'''Wario's Woods''' (formerly known as the ''Peaceful Woods'') is the location of where the events of the game ''[[Wario's Woods]]'' take place. The woods were owned by [[Wario]], and at least one of its meadows even features its owner's face. The forest had been revealed to once have been in peace inhabited by the sprites (fairy like beings) and quiet creatures until Wario arrived and took over. He then proceeded onwards by placing a spell (referred to as a nightmare in the game) over the monsters in the woods.  In the game, Wario sent the woods' monsters to overrun the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. [[Toad]] along with his two helpers [[Birdo]], and [[Wanda]] ventured into the woods (which were the both the first and last areas seen in Round Game mode and the only setting of Vs. Com mode) and defeated Wario.

'''Wario's Woods''' (formerly known as the '''Peaceful Woods''') is the location of where the events of the game ''[[Wario's Woods (Nintendo Entertainment System)|Wario's Woods]]'' take place. It was inhabited by the [[Sprite]]s 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 [[Sprite]]s, 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.


Once Wario was defeated, Toad is alerted that the woods had changed back to normal as peace returned to the area. The monsters who had acted as Wario's minions earlier on had also been stated to have awoken from the nightmare that Wario placed on them allowing them to live in peace within the woods. It is unknown whether Wario still has ownership of the woods after Toad had defeated him. However, it is likely that the woods were set free after Toad had defeated the greedy owner Wario as the monsters were stated to have been in peace by this point. Though it is not impossible that Toad got the ownership of the woods as well as the fate of the woods was never stated at the end of the game.
The [[Wario's Woods (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|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 {{file link|Wario SML2 artwork.jpg|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]].


== Trivia ==
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.
*As stated above, a meadow in Wario's Woods (this meadow happens to be 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 ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]''.
*The creatures that had once inhabited the forest in peace are nowhere to be seen in the actual game. However in the SNES version, it is implied that Wario's monsters are these creatures though they are under a spell by Wario so they could be used as his minions.

In both the ''[[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|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 (manga)|''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 [[Super Mario: Wario no Mori|KC Deluxe adaptation]] tells a very different story about [[Fauster]] being an ancient demon sealed centuries ago by a brave [[Toad (species)|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.

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 artworkMedia:Wario SML2 artwork.jpg 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.
