Wario Land II
Wario Land II is a Game Boy game starring Wario. It was later released on the Game Boy Color.
The game is a sequel to Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land. Wario is asleep one morning in the castle which he worked so hard for, until he is woken up by a loud ringing sound. He gets out of bed, and goes in search of the source of the noise. He is surprised to find Spear Men in his castle. As he smashes a giant alarm clock, he notices that his castle is being flooded! He switches off a giant faucet and drains the water out of his castle. He then learns that Captain Syrup has returned, now leading the Black Sugar Pirates, and has stolen his precious treasure!
The player controls Wario in a quest to recover his treasure - which Syrup's pirates have hidden all over the land. Unlike the last game, Wario is invincible this time. However, when he is hurt, he drops coins, which are needed to play mini-games in order to unlock treasure chests. Wario's different 'helmets' are replaced in this game, by the ability to be hurt in different ways. He can be set on fire, zombified, stung (causing him to swell up), and be fed cakes to make him fat - all of which can help him get further through levels.
Wario's pursuit eventually leads him to Syrup Castle, where he fights Captain Syrup. However, that is not the end. The game boasts a large host of secret levels, which are unlocked by finding secret exits in levels. Captain Syrup can be fought many times in many different machines. After finding all of Wario's treasure, the game 'Flagman DD' from the Game & Watch can be unlocked, starring the character Dangerous Duck.
