About This Game
Breaking platformer conventions, Wario cannot die - instead enemies transform him into various states (like Flat Wario or Fat Wario) that become gameplay mechanics. These transformations are required to solve puzzles and access new areas across the game's non-linear chapters.
The game features multiple endings determined by player choices, with hidden treasures encouraging exploration. Its cartoonish visuals and exaggerated animations perfectly complement Wario's over-the-top personality and slapstick humor.
Wario Land 2 refined the foundation laid by its predecessor, establishing the Wario Land series as Nintendo's premier platformer for experimental mechanics. The game was later re-released on Game Boy Color with enhanced graphics.
