You’ll reach a point where you find a humble-looking frog switch. Every level, which Wario travels to via vortex, has four jewel pieces you must unearth from chests hidden throughout the map (sound familiar?). There are four main passages (not including the entry and final stages), with four rooms and one boss battle in each, making for a whopping 16 levels – 18 if you include the first and last passages. Well, an ancient pyramid was recently discovered, and so the king of greed is back once again to embark on a mission of lavish indulgence and opulence. So…what’s our man up to this time around? But the sad, hard truth is it took several unfortunate steps backward. In fact, there are certain aspects of it that are vastly superior to its predecessor. It’s actually quite good, and my subjective mind would prefer it over Wario Land 3. Tell me I’m not the only person who thinks that portal over his head looks like an anus In fact, it was the copy I used for this review. The label wasn’t even ravaged too terribly. I immediately popped it into my Game Boy Advance to see if it still worked, and what do you know? It plays without a hitch and still saves. And much to my chagrin, I discovered it when it was too late. I left it in my pants pocket when I was younger and it ran its course through the washer, and possibly the dryer as well. This cartridge survived a washing machine. I bought it sometime around 2002, soon after its released, and it still works to this day. Also, why did Nintendo decide to stop separating his shoes from his pants after the first Wario Land?īefore I dive into this review, I wanna give a shoutout to my original Wario Land 4 cart. If there’s anything we’ve learned over the years…it’s that Wario has progressively gotten smaller. (also, not to worry, we are still working on SMWCP2 even in Blind Devil's absense! It's just we lost motivation for a few months due to him leaving.)ĮDIT 1: Day 2 submissions added (The Big Board and Palm Tree Paradise)!ĮDIT 2: Day 3 submissions added (Wildflower Fields and The Toxic Landfill)ĮDIT 3: Updated descriptions and stuff for the submissions I couldn't get done on time.Wario through the ages. I'm going to add more download pages once I finish the sample levels + Map16 assembly for that tileset and/or level, as I mainly focused on ripping the graphics without making the sample level. It's split into two tilesets: The hallway at the beginning of the level, and the main level (including the background).Īnd that's what I've got thus far. My absolute favorite level in Wario Land 4, one I still hold close to my heart to this very day: Golden Passage. I haven't also ripped every level's graphics in the game (not counting the miscelleanous stuff, which I will also do in the future), but I do have the majority of them in queue, ready to go or nearly done. While some backgrounds are really light and easy to use, other backgrounds take up around 4-6 ExGFX files just to even use in full! And several of these tilesets also require a Sprite Status Bar patch to not have to deal with that dumb ol' Layer 3 status bar because of palettes. If you've answered "yes" to all, some, or none of these questions, then you've come to the right place.įor the past 6 months, instead of working on SMWCP2, I had the motivation to rip the graphics of Wario Land 4, one of my favorite games of all time. Are you interested in making a hack where you don't mind much about the consequences of graphics space (including global graphics) if it means pretty and/or detailed foregrounds and backgrounds? Do you want a better rip of all of the graphics in the game than what we have in the graphics section? Have you ever played Wario Land 4 and/or wanted to use its graphics in your hack?
