This is from the official Wario Land 4 Japanese website in a segment called "Ask Wario", Part 2. Sourcegaming provided a translation: Q: *Wario, why are you invincible? Also, in your diary it sounds like you ate a lot, but why do you get fat after eating a single apple in your game? (lol)* A: _Let me answer the first one: Why am I invincible? You don’t want to die, right? Well, I don’t want to die either!!_

[@dalejhunter1]

According to the Enclosed Instruction Manual and some insider lore, the knock off Mr Game&Watch guy is actually the black cat. When you enter the hallway toward the Boss, very occasionally do you see the black cat go into the store and just vanish. And if you beat the game with at least 90% of the treasure, well... The ending says it all.

[@dustymcwari4468]

Also I remember that if you go fight the Golden Diva after you purchase an attack, once the Game & Watch person is done, it turns into the black cat, and proceeds to attack her, which leads to the Golden Diva to capture her and start the battle Also the Golden Diva’s ghost faces match the current mask she’s wearing, so you can change them by attacking her prior to the fight

The funniest thing, which I personally LOVE, about Wario is that he is not a real "hero", unlike Mario, but is considered such because in his selfishness and desire for wealth, he ends up doing good deeds simply by accident (just like how we see in Wario Land 4 or also Shake It), and that's something I find hilarious about Wario's character.

What I find most upset or disappointed about the lack of this franchise awareness is not only that there hasn’t been a new one since Wario Land Shake It on the Wii, but that this franchise could have been a more better inspiration for Wario in Smash. Brawl, the 4th one, and Ultimate, Wario could have gotten a moveset based on his fighting moves in the Wario Land series, even Wario World or Master of Disguise even. And while I'm still at about Wario in Smash, since Wario’s final smash “Wario Man” is no longer just a power up anymore and instead just Wario Man doing a quick cinematic finishing move without the player having to do anything else, Wario’s final smash could maybe have him taking all 7-8 disguises from “Wario Master of Disguise” while finishing off the character(s) in a cinematic style, similar to his official latest final smash. And maybe we could've also have Captain Syrup as a newcomer for ultimate to add another to the "Mario-universe arch-nemeses" (Mario vs. Bowser, Yoshi vs. Bowser Jr., Donkey Kong vs. King K. Roll, and Wario vs. Captain Syrup). That’s just my opinion.

Those items that take health away from the bosses in Wario Land 4 don't really matter that much on Normal or Hard mode, but they certainly do on Super Hard. It's pretty cool how all of the difficulties change the item and enemy placements to the point that Super Hard pretty much demands full level knowledge. No surprise that it is only unlocked after beating the Hard mode.

[@cookiestar3069]

If you’re new to the series, don’t miss out on Wario Land 4. I don’t think Shake It is that similar, because it’s missing the transformations that make 2, 3, and 4 the magical puzzle-platformers they are.

Genuinely my favorite platformer series of all time, Wario is such a charismatic character in anything and everything he's in, and it warms my heart to see him implicated in such a high number of fantastic video games. He's even the face of amazing party games to boot! Everyone, buy WarioWare Get It Together so we might one day see another Wario platformer. A man can only dream.

[@toongrowner1]

I grew up with wario land 3, still love the game and replay it from time to time. Always loved that Wario was more than just "evil mario" and was actually more of an anti hero. Though as a kid I always thought that he can't be beat by bad-guys cause he is himself a bad guy. Kinda in a logic like only invisible people can see invisible people. ^^;

You know what I'd love to see? A fusion of the Wario Land and Warioware Series. A 2D metroidvainia platformer with Diamond City as the main hub where you explore the world to rescue the Warioware crew and use their respective abilities both in combat AND to open up new areas around the world? That would be INCREDIBLE.

[@jaretco6423]

That would be cool.

Honestly next to the likes of donkey kong, wario is one of my favorite characters in all of Nintendo's history. The fact that they were allowed to get away with so much with the character is amazing. Oh, and apparently there's a secret to that pause menu in wario land. If you let it sit for a long long time, apparently wario somewhere says sorry. It's weird!

We all agree that Wario Land should get a comeback but I personally feel that Nintendo doesn’t do enough with the Mario franchise as a whole. Imagine a Wario Land game that had Waluigi, Mona, and Jimmy T. join in on the fun.

The knock off Mr game and watch in warioland 4 is actually the black cat that lead wario to fall into the pyramid at the start of the game. If you buy the black dog to use for the final boss you get a little scene before the fight showing that the black stick man is actually the cat.

I genuinely love wario master of disguise, the story is charming and the characters are all interesting and pretty diverse personality wise. Def don’t do it all in one sitting though the mini games stink. I do take issue with your take that it looks ugly, the pixel art is lovely! What are you taking about. All the backgrounds look unique with detail you just didn’t get from other ds platformers. I recently revisited this game on the Wii U virtual console and had a blast playing it through.

It's artstyle is actually my favourite out of all of the Wario games. It's also crimininal he did not bring up some of the absolute bangers in the OST

[@marksmithwas12]

This gem of a game introduced what may possibly be the first instance of a character consciously dabbing in a video game 😌 Ok jesting aside (yes he really does dab, multiple times), I consider this game to be the true sequel to Wario Land 4, even though The Shake Dimension is meant to fill that role. The only thing I see wrong with it is that it's probably too long for the average player. This is a very long game, but they made sure to stuff the game with as much fun as possible. 100%ing this game is a difficult endeavour 😆

[@marksmithwas12]

@@rendumguy7596 I didn't say it *is* the sequel, I said I consider it to be. It has those captivating vibes, a wider sense of exploration compared to The Shake Dimension, it has the weird and wonderful collectibles with an added layer of humour with the descriptions of each treasure. It's also a 2D platformer that has Wario transforming into different 'guises' (a step up from Wario Land 4 where they're more like debuff transformations used to solve puzzles). The Shake Dimension is fun, but it feels a little lacking somehow. I love it as a game, it was a lot of fun but it didn't feel like a sequel to Wario Land 4, it felt like a sideline game? Of course this is all just my opinion

Just a correction on the "Game & Watch looking dude", that is actually the black cat you see throughout the game, which in turn is Princess Shokora. She is actively helping you throughout the game, which I think is a really neat touch and puts her up there as my third favorite Wario character, after Captain Syrup and Wario himself. My fourth favorite is 5-Volt because I have a thing for cartoon moms and feel no shame.
