- This article is about the location. For the NES game that this location appears in, see Wario's Woods (Nintendo Entertainment System). For the SNES game that this location appears in, see Wario's Woods (Super Nintendo Entertainment System).
| Wario's Woods | |
|---|---|
| |
| First appearance | Wario's Woods (NES) (1994) |
| Ruler | Chiyōrō-sama (in manga adaptations) Wario (temporarily) |
| Inhabitants | Sprites and various creatures |
Wario's Woods (formerly known as the Peaceful Woods) is the location of where the events of the game Wario's Woods take place. It was inhabited by the Sprites peacefully until Wario had manipulated and gained control of the woods through his mysterious powers, then he sent out the woods' monsters (imprisoned by the curse he put over them) to overrun the forest. Toad, along with Birdo and the Sprites, ventured into Wario's Woods on a journey to restore peace there. After passing through countless areas and fighting several of Wario's monsters and mini-bosses along the way, Toad and the others reach the end of Wario's Woods, where they meet Wario. A final battle for the woods initiates between Toad and Wario. After being thwarted, Wario is chased out of the woods by Toad. Peace is restored to the woods, including Wario's monsters, which awoke from the nightmare that Wario placed on them.
The SNES version of Wario's Woods has a few differences. The woods has a meadow that is the setting of the majority of Vs. Com mode, has Wario's face cut out in its grass. The posing of this face appears to be based on artwork from Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. The woods are both the first and last areas seen in Round Game mode and the only setting of VS Com mode. The ending instead shows Toad destroying Wario Castle with a single bomb.
The inhabitants of the woods appear in neither version of Wario's Woods, although the Super Nintendo Entertainment System version implies that the creatures were made into Wario's monsters.
In both the Super Mario KC Deluxe manga and Super Mario-kun, Wario's Woods are ruled by a wise fairy elder simply called Chiyōrō-sama (who also appeared in the Mario & Wario story arc in the KC Deluxe manga), and its inhabitants are fairies, one of which (the one that helps the protagonists during the events of the story) is Wanda, the protagonist of Mario & Wario. While Super Mario-kun follows the game events faithfully, with Wario suddenly invading the forest with his army of monsters and minions (with Goro and Mad being original inhabitants of the forest that were brainwashed by Wario), the KC Deluxe adaptation tells a very different story about Fauster being an ancient demon sealed centuries ago by a brave Toad, whose mask is worn by Mario during the story arc. Wario ends up freeing Fauster, who gratefully gives his powers to him to win over their enemies. Later, after a first defeat, Fauster and Wario return to destroy Peaceful Woods, this time sided by more minions, and almost succeed in their plan by sacrificing Luigi to the former, but are eventually thwarted by Mario and his friends.
