Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3



Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land is a somewhat misleading title. The game is not really about Mario at all, but rather about Wario. Mario does, however, make a cameo at the end of the game, stealing the statue Wario worked so hard to collect. However, Wario does get his own castle (and, at the highest amount, a whole planet!) as a reward for saving Kitchen Island.

Syrup Castle is invaded and all of his treasures stolen in this well-designed title for the GameBoy. The game is spent navigating a number of levels to reclaim his lost treasures, and has a significant level of replayability due to the branched path many of the levels take.



Wario starts out on Rice Beach, a small area of Kitchen Island. On the map screen, you'll notice that Kitchen Island is shaped like a skull, and a skull theme is present throughout the game. The save points are skulls, as are the level exits, secret doors, etc.
