This game represents the stillbirth of the Wariovania genre.
The gameplay concept is pretty basic Metroid-style exploration of a 2D cruise ship environment, where different disguises (switched between by drawing symbols on the touch screen) enable you to interact with and reach different parts of the levels. You’re trying to collect treasure which appears in mostly optional chests that contain perhaps the least inspired warioware minigames in existence. In between all this is an array of exposition and interruptions that are mainly annoying, at their height mildly amusing.
It’s simply not fun. The level design is uninspired and there’s not much satisfaction from successfully solving puzzles or navigating the maps. I played through several levels to give it a fair shot and while it wasn’t an outright offensive experience, there is simply no fun to be had here. The only thing of much value is the 3D renderings of Wario being a stinky slob.
