[[File:WW To Do List.png|thumb|200px| | ''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. | ||
''Wario World'' is a 3D | |||
{{ | 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: | ||
*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. | |||
===Controls=== | |||
*{{button|GCN|stick}}: Move / Wild Swing-Ding (rotate while holding enemy) | |||
*{{button|GCN|A}}: Jump / Corkscrew Conk (while in a Dash Attack) | |||

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 simplicity cannot 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 ''Super Mario'' game".<ref> | 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 simplicity cannot hold the player's attention for more than a day.
