'''''Wario World''''' is a | '''''Wario World''''' is a platformer game for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] released in 2003. It is a spin-off of the ''[[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land]]'' games, and marked [[Wario|Wario's]] first starring appearance on a home game console. In 2004, it was re-released as a [[Player's Choice]] title. This is the sixth platformer game starring [[Wario]] overall and, thus far, the only 3D platformer game in the [[Wario (franchise)|''Wario'' franchise]]. | ||

"Ah, ha ha! I've finally done it!" Wario chuckles to himself as he does some exploring up his nose. Why does he chuckle, you ask? Because he's finally completed construction of his beloved castle! "So, whatddya think? Pretty sweet, eh? The sparkling golden walls, the luxurious chandeliers... And how about these marble floors? It's a wonderfully gorgeous castle for wonderful and gorgeous me. Hey, by the way- and this is a secret- the lower chambers are brimming with jewels and treasures that I've pilfered from all around the world! What? You wanna take a peek? No way! They're mine, all mine! ... As if I'd actually let you put a single grubby finger on any of my fine treasures! Please! I'm not even gonna let you look at any of them!" Yes, Wario is feeling pretty fine. However, unbeknownst to him, something terrible has happened to his jewels. Sleeping buried under all of his treasures is a powerful black jewel that all but wiped out civilization long ago. And now, on an evening where a red moon rises, the evil black jewel awakens. "Huh? What's all that noise downstairs?! I was just getting ready to floss the gunk out of my toes! Gah! I HATE distractions!" | "Ah, ha ha! I've finally done it!"

When Wario finally notices that something strange is happening, it's already too late. The evil black jewel downstairs has managed to engulf many of the other treasures and is rapidly growing larger and larger! And not only that--it's churning out monsters as well! Yes, that's right! It seems that the curse that this jewel carries lets it turn treasures into monsters. To make matters worse, the black jewel has decided that it wants to build a kingdom of its own and is changing Wario's world into quite a weird place. | :When Wario finally notices that something strange is happening, it's already too late.

This new world is separated into four sections: [[Excitement Central]], [[Spooktastic World]], [[Thrillsville]], and [[Sparkle Land]]. Each world consists of two levels and a boss fight. The worlds are reached from a main hub area. The hub area also leads to the [[Treasure Square]] where the huge treasure box containing the black jewel is placed. Wario must travel through all worlds before going up to defeat the black jewel and lock it back in its chest where it belongs. After defeating the jewel, he regains his castle and riches. | ||

''Wario World'' | ==Gameplay== | ||
[[File:WW To Do List.png|thumb|200px|left]] | |||
''Wario World'' is a 3D platformer. Each level has three objectives: beat the boss, collect all eight of the [[Gold Statue]] pieces and get all eight of [[Wario's Treasures]] back. After completing both levels in a world, the boss fight of that world will open. When the world boss is beaten, the next world opens. Wario can use several moves to defeat his enemies in various ways, such as spinning them around or slamming their head into the ground. | |||
Each time the player collects all treasures in a world, a [[microgame]] from ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' is unlocked. These games can only be played using a Game Boy Adapter. | |||

== | ==Moves== | ||
[[File:Wario Dash Attack WarioWorld.png|thumb|The Dash Attack, one of Wario's moves.]] | |||
[[Wario]] has many moves in this game. They are: | |||
*[[Jump]] | |||
*[[Punch]] - A move common with Wario, it helps him beat up enemies and crush objects. | |||
*[[Dash Attack]] - One of Wario's signature moves, he rushes forward and uses his shoulder to ram into anyone or anything. | |||
*[[Hyper Suction]] - Wario can open his mouth to suck in nearby coins, similar to [[Kirby]]. | |||
*[[Ground Pound]] - A move that appears in many platformers in some way, Wario can pound enemies with the weight of his body. | |||
*[[Corkscrew Conk]] - Wario can turn into a rampaging, spinning yellow ball and hit high-flying enemies. | |||
===Mad Moves=== | |||
The three Mad Moves are Wario's three most powerful moves, and can only be used after picking up an enemy first. Using them is the only way to damage many of the game's bosses. | |||
*[[Mega Toss]] - After stunning and picking up an enemy, Wario can throw it with all his might. | |||
*[[Piledriver]] - After stunning an enemy, he can also use them to slam, hard, into the ground, destroying that enemy and damaging any others nearby. Wario can also use this move to drill through special Trapdoors. | |||
*[[Wild Swing-Ding]] - Wario can also swing an enemy around at a very fast speed, taking out groups of other enemies, or use them to open special doors that require him to spin the enemy in front of a switch. | |||

The ''{{wp|Play (US magazine)|Play}}'' magazine gave the game a perfect score, stating that "''Wario World'' pays off every second the player holding the controller, and that is greatness". ''{{wp|Game Informer}}'' praised the game's boss battles. {{wp|IGN}}'s reviewer, Matt Casamassina, stated that "the game is fine, but not as fine as a ''Mario'' game".<ref>https://m.uk.ign.com/articles/2003/06/19/wario-world-2</ref> | ||

|''Wario will inevitably be back, and we do hope Treasure is at the helm once again, but what this game needed more than anything was variety and more inspiration than Mario and Wario titles. As it is, priceless moments of its own making are too few and too far between, and although it gets so much right - controls, perspective, distribution of collectibles and level design - all it represents is a good rental or something to buy on Player's Choice in six months' time.'' | |''Wario will inevitably be back, and we do hope Treasure is at the helm once again, but what this game needed more than anything was variety and more inspiration than Mario and Wario titles.

|''There are some pretty cool things going on in Wario World--let's face it, any game with a spinning pile driver already has at least one strong point in its favor--but the game's mechanics are shallow, there aren't enough levels, and the game is easy enough to complete in an afternoon. There are some things to like here, but nothing that can't be experienced to the fullest by merely renting the game.'' | |''There are some pretty cool things going on in Wario World--let's face it, any game with a spinning pile driver already has at least one strong point in its favor--but the game's mechanics are shallow, there aren't enough levels, and the game is easy enough to complete in an afternoon.
