'''''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3''''' is a game released for the [[Gameboy]] in 1994, and is a sequel to [[Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins]]. However, "Super Mario Land 3" is a somewhat misleading title, as the game is not really about [[Mario]] at all, but rather about [[Wario]]. Mario does, however, make a cameo at the end of the game, stealing the statue Wario worked so hard to collect. However, Wario does get his own castle (and, at the highest amount, a whole planet.) as a reward for saving [[Kitchen Island]].
'''''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3''''' is a [[List of games|game]] released for the [[Game Boy]] in 1994 and rereleased for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] in 2011. It is a direct sequel to ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', being set apart from that game and its predecessor, ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', in that it does not star [[Mario]] but instead his rival, [[Wario]]. Despite the gameplay being similar to the ''Super Mario'' series, this is the first installment in the ''[[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land]]'' series. Mario makes a cameo at the end of this game by retrieving the stolen statue of [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] from Captain Syrup.
[[Image:Wario_Land.PNG|frame|left|Hitching a ride over lava]]
 
Desiring a castle of his own, Wario sets out to find a lost golden statue of [[Princess Toadstool]] that he intends to ransom to her for the money to buy his own castle. Along the way he gladly collects any other gold coins and treasures he finds. The game is spent navigating a number of levels to reclaim his lost treasures, and has a significant level of replayability due to the branched path many of the levels take.
==Plot==
Desiring to replace or restore the [[Mario's castle|castle]] he lost to [[Mario|his rival]] in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', Wario sets out to steal a golden statue of [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] from the [[Black Sugar Gang|Brown Sugar Pirates]] and [[Captain Syrup]], which he then intends to ransom for the money to buy his own castle. Along the way, he collects or steals any other [[coin]]s and [[treasure (Wario franchise)|treasure]]s he finds or knocks out of enemies. The game is spent by navigating a number of levels to reclaim his lost treasures, and has a significant level of re-playability due to the branched path that many of the levels take. In the end, Captain Syrup (revealed to be female, which was hidden in the instruction manual) is defeated while Wario ultimately gets anything from a birdhouse to an actual planet or moon for himself based on the amount of treasure collected as compensation for failing to steal the statue (due to Mario retrieving it by airlifting it).
 
===Endings===
''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'' introduces a new mechanic where the ending is determined by the amount of coins that Wario has collected in the game. The more coins and treasures he collects, the better his new home will be. If Wario does not complete the game with the best ending, the player will be urged to "Please retry!" after the credits, and any levels with missing treasures will be marked flashing on the map.

''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'' is a 2D platforming game. It is divided into seven worlds, which each are divided into multiple courses. In most courses Wario has to trade in ten of his coins for one big [[10-Coin|10 Gold Coin]] to open the door to the next course. Once the player completes a course, the next course will become available, and so on. The game also allows players to revisit levels that have already been completed.
 
It has several mechanics that are similar to the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' games]] such as the transformation system. Wario can also touch enemies as long as they do not have any hazards equipped, so he can stun or defeat them by performing a [[Dash Attack|Body Slam]], [[Ground Pound|ground pound]], touching soft-spots, or tossing at others.

===Transformations===
One of the main features in ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'' is the various transformations that Wario can go through by collecting a [[Power Up Pot]]. These special powers can at times help Wario overcome obstacles and defeat tough enemies; however, if Wario takes damage when in any powered-up form, he will transform into Small Wario, who dies instantly upon taking damage.

|align=left|Wario transforms into Small Wario if damaged. He is then not able to Body Slam, and taking more damage results in loss of a life (similar to Small Mario). Small Wario can transform back into regular Wario by finding a Garlic Pot or by completing a level. He can transform directly to Bull, Dragon, or Jet Wario by finding the applicable pot.

Wario starts out on [[Rice Beach]], a small area of Kitchen Island. On the map screen, the player will notice that Kitchen Island is shaped like a skull, and a skull theme is present throughout the game. The save points are skulls, as are the level exits, secret doors, etc.

The [[Spiked Koopa]] serves as the world's boss. When Wario defeats said boss, the tide comes in and floods the world's first and third courses with water, allowing him to reach various areas that he is unable to reach.

Originally, Wario is trapped in this world until beating its second course, which drains the lake (as well as all of the water in its first course) in the area and opens up an exit to the rest of Kitchen Island. The [[ghost (Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3)|ghost]] serves as the world's boss.

