Wario Land II is a game by Nintendo that was released in Western regions for the Game Boy in March 1998. Contrary to the name, this is the third installment of the Wario Land series. It is a 2D platformer starring Wario, the greedy treasure hunter, who was also the protagonist of the series' previous games, Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 and Virtual Boy Wario Land. While the game was originally released as a Super Game Boy-enhanced title outside of Japan, a version adding Game Boy Color support was released in Japan seven months later as one of the October 1998 launch titles, featuring colored sprites and backgrounds. While the Game Boy Color version of this game is backwards compatible with the Game Boy system, its save is incompatible with the Game Boy if the game is saved on the Game Boy Color and vice-versa, requiring deleting the original save in order to save it on the other system. This version came out later in Western regions as well. It was also rereleased for the Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console in 2012.
