Wario's Woods (location)
Wario's Woods is the location where the events of the game Wario's Woods take place. The woods were owned by Wario, and at least one of its meadows even features its owner's face. In the game, Wario sent the woods' monsters to overrun the Mushroom Kingdom. Toad, Birdo, and Wanda ventured into the woods (which were the both the first and last areas seen in Round Game mode and the only setting of Vs. Com mode) and defeated Wario.
Once Wario was defeated, Toad is alerted that the woods had changed back to normal as peace returned to the area. The monsters who had acted as Wario's minions earlier on had also been stated to have awoken from the nightmare that Wario placed on them allowing them to live in peace within the woods. It is unknown whether Wario still has ownership of the woods after Toad had defeated him. However, it is likely that the woods were set free after Toad had defeated the greedy owner Wario as the monsters were stated to have been in peace by this point. Though it is not impossible that Toad got the ownership of the woods as well as the fate of the woods was never stated at the end of the game.
Trivia
- As stated above, a meadow in Wario's Woods (this meadow happens to be the setting of the majority of Vs. Com mode) has Wario's face cut out in its grass. The posing of this face appears to be based on artwork from Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land.
