'''''Wario Land 3''''' is a video game for the [[Game Boy Color]] released in [[List of games by date#2000|2000]], and the third installment in the ''[[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land]]'' series (fourth counting ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]''). It was rereleased for the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] in Japan on May 2, [[List of games by date#2012|2012]], in Europe and Australia on December 6, 2012, and in the Americas on August 29, [[List of games by date#2013|2013]]; and later rereleased for the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s [[Game Boy - Nintendo Switch Online]] service as one of its launch titles on February 8, 2023. To escape the [[music box (world)|world inside a music box]], [[Wario]] must collect the five [[Music Box|music box]]es, with the help of treasures found along the way that include power-ups and ones that open up the world.

 

One day, Wario is flying with his [[Bulldog|plane]] over the woods until it runs out of fuel and crashes. Stranded, Wario then stumbles upon a mysterious cave, where inside he discovers a [[music box (world)|strange music box containing a small world inside]] sitting on a pedestal. When he goes to take a closer look, he is suddenly magically sucked into the music box. He then wakes up inside a [[The Temple|dark temple]] to meet [[Rudy|a hidden figure]], who informs Wario that he is a god who once protected the world inside the music box, until an evil being sealed away his magical powers within five [[Music Box|music boxes]] scattered across said world. The figure promises that if Wario can gather the boxes and free it, it will send Wario back outside and allow him keep any treasure he finds along the way. With his mind on the money and the fact he can return to his own world, Wario agrees to this proposal and departs on his quest in search of the music boxes and the many treasures of this mysterious land. During which, several monsters attempt to impede his progress, but were unsuccessful in stopping the treasure hunter.

After collecting all the music boxes, Wario returns to the temple. Once there, the music boxes play a melody together, and the song frees the sealed being. However, the being turns out to be an evil clown-like demon, who announced his plan to rule over the world inside the music box as well as the outer world. It then attempts to destroy Wario since he outlived his usefulness, but Wario is able to defeat it. After the demon was vanquished, all the monsters that attacked Wario before are turned back into humans. An elder explains that their world was peaceful until the demon invaded, so they managed to seal away its power within the five music boxes, but not before they were turned into monsters. He then states that they only tried to stop Wario from releasing the demon and letting it continue its conquest, but never thought that he would destroy it and free them from its curse. He thanks Wario for what he unintentionally did for them and transports him back to his world along with the treasure that he had collected, as promised before by the hidden figure.

The base mechanics in ''Wario Land 3'' are very similar to that of its predecessor, ''[[Wario Land II]]''. If [[Wario]] touches an enemy, he is simply stunned or transformed in one of his many transformations, known as reactions in the ''Wario Land'' series (one exception is in the final boss fight, where Wario can be "killed" and get a [[Game Over]]). Wario can crouch and walk using the direction pads, use a Dash Attack by pressing the {{button|gbc|B}} button and jump using the {{button|gbc|A}} button.  

The game has a more open structure than its predecessors. Wario starts the game with most of his powers from ''Wario Land II'' missing or toned down. To progress, the player has to collect treasures which grant him new abilities, open new levels or cause changes in the existing levels that allow one to reach previously inaccessible areas. The world map is divided into levels, which the player can enter and leave as they please. Should the player not know where to go, they can go to the [[The Temple]], which indicates where to go next. By holding {{button|gbc|b}} in the overworld, the player can check the path that Wario can travel on the overworld, and if Wario moves to a different part of the map, he can press the same direction on the {{button|gbc|pad}}, he moves faster to the destination.

This ''Wario Land'' installment features a day and night system; after clearing a level, day turns in night or night turns in day. This system affects some levels, and some treasures can only be accessed at a specific time of the day.

{|class="wikitable"width=100%

|[[File:WL3WarioSprite.png]]

|[[Wario]]

|Wario's normal form with no reaction. He starts out the game powerless, but as he progresses into the game, he can collect power-ups that will allow him to perform the [[Ground Pound|Smash Attack]], swim and dive into the water, strengthen his signature [[Dash Attack|Attack]], lift light and heavy enemies, etc. This is the only form of Wario that can enter doors and open treasure chests, as well as grab an [[Owl (species)|owl]] or a zipline handle.

|[[File:WL3BallWarioSprite.png]]

|[[Ball (form)|Ball]]

|When jumped on by Shoot, Wario becomes a ball. If touched, he will be used to score a point, which will revert him to normal if he is still in the soccer game. He can slowly move left or right while bouncing and can also be grabbed and thrown by the tortoise goalkeeper to revert to normal. Likewise, Wario can inflict the same effect on Shoot.

|[[File:WL3Ballo'StringWarioSprite.png]]

|[[Ball o' String Wario]]

|When touched by a Silky while it is spitting string, Wario will roll back and forth across a course, bouncing off walls, until he eventually unravels back into Wario. This can be used to break [[Itodama Block]]s.

