A good Wario game got a bitch laid up at night talking bout "Greed is Good" and saying shit like "EGG SALAD!!!"

This game is fantastic and I'm so glad they relegated Wario Land 2 and 3's puzzle-platformer gimmick to small sections that break up the otherwise incredibly fast-paced levels.

I may have more nostalgia for WL2 personally, but WL4 is still probably the best game in the series. It's short, sweet & to the point. It understands its a handheld game that can be enjoyed in quick bursts & does things brilliantly. Smartly designed levels, nifty puzzles, solid exploration, fun abilities & control ---- it's hard to find much to complain about, if I'm being honest. If you're only gonna play one WL game, might as well be this one.

i absolutely adore how much character this game has. wario games are always so expressive and personality-ridden in a way other nintendo (and particularly mario) games just can't seem to ever fully match, and when everything about the game so thoroughly feels like the devs had so much fun creating it, it really seeps in to the game and adds a lot to the experience in a way that i find really hard to explain. the pixel art and how animate everything - especially wario - is, all the different level theming and the level design within them, the insane sound design (cough cough) - it just makes for something so deeply fun. this game might be short at only 18 levels, but essentially all of them are so well crafted that it isn't much of an issue, at least for me - having that many fantastic 2d puzzle platformer stages in a row really felt fulfilling enough as is. simply put, this is a fantastic game - probably the best 2d platformer within the mario franchise and maybe even for nintendo as a whole. play it!!

Quite fun! It is strange that Wario got an original title on the GBA, while Mario games only got remakes (in terms of platforming Mario games).
