Play virtual boy wario land, forget the rest exist as they are all inferior to it.

>>8325462
Keep in mind you are playing an original gameboy game and don't expect fast paced, exciting gameplay.
It does have a cool wario flavored mood and music, so it is still kind of interesting.

>>8325462
It's a children's game anon. You don't need tips.

>>8325462
you can summon a big coin by holding up and pressing B. You need ten normal coins to do this, and while it's mainly used to open up doors and activate checkpoints, big coins are fucking excellent weapons.
Just holding one will kill most enemies if they touch it, it's useful to carry one when you're swimming. And they're a god send if you don't have any powerups and you're reduced to small Wario.

>>8325470
Incredible, incredible.

>>8325462
Play it but finish Super Mario 2: 6 coins before starting with Wario. But all in all Wario games are great.

Wario Land is the subject of the most autistic thing I've ever done. I removed the entire label from this game because his red nose bothered me as a kid.
Loved this game as a kid, but its a gameboy platformer. So kind of slow and boring if you pick this up today.

>>8325470
Warioland 4 says you’re wrong

>>8325552
OP here, I've been on a Super Mario marathon and writing down all my thoughts on them with each playthrough. So I have played Land 1 and 2 already.

Originally I wasn't going to include Wario Land but decided to for the sake of posterity.

>>8325552

>>8325462
That was my first Wario, too, OP. It's really easy to go into it fresh. I would just recommend looking all over the levels if you want to find the hidden treasures (which you can do any time, since you can replay levels as much as you want).

>>8325470
Virtual Boy Wario Land builds upon this one, so 1. you're retarded and gay and 2. you clearly have not played Wario Land 1.

>>8325462
If no one's said it already, just know that if you ever want to move faster, you can always hold up and do short hops. Its intended function is to just jump higher, but since Wario also moves faster while doing it, there's some extra functionality.
>>8325475
>filename
This is autistic as fuck, but given where we are, whatever. You ever try to "feel out" the buckets' contents with you mind or some shit? I do, and there's been times where I can consistently get it right all three rounds, though more often two.

>>8325686
I always guess and eat shit without fail.

>>8325675
wl1 is slow and boring and has too many gay autoscrollers, vbwl shits all over it.

This

>>8325462
You can literally 100% percent this game in an afternoon

>>8325470
This except replace VB Wario Land with Wario Land 3
One of the most interesting and creative platformers ever—whole game is built around the concept of deliberately getting hit by enemies and using their "power-downs" (like getting lit on fire or turned into a zombie) to clear obstacles. One of a kind experience

>>8325470
I like vb wario, but don't be such a contrarian

>>8325805
2's usage of getting hit setting you back is infinitely more annoying, imo.
Wario Land 3 was a little scaled back since the devs knew you would be playing every level four times and were all less linear than 2's individual levels.

99% of pre-2000s handheld games are not amazing. Wario Land was OK for its time, but it likely won't blow your mind today in the same way.

>>8325470
VB wario makes me wish people gave a shit about virtual boy demoscene, only really for the soundchip

>>8326157
But it's fun and enjoyable and that's all what matter.

>>8325653

>>8326160
If all VB games were like Wario Land then VB would be one of the most successful consoles of all time.

feels bad man

>>TFW no good VB emulator

I played through the entire game using mednafen with no issue whatsoever

>>8326235
>mednafen
it's nice but it's geared towards speed not accuracy

>>8325470
They are kind of like Kirby games except for 4 and vb

>>8326286
Meant for OP>>8325462

>>8326249
Sounds more like a problem with your setup than the emulation

>>8325616
The (five if you include Virtual Boy, six if you count Shake It on Wii) Wario Land games are better than the Super Mario Land games.

>WL1
Sequel to SML2 with even more exploration and secrets, and instead of bouncing around and shit like Mario, you smash the fuck out of everything. It has big expressive sprites and in general, is very fun.

>VBWL
Kind of like Wario 1, but short and linear instead, geared towards replayability. Your moveset is expanded, the powerups are genuinely great, and the game has some delightful pixelart.

>WL2
Wario gets a massive speed and power boost to even his most powerful form in 1, and is also now immortal, which means some things that would kill or damage Wario now give him an alternate state necessary to find secrets (you get set on fire and autorun and need to burn things down, or you become flat and hover so you can squeeze by tight spots). The game is as open-ended as 1, perhaps even more so, because WL2 is a cyoa structured game with multiple paths based on secret finding, with even a different stry and ending. Very unique game.

>WL3
Kind of like 2, except it's Metroidvania for some reason? You start depowered and slowly grow more powerful as you explore an open-ish world with multiple paths you have to access with either new abilities or treasures. Kinda more linear than 2, but it starts kinda branching towards the middle of the game.

>WL4
Wario can die again, but is also more poweful than ever, with some very satisfying changes to his moveset, and a beautiful looking and sounding trippy, surreal world to explore. You're required to gather treasure and speedrun stages in order to advance, and you even get two harder difficulties, so it's definitely the hardest Wario. Just an amazing game overall, crazy this is so early in the GBA lifespan. Crazy pixelart and music in this bad boy.

