I've played this game a few times before and always had a good time with it. I grew up playing the shit out of Wario Land 1 & 3, skipping 2 for some reason, and should have been lined up perfectly to adore this game, but it never clicked.
UNTIL NOW
This time I played on an anbernic and took my time with it and everything fell into place, i don't know if it was Wario Land's weirdness or the complex level design but something stopped me fully chilling with this game in the past -- now though, I'm all in.
Vibe for days, incredible music, fantastic platforming challenges and puzzles make this a joy to play. Why aren't there more platformers where you control a brick-shithouse type character?
Bursting through walls and enemies with Wario's shoulders, head and arse are joyous, additcive actions. I finished the game and immediately started again, just because i wasn't done blasting dweebs.
The bosses can be frustrating, but this can be negated with single-use powerups, but earning the currency for these is boring. But it's fine. It dosn't hurt the experience too much.
The game has so much personality too, Wario feels at this point fully fleshed out. Yelling regularly to himself about treasure, or at you to "Hurry up!", he feels like the Wario he's now famous for being.
Terrific game, and ts great to see the series getting some sort of recognition from the Indie scene with Pizza Tower and Anton Blast aping the format of this game.