==Bosses==
Each world has a boss that Wario must defeat at the end. Here is a listing of the bosses in order, and which world they correspond to. Wario will not be able to fight bosses again once they are beaten; however, the only exception (other than the [[Genie (Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3)|Genie]]) is the [[Penguin (boss)|Penguin]].
{{content description|sortable=y|
|image1=[[File:SpikedkoopaWL.png]]
|name1=[[Spiked Koopa]]
|description1=The Spiked Koopa is a [[Hammer Bro]]-like enemy protected by spiky armor, serving as the boss in [[Rice Beach]]. In his fight with Wario, he employs a three-pronged attack of striking from land, air, and underground. His shell makes him invulnerable to ground pounds and fire. However, he can be rammed into, exposing his soft belly. After three hits to his vulnerable underside, he is defeated.
|image2=[[File:Beefnewl.png]]
|name2=[[Minotaur]]
|description2=The Minotaur serves as the boss in [[Mt. Teapot]] is immune to head stomps and ground pounds, due to his horns and thick hide.

|image3=[[File:Penguinwl.png]]
|name3=[[Penguin (boss)|Penguin]]
|description3=The Penguin is a large and bulky foe that wields two vicious spiked boxing gloves, which he uses to punch Wario, and serves as the boss in [[Sherbet Land (world)|Sherbet Land]].

However, Wario can toss the Genie's magic lamp so that it lands upright, producing a small cloud. Wario can ride this cloud and leap from it to pounce on the Genie's head. The cloud then turns into a miniature version of the Genie that blasts lightning bolts, but the mini-Genie is easily destroyed. After enough hits on the head, the Genie is defeated.

==Reception==
Although it did not sell as well as its ''Super Mario Land'' predecessors, the game received mostly favorable reviews. The game placed 71st in the 100th issue of [[Nintendo Power]]'s "100 best Nintendo games of all time" in 1997.<ref>http://www.gamekult.com/communaute/forum/voirmessage.html?foid=13000909</ref>

|align="left"|"''It would be quite easy to make a case for either [[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]] or [[Wario Land (series)|Wario Land]] as the original [[Game Boy]] system's best [[Genre#Platform|platforming]] experience, but given how different the two titles are it almost seems unfair to compare them directly. With Wario Land, Nintendo completely reinvented its portable platformer and gave its greedy new character his own game, instead of merely plopping him down into the middle of another standard Super Mario Land presentation. A wealth of new gameplay features combined with a unique visual and musical style make this title stand on its own, and at £3.60 on the [[Virtual Console]] it gives old and new fans of the previous Super Mario Land releases a fresh spin on the series. If you want to experience some of the best platforming the Game Boy system has to offer, you needn't look any further than this release.''"

|7.9/10
|align="left"|"''The fact is, Wario Land never works completely. It is a very easy game that hasn't quite found its direction, and yet it packs the tiny Game Boy screen with as much personality as anything else Nintendo had put out. Wario was simply born to be a star, and he doesn't have to bring any wanna-be in blue overalls with him anymore. Wario Land marked the end of original handheld Mario games until 2006's [[New Super Mario Bros.]] and as long as Wario was there, I could hardly miss him.''"

==Sequels==
The game spawned five sequels, ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]'', ''[[Wario Land II]]'', ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', and ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]''. The [[Wario (franchise)|''Wario'' franchise]] also received ''[[Wario World]]'' and ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'' which were similar games. A spin-off series was also made, the popular ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series of games.
 
==References to earlier games==
*[[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] - [[Spiked Koopa|The game's first boss]] is considered a variety of [[Hammer Bro]]ther. A statue of Princess Toadstool serves as the game's {{wp|MacGuffin}}, and Mario himself makes an appearance during the ending. The way blocks and forms work, which would be dropped in the ''Wario Land'' games after ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]'', is taken from the ''Super Mario'' franchise as well.
*''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' - The game is a direct sequel to this title. [[Bee Fly|Bee Flies]] from this game's [[Tree Zone]] make an appearance on the [[SS Tea Cup]], one of the few aspects from the original ''Super Mario Land'' duology to carry over into ''Wario Land''.
*''[[metroidwiki:Metroid II: The Return of Samus|Metroid II: The Return of Samus]]'': The sound effects used during the final battle when landing blows on the Genie (and other bosses) were reused from the stunned and pained roar sound effects from all forms of Metroids during battles against them in that game. The pausing sound effect also comes from this game.
 
