The '''Black Sugar Gang''' (known as the '''Brown Sugar Pirates''' in the original English translation) is a group of pirates led by [[Captain Syrup]] in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'' and ''[[Wario Land II]]''. Their base of operations is the [[SS Tea Cup]] and [[Syrup Castle]] on [[Kitchen Island]]. The crew is made up mostly of [[Pirate Goom]]s and [[Wanderin' Goom]]s, though most of the significant members are of other species (for example, [[Bobo]] of the SS Tea Cup).

They are a band of pirates led by [[Captain Syrup]], and are the antagonists in both games. They are headquartered within [[Syrup Castle]] on [[Kitchen Island]].

After ''Wario Land II'', the crew has been absent from most games. Captain Syrup later reappeared in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'' in her new ship [[The Sweet Stuff]], but her crew is missing.

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]].

==''Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land''==
===''Wario Land II''===
The Black Sugar Gang was well-known for stealing many great treasures, including a giant golden statue of [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], ruler of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Upon 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 the [[Genie (Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3)|Genie]] exchanged Wario's [[coin]]s and [[Wario's Treasures|treasure]] to make his wish for a [[Wario Castle|castle]] come true. Wario's success depends on the player's results.
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.

Three Pirate Gooms led by Captain Syrup attacked [[Wario Castle]], and re-took three bags of valuables out of revenge. Enraged, Wario chased them on their way back to [[Kitchen Island]] to re-steal "his" stolen treasure. Syrup sent her 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. In the end, Wario defeated Captain Syrup once again, and re-obtained the stolen treasure. Eventually, he returned to Syrup Castle after he had completed a treasure map on his travels, and took the opportunity to steal the Syrup's own treasure. When Wario found the Giant Spear Man guarding the treasure hoard, he defeated him for the final time, and nabbed the large sack. However, the Giant Spear Man followed him home. It is unknown if he changed sides or if he was still persistent in fighting Wario.
