Wario Blast Game by Nintendo Reviewed by The Avardancer Size: 2 Megabits Save: Password, numeric, four characters Released: 1994 Works with: Any version of Gameboy Opening Snide Remarks: Wario Versus Bomberman? What the heck? Something is wrong. Seriously wrong. This game was called "Bomberman" in Japan and just featured our little pyrotechnic buddy. Wario was added to the US release. Strange thing. Gameplay: When you start out, choose your character and you go in a best two out of three match versus a certain amount of bad guys. Kill them in two rounds to win and progress to the next level. After three levels is a boss character. Beat that boss character to gain a new skill. The game is extremely repetitive. Sadly, it isn't much fun either. Unless you own a Super Gameboy. Pop Wario Blast in to your Super Gameboy and enjoy up to four-player death-matches. (With the Mulit-tap device.) That's fairly fun. But if you own a Super Gameboy, than you own a SNES and you should get Super Bomberman instead. The basic play is very slow. Sadly, it can also be a bit tedious. Graphics: Wario has never looked uglier. The graphics, while easy to see, are nothing to look at. The Super Gameboy colors are okay. The border in the Super GAmeboy device is good too. The graphics are a mixed bag. Sound: The same with the sound. It's okay; and it fits; but it sounds a bit low and muffled. The sound adds nothing to the game. Music: Happy Bombyman music mixed with a little Wario music to equal another reason to keep your Gameboy volume completely down. Play Control: The play control lags a little. Sniff. This game coulda been a contender. Final Analysis: Avoid this game. It has an interesting premise and it SHOULD have been good; BUT it isn't. Ignore this piece of filler. It is a tarnish on Wario's image as well as Bomberman's image. Forget it exists.
