Wario's games REALLY need to be hulked out, enemies added, levels named, summaries given, and just given good articles. I'll be working on them soon, so maybe this can become part of the Wario World PipProject? 3dejong
Ys, the Wario World Pipeproject is coming out nicely, HOWEVER the Wario Land articles are really poor. Paper Jorge ( Need to tell me something? Go to my talk page.·Contributions·) 00:11, 17 October 2006 (EDT)
Seagull
This is about the seagull in the Objects category. I linked it to Goonie because they work in a similar way but I don't know if that's correct.

Enemy names
A lot of articles on enemies in Wario Land II and other Wario Land games have already been created. The problem is that for many of them the official English names have never been revealed, and therefore many names used for the articles come from fan-made FAQs (a lot of them have yet to be marked as "conjectural", though).
However, user Edofenrir wrote an e-mail regarding Wario Land II to Nintendo of America and received the following response:
Hello ***************,
I can appreciate your interest in Wario Land 2. Usually, we are unable to access the type of information you have requested. However, after some further research, I was able to locate some information that might be of some help to you. I have provided a list of some of the more difficult enemies in Wario Land 2 below:
Unfortunately, I was unable to find any information about the objects mentioned in your email. However, it may interest you to know that one of the best resources for help with that game is our Power Line, which [...]
I hope this information has been helpful!
Sincerely,
Raymond Chan
Nintendo of America Inc.
Of course, not everything that comes from the costumer service has to be "canon" (for example, they claimed that there is no Zelda timeline even if the game creators confirmed that). But this list looks plausible, since it matches with the few revealed English names, which are mostly very simple. I will move the respective articles to the names mentioned in the answer (except for "Duck" and "Spear guy"), it is still better to use these rather than the fan-made names. I also found the Japanese names for a few more enemies with unknown English names at a trustable site, I will tell about them later. --Grandy02 09:44, 12 September 2009 (EDT)
Some more enemy names
There are still some enemies with conjectural names. For most of them, here are the official Japanese names, taken from the Japanese Super Mario dictionary. Since the names of some obscure enemies that are known to be true are correct in the dictionary, it is extremly likely that the following ones are official as well:
- Togemen (トゲメン, "thorn face") – Spikeshell
- Gugi (グギ) – Tooth-blob
- Gaugau (ガウガウ) – Windowpain and "Rat" from Wario Land (same creature, but different behaviour, compare their sprites and you'll see they look very similar)
- Pecan (ピーカン) – Pelican (also in Wario Land)
- Yukimaru (ユキマル) – Freezy
- Awabō (アワボウ) – King Bubble
- Shiromajin (シロマジン) – Grabber Ghost
- Mecha Kuri (メカクリ, "Mecha Goom/Spear Man") – robotic Giant Spear Man
I know, that means another change of links in various articles. :-P --Grandy02 15:05, 2 January 2010 (EST)
