Editorial Review

Mario's wicked nemesis just doesn't know when to give up, as evidenced by this fourth chapter in the ongoing WARIO LAND saga. This time around, Wario finds himself in trouble when his greed lands him in the middle of a cursed pyramid. In search of gold and jewels, Wario entered the structure without paying heed to repeated warnings of the pyramid's curse, and now he'll be lucky to escape with his life. Make your way through 20 massive levels as the wicked Wario, collecting as many valuables as you can. You can use your findings to purchase bonus items at the end of each stage, using the acquisitions to further your progress in the game. There are plenty of punches, jumps, kicks, and tricks to master throughout the action, and there are even a handful of mini-games to keep you amused when you're not adventuring. Lots of bad guys and boss characters will try to make your escape more difficult, and there are plenty of unique challenges to stretch your reflexes and imagination.

Warios back. 4 out of 5

Im not a big fan of the wario series but i have played most of them. This one seemed different for some reason. It is different than mario because unstead of going in one direction u go into a series of mazes to defeat enemies. Unstead of jumping on the enemies u run in to them and pick them up. The graphics r ok for the GBA but better then usuall. I like the feature of the motercycle because it is a fun and easy way to defeat enemies. Compared to other Wario games this one is fun and entertaining.


A Wario Game 4 out of 5

This game is easy in general but sometimes there is a difficult boss battle. For me the fun part is the levels where you are just looking for the frog-headed thing and beating up the enimies in your way. The settings are sometimes dreary even though the game is mainly for younger gamers. That doesnt ruin the experience though. Overall, this is an exciting game that stays fun for a long time.


IF YOU WANT THE BEST GBA GAME EVER EVER EVER!!!!! 5 out of 5

THIS GAME IS THE BEST GAME EVER, it is kinda puzzling at times but FUN FUN FUN
GET THIS GAME!!!


ok... not what i expected 3 out of 5

i bought this game because i collect mario games . It wasn't really what i expected, but proved to be a fungame. Some parts of the game are kinda confusing, but you get through them. If you like classic mario games, this isn't one for you. If you like sidescrolling,wario, sorta puzzle games, this game is great. The bosses are pretty unique and some are pretty hard to beat. Over all, a fun wario game.


A great action/puzzle combo 5 out of 5

I am not much of a fan of puzzle games, but WL4 combines elements of mario-style platform gaming and puzzle games in a very fun way, it's one of my favorite games and I think it shows that 2D video games are not dead.

The game starts with a short training stage which familiarizes you with all of Wario's moves. Wario has a wide range of moves (he can pick up and throw objects, roll down hills, stomp, jump, run, dash, and duck). The trick of this game is figuring out where to use these moves to get you to hidden parts of the game.

Each level has 4 jewel pieces you must find. You have unlimited time to explore the level until you find a timer. When you start the timer, you have to rush back to the beginning of the stage before time runs out. When you hit the timer, different blocks become activated/deactivated, which completely changes the layout of the level (making you take a different route back to the beginning of the stage.) This is usually the most frantic and action-packed part of each level, as sometimes you still have jewel pieces to find in the newly opened areas.

The levels are huge and very cleverly designed. You can blow right through them or get lost exploring all the hidden areas. Each level has unique aspects to the environment, which Wario can take advantage of. It's a lot of fun trying to uncover every hidden area, which really ups the replay value.

Also, in each stage there are at least one or two puzzle areas, which is a sort of optionall mini game where you must figure out how to get a diamond using Warios moves and the stages environmental elements. These stages are practically a game withtin themselves. You don't even have to play them, but again, it really helps the replay value of the game.

Fans of the earlier Wario land games might not like the inclusion of an energy meter in this game. In the earlier games, you couldn't die. In WL4, I think it makes the game more intense and makes you play more carefully, as if you lose all your energy in one level, you must start all over again.

The graphics are colorful and detailed, the sound is great. There's a lot of good video game music in this game, and the music is dynamic to what Wario is doing (e.g., if he is ducking, the music slows down, if he is dizzy, the music sounds atonal and crazy)

If you like the Mario games, this is a change of pace from them in a way, but will be familiar enough to get around. This is a great action-puzzler, and one of nintendo's best games.
