All known heads-up display designs of Virtual Boy Wario Land throughout development.

Early iterations

While the Virtual Boy was still known by its development name VR-32, it was already being hinted that Wario was to have a major game appearance on the system. A Nintendo Power issue in December 1994 revealed computer-generated screenshots showing Wario in a virtual-reality atmosphere, with a caption asking "How would you like to meet Wario in person, face-to-face, eye-to-eye?"[1]

Early the following year at the Winter Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, a single level demo of VB Mario Land was shown, demonstrating a side-scrolling game which three-dimensional aspects such as moving from the background to the foreground. A Wario head figure was shown within the demo.[2] Additionally, artwork of Mario and Wario holding a Virtual Boy was also shown at the Consumer Electronics Show.

VB Mario Land was absent from E3 1995 in June and went unreleased. However, Virtual Boy Wario Land was first revealed at the E3 event[ref] and uses similar concepts to the VB Mario Land demo, such as moving between the background and foreground of a level.
