It's funny that they felt the need to put a number on this and insert it into the MARIO LAND continuity. A reminder that there was a time when that weird little pervert Wario couldn't sell a game on his own!
It is somewhat fitting, though, because this kind of feels like a weird romhack of 6 GOLDEN COINS. They took that game, made it even slower, made the characters even bigger, and made the gameplay more focused on physical combat and a bunch of powerups that kind of all do the same thing. I found it playable, but dull, clunky and way too long. They certainly succeeded in making Wario seem very distinct from Mario in how he plays, but for me, at least, not for the better.
It's fun to learn that the variable how-big-is-your-mansion endings from LUIGI'S MANSION are kind of a callback to this, of all things. Or do they do this thing in every Wario game?

The Virtual Boy Wario Land game also has multiple endings though that one involves either money or your play time depending on if you got all the stuff or not.
Nice. Is it always Wario getting a bigger and bigger house like in this one and LM
No the first is the only one to do the whole house thing with the ending since the 2nd game on GB/GBC basically has Wario's house be the house you get for getting the 2nd best ending in the first game. Other games do different things for the ending.
@Angel_Arle ah, well that's a funny coincidence, Luigi following in Wario's footsteps for their big solo games
