The '''Spritelings''' are a [[List of species|species]] in ''[[Wario World]]''. They are forest sprites who assist [[Wario]] during his journey. A total of forty Spritelings are encountered, coming in five different colors. They are trapped in cages and offer advice upon being released by [[Wario]]. Despite their friendly demeanor and serving as allies, they are listed in the enemies section of the ''Wario World'' instruction booklet. Wario claims that this is because they are his "enemies' enemies".


Long before the events of ''Wario World'', the Spritelings encased the evil [[Black Jewel]] as it corrupted any and all who owned it, causing chaos and destruction. The Spritelings trapped it to be put to sleep for all eternity. When [[Wario]] stole the Black Jewel thousands of years later, it was awakened.
The '''Spritelings''' are forest sprites who assist [[Wario]] in ''[[Wario World]]''. They come in five colors and will give him hints and tips to defeat the [[Black Jewel]] if he rescues them from their cage prisons. Despite their friendly demeanor, they are listed in the enemies section of the ''Wario World'' instruction manual, although Wario claims that this is because they are his "enemies' enemies".


During the game's events, the newly awakened Black Jewel traps all Spritelings in small brown cages with black fronts and white, poorly-drawn crying eyes. Wario can free them by attacking the boxes they are trapped in to burst them open. They can be identified by the repeating "Hoo hoo!" noise they make to alert Wario that they are nearby. Each of the eight levels in ''Wario World'' contains five Spritelings to rescue, for a total of forty in the game. Wario seems to show dislike for the Spritelings, instead preoccupying himself with regaining his [[Treasure (Wario franchise)|treasure]]. In the game's ending, the Spritelings help rebuild [[Wario Castle|Wario's castle]]; the more Spritelings Wario rescued throughout the game, the higher quality and larger his new castle will be. The ones he did not rescue will still appear in the game's ending, though they will still be trapped within their cages. In the ending, a red Spriteling talks to Wario to tell him they plan to rebuild his castle, which is then followed by all forty Spritelings (including any in cages) dancing to perform their magic.

The Spritelings make no other appearances, but they are similar in concept and design to the [[Merfle]]s of ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', which are also colorful, fairy-like people in need of rescuing by Wario.
Wario seems to show dislike for the sprites, instead preoccupying himself with regaining his [[treasure (Wario franchise)|treasure]]. However, it is the Spritelings that rebuild Wario's ruined [[Wario Castle|castle]] at the end of the game, and the more Spritelings Wario rescued throughout the course of the game, the better his new castle will be, though the unrescued ones will also be in the ending still in their cages. In the ending, a red Spriteling will talk to Wario and after the first line, extend his arm out.
 
Spritelings live in the depths of the Sacred Forest. They are a tribe rather than a group, and they prefer secluded areas.
 
They are similar in concept and design to the [[Merfle]]s of ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', as they were another colorful, fairy-like, people that needed rescuing.
