****************************************************************************
Opening Snide Remarks: Wouldn't you like to play a game starring Mario's
worst nemesis? Nintendo thinks so. Another cool Mario game with "Land" in
the title.

****************************************************************************
Gameplay Descripion: You play as none other than Wario, Mario's enemy in the
previous Mario Land game. The game takes place in Syrup Island. A big statue
of a familiar princess has been stolen by the Sugar Pirates. Wario figures...
If he steals the statue BACK, he's gonna get buku bucks if he can sell it
back to the Royal Family.

The Play variation is great. There are lots of levels, bonus levels, mini
games, multiple endings, etc. The game will keep you entertained for a long
time. A really long time. If you're one of those gamers that has to find
everything in a game before you put it down, this is a good title for you.

Forget everything you know about Mario. This game has re-designed almost
everything from the ground up. From coin blocks to power-ups. From your final
boss to the little tiny koopas. It's like no Mario game you have ever played.

Liked: It's a perfect addition to any Mario fan's collection. Replay Value?
Heck of a lot.

Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************
Graphics Description: Wario is BIG. He's very easy to see on the screen.
Nintendo tried to give Wario Land a look that had never been done before. And
it worked. Everything looks great, the levels, the enemies... and the detail
is great.

Liked: Big Wario. Good Details.

Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************
Sound/Music Description: Music and Sound FX? Nothing to complain about. This
is Nintendo... The effects, the beats, it's all in line.

Liked: Great, original songs that will make an enemy feel like a hero.

Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************
Play Control/Game Design: New moves include stuff like bashing into the
walls. Jumping, and butt pounding. Mario controls have always been great and
easy. Don't you think? The level layout is great.

Liked: Good level layout, new moves, good controls.

Hated: No problems.

****************************************************************************
Improve: A color version, along with SML 1 and 2, would be cool.

RIYL: Any Mario game.

****************************************************************************
Final Words: I've tried to find problems with this game, but sorry, I can't!
It puts a new spin on Mario, and it's a great game for anyone to own.
