Very solid game that's less ambitious in some respects than Wario Land 2, but still very neat, novel, and fun to play around and explore in.

Also like 2, it's nice to have a game that doesn't have lives to deal with, but there's definitely a point where the game takes its kids gloves off and decides to go all in on wasting your time with hallways full of things to just stunlock you without precise execution, and it relies way too much on "go through segment to find chest, go further to get key and get sent back to start, do segment again to get to chest."

It all wears a bit thin that getting all the treasures can be a pain as you try to remember what part of a level you were in a few hours ago has the chest you want, and there's simply no way I'd ever want to try to get all the coins in a level with how painful some of them can be.

I enjoyed playing, but I'm also glad to be done with it.
