Wish I liked this more, as I was a big fan of Super Mario Land 2 when I was a kid, but I never got around to playing the sequel. Wario Land is another 2D sidescroller where you collect coins, but the differences here, especially with controls, are stark. Where Mario is speedy and agile, Wario is a slow bruiser more focused on combat than platforming. Levels here just kind of end after a while, with little interesting build to the design. I personally don't find it nearly as fun, but I'm hoping this laid the foundation for better games to come in the Wario Land series.