==References in later games==
*''[[Mario Party 2]]'': Wario's helmet is reused for his [[Mystery Land]] costume in this game.
*''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'': The game's various endings regarding what mansion Luigi has depending on how the player completed the game is similar to in this game.
*''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'': The [[microgame]] [[Grow Wario Grow]] features the [[Tiny Wario]] and regular Wario sprites.
*''[[Wario World]]'': Just like with this game, the player's castle in the ending varies by how they completed the game.
*''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'': A [[microgame]] called [[Wario Land (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Wario Land]] is one of [[9-Volt]] and [[18-Volt]]'s microgames.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'': [[Masahiro Sakurai]] stated on the website that the ''WarioWare'' section of All-Star mode was put to match the time Wario was the main character in ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3''. Also, one of Wario's alternate costumes is based on his in-game sprite.
*''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'': When in their Small forms, Mario and Luigi lose their caps, similarly to Wario's Small form, though they wear a hat if the player collects the maximum number of lives (1,110 lives), and Super Mario/Luigi lose the cap instead.
*''[[Mario Kart 7]]'': Part of the music that plays on [[3DS Wario Shipyard|Wario Shipyard]] is an arrangement of the music of the first stage of [[Rice Beach]], and a painting of [[Bull Wario]] can be seen on a billboard.
*''[[Mario Party 10]]'': Wario's hard hat is seen in the background of his own personalized [[amiibo]]-exclusive [[Wario Board|board]].
*''[[Super Mario Maker]]'': When transforming into [[Wario]]'s [[Costume Mario]] costume after collecting a [[Mystery Mushroom]], the transformation sound effect after collecting a [[Power Up Pot]] can be heard. The "lose a life" theme and the tune heard at the minigame selection screen after clearing a course also play after falling into a [[pit]] or [[lava]] and clearing a level as Wario, respectively.
 
==Glitches==
{{main|List of Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 glitches}}
'''NOTE''': This glitch is only possible in the Game Boy version of the game. It was fixed in the 3DS Virtual Console version.
 
It is possible to skip certain levels or even worlds if there is a possible path to the right and an open path in a different direction. This can be done by pressing {{button|Padright}} and a different direction simultaneously on the D-Pad.
 
For example, [[Course No.01]] starts with a path downward at all times (which takes Wario to the overworld) and a possible path to the right (which takes Wario to [[Course No.02]]). If the player presses {{button|Paddown}} and {{button|Padright}} simultaneously, Wario can walk to Course No.02 even if he has not completed Course No.01.
 
The reason why this occurs is that when the game first checks if Wario can possibly move in a certain direction (even if the direction is not unlocked yet), it checks button presses in the order {{button|Padleft}}, {{button|Padup}}, {{button|Paddown}}, and {{button|Padright}}. After this, to determine which direction Wario should move, the game checks which button is pressed a second time, this time in this order: {{button|Padright}}, {{button|Padleft}}, {{button|Padup}}, {{button|Paddown}} <ref name="levelskip">[https://tasvideos.org/4507S.html McHazard's GB ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'' "game end glitch" in 01:31.15]</ref> This discrepancy makes the glitch possible.
 
In the 3DS's Virtual Console version, the button checking is consistent, by always checking in this order: {{button|Padright}}, {{button|Padleft}}, {{button|Padup}}, {{button|Paddown}}. This consistency fixes the glitch and makes it impossible to perform on the 3DS.

