Summary
Wario land 3 for the Gameboy Color is a true platformer that carries on the 2D tradition in fine style. One day Wario (Mario's arch-nemesis, as if you didn't know that!) wanders into a cave and discovers a music box that contains a hidden world inside. Wario learns that a wicked being sealed the god of this world within a music box and removed his powers. Wario must find the five music boxes to break the hidden seal, save the world and return home.
Wario Land is a fun and challenging game. There are many levels to test your dexterity and puzzle solving ability. One of the nice things about Wario is the manner in which the enemies that he encounters in the game affect him. For example, he might accidentally swallow a do-nut, which causes him to enlarge to twice his normal size. This slows him down but also allows Wario to break blocks in the floor leading to new sections of the level. Watching Wario run around on fire will certainly make you laugh.
Wario also has the ability to learn new skills as you progress through the game. Because you use a map to navigate to the different levels, you can return to levels already completed with these new skills to try and find secret areas. Which adds to the replayability factor considerably and to the challenge of finding everything that is hidden in the game. Wario land 3 has a great heritage and it shows.
