Review Wario Land II (3DS eShop / Game Boy)

Greed is good
After the success of the first Wario Land, Nintendo decided to take another shot at putting its beloved new anti-hero in the spotlight. To differentiate it from Mario even further, it removed the "Super Mario Land" prefix and also made a massive gameplay change for Wario Land II. But is it one for the better?

Wario slept soundly every night, knowing his precious treasure was safely locked away... That was until the Black Sugar Gang broke in and pinched the lot!

Help Wario recover his riches in this classic, comical platformer. Wario can't be hurt, but certain enemy attacks will have weird effects on his body, transforming him into new guises such as flaming Hot Wario or Zombie Wario – each with unique abilities.

Solve puzzles, play minigames, and look for hidden exits that lead to more treasure and even different game endings.