==Trivia==
*The game was tentatively titled ''Super Mario Land 3: Kairiki Wario'' (スーパーマリオランド3 怪力ワリオ), ''kairiki'' meaning "super-strong". The name was used on a Japanese promotional flyer from 1993. The logo depicted on the flyer differs drastically from any of the ''Wario Land'' logos.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20140925223654/http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/gamesmasa/60117836.html|title=Promotional flyer for ''Super Mario Land 3: Kairiki Wario''|publisher=Yahoo Japan Blog|accessdate=June 4, 2024}}</ref>
*Despite being released in 1994, the game instead carries a 1993 copyright in the ROM itself and on the back of the American box, implying that the game was originally planned for release late that year and then pushed back.
*This game borrows some sound effects used in ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid II: Return of Samus|Metroid II: Return of Samus]]'', another Game Boy game developed by [[Nintendo Research & Development 1|Nintendo R&D1]]. One example is when a boss is hit; the noise is the same one made when a Metroid gets hit. Other borrowed sound effects are when the player pauses the game and the sound of triggering [[mine]]s, which is the same as Samus going into Morph Ball.
*The manual states that the Select button is "Not used." However, the player can use a Debug Cheat<ref>{{cite|author=Campbell, Stuart|title=''Game Boy Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|date=May 5, 1999|page=95|isbn=0-7615-2085-6|language=en-us|publisher=[[Prima Games]]}}</ref> by pressing that button sixteen times on the pause screen. Holding down the {{button|gb|A}} and {{button|gb|B}} button simultaneously will allow them to alter the numbers on the status bar as well as power up Wario.
*The Japanese title refers to the game as being the third installment in the ''Super Mario Land'' series; however, the name was reversed in the Western versions, as this is rather the first game in the ''Wario Land'' series.

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 is a game released for the Game Boy in 1994 and rereleased for the Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console in 2011. It is a direct sequel to Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, being set apart from that game and its predecessor, Super Mario Land, in that it does not star Mario but instead his rival, Wario. Despite the gameplay being similar to the Super Mario series, this is the first installment in the Wario Land series. Mario makes a cameo at the end of this game by retrieving the stolen statue of Princess Toadstool from Captain Syrup.

Plot[edit]

Desiring to replace or restore the castle he lost to his rival in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Wario sets out to steal a golden statue of Princess Toadstool from the Brown Sugar Pirates and Captain Syrup, which he then intends to ransom for the money to buy his own castle. Along the way, he collects or steals any other coins and treasures he finds or knocks out of enemies. The game is spent by navigating a number of levels to reclaim his lost treasures, and has a significant level of re-playability due to the branched path that many of the levels take. In the end, Captain Syrup (revealed to be female, which was hidden in the instruction manual) is defeated while Wario ultimately gets anything from a birdhouse to an actual planet or moon for himself based on the amount of treasure collected as compensation for failing to steal the statue (due to Mario retrieving it by airlifting it).

Endings[edit]

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 introduces a new mechanic where the ending is determined by the amount of coins that Wario has collected in the game. The more coins and treasures he collects, the better his new home will be. If Wario does not complete the game with the best ending, the player will be urged to "Please retry!" after the credits, and any levels with missing treasures will be marked flashing on the map.

Gameplay[edit]

The title screen of the game.
Mt. Teapot, Course 7
Wario jumps in and out of a body of water while avoiding some common enemies: a Watch and a Pinwheel.

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 is a 2D platforming game. It is divided into seven worlds, which each are divided into multiple courses. In most courses Wario has to trade in ten of his coins for one big 10 Gold Coin to open the door to the next course. Once the player completes a course, the next course will become available, and so on. The game also allows players to revisit levels that have already been completed.

It has several mechanics that are similar to the Super Mario games such as the transformation system. Wario can also touch enemies as long as they do not have any hazards equipped, so he can stun or defeat them by performing a Body Slam, ground pound, touching soft-spots, or tossing at others.

Controls[edit]

  • A Button: Jump
  • B Button: Body Slam
  • +Control Pad: Move
  • Start Button: Pause

Transformations[edit]

One of the main features in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 is the various transformations that Wario can go through by collecting a Power Up Pot. These special powers can at times help Wario overcome obstacles and defeat tough enemies; however, if Wario takes damage when in any powered-up form, he will transform into Small Wario, who dies instantly upon taking damage.

Pot(s) Form Description
N/A Small Wario
Small Wario 		Wario transforms into Small Wario if damaged. He is then not able to Body Slam, and taking more damage results in loss of a life (similar to Small Mario). Small Wario can transform back into regular Wario by finding a Garlic Pot or by completing a level. He can transform directly to Bull, Dragon, or Jet Wario by finding the applicable pot.

