Title Screen

Mario & Wario is a Japan-only puzzle game for the Super Famicom. It was going to be released to the US but it got cancelled.

The player can pick a character (like Peach, Mario, or Yoshi; depending on difficulty). At the beginning of each level, Wario drops a bucket, barrel, jellyfish, or similar item on a character's head, rendering the character unable to see. The player uses the SNES mouse to control Wanda the fairy and alter the environment to make it safe for the character, making it somewhat similar to the game Lemmings as Wanda attempts to guide Peach, Mario, or Yoshi to Luigi to get the goal. This was one of the few games that made use of the SNES mouse. At each end of the world level (or 10 levels in the world level), theres a bonus level that Wanda can whack Wario with a hammer to earn coins while flying in his plane.
