviewers, who praise the game’s gameplay while criticizing its short length. The game has sold over 142,000 copies in Japan and over 256,000 copies in the United States. In 2004, the game was re-release as a Player’s Choice title.

Gameplay

Wario World’s gameplay centers mainly on combating enemies, although it requires some platform navigation similar to Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. The controls are simple, and are only use to jump, run, dash, perform fighting moves, and use the “Hyper Suction” ability to collect nearby coins. The level designs are platform-base with combat elements, and have an overall linear design. The levels contain trapdoors, which lead to special platforming or puzzle-orient challenges. Throughout the game, small forest sprites known as “Spritelings” give Wario advice if they are rescue from imprisonment.

But during combat, Wario can grab enemies and either spin them around, throw them, or piledrive them into the ground. Enemies drop coins when defeat. And tend to regenerate if the area is left and return to later. The coins are use to purchase items, such as life-restoring garlic, and to return to life. If Wario does not have enough money to return to life, the game is over.

However, a new feature in Wario World are the spherical “glue globes”, in which Wario is stuck to if he touches it. That allow the player to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. But along the way, Wario can re-collect his lost treasures, which are unseen in treasure chests, and collect pieces of golden Wario statues, which increases Wario’s life meter by one half. Moreover, in order to advance in the game, the player must collect a certain amount of red diamonds in each level. If the player collects all the treasure in the various levels, minigames from the Game Boy Advance title WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames! are unlock, and they can be play by using the GameCube – Game Boy Advance link cable.
