"what if wario's face just never stopped vibrating like a gmod model lol" - someone on the dev team probably
A surprisingly unique little game, but anyone who bought this full price in 2003 probably feels pretty burned because I 100% this in an afternoon.
Wario is pretty fun to control, he's surprisingly nimble, but he also feels like hes got some grease on his shoes, which makes moments of actual precise platforming sketchy. I actually enjoyed fighting things more than I thought I would, and it has some cool bosses.
The level design is probably the most interesting aspect of this game though. To compensate for the fact that there's only 8 levels, the levels are pretty large and multilayered, varies up the gameplay with the red crystal sections that tend to be little platform puzzling section, and the levels themselves are are pretty varied both visually and in design.
You also might've noticed that I said 8 levels. Because there is only 8 levels. The game is extremely short, especially if you don't care about 100% (arguably the only thing even worth collecting all of is the sprites, unless you really care about small chunks of warioware levels. Which you don't.), and despite the short length there's obvious padding in most of the later levels requiring you to backtrack to acquire all the treasures, and how most of the enemies in the game are reskins.
A fun short session. Go download it on dolphin or something.
Also, if it's possible you should play this game via the JP version. For some reason the final boss has some extra phase in JP exclusively and some other smaller details. weird.
