''Story: From Riches to Rags''<br><br>
"Ah, ha ha! I've finally done it!" Wario chuckles to himself as he does some exploring up his nose. Why does he chuckle, you ask? Because he's finally completed construction of his beloved castle! "So, whatddya think? Pretty sweet, eh? The sparkling golden walls, the luxurious chandeliers... And how about these marble floors? It's a wonderfully gorgeous castle for wonderful and gorgeous me. Hey, by the way- and this is a secret- the lower chambers are brimming with jewels and treasures that I've pilfered from all around the world! What? You wanna take a peek? No way! They're mine, all mine! ... As if I'd actually let you put a single grubby finger on any of my fine treasures! Please! I'm not even gonna let you look at any of them!" Yes, Wario is feeling pretty fine. However, unbeknownst to him, something terrible has happened to his jewels. Sleeping buried under all of his treasures is a powerful black jewel that all but wiped out civilization long ago. And now, on an evening where a red moon rises, the evil black jewel awakens. "Huh? What's all that noise downstairs?! I was just getting ready to floss the gunk out of my toes! Gah! I HATE distractions!"

:When Wario finally notices that something strange is happening, it's already too late. The evil black jewel downstairs has managed to engulf many of the other treasures and is rapidly growing larger and larger! And not only that--it's churning out monsters as well! Yes, that's right! It seems that the curse that this jewel carries lets it turn treasures into monsters. To make matters worse, the black jewel has decided that it wants to build a kingdom of its own and is changing Wario's world into quite a weird place.

I thought there was something off about that thing the first time I laid eyes on it! Why, that arrogant little PUNK! It actually thinks it can outwit the great Wario!

The game begins with Wario sitting on his throne in his completed [[Wario Castle|treasure-covered castle]] laughing. In the lower floor, below the throne room lies an evil [[Black Jewel]], who, thousands of years before, had corrupted any and all who owned it, causing chaos and destruction. To put a stop to this, [[Spriteling]]s encased the Jewel and put it asleep for all eternity. Tragically, when Wario stole the Jewel thousands of years later, the Black Jewel soon awakened.

Wario, still drooling over his treasures and laughing back at the throne room, soon sees his castle rumble and before he knows it, the black jewel has turned his castle into a brand new world. This new world is separated into four sections: [[Excitement Central]], [[Spooktastic World]], [[Thrillsville]], and [[Sparkle Land]]. Each world consists of two levels and a boss fight. The worlds are reached from a main hub area. The hub area also leads to the [[Treasure Square]] where the huge treasure box containing the black jewel is placed. Wario must travel through all worlds before going up to defeat the black jewel and lock it back in its chest where it belongs. After defeating the jewel, he regains his castle and riches.
Wario, still drooling over his [[Treasure (Wario franchise)|treasures]] and laughing in his throne room, soon sees his castle rumble. Suddenly, the black jewel turns the castle into a brand new location. This new location is separated into four sections called [[world]]s (each containing a [[List of bosses|boss]] battle): [[Excitement Central]], [[Spooktastic World]], [[Thrillsville]], and [[Sparkle Land]]. The worlds are reached from a main hub area, which also leads to the [[Treasure Square]] where the huge treasure box containing the black jewel is placed. Wario must travel through each world, optionally rescuing the forty imprisoned Spritelings, before defeating the black jewel and locking it back in its chest. After defeating the jewel, he regains his castle and riches with the help of the Spritelings, with his castle being larger and higher-quality the more Spritelings he rescued.

[[File:WW To Do List.png|thumb|200px|right]]
''Wario World'' is a 3D platformer. Each level has three objectives: beat the boss, collect all eight of the [[Gold Statue]] parts and get all eight [[treasure (Wario franchise)|treasure]]s 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. Wario can use several moves to defeat his enemies in various ways, such as spinning them around or slamming their head into the ground.
''Wario World'' is a 3D platforming game. The player controls the titular character, whose basic moveset includes jumps and punches, as well as their respective advanced forms, the [[Ground Pound]] and the [[Dash Attack]]. Wario's [[Health Meter|endurance]] is represented by hearts; he begins the game with four hearts, but his maximum health can be increased as he retrieves [[Gold Statue]]s. Wario replenishes one heart when he eats a head of [[garlic]], which are sold by [[Garlic Dispenser]]s for [[coin]]s, and sometimes found in [[wooden chest]]s. Were the player to lose all health and trigger a [[Game Over]], there is the option to pay 200 coins to continue from the same point. Coins spawn from defeated enemies and bosses, and also from some wooden chests.