>>8325470
I somewhat agree, besides VB Wario and Wario Land 1 the rest are boring.

>>8325475

>>8326221
Iwata also lost the opportunity to port some of the VB games to the 3DS, he was a good dev but such a freaking lousy CEO.

>>8325462
It's kind of like a Super Mario game, except you can brawl like cunt; pound the ground with your ass or jump on enemies heads to stun them, then pick them up and fling them at other enemies, into pits, into spikes, or under crushing blocks and enemy fire. Or do a running shoulder tackle to send them flying off the map, or crush them under your fat ass.

Levels are short but fun, you can easily squeeze in one or two while riding a bus or sitting in a waiting room.

>>8325470
Commit Sadako

It's not Sanic or anything, but I wouldn't call the pace slow.

>>8325616
It's well worth it, it's the best Mario Land IMO

Best way to play the game is on the original GB, in 1995 or 1996 as a twelve year old.

>>8326586
Nintendo wants you to forget the virtual boy existed as it reminds people of their only console failure (well, besides the Wii U).

>>8325559
You know you can't escaoe Wario, right? The label ripping was only delaying the inevitable.

>>8325462
Enjoy it while it lasts. Wario Land is the best game in the series, as well as the best mario game. The rest of them aren't bad, per se, excluding the shitty meme collections of mini games that soiboys love so much, but they just can't compete with the original. Not only do they commit the cardinal sin of changing the style of the spritework which was already perfect, but the gimmicks get grating way too soon, the beautiful overworld is gone, and the music sucks. Just play the first one.

>>8326301
I actually wasn't really planning on playing the rest of Wario Land.

I'm someone who doesn't have anything against Game Boy games. It's one of my favorite systems and I still find them enjoyable regardless if they're a bit slow. Mario Land 1 even is still enjoyable even if it doesn't hold a candle next to any other Mario. Mario Land 2 is much better, but it's too easy. So far, Wario Land is the most interesting of the three. The stiff platforming actually doesn't feel like a pain here, because platforming is not really the focus. And it's also much more challenging.

>He doesn't just pick the coin back up

>>8325462
Just play it dumbass ,it's possibly the very best gameboy game.

>>8327497
Mario Land 1 and 2 are better
Tetris is better
Pokemon is better
Link's Awakening is better
Oracle Zeldas are better
Donkey Kong Land is better

>>8327523
Mario Land 1 is debatable but it's certainly better than mario land 2

>>8327497
Wario Land II exists, Anon.

>>8327523
Original Link's Awakening is on par with it, but the rest, though great, are worse.

>>8327593
To be worse than 1.

>>8326597
>Sneed's
So that's why they posted its entire library in one of their biggest releases and why they feature it in a mocking way in several of their games.

>>8325470

walk to the right. Jesus fucking christ do you want me to make a tiktok explaining it?

This game shits on all the ones you listed.

HAVE A ROTTEN DAY

>>8326578
Wario Land 1 feels like Wario’s Adventures as a kid and should be before SML2

>omitting VB
You're not a real Wario enjoyer.

>>8325462
Several things to note:

Most Wario games are different from each other so don't go in expecting them to be the same shit like Mario all the time


VB Wario Land is god tier but the only good Virtual Boy emulator is on RetroArch so


Wario Land 1 is pretty slow but if you nab the Bird Hat powerup your movement speed will ioncrease. Good for getting around and looking for secret treasures that get you better endings.

Enjoy the games while you can. They're all amazing but there aren't a lot.

Wario!

Wario 4 Ever!

>>8325462
WL1 is good, still kinda mario clone but still fun

VB is fun, good luck finding a way to play it. I recommend grayscale emulators

2 is great, solid entry, wario land found its identity there. Solid puzzle platformer

3 is shit, its a poor mans metroidvania. Very experimental and lackluster. Hard skip.

WL4 is the best one of them all. Its a literal 10/10 game. Its the best GBA game IMO, perfection at its finest

Master of Disguise is shovelware, disregard entirely

Shake It was super mediocre. IMO very overrated. Level design sucks, art and animation is overrated. Could have made it on gamecube using tweened 2d sprites like Thousand Year Door and it wouldve been better (Especially if R&D 1 still made it. I dont trust outside devs anymore out of nintendo. BTW they made vector sprites for Warioware in the GC port of Mega Microgames so they could have literally pulled it off on gamecubne [a 2D wario land])

Wario World..... ehh... its a nice little novelty to play on Dolphin to see how a 3D Wario would play like, but its not worth the money especially right now, or even back then arguably. Its like 4 hours long or something. Also has a bit of stank due to being developed by Trannysure. Very bad mismatch of tone and humor

Theres not much to sink your teeth into, so enjoy it while it lasts OPee

>>8329878
>the only good Virtual Boy emulator is on RetroArch so

If you habe a headset, there's also a Virtual Boy emulator for VR which is pretty damn amazing since it preserves the game's 3D effect.

>>8329878
Works flawlessly on Mednafen for Wii, as well, plus the 3D is there if you get red/blue glasses.