|[[File:WL3BouncyWarioSprite.png]]

|[[Bouncy Wario]]

|After getting hit on the head by a Hammer-bot, Wario keeps bouncing and can jump to new heights. While on the ground, pressing {{Button|gbc|A}} causes Wario to bounce higher. After an amount of time, Wario will return to normal. This form will end immediately if he jumps into water, on spikes, or taking on a different reaction.

|[[File:WL3BubbleWarioSprite.png]]

|[[Bubble Wario]]

|Wario is trapped inside a bubble, allowing him to keep floating upward until he hits something. While inside the bubble, Wario has the ability to resist [[current]]s in the water.

|[[File:WL3CrazyWarioSprite.png]]

|[[Crazy Wario]]

|Wario becomes a hard-to-control, where he uncontrollably moves back and forth. Unlike ''[[Wario Land II]]'', Crazy Wario cannot exhale a poisonous gas to defeat enemies and does not change color. Water or getting hurt will revert Wario to a normal state.

|[[File:WL3ElectricWarioSprite.png]]

|[[Electric Wario]]

|[[File:WL3FatWarioSprite.png]]

|[[Fat Wario]]

|Wario after swallowing an [[Appleby]]'s apple or a [[Doughnuteer]]'s donut. With Wario's extra weight, he can easily break through breakable blocks even when Wario has not obtained any [[Ground Pound|Smash Attack]]-related powerups, and also break [[doughnut block]]s. As a side-effect, Wario is slow and cannot jump as high as normal, but if any enemy runs into him (or if he runs into them) they will instantly be defeated. After moving for a while or going into water, Wario will lose weight and return to normal.

|[[File:WL3FlatWarioSprite.png]]

|[[Flat Wario]]

|When Wario is flattened by an [[Omodon]] or a [[Count Richtertoffen]], he can glide smoothly in the air to reach farther places in the air and slip through tiny cracks in walls. Even without the High Jump Boots, Wario can hold {{button|Padup}} and jump to jump a block higher. Water and [[Omodonmeka]] can turn Wario to normal.

|[[File:HotWarioWL3.png]]

|[[Flaming Wario|Hot Wario]]

|After Wario is burned, he starts running around with his pants on fire and will slowly burn more intently until he is reduced to cinders. Wario can break through [[Bonfire Block]]s when he's completely enveloped in flames. If Wario makes contact with water or the fire subsides, he will return to normal.

|[[File:WL3IceSkatin'WarioSprite.png]]

|[[Frozen Wario|Ice Skatin' Wario]]

|Wario is frozen solid and sent skimming backwards, until he hits a wall. Although a usual inconvenience, he can slide past spikes and defeat most enemies on his path.

|[[File:Invisible-Wario.gif]]

|[[Invisible Wario]]

|Wario is invisible, so he can pass through [[seeing-eye door]]s. However, aside from an occasional glimpse, the player cannot see Wario, either, making this a very difficult transformation to use. Unlike all other Wario Forms, he can still walk through doorways. When Wario goes through [[Warp Pipe|pipes]], he reverts to normal. The invisibility also goes away after Wario takes on a different reaction.

|[[File:WL3PuffyWarioSprite.png]]

|[[Puffy Wario]]

|When hit by a stinger from an enemy, Wario's head is filled with air. Wario will float upwards until he hits something.

|[[File:WL3SnowmanWarioSprite.png]]

|[[Snowman Wario]]

|When Wario is covered in falling snow, he becomes a snowman. If Snowman Wario rolls down a slope, he can break [[Snowman Block]]s, though some can only be broken if the snowball is big enough. Wario can defeat every enemy in this form.

|[[File:WL3VampireWarioSprite.png]] [[File:VampireBatWarioWL3.png]]

|[[Vampire Wario]] and [[Bat Wario|Bat-Wario]]

|When getting touched by [[Kobatto]], Wario transforms into a vampire and can defeat every enemy he touches. Plus, by pressing the {{Button|gbc|B}} Button, Wario will go to bat form, when he can fly in short spurts. To turn into his normal self, he must touch a head of garlic, go into a patch of light, or fall into a pool of water.

|[[File:WL3ZombieWario.png]]

|[[Zombie Wario]]

|Wario is impervious to all enemy damage, can defeat almost all enemies on touch, and fall through thin floors, although he is incredibly slow. Unlike ''[[Wario Land II]]'', he is able to jump, though he cannot jump very high. Water or light will return him to normal Wario.

#'''Lead Overalls''': By pressing the {{button|Paddown}} button in midair, Wario can perform a [[Ground Pound|Smash Attack]]. He can destroy little enemies, damaged blocks and stun big enemies with these overalls. ''(Stunned enemies can be defeated when attacking them again)''

#'''Swimming Flippers''': Allows Wario to swim underwater. By tapping the {{Button|gbc|B}} button, he swims faster. However, he cannot swim against currents.

#'''Head Smash Helmet''': Allows Wario to destroy not only damaged blocks, but also solid blocks by bumping into them from below.

