Finished VB Wario Land with all the treasures today after missing them when I beat it for the first time last night. The final boss was great!
I actually preferred the ‘bad’ ending if you miss getting all the treasures. You get a coin rank (I was ranked C) and the Beavers messing with Wario was pretty hilarious!
Great game. The variety in level design is good, and its length and scoring emphasis makes it quite replayable. It’s an R&D 1 production through and through, from the high craftsmanship in the pixel art to the inventive boss and level design.
Wario Land 4 is still king, but I like this game’s structure and scoring emphasis a lot. Wario Land 2 and 3 are also excellent but don’t have the replayability of this or 4 due to their move away from action towards exploration and light puzzle solving.