Each time the player collects all treasures in a world, a [[microgame]] from ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' is unlocked. These games can only be played using a Game Boy Advance connected with a GBA to GameCube link cable.
The game is split into four worlds, each one containing two levels. Every level ends in a boss battle, and after both levels are cleared the boss stage of the world is unlocked. The gameplay places much emphasis on collection, with each level featuring four categories of items for the player to find via exploration. In order to 100% clear a level, the player must:
{{br}}
*Rescue five [[Spriteling]]s. Each time a Spriteling is rescued, he will give Wario tips and pieces of information.
*Find eight [[treasure (Wario franchise)|treasures]]. For a treasure chest to appear, Wario must first activate a [[Treasure button|treasure button]] elsewhere, causing the chest to appear on the pad of the same color.
*Find eight [[Red diamond (Wario World)|red diamonds]]. These are found in sub-levels accessible via [[Trapdoor (Wario World)|trapdoors]]. A certain number of red diamonds, which varies depending on the world, must be inserted into the [[Stone Doohickey]] at the end of the level to open the path to the boss.
*Collect the aforementioned Gold Statues scattered throughout the levels and in many bonus areas. Collecting all of them in both levels of the same world adds a heart to Wario's life meter.
 
''Wario World'' also prominently features combat. Wario will encounter hordes of aggressive enemies throughout the levels. Larger enemies require more hits to go down, and also allow Wario to perform more devastating moves by using their bodies to attack other enemies. Most levels include unskippable fights in the form of [[Crystal Entity|Crystal Entities]] and [[Battle Ring (Wario World)|Battle Rings]].
 
By contrast, trapdoor sub-levels (of which there are eight in every level) are entirely focused on platforming and puzzles in the form of obstacle courses. They are self-contained and more unrealistic in design, featuring elements such as floating blocks. A punitive sub-level, [[Unithorn's Lair]], is accessed whenever Wario falls off the stage in the main level; here, Wario has to avoid the coin-stealing [[Unithorn]]s as he tries to find the crate with the [[Escape Spring]] that takes him back to the surface.
 
===Moves===
[[File:Wario Dash Attack WarioWorld.png|thumb|The Dash Attack, one of Wario's normal moves.]]
Wario has many moves in this game, some of which return from the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'' series]].
*Regular moves:
**[[Jump]]
**[[Punch]]: A new move introduced in this game, it helps Wario beat up enemies and crush objects.
**[[Dash Attack]]: One of Wario's signature moves, he rushes forward and uses his shoulder to ram into anyone or anything.
**[[Hyper Suction]]: Wario can open his mouth to suck in nearby coins and garlic.
**[[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, Wario's three most powerful moves, which can only be used after picking up an enemy. Using them is the only way to damage many of the game's bosses.
**[[Mega Toss]]: 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.

==''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!!'' demo==
Each time the player collects all treasures in a level, a demo set of [[microgame]]s from ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' is unlocked. These games can only be played by transfering them to a [[Game Boy Advance]] via [[Nintendo GameCube#Nintendo GameCube–Game Boy Advance Link Cable|Link Cable]]. After a set of games is downloaded, the Game Boy Advance can be disconnected from the Nintendo GameCube and will retain the microgames until it is turned off.

The game received fairly positive reviews, being praised by critics for its gameplay, but was also criticized by many for its short length. {{wp|GameSpy}} commented that "the game offers a little beyond of what the regular tridimensional games offers, however, what is offered is short and repetitive". {{wp|GameSpot}} stated that its length and simpleness can't hold the player's attention for more than a day. The ''{{wp|Play (US magazine)|Play}}'' magazine gave the game a perfect score, stating that "''Wario World'' pays off every second the player holding the controller, and that is greatness". ''{{wp|Game Informer}}'' praised the game's boss battles. {{wp|IGN}}'s reviewer, Matt Casamassina, stated that "the game is fine, but not as fine as a ''Mario'' game".<ref>https://m.uk.ign.com/articles/2003/06/19/wario-world-2</ref>
