Flagman D-D
Flagman D-D[1] (or Flagman D.D.[2][3]) is an unlockable minigame in Wario Land II. It can be unlocked by collecting every piece of treasure and winning every map piece. It is based on the Game & Watch game Flagman, though with updated graphics and D.D. taking the role of being the Flagman.
Gameplay[edit]
Like in the original game, the player has to remember numbers, which need to be repeated in the correct order within a time limit. One point is earned by correctly repeating the whole number sequence. The number sequence increases by one number with every earned point. After three misses, the game is over. The high score can be saved. Initially, only the D.D. shows the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4, which are triggered with the different buttons on the direction pad. A White puff appears when the player scores 10 points, adding the number 5 to the sequence, and a Gugi appears at 15 points, adding the number 6. Those are triggered by using the 
and 
buttons respectively. At 20 points, a person will slowly start moving in a boat far away to distract the player.

Trivia[edit]
- Many graphics for the minigame are recycled from Game Boy Gallery, including its remake of Flagman.
- The background music of Flagman D-D's title screen can also be heard in the “Perfect!” screens of both Wario Land II and Wario Land 3. The latter game’s version of the tune is in a higher key than the earlier game’s version. The “Perfect!” screen shows up after collecting all treasures and panels in the second game, and after the third game’s ending sequence when all treasures have been found.
