After ''Wario Land II'', the crew has been mostly absent from games and seems to be disbanded. The member [[Ball Bunny]] appeared as a boss in ''[[Wario Land 3]]''. Two new species of [[Goom]]s, the [[Spearhead]] and [[Para-Goom]] were also in this game, though they were not affiliated with the pirates. Captain Syrup later reappeared in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'' in her ship [[The Sweet Stuff]], but her crew was nowhere to be found.

In ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'', the Brown Sugar Pirates become famous for stealing a number of treasures, most notably a golden statue of [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]].

After traversing throughout the island, Wario succeeds in both overcoming the Brown Sugar Pirates and eventually defeating Syrup herself.


==Brown Sugar Pirates==
===''Wario Land II''===
The Brown Sugar Pirates (as they were known in ''Wario Land'') were well-known for stealing many great treasures, including a giant golden statue of [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Hearing this, [[Wario]] travels to Kitchen Island, planning to steal their treasures. After traversing throughout the island, Wario succeeded in defeating Syrup's comrades and eventually defeated Syrup herself. [[Mario]] then took the statue of Toadstool right before Wario could get it. Saddened, Wario was cheered up when he stole the rest of the pirate's treasure and had the genies [[Denpuu]] exchange some of it for [[Wario's Castle|a castle]].
In ''Wario Land II'', three Pirate Gooms led by Captain Syrup secretly raid [[Wario Castle]] and loot valuables out of revenge. Outraged, Wario chases them back to Kitchen Island to claim it back. Syrup sends her crew to defeat Wario, though they are unsuccessful. In the end, Wario manages to defeat the Black Sugar Gang once again, and recovers his stolen treasure.

The Brown Sugar Pirates pirates reformed under the name of the Black Sugar Pirates and underwent a member change. The only members of the original Brown Sugar Pirates were Captain Syrup, [[Bobo]], the ship's guard, and [[Zenisukii]], a giant [[Ghost Goom]]. The reformed pirates attacked [[Wario's Castle]], and re-stole back all the treasure that they had stolen from civilians that Wario had stolen from them out of revenge in '''[[Wario Land II]]''. Enraged, Wario returned to Kitchen Island to re-steal "his" stolen treasure. Syrup sent her new officers to defeat Wario, but again they all fell to him. Not even the [[Giant Spear Man]] could defeat Wario, though he tried many times. Eventually, Wario defeated Captain Syrup once again, but found the Giant Spear Man guarding the treasure hoard. Wario defeated him  for the final time, and re-obtained the stolen treasure. The Giant Spear Man then changed sides and followed Wario to his castle.
