This is the first game to star Wario, a direct inversion of the Super Mario formula on the Game Boy. You play as the greedy anti-hero on a quest to steal a golden statue, and its chunky, expressive pixel art is a real treat. It's absolutely worth playing for its unique charm and solid platforming foundation.
The gameplay is more about exploration and puzzle-solving than pure speed, though you'll need decent reflexes for boss fights. The big surprise is Wario's shoulder charge, a powerful move that lets you bash through walls and enemies. It changes how you interact with every level. Give it a go to see where the mischief began.
