Wario World
Template:Infobox Wario World is a video game for the GameCube. It sold fairly well, though it was mainly criticized for its rather brief gameplay.
Plot
In the lower floor beneath Wario's throne room, Wario's newest treasure awakened. Thousands of years before, this cursed Jewel corrupted any and all who owned it, causing chaos and destruction. To put a stop to this, Spritelings encased the Jewel and put it asleep for all eternity. These events were all too soon forgotten. Tragically, when Wario stole the Jewel, the Jewel awakened at the time Wario was upstairs drooling over his prized treasures, laughing at everyone he stole from. Before Wario knew what happened, the Jewel turned his belongings into a whole new world.
Gameplay
The game consists of four worlds with two levels in each world. Each level has three objectives: beat the boss, collect all eight of Mr. Wario's Golden Statue pieces, and get all eight of Wario's Treasures back. After completing both levels in a world, the boss fight of that world will open. When the world boss is beaten, the next world opens.
It is also possible to play WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, but a Game Boy Advance adapter is needed to play it (Not included with game).
Levels
Wario World is divided into 4 worlds linked by Treasure Square, the hub. From Treasure Square, there are 4 worlds with two levels in each.
Moves
Wario has many moves in this game. They are:
- Jump - For such a hefty being, Wario can jump fairly high in the air (strangely, he's better at it than in Super Mario 64 DS)
- Wario Punch - A move common with Wario, it helps him beat up enemies and crush objects. (He also uses this move in Super Mario 64 DS)
- Dash Attack - One of Wario's signature moves, he rushes forward and uses his shoulder to ram into anyone or anything.
- Hyper Suction - Wario's strangest move, Wario can open his mouth to suck in nearby coins.
- Ground Pound - A move that appears in many platformers in some way, Wario can pound enemies with the weight of his body.
- Corkscrew Conk - Wario can turn into a rampaging, spinning yellow ball and hit high-flying enemies.
Mad Moves
The three Mad Moves are Wario's three most powerful moves, and can only be used after picking up an enemy first. Using them is the only way to damage many of the game's bosses.
- Power Throw - After stunning and picking up an enemy, Wario can throw it with all his might.
- Piledriver - After stunning an enemy, he can also use them to slam, hard, into the ground, destroying that enemy and damaging any others nearby. Wario can also use this move to drill through special Trapdoors.
- Wild Swing-Ding - Wario can also swing an enemy around at a very fast speed, taking out groups of other enemies, or use them to open special doors that require him to spin the enemy in front of a switch.
Bosses
Wario has to battle numerous Boss characters throughout the game.
- Excitement Central

When Wario defeats a world's boss, he receives a Giant Treasure Chest Key to unlock the treasure chest where The Black Jewel waits.
