One of my favourite games from my childhood and a great game in its own right, just a little too frustrating sometimes.

It's a victim of its own ideas, since while Wario being unable to die is a fun concept to play around with, it also can just be an inconvenience and can lead to a few frustrating moments.

It doesn't overstay it's welcome though, whether you're collecting all the treasures or not, and it's certainly got an addictive gameplay loop. The visuals, animations and music are all really memorable and give the game a quirky Wario charm.

If you're looking for a Game Boy platformer with something a bit different to offer, then I definitely recommend giving it a try.

Just don't bother collecting all the music coins. The clunky golf minigame isn't worth it, in my opinion.
