| '''''Wario's Woods''''' is a puzzle game released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]] in [[1993]], and later released on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] released in [[1994]], the last game to be released for the console in North America. It was also one of the many playable NES games in ''[[wikipedia:Animal Crossing|Animal Crossing]]'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]].
| |
| | |
| The game is notable for being the last US NES release given Nintendo's official license. It is also known for being the only game that has [[Toad]] with the main starring role (despite the fact that he has been playable in many games since ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''). This is also the first Mario game to not feature [[Mario]] (infact, he does not even make an appearance in this game).
| |
| | |
| ==Story==
| |
| The plot of the game is that [[Toad]] was taking a walk to a place he thought was Toadstool's Garden, but he was in fact in [[Wario's Woods (place)|Wario's Woods]] and gets stuck in them. It is then revealed that [[Wario|Wario's]] monsters are invading the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. [[Wanda]], and [[Birdo]] (all misfit characters at the time) set out to help Toad to defeat the monsters.
| |
| | |
| The game plays similarly to ''Tetris''. Toad is the main hero, and Birdo and Wanda would help Toad by giving him encouragement and [[Bomb (item)|bombs]] to destroy the monsters (respectively). If Toad took too long to complete a level, the rascal Wario would replace Birdo and replace Wanda with a [[Pidgit]]. The Pidget would then throw more monsters instead of bombs at Toad. Wario would body slam the side of his box to make the [[Thwomp]] ceiling descend, destroying enemies would make the ceiling rise up again. Many enemies unique to this game appear. Along with them were several mini-bosses who would attempt to block Toad's path from getting to Wario. Toad would also have to fight Wario several times throughout the game (though most end up just being [[False Wario|False Warios]]. In the end of the game, Wario himself appears to fight against Toad alone. Oddly, Wario appears at a gargantuan size in this battle. Eventually, Toad defeats him, causing him to shrink back to his original size and his powers were also reduced (it was also revealed that Wario infact had infact used an airpump to inflate himself to a much bigger size in order to battle Toad). Toad then procedes onwards by chasing the antagonist out of the Woods. Thus, once Wario is defeated, all the creatures who were under the nightmare that Wario had cast upon them had awakened allowing the woods to be restored back to peace.

| | |
| ==Game Modes==
| |
| [[Image:wariowood.gif|thumb|left|A screenshot from the NES version of the game.]]
| |
| The NES version has modes: Round game, Time Race, VS, Lesson, and Option. Round Game is the basic game with 100 levels (this is muc like the story mode of the game, featuring the bosses and events within the game). The levels increased in difficulty as the player progressed, starting with more monsters and more kinds of monsters. It also has an A and B game mode. Time Race has three levels of difficulty and has players racing against the clock. VS is the two player mode (the second player has the option of choosing a green Toad as their character). Lesson teaches the game basics. Option is name change, data clear and rankings.
| |
| | |
| [[Image:Toad_Wario_SNES.gif|thumb|right|The SNES version of ''Wario's Woods''.]]
| |
| The SNES version had 6 game modes: VS Com, VS 2p, Round Game, Time Race, Lesson, and Option. Most are the same as their NES counterparts, but more robust. VS Com allowed the player to play against an AI player in three Modes of difficulty, and added colorful characters to play against like [[Katsini]]. Round game added an overworld map with different locations like Underground Caves and [[Wario's Castle]]. Many more mini-bosses were added to the game with the bosses varying from each level in the game (ie aquatic creatures were the bosses of the underwater levels).

| ==Satellaview Versions==
| |
| Wario's Woods was released on the [[Satellaview]] in two different versions. These versions are exclusive to the Satellaview.
| |
| | |
| The first version was called ワリオの森 爆笑バージョン (Wario's Woods Burst Of Laughter Version).
| |
| In this one many of the character graphics were replaced with caricatures of Japanese Celebrities.<ref>[http://blog.goo.ne.jp/randnetdd/e/22bde2a1dbb69bd73c15d3a0e15d2e69 Info on Wario's Woods Burst of Laughter Version from SFC MANIA blog.]</ref>
| |
| | |
| The second version was called ワリオの森 再び (Wario's Woods Again)
| |
| This version lacks the edited graphics, making it more similar to the standard release. However, there are also other removals, such as the round-game-style Single Player mode and Story Mode Dialog.
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *This is the last game that featured Toad with superhuman strength.
| |
| *In the VS mode of the game, the second player would use a green colored Toad as their character which possibly makes a reference to Mario and [[Luigi]] as Toad is represented with a red color like Mario while the green Toad references Luigi with his green color, though it might be a coincidence.
| |
| *This game could possibley be referenced in warioware smooth moves. In one of 9-volts games, the player has to insert a cartridge into a SNES. The cartridge looks vey similar to the cartridge art on warios woods.