Bull Pot.png
Bull Pot 		Bull Wario
Bull Wario 		Wario can transform into Bull Wario by obtaining a Bull Pot or a Garlic Pot (in normal form). In this form, Wario can destroy his enemies and blocks much easier. Wario can also create a shock wave by crashing into the ground with his weight, and stick to the ceiling.
Jet Pot.png
Jet Pot 		Jet Wario
Jet Wario 		By obtaining a Jet Pot, Wario wears a plane-like helmet on his head, which allows him to glide for a while. He gradually descends until touching the ground, in which he can start walking again. Wario also walks more quickly and jumps higher with this item.
Dragon pot.png
Dragon Pot 		Dragon Wario
Dragon Wario 		Wario transforms into Dragon Wario by obtaining a Dragon Pot. Upon obtaining the power-up, he wears a dragon-like helmet on his head, which allows him to momentarily spew fire from it. The fire works underwater as well, though instead of fire, the helmet shoots arrow-like projectiles. Unlike other forms, Wario cannot perform a Body Slam when wearing the hat.
N/A Bomb Wario
Bomb Wario 		Bomb Wario exclusively appears in the file-select screen and is only accessible by entering the CLEAR pipe. However, Bomb Wario can change back to regular Wario by entering it again.

Bosses[edit]

Each world has a boss that Wario must defeat at the end. Here is a listing of the bosses in order, and which world they correspond to. Wario will not be able to fight bosses again once they are beaten; however, the only exception (other than the Genie) is the Penguin.

Image Name Description

The Spiked Koopa's sprite from Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. Spiked Koopa The Spiked Koopa is a Hammer Bro-like enemy protected by spiky armor, serving as the boss in Rice Beach. In his fight with Wario, he employs a three-pronged attack of striking from land, air, and underground. His shell makes him invulnerable to ground pounds and fire. However, he can be rammed into, exposing his soft belly. After three hits to his vulnerable underside, he is defeated.
Sprite of the Minotaur. Minotaur The Minotaur serves as the boss in Mt. Teapot is immune to head stomps and ground pounds, due to his horns and thick hide. He attempts to destroy Wario by picking him up and throwing him into the lava below their battleground. To defeat him, Wario has to throw him into the lava instead.
Sprite of the Penguin. Penguin The Penguin is a large and bulky foe that wields two vicious spiked boxing gloves, which he uses to punch Wario, and serves as the boss in Sherbet Land. He is immune to ground pounds and fire, but Wario can hurt him by hitting his head. He then dons a spiked helmet, but Wario can simply knock it off with a slam and then attack the penguin.
Sprite of the Devil's Head. Devil's Head The Devil's Head is a giant floating head who serves as the boss in Stove Canyon, whose fighting style revolves around breaking blocks with his tongue, trying to get Wario to fall into a chasm, and spitting rocks. The Devil's Head is immune to fire, coins, and ground pounds, but the rubble from his attacks that are left behind must be picked up by Wario and thrown at him to defeat him.
BoboWL1.png Bobo Bobo is a giant bird that serves as the boss in SS Tea Cup and sends out two Watches to attack Wario. He must jump on top of a Watch and toss it at Bobo three times before Bobo is defeated. Alternatively, Bobo can also be harmed by Dragon Wario's fire attack.
Giantghostwl.png Ghost The ghost is the boss in Parsley Woods. He can paralyze Wario by touching him, and is immune to head stomps, coins, and fire. The ghost also turns invisible and drops coins that transform into Yarikuri Obake to attack Wario. Wario can defeat the ghost by tossing his Yarikuri Obake minions at him.
Sprite of Genie Genie The Genie is a neutral character who serves as the boss in Syrup Castle. He produces fireballs that chase Wario around. However, Wario can toss the Genie's magic lamp so that it lands upright, producing a small cloud. Wario can ride this cloud and leap from it to pounce on the Genie's head. The cloud then turns into a miniature version of the Genie that blasts lightning bolts, but the mini-Genie is easily destroyed. After enough hits on the head, the Genie is defeated.

Reception[edit]

Although it did not sell as well as its Super Mario Land predecessors, the game received mostly favorable reviews. The game placed 71st in the 100th issue of Nintendo Power's "100 best Nintendo games of all time" in 1997.[2]

