Wario Land 3: The Mysterious Music Box Medley [PV]

Wario Land 3 is a slapstick puzzle-platformer Metroidvania-lite, an overlooked Game Boy gem, and our favorite game in the Wario Land series. (4 comes fairly close, but...) For SiIvaGunner's King for Another Day Tournament, we wanted to give an old favorite of ours the rep it deserves. It was probably our most ambitious arrangement ever up to that point, and our first medley suite, so I hope I did it justice!
Thank you, Ms. Ishikawa, for an important part of the soundtrack to our childhood in your work on the original Wario Land games and Link's Awakening.
If any part of this piques your interest, please give Wario Land 3 a try! It's readily available on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console.

Thank you for giving Wario Land 3 a chance in the spotlight, this arrangement is awesome!

[@hayesabdullah2018]

i guess I am kind of off topic but does anyone know a good place to stream new movies online?

I'm getting all joyous inside. This was my favorite game back on the Game Boy Color. I never did beat it because I was a dumb little boy who couldn't solve all of its intricate puzzles, but I enjoyed exploring the world all the same. Thank you so much for this arrangement, and here's to Wario Partners LLP! I bet they could take at least 2 more rounds with good rips like this one!

Just FINALLY 100%'d (this) one of my favorite/first video games I ever received. After TWENTY ass years. Could not recommend more going back to finally finish off the job my man. You won't regret it in the slightest.

[@theerandomdude2375]

[@UnexpectedGamer7]

This 5:57-long video has given Wario Land more love than the entirety of the Super Smash Bros series.

[@Mac14329]

Hyperbole.

[@UnexpectedGamer7]

@@Mac14329 The sad part is that it's not even hyperbole. Super Smash Bros focuses almost exclusively on Wario Ware. The Wario Land content in Smash Bros is: 1: Wario's shoulder charge (which for some reason had been removed in Smash 4, but thankfully it came back in Ultimate) 2: The music from the first level of Wario Land: Shake It. ...and that's it. Two things. Meanwhile, Wario has the bike from Wario Ware, a Wario Ware stage, tons of Wario Ware music (including remixes), and not one, but TWO Wario Ware assist trophies. The lack of appreciation for the Wario Land franchise in Super Smash Bros is the saddest thing about Smash Bros, and I say this as someone who absolutely loves Smash and thinks that it usually does a phenomenal job at representing franchises.

[@Mac14329]

@@UnexpectedGamer7 It kind of is. Saying five minutes of something does better than the entirety of something else.

[@UnexpectedGamer7]

@@Mac14329 As I explained, the "entirety" of Wario Land content in Smash Bros is currently just two things: one attack and one song. Please do explain how exactly Smash Bros is doing more justice to Wario Land by only having two pieces of content from it. In contrast, this 5-minute video already provides 9 pieces of content (9 Wario Land song remixes), which is a stark contrast to, well, zero Wario Land remixes in Smash.

[@Mac14329]

@@UnexpectedGamer7 Two pieces or zero? Which one? Also, I didn’t say Smash Bros. did more justice than this. I said that the “five minutes of this better than entirety of that” is hyperbole. And also, WarioWare was always meant to be the franchise represented in Smash with Wario (down to the main costume). Wario Land was a little extra treat.

[@monkeyman767]

My old comment said "I like it". I've revised that, I fucking love this! The way the tracks blend, in with each other in ways I never even thought of. If they ever did a remake of the game, this style of music would be perfect. Edit : I also love how you time the off key beats of the Boss theme with Wario getting hit, made me laugh

[@SingingWolf77]

This brought back so many good memories. One of the best games I've ever played and loved this medley. The visual had me reminiscing and tearing up. Thank you!

[@Parrexion]

I can't be the only one who keeps coming back to this remix.

[@MarioFanOnYouTube]

God, I love this game.

[@JamesPlaysGames95]

This looks so incredible Hinchy omfg

You made my day :"D

[@Kuraimizu9152]

No esperaba ver al buen Fistroman por acá....

