Wario World: JPN Version - Final Boss: Black Jewel [1080p]

No, they didn't cut this out of the NTSC/PAL versions of the game. The going theory is that since the JPN version was released later, it had more dev time, so they included bug fixes and amped-up the final boss. This boss also includes the E3 music used in the Wario World trailer.
Since I couldn't find any 1080p footage of the Japanese version's final boss of Wario World, I took it upon myself to record some. It has 4:3 aspect ratio to retain that GCN charm.
EDIT: Don't harass each other in the comments; I may have edited the description a few weeks after I initially uploaded this video, so some comments might have be submitted on original release.
Also, my skills are severely lacking somewhat, this is really only my third time fighting this boss.

I love the idea of Wario being the Hero nobody really wants but surprisingly the one we desperately need

[@kcamouse7300]

Well Mario Is A "Phycopath" So It Makes Sence.

[@dougharris6508]

I love how they changed this fight, and it fits Wario to the letter. Phase 1: I am high and mighty, and you shall tremble before me. Phase 2: drops the act and just goes in rough with fisticuffs

[@BaconMaken]

This is a MUCH better boss battle. The second phase is actually a fight. Attacks are flying back and forth between Wario and the Black Jewel. The music is upbeat and intense in true beat 'em up game fashion. I would have loved to actually punch that smug Jewel in the eye when I was a kid. Nintendo, bring the FULL game onto the Switch!

[@jaygooese4242]

Pretty epic

[@GlitchanBlack]

Sadly it's not going to happen because America doesn't have a good reputation with Nintendo for a lot of reasons... mostly involving Melee & Mother 3.

[@MorphBaller388]

@@GlitchanBlack What are you talking about? Nintendo has headquarters in America and has a huge market here. They always have.

[@warnegoodman]

I like how there's a bell sound effect when phase 2 starts, like the start of a wrestling match.

[@spidey5558]

There's also one when it dies.

[@arielglr7177]

I liked how you finished the boss with style instead of using faster options

[@InfiniteFoes]

This goes from "Standing up against the tyrant" to "Head-to-head showdown".

[@jeremyknight9980]

Originally I thought they cut this version out of the US/PAL versions but now that I know this came out 11 months later it's just like what they did for the PAL version of Luigi's Mansion with Boolossus and the Hidden Mansion.

[@SpectralSlugger]

what'd they do with luigi's mansion?

[@jeremyknight9980]

@@SpectralSlugger In the PAL version of the Hidden Mansion the entire mansion is mirrored. more ghosts appear around the mansion and more powerful ghosts appear earlier than they do in the normal mansion. bosses are more difficult and have new attacks such as Chauncy's rocky horses being bigger and swurving left to right instead of a straight line, Chauncy moves a lot faster. the Boolossus fight is more difficult because the Balcony floor is made of ice and Luigi has to ride on the Poltergust (which explains why it has wheels) trying to pop Boolossus. hearts are hard to find and you can only get big hearts from the graveyard. Boos are more agile and difficult to catch, some have more HP while others are the same. However if a Boo has low HP they are very fast and can leave the room in seconds. Speedy Spirits and Gold Mice always drop a Blue Diamond when caught. The Pal Hidden Mansion is the only way to get the Rank A mansion.

[@Pikmin442]

if they ever do a remake on switch i hope they either let you choose which version you want to play or just add the second phase

[@lucasfraczek4320]

It'd be smarter to just add the second phase.

[@mrkicks7817]

I think they would just add the second phase with no option to turn it off.

[@sammalone7881]

Why would anyone want the bad version?

[@michaelr3077]

On a second look i noticed the texture changes to glass cracks as you punch it to visualize how much damage its taken before its stunned to grab. neat detail.

[@ArjunTheRageGuy]

If this game had another version of it, it must have like a hard mode, where it includes the Final Boss's Phase 2 with more Spritelings on that boss. Not only that, but also make the enemies and other bosses challenging, maybe the bosses having another phase, if some players wants to play with more skill.

[@shadowbladezorru2748]

This second phase makes this the best final boss a 3d wario game could ever ask for.

[@Vivvyboy]

Dude, the 2nd phase is soooooooooooooo good, like whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[@Max-iq8hi]

If only this boss fight was also updated in Europe and America, and not just Japan back then...

[@drdespair3651]

Anyone want a remaster of this to be announced at E3 this year?

[@anueutsuho7425]

At least a Switch port would be nice. The Gamecube games get forgotten way too much.

[@jongameaddict]

They seriously cut a phase out of the US version? As if it wasn't already too repetitive even with it? Jeez.

[@kingslayerwwe379]

Cause they think Americans need easier versions of games

[@jongameaddict]

Not the first nor last time Nintendo does stupid stuff to America and nobody else.

[@CarbyGuuGuu]

It was due to Nintendo rushing the game for Western release, Treasure wanted to add more content which become evident in the Japanese release having come out a few months later.

While I nevered played Wario World, it looks like an interesting game and the boss look fun as well. Seeing this, makes me wish that this would be included in a (possible) remaster of Wario World. Alsso this might be me, but who also thinks that it would be cool if the Black Jew turn into a robot form in the second phase? Cause I think that would be pretty neat.