Reviews
Release Reviewer, Publication Score Comment
Nintendo 3DS Corbie Dillard, Nintendo Life 9/10 "It would be quite easy to make a case for either Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins or Wario Land as the original Game Boy system's best platforming experience, but given how different the two titles are it almost seems unfair to compare them directly. With Wario Land, Nintendo completely reinvented its portable platformer and gave its greedy new character his own game, instead of merely plopping him down into the middle of another standard Super Mario Land presentation. A wealth of new gameplay features combined with a unique visual and musical style make this title stand on its own, and at £3.60 on the Virtual Console it gives old and new fans of the previous Super Mario Land releases a fresh spin on the series. If you want to experience some of the best platforming the Game Boy system has to offer, you needn't look any further than this release."
Nintendo 3DS Travis Fahs, IGN 7.9/10 "The fact is, Wario Land never works completely. It is a very easy game that hasn't quite found its direction, and yet it packs the tiny Game Boy screen with as much personality as anything else Nintendo had put out. Wario was simply born to be a star, and he doesn't have to bring any wanna-be in blue overalls with him anymore. Wario Land marked the end of original handheld Mario games until 2006's New Super Mario Bros. and as long as Wario was there, I could hardly miss him."

Sequels[edit]

The game spawned five sequels, Virtual Boy Wario Land, Wario Land II, Wario Land 3, Wario Land 4, and Wario Land: Shake It!. The Wario franchise also received Wario World and Wario: Master of Disguise which were similar games. A spin-off series was also made, the popular WarioWare series of games.

References to earlier games[edit]

  • Super Mario franchise - The game's first boss is considered a variety of Hammer Brother. A statue of Princess Toadstool serves as the game's MacGuffin, and Mario himself makes an appearance during the ending. The way blocks and forms work, which would be dropped in the Wario Land games after Virtual Boy Wario Land, is taken from the Super Mario franchise as well.
  • Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins - The game is a direct sequel to this title. Bee Flies from this game's Tree Zone make an appearance on the SS Tea Cup, one of the few aspects from the original Super Mario Land duology to carry over into Wario Land.
  • Metroid II: The Return of Samus: The sound effects used during the final battle when landing blows on the Genie (and other bosses) were reused from the stunned and pained roar sound effects from all forms of Metroids during battles against them in that game. The pausing sound effect also comes from this game.

Glitches[edit]

Main article: List of Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 glitches

NOTE: This glitch is only possible in the Game Boy version of the game. It was fixed in the 3DS Virtual Console version.

It is possible to skip certain levels or even worlds if there is a possible path to the right and an open path in a different direction. This can be done by pressing +Control Pad right and a different direction simultaneously on the D-Pad.

For example, Course No.01 starts with a path downward at all times (which takes Wario to the overworld) and a possible path to the right (which takes Wario to Course No.02). If the player presses +Control Pad down and +Control Pad right simultaneously, Wario can walk to Course No.02 even if he has not completed Course No.01.

The reason why this occurs is that when the game first checks if Wario can possibly move in a certain direction (even if the direction is not unlocked yet), it checks button presses in the order +Control Pad left, +Control Pad up, +Control Pad down, and +Control Pad right. After this, to determine which direction Wario should move, the game checks which button is pressed a second time, this time in this order: +Control Pad right, +Control Pad left, +Control Pad up, +Control Pad down [3] This discrepancy makes the glitch possible.

In the 3DS's Virtual Console version, the button checking is consistent, by always checking in this order: +Control Pad right, +Control Pad left, +Control Pad up, +Control Pad down. This consistency fixes the glitch and makes it impossible to perform on the 3DS.

Sūpā Mario Rando 3: Wario Rando 		Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land

Trivia[edit]

  • The game was tentatively titled Super Mario Land 3: Kairiki Wario (スーパーマリオランド3 怪力ワリオ), kairiki meaning "super-strong". The name was used on a Japanese promotional flyer from 1993. The logo depicted on the flyer differs drastically from any of the Wario Land logos.[6]
  • Despite being released in 1994, the game instead carries a 1993 copyright in the ROM itself and on the back of the American box, implying that the game was originally planned for release late that year and then pushed back.
  • This game borrows some sound effects used in Metroid II: Return of Samus, another Game Boy game developed by Nintendo R&D1. One example is when a boss is hit; the noise is the same one made when a Metroid gets hit. Other borrowed sound effects are when the player pauses the game and the sound of triggering mines, which is the same as Samus going into Morph Ball.
  • The manual states that the Select button is "Not used." However, the player can use a Debug Cheat[7] by pressing that button sixteen times on the pause screen. Holding down the A Button and B Button button simultaneously will allow them to alter the numbers on the status bar as well as power up Wario.
  • The Japanese title refers to the game as being the third installment in the Super Mario Land series; however, the name was reversed in the Western versions, as this is rather the first game in the Wario Land series.
