'''''Wario's Woods''''' is a puzzle game released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] in 1994. The game is known for being one of only two games that have [[Toad]] as the main starring protagonist (the other being ''[[Kinopio Live]]'' for the SNES's Japan-only [[Satellaview]] add-on), though ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]''{{'}}s main character is [[Captain Toad]], a similar character.

The game plays almost identically to the [[Wario's Woods (Nintendo Entertainment System)|NES version]]. Toad is the main hero, and [[Birdo]] and a [[Sprite]] help Toad by giving him encouragement and [[bomb]]s to destroy the monsters, respectively. If Toad takes too long to complete a level, Wario replaces Birdo and turns the Sprite into a [[Pidgit]], which throws more monsters at Toad while a [[Thwomp]] drops bombs. Wario occasionally performs a [[Dash Attack|body slam]] attack on the side of his box to make the Thwomp ceiling descend; however, destroying enemies may cause the Thwomp to rise back upward. Like the NES version, Toad can clear 5 monsters/bombs in a row to create diamonds, and he can set off chain reactions that allow Birdo and Sprite to stay or force Wario and Pidgit to leave.
The game plays similarly to drop-down puzzle games such as ''[[Tetris]]''. Toad is the main hero, and [[Birdo]] and a [[Sprite]] help Toad by giving him encouragement and [[bomb]]s to destroy the monsters, respectively. If Toad takes too long to complete a level, Wario replaces Birdo and turns the Sprite into a [[Pidgit]], which throws more monsters at Toad, as well as bombs. Wario occasionally performs a [[Dash Attack|body slam]] attack on the side of his box to make the [[Thwomp]] ceiling descend; however, destroying enemies causes the ceiling to rise back upward. Many enemies unique to this game appear, as well as several mini-bosses who attempt to block Toad's path from getting to Wario.


Pidgit may randomly drop a spotted egg (resembling a [[Yoshi's Egg]]) onto the field which hatches into a monster when it lands, and it will sometimes generate a complete row of that monster which falls from the top of the screen. The color and type of monster will match any of the remaining monster or bomb colors that are on the field as soon as the egg appears.
In the end, Toad bombs Wario's [[Wario Castle|castle]], causing it and him [[Bulldog|airplane]] to be destroyed, sending him falling to the ground. Wario's defeat allows the creatures of the woods to return to living in peace.

[[File:WarioWoods-SNES Menu.png|thumb|left|The SNES menu of ''Wario's Woods''.]]
[[File:WarioWoods-SNES Menu.png|thumb|left|The SNES menu of ''Wario's Woods''.]]
This main menu has six options: VS COM, VS 2P, Round Game, Time Race, Lesson, and Option. Most are the same as their NES counterparts, but more robust.
This version has six game modes: VS COM, VS 2P, Round Game, Time Race, Lesson, and Option. Most are the same as their NES counterparts, but more robust. Round Game adds an overworld map with different locations, such as underground caverns and a [[Wario Castle|castle]], and VS 2P is essentially the same as the NES VS. The exclusive VS COM allows the player to play on three possible difficulty settings against computer-controlled opponents, who are new characters original to this game, such as [[Katsini]], the first opponent. Bosses are removed from Round Game and are instead made the focus of VS COM, with the bosses varying from each level in the game (ie. aquatic characters are the bosses of the underwater levels, while the more powerful characters are located in the castle). Like in the NES version, they attempt to stop Toad's attempt to save the sprites' forest. Upon defeating all the bosses within VS COM, Toad meets Wario himself, and the two duel against each other in the game's final stage.

===VS 2P and VS COM===
VS 2P is the same as VS mode on the NES. Both players occupy their own fields and have their own timers, and a player can force their opponent's Thwomp to descend or add more monsters by using diamonds or setting off chain reactions. The first to win 3 rounds wins the match.
 
The exclusive VS COM essentially follows the same rules as VS 2P, but is played against the computer. It allows the player to play on three possible difficulty settings against computer-controlled opponents, who are new characters original to this game, such as [[Katsini]], the first opponent. Bosses are made the focus of VS COM, with the bosses and settings varying from each level in the game. The level settings in order are the same woods used for VS 2P mode, followed by a grassy clifftop, an underwater cave, a badland pass, and finally Wario's [[Wario Castle|castle]]. Like in the NES version, they attempt to stop Toad's attempt to save the Sprites' forest. Upon defeating all the bosses within VS COM, Toad meets Wario himself, and the two duel against each other in the game's final stage.
 
Cutscenes in VS COM mode consist of the interactions between Toad and each of the opponents that he encounters throughout his adventure, including Wario at the end of the game. Their interactions are all based on their respective personalities, and each opponent often taunts Toad before beginning their battles. If Toad loses against an opponent, they also make fun of and insult him, often causing his emotions to change as depicted by his appearance in each of the cutscenes.
 
===Round Game===
===Round Game===
When the player selects a round number from the Round Game menu, or before every 20th round, there is a cutscene of Wario flying over the woods in  his [[Bulldog|airplane]] as Toad advances, after which the round begins. A Gold Coin bonus is available at the start of each round, but it is reduced by 20% of the starting amount every time Wario enters or leaves. After the round is won, Toad must manually collect the bonus Coins that fall from the top of the screen before they disappear, and the threshold for earning a Continue in the Round Game is now 50 Gold Coins.
The settings for the Round Game are the starting woods from rounds 1-19, a badland pass from rounds 20-39, a crystal forest from rounds 40-59, a nighttime forest from rounds 60-79, and Wario's castle from rounds 80-99. If the player defeats Wario and advances to round 100, the setting reverts to the starting woods.
In the end, Toad bombs Wario's castle, causing it and his airplane to be destroyed, sending him falling to the ground. Wario's defeat allows the creatures of the woods to return to living in peace.

===Time Race===
==Cutscenes==
Time Race mode gives the player the option to play Easy, Normal, or Hard courses, with sets of 2 to 5 rounds in each mode. The player's best times are entered into the Player Records, and when all sets are completed in any mode, the combined time is entered into the All-Time Records, listing time rankings from Gold, Silver, and Bronze down to 7th place. The player's rank is then added to a Technical Rank Certification with all course difficulties.
Cutscenes largely consist of the interactions between Toad and each of the opponents that he encounters throughout his adventure, including Wario at the end of the game. Their interactions are all based on their respective personalities, and each opponent often taunts Toad before beginning their battles. If Toad loses against an opponent, they also make fun of and insult him, often causing his emotions to change as depicted by his appearance in each of the cutscenes.

===Lesson===
Lesson mode offers lessons for the player to learn how to use the A, B, X, and Y buttons in the game, how to make a diamond appear, how to form a chain reaction, and other miscellaneous techniques. Each lesson is divided into 9 examples, and the player may return to the menu by pressing the Start button.