#'''Grab Glove''': Allows Wario to lift small enemies when walking towards them while they are toppled, or small objects. He can throw them forward by pressing the {{Button|gbc|B}} button, or upward when holding {{button|Padup}} after throwing. Charged throws can be done by holding the {{Button|gbc|B}} button and then releasing it, causing enemies/objects to be thrown further and may be destroyed if thrown near a solid surface. [[Enemy Block]]s can be broken by throwing an enemy or object against them.

#'''Super Smash''': Allows Wario to break solid blocks with his [[Dash Attack]]s or when rolling. Damaged blocks can be broken without being stopped and large enemies can be defeated immediately.

#'''Super Jump Slam Overalls''': Similar to the Super Smash, it allows Wario's Smash Attack to break solid blocks, break through damaged blocks unstopped, and defeat large enemies immediately. Additionally, using it on the ground causes the ground to shake, toppling small enemies and certain big enemies.

#'''High Jump Boots''': Pressing {{button|Padup}} while jumping allows Wario to jump higher. Enemies can also be used to perform high jumps when holding {{Button|gbc|B}} while bouncing onto them, and holding {{button|Padup}} while doing so allows Wario to bounce higher.

#'''Prince Frog's Glove''': Allows Wario to swim against strong currents while tapping the {{Button|gbc|B}} button.

#'''Super Grab Gloves''': Allows Wario to lift big enemies as well as normal ones. His speed is reduced while carrying big enemies and they cannot be throw as far as smaller enemies.

After acquiring each treasure required for a power-up, a short tutorial will be played to demonstrate the new abilities that Wario just acquired. The first demonstration must be played in full and cannot be skipped. They can be viewed again if the player pauses the game while playing one of the levels and selecting the Action Help option, allowing one of the tutorials to be played (though they are now skippable), provided that they are not currently Vampire Wario, holding a zipline handle, or holding onto an owl, as in those three cases, they have unique Action Help demonstrations associated with them.

In some levels, Wario will find a block with the word "Mini Game Clear" and an arrow pointing up written on it. Wario can get this block to lift and subsequently opening the way by playing a minigame of golf, which can be accessed by entering a door with a drawing of a [[Para-Goom]] at its top within the level. Several levels have one room to play the Golf minigame, while [[The Vast Plain]] has two: one underground and one in the sky, though it is only required to clear one of them to lift both blocks. To play the minigame, Wario must have enough money in his possession, where it is 10 coins at first, 30 coins later, and finally maxing at 50 coins per entry. The goal for this Golf minigame is to knock Para-Goom into the hole, which is achieved by using Wario's Dash Attack on a Para-Goom to knock it away towards the hole. If it falls into lava or water, another Para-Goom will fall on the closest spot of the lava/water, so that Wario will be able to continue. In order to hit the Para-Goom, the player must press the {{Button|gbc|A}} button to move the blue arrow in the power meter displayed at the bottom of the screen, then press it again to stop it. Then, a red arrow will appear; it must stop on the red or the blue space inside the meter, which affects the bounce of the Para-Goom; should Wario hit outside that range, he will stumble, but the shot will still count despite missing. The player can also use the direction pads (left and right) to get a further view of the hole and also where the Para-Goom will end up if hit with the maximum power. The game is completed if Wario scores par or below, but if Wario did not sink the Para-Goom within the number of shots indicated by the par, the game is over and requires playing again to lift the block.

*[[The Vast Plain]]* (2): Red Chest, Green Chest

*[[Above the Clouds (Wario Land 3)|Above the Clouds]]: Green Chest

In the northern side of the [[music box (world)|music box world]], there is an uncolored building which can be visited by going from north to west (and vice versa). After getting all seven crayons, the building will be fully colored and Wario can play Golf there by visiting it. There are four courses in the building, where three are available from the start and the fourth one only available after getting all of the Musical Coins in all levels. Every course has five holes each, for a total par of 20 each. Each time Wario initiates a course, he must pay 50 coins. Unlike the Golf minigame rooms in the individual levels, Wario can hit as many shots as is required per hole even if he scores above par, though he will be disappointed if that happens. After five holes are completed, the Best Score is recorded if it is achieved.

There are 100 treasures in total Wario can collect, many of which alter the music box world and open new areas to Wario's exploration. However, not all of the treasures are needed to complete the game, as only 48 specific ones are necessary, which excludes any found in three levels: [[Above the Clouds (Wario Land 3)|Above the Clouds]], [[Forest of Fear]], and [[The Warped Void]]. Of the required treasures, they include power-ups, music boxes, and ones guarded by bosses. Only both [[Out of the Woods]] and [[The Stagnant Swamp]] contain treasures where all four in those levels are required to beat the game. The locations for the required treasures will be suggested by a hidden figure if Wario visits the temple before obtaining the bare minimum.

 

Required treasures to beat the game are highlighted yellow.