[@tahamohammad8842]

Mmmmmmmmmmmm....sounds good. In all honesty I love this game and you perfectly recreated what I loved about the soundtrack while adding a nice spin on these lovely songs. It has that perfect thing with a lot of remixes where you can definitely enjoy the original song however it stands on its own with what seems to be a much bouncier vibe. Nice job!

[@thebotector7494]

This is very good

[@lycidasxwerewolf]

Omg I love this!

[@andrewcastellucci3577]

[@SteelandSouls]

The way the medley is set up, I could almost hear a Duane and Brando cover of it

[@Zorous]

Love it! Very nice medley

[@rileygoddard7181]

Oh goodness, the nostalgia wave...

[@NerdKirby]

Wow, for your first medley, it was really good! The visuals are great too. Well done, Hinchy!

[@josiahschiewe9618]

I somehow did not like Wario Land 3 the first time I played it. I have since atoned for my sins by collecting every single treasure in it. Haven't had a chance to find all the music coins yet, but it's on my bucket list.

[@Harmony-Friends]

As much as I love this game, it took me till this past year to collect all the music coins myself!

[@Mike14264]

Dang it, the music box at the start made me tear up.

[@yami7017]

4:23 goosebump I'm crying right now. I miss this game I miss my old gameboy color.😢 It was taken from me I don't know where it is now the same color as this one violet. Thank you for bringing my childhood awesome. This game started me as a Gamer.Game is Life

[@Rubberman202]

EXCELLENT!

[@FloatingSunfish]

Still my favorite Wario Land game after all these years. 🧅👌

[@AWISECROW]

Excellent. Lots of great tunes in this game!

[@ZeroEscape2074]

1:56 wtf that transition into the mini golf theme is fucking sweet as hell

[@techgamingxd2312]

Shut up

[@MarioNintendoh]

10/10!

[@orsonzedd]

Wario: Treasures came and went but I always kept the music box, however no matter how many times I played it or stared longingly into it, it never once brought me back. Sometimes I would think I had dreamt it all

[@RamblePrism]

YES

[@sfBluePan]

A Wario fan from Taiwan love this.

[@flying_free]

Nicely done!

[@ProperDev]

Most underrated game, and underrated soundtrack. Good god you gave me chills, this is amazing!

[@yosher]

Found you guys just now after needing to look into who made the big beat radio, as that’s been a favorite of mine for a couple years now. With WL3 being on NSO now, I actually can appreciate just how good this is!

[@thunderbro7]

Very a-nice

[@jfeathe1211]

Absolutely incredible in every way. This is a masterpiece.

[@gaspardsavoureux8680]

Finally got around to beating this game 100% after giving up on it years ago because I was too dumb to figure out all the puzzles! Now to get all the music coins! Thanks for going out of your way to make such a good medley for such an underappreciated gem of a game :)

[@gaspardsavoureux8680]

as it turns out I did NOT get all the music coins 2 years ago, but this year I did!

[@Thebluedud]

Hey, just wanted to say Awesome Medley! Currently playing through this game for the very first time and loving it!

[@xCheckMate]

Very nice! Jesus loves you ^^

[@picomico7000]

This medley is a banger. The game is what I had in my childhood. I really love how you incorporate the other songs into one. It makes the overall song itself really worth listening. Great job! I hope I'm not bothering you, but if it's possible and if you're able to get in contact, may I have permission to use your medley track? I needed to use that track, because I'm planning on making a level that is based on Wario Land 3 itself, which will be more modern looking. The planned level is for a big Mario fangame called Mushroom Kingdom Fusion. I'm one of the developers as well as a level designer for said Mario fangame and it would be an honor to use your music for the level to show your talent. Don't worry, I will give you credit and make sure to let you know. I'd give you more details about what specific level from Wario Land 3 will be in MKF in comments, but it's classified because reasons. It's best if I discuss it with you in private if only there's any other ways I can contact you. If you can, please let me know. I'd like to discuss the details with you. Thank you and have a great day!
