|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. | |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.

|Wario's 3D adventure is ''[[Wario World]]'', developed by [[Treasure]] for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. Wario is having a relaxing time at his castle, when an evil gem, called the "[[Black Jewel]]," suddenly awakens, destroys his castle, and turns all of his treasures into monsters. Wario travels through four strange worlds to defeat all of the enemies, claim back his treasures, and destroy the Black Jewel to regain control of his castle. In the process, he must also rescue the [[Spriteling]]s, the creatures that had sealed the Black Jewel away in the past; during the ending, they rebuild the castle, with the quality thereof depending on how many Wario rescued during his adventure. | |Wario's 3D adventure is ''[[Wario World]]'', developed by [[Treasure]] for the [[Nintendo GameCube]].

|''Wario: Master of Disguise'', developed by [[SUZAK Inc.]] for the Nintendo DS, is another platformer starring Wario, in which he advances through levels by taking advantage of eight forms that he is able to switch between with the help of a disguise-changing wand, [[Goodstyle]], which he steals from its previous owner, the master thief [[Count Cannoli]]. While never stated to be part of the ''Wario Land'' series, Count Cannoli's [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' is listed as originating from the ''Wario Land'' series. Additionally, the game's director, Yukata Hirata, has stated in an interview that the game's structure was based on that seen in previously released ''Wario Land'' games.<ref>https://spong.com/feature/10109549/Interview-Yutaka-Hirata-on-Wario-Master-of-Disguise</ref> | |||

The gameplay of the ''Wario Land'' series can be split in three groups | The gameplay of the ''Wario Land'' series can be split in three groups. | ||
The gameplay of the first two ''Wario Land'' games, ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'' and ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]'', 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 (collecting 100 coins grants Wario 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]]. | |||

In ''[[Wario Land II]]'' and ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', 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, allowing Wario to access areas that he is unable to reach. | In ''[[Wario Land II]]'' and ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', floating blocks are gone, as are level time limits.

In ''[[Wario Land 4]]'' and ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', Wario now has hit points and can die. If Wario takes damage, he will lose a heart. If Wario takes damage when he has only one heart left, he is kicked out of the level and he loses everything that 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]]'' and ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', Wario can die, | |||
