Wow... I've gotten so used to online animations building up to rude, crass, or mean spirited punchlines that the fact that this was legitimately just a super well made and thoughtful tribute to Wario as a character legitimately caught be unguarded. Not only do I say you did an amazing job in general but I wanna thank you for making Wario look really super cool in this, it's so rare to see outside of official media and I deeply respect and appreciate it. And thanks for the brief Mona cameo, girl deserves more attention!

[@kdaunii7070]

I love how this was more of the “macho wario” from wario land rather than the wario ware style wario shown in smash, it just allows him to cartoonishly brute force his way out so much better in my opinion

I hear the Wario Land 4 sounds. My brain releases the happy nostolgia chemicals. All is good in the world.

[@ItsRetroPlanet]

I see wario didn't feel like dying throughout this cartoon much like his games LOL

[@nightguardianx-chris]

This animation made Wario a speedrunner, brawler and platformer all at once. Plus, he killed Bowser's minions in seconds where it takes Mario longer. Imagine if sprite animators developed Wario more and he actually gets away with the treasures he steals. Loved it. Can't wait for more.

[@josemembreno3134]

Man, i miss Wario Land... such a cool, funny and satisfying game, where the usual greediness and need for rush of players is actually being rewarded in the game with Wario's wacky gameplay, where you need to collect as much shinies you can and to just rush into ennemies like a total brute force ! Your animation was perfect for just showing what makes Wario Land such a great serie : gameplay, characters and wacky world !

[@gb731]

This is absolutely incredible in every way. The art, the references, all masterful. I’m especially happy Wario actually got to succeed in the end as basically every piece of canon and fan media ends with Wario failing last minute. Excellent stuff!

[@CassiusStelar]

No, really only Shake It and Gold have him failing last minute in his own series, and in the sports spinoffs it kinda makes sense that Mario would end up beating him in the end. Every other Land and Ware game have Wario either saving the day and making bank, or at least meeting a new friend like Pyoro
