Great game, unsure what to say that isn’t just a straightforward statement about what the game is really.
At some point Nintendo realised Mario just can’t be played on Game Boy, the guy is too nimble.
Wario on the other hand, let’s make him a slow beefy guy, with simple movement throw in a tackle, butt stomp, fire mouth and flight. That’s all he needs.
Make the levels more exploratory hide additional hidden levels with secret treasures to collect and have some of them change between plays.
It’s cool seeing the ideas move gradually between Mario to more exploratory, we’re not at Metroidvania yet and the levels aren’t episodic in nature. But it’s definitely Wario that’s for sure.
