this game has no fucking respect for your time at all

[Anonymous No.5454738]

Agreed. Too many cheapshot ambushes which are hard to avoid - even after you know they're coming - which will boot your ass back to practically the beginning of the stage. Also relies a bit too much on backtracking, and not in the fun way either. I guess I still overall enjoy it, but it's the weakest of the series IMO. It's like 5.5/10 for me.

The only good retro Wario platformer.

It is really annoying when you get a split path and you take one and find yourself at a chest and have to go all the way back to find a key.

that's exactly it. it sucks because a metroivania wario land game is a great idea on paper.

I watched that one on youtube and I'm glad that this never made it to GB and GBC.
At its core it's too much like a normal Mario platformer. It put me off because there was nothing unique about it that made it Wario gameplay. Since WL2 Wario is a puzzle platformer and a reverse Kirby game.

it's literally the first wario land but better

Can you elaborate?

Pacing of it was garbage unfortunately and not having all those abilities was dumb since they were in 2 plus it makes no sense anyways. Its not like he has a suit to make it believable like in Metroid. For whatever reason he just forgot how to do the butt pound move? Its very dumb.

Had those things been fixed though would be the best Wario game. The levels, gameplay and music are all great. Probably could even get remade but with more logical game design in mind this time.

WL3 is the only Wario Land game that I never bothered to finish. I stopped like 3 levels in because playing as a gimped version compared to WL2's moveset at the start pissed me off a lot and it just wasn't fun to play.

well, take a wide guess. you get hit by enemies and transform for a short period of time. there are blocks (throwing, fire), heights and crevices that you can only surmount if you're not Wario in his normal form. with Wario it's just more cartoony and silly becoming like Kirby involuntarily. Especially if you look at obese, vampire and zombie Wario. it's all based around his invincible feature which is interesting to begin with.

I see everyone already agrees but compared to WL2, WL3 has these issues
>Losing all your basic moves so you can learn them over the course of the game even though in WL2 you have them from the very start
>Grinding the same level multiple times
>Bad pacing in levels (too much slow puzzle stuff, not enough action)
>Nearly no secret areas found by breaking a wall
>That fucking golf minigame with zero variety that you need to complete in many levels
>Money is fucking worthless and only used to play the golf game
>No multiple endings

The only positive I can think of is the map which is pretty nice looking compared to WL2's which is very functional but a bare minimum effort.

These are retarded complaints when wl3 isn't even the same kind of game as wl2.

Wl3 focuses on powerups to assist game structure, backtracking because it's a metroidvania and puzzles because it's not the same brand of action platformer as wl2 and 2.
You people come off as massive fucking casuals without the attention span to complete anything other than a linear game.

WL4 gets knocked for making you backtrack to the start of every level after flipping the frog switch, however it gets props for making Wario mortal again, which was a pretty stupid gimmick.

The best Wario, sadly, is not retro.

Not a bad game, but goddamn I'm still fucking salty all these years later that Nintendo charged a full 50 dollars for EIGHT LEVELS.

I'm going to assume they've played a metroidvania before. Guess how you come off, by the way?

Confirmed for never having played either Wario Land 2 or WL3.

Just because you can't die doesn't mean there's no challenge. There's plenty of platforming that needs to be done and if you, for example, fall off a platform, you need to redo the section. I mean yeah, I didn't lose a life, but I need to climb back up to the section and try again whether or not I died, you know?
