The first two ''Wario Land'' games bear more similarities to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' than do subsequent ''Wario Land'' games. These ''Wario Land'' games have floating blocks much like [[? Block]]s that contain [[coin]]s, helmets, or hearts (collect 100 for a [[Extra Life|1-Up]]). Helmets give Wario new abilities, such as [[Jet Wario|the ability to fly]] or [[Bull Wario|pound the ground]]. If Wario touches an enemy, he will take damage, lose his helmets, or [[Tiny Wario|shrink down in size]]. All levels have a [[Time Limit]]. | |||

{{quote2|Everyone wants a piece of Wario. It seems that someone is always out to steal his treasure or just ruin his day. The temperamental hero is terrorized, transformed, and taken to the cleaners. Will he fight back or howl like a kicked dog?|''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Issue #106, March 1998}} | |||
Floating blocks are gone, as are level time limits. Wario has no hit points and cannot die, but touching an enemy stuns Wario, knocking him backward. Some enemies don't stun Wario but transform him in one of several ways, these transformations replacing the helmets of the first two games. For example, if he is crushed by something heavy, he will be [[Flat Wario|flattened]]. Wario's transformations can help him complete the level. [[Puffy Wario]], for example, can float through the air, providing access to areas previously out of reach. | |||

| | |''[[Wario Land II]]'' continues the battle between Wario and Captain Syrup; in this installment, the [[Black Sugar Gang]] flood [[Wario Castle]] and steal his treasure. Wario chases after them to get his treasure back, and during the mission, also has to rescue his pet [[hen]]. | ||

| | |In ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', Wario visits a cave and discovers a [[Music Box]]. Upon winding it, Wario gets teleported to a [[Music Box World|different world]]. Here, he meets an oracle who informs him that he has to save the world from hoards of monsters. After defeating these monsters, the oracle reveals himself to be [[Rudy]]. Wario defeats Rudy and all the monsters return to being citizens, who thank Wario for saving them. Wario is teleported back to the normal world. | ||

Wario now has hit points. If Wario touches an enemy, he will lose a heart. If all hearts are gone, Wario is kicked out of the level and he loses everything he collects in the level up to that point; however, Wario can't get a [[Game Over]]. Wario's transformations are still in the games, but are less prominent. Levels are still without time limits, though one commences after hitting a [[Switch (Wario Land 4)|switch]] (in ''Wario Land 4'') or shaking a [[Merfle Barrel]] (in ''Wario Land: Shake It!''). If Wario returns to the start of the level in time, the level is cleared. In ''Wario Land 4'', if the timer reaches zero, Wario loses the [[Coin (Wario Land 4)|coins]] he has collected until none remain. When Wario has no coins left, he is sent back to the [[Golden Pyramid]]. In ''Wario Land: Shake It!'' if the timer reaches zero, Wario loses all of his coins and collected items. However, if Wario has reached a [[checkpoint block]], he is sent back to it. | |||

| | |In ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', the story begins with Wario driving his car in the desert looking for a legendary treasure he read about in a newspaper. Deep within a jungle, Wario discovers the [[Golden Pyramid]], where he encounters a [[Kuro Neko|black cat]] who leads him inside the pyramid. Throughout the game, Wario faces five bosses who guard the evil ruler of the pyramid, the [[Golden Diva]]. After defeating the Golden Diva, Wario learns that the cat, which led him inside the pyramid was in fact [[Princess Shokora]], who was cursed by the Golden Diva. Princess Shokora, now with the Golden Diva defeated, turns back into her human self and thanks Wario. | ||
