I'm of the opinion that Wario Land: Shake It! is not only the best Wario game, it's better than Wario Land 4, and it's better than both Mario Galaxy games (in my opinion by the way). I adore Wario Land: Shake It with the bottom of my heart with alot of things it does. It defines Wario so well in my eyes, the gameplay is really fun, the music is one of my favorite gaming OSTs ever, the visuals are Cuphead levels of spectacular, I adore so much of what this game does.
I understand the shaking may seem annoying, but unlike DKC Retruns where the games expects you to be precise, the motion controls in Wario Land: Shake It! is justified since it's not as hard as DKC Returns and it controls differently from that game. Also you're not gonna have a game on the Wii, have its setting called the Shake Dimension, have Wario & Shake King shake stuff, have a coin-bag that only spews money if you shake it, and not expect the player the shake the remote. It adds a funny, weird charm to the experience.
Two gripes I have with the game is the submarine levels are okay but inferior to the platforming levels and the rewards for the missions is underwhelming making the replay value sucky. Otherwise, it's genuinely one of my favorite & best games on the Wii + one of my favorite games by Nintendo. I would unironically love to see a Wario standalone movie based on Shake It! and I wish Nintendo (+ Smash Bros) represents the Wario Land series better since WarioWare overshadows it.

Subspace Emissary is a narrative mess and I'm tired of pretending it's PEAK GAMING OMG.
"Are you seriously going to view the adventure mode as some sort of movie?" Yes...........

Why is Wario just turning people into trophies? At least Bowser is taking orders from Ganondorf but we never see Wario make a call with him. Alot of characters realistically have no purpose like what does Snake contribute when other characters could've filled his spot. Exposition and character backstory? What's that? Nah this is a river that randomly chooses where to go, shove in characters that just feel like they have to contribute somehow or along for the ride.

Ok this is mainly a satire thing, I don't think the story of Subspace needs to be like The Lego Movie..... but the biggest flick in the nuts that this mode offers and something that isn't a satire act is Sonic being introduced at the literal last second. Why the fuck is Sonic only unlockable and playable and contributable in the final fucking boss? I get Sonic as supposedly a rushed character to develop (which may have tarnished Sonic's moveset and his undeserved top tier status in 4 & Ultimate in many's eyes) but if you ask me, either have Sonic heavily involved in the story or not have him at all and be an optional like Jigglypuff & Wolf. You're going to have this molden cheese on a hook and toy with me like this by giving Sonic around like 10 seconds of screentime in the cutscenes?????? This is such a small nitpicky thing but it genuinely angers me that Sonic got the short end of the stick compared to other cast members like Snake, Wario, Mario, Ganondorf, etc.
