Features

Join Wario as he takes on his first starring role in a 3-D action game for NINTENDO GAMECUBE.

Experience a new type of side-scrolling action game as Wario World pushes the genre's boundaries.

Run, jump, punch and grab just about anything - even swing objects around and hurl them to break open new areas or defeat enemies.

Balance atop mysterious floating balls that have sticky surfaces and jump ball to ball to reach new areas.

Zip through wonderfully detailed levels and quirky puzzles to restore Wario's precious stolen treasures.

Company Line / Game Summary

Deep within Wario's castle lies a treasure room filled with the spoils he has plundered during his many adventures. A mysterious black jewel, ensconced among the treasures, has a strange power to transform gems into monsters. While Wario rests in his castle upstairs the jewel begins to morph his treasure trove into a host of monsters, turning the basement of Wario's beloved castle into a bizarre parallel universe. Awakening the next morning to monsters instead of treasure, Wario must step into that alternate world to win the treasure back.

My Take

Wario finally makes his appearance on a non-handheld console in his very own adventure. It will be interestingly to see how Wario World will play though. Hopefully it will retain the classic game play of the previous Wario games on the Game Boy. I’m definitely looking forward to trying this game out when it’s released in November!

Anticipation: 9/10
