Wario World Review

The worlds

The worlds and levels are very varied. You'll be taking Wario through forests, ruins, haunted mansions, a wonky circus, snowy mountains, and sand-filled deserts. Each stage is filled with small details and vibrant colors. Treasure's level designers have done a great job of creating interesting and large stages. Some of the most interesting level design relies heavily on graphical gimmicks such as navigating through an area with the help of a wall or floor of mirrors.

Monkeys. Clowns.

There are only about half a dozen types of enemies in Wario World. Normally, things would get boring with such a limited range, but it's all kept interesting with the game adding a fresh coat of paint every stage and world you move through. In the jungle area, you could be fighting monkeys; and in the circus, you'll be battling clowns. What gives the illusion away is that the animations and enemy AI are obviously recycled. To a certain extent, this is forgivable since you're duking it out with monkeys and clowns. Think about that, people.

Starting the wild swing-ding


All that spare design time from recycling regular enemies must have went into designing the bosses of Wario World, all of which are unique and imaginative. You'll be seeing all sorts of completely whack bosses such as a dinosaur in a bikini set, a flying baby, a double dragon, a pirate, and a few others. Boss fights are also quite distinctive, one particularly memorable one is where you play the ole "three shell" game where you must guess which cup a boss is under in order to attack him.

 Random fact
Many of us would think that Wario's name comes the fact that an upside-down 'M' (for Mario) would be a 'W' -- which makes perfect sense since he is just a twisted, evil version of Mario.
