"Wario at his best."

Oh! Boo-hoo! I'm crying because Wario Land II is just so beautiful! Out of all the Wario series, Wario Land II was the best, no doubt. I got this game about three years ago, and I'm still playing it today! Everything in this game is excellent! I wonder if Mario could really come up with something like this! Now onto my review:

Story: Oh no! Wario's castle has been invaded by Black Sugar Pirate Gooms who have stolen his treasure!! This isn't good! As Wario, you must help him get his treasure back from those hooligans, and gather all those gold coins!

Gameplay: Track down the Pirate Gooms and get Wario's treasure back. A very good point is that Wario is immortal! That means Wario can't get hurt! You can take multiple paths along the way. Some may make your game shorter or longer. Also keep an eye out for Wario's favorite things: Coins!!! Get them by killing enemies and bashing blocks! Sometimes Wario can face his reactions which are pretty useful, like setting himself on fire, and turning into a spring. You can also play the mini-games to earn extra treasures and map pieces that lead to Syrup's hideout!

Controls: The Controls in this game are really easy. Except for the super-throw. It took me about year to get it right (Hold B for about second in case you don't know).

Graphics: Excellent graphics. I like it when Wario kills an enemy with his charge attack, and how Captain Syrup gets destroyed at the end of the game.

Audio: The music is great! The sound is also fabulous. I like when the music plays once a level is completed.

Fun: This game is very, very fun! Especially considering that it was one of the first games ever to be released on Game Boy Color.

Replay: This game has a lot of replay ability, and when you complete all 50 levels, then you can play ''The Really Final Chapter.'' I love that level. After you complete ''The Really Final Chapter'' you just need to see what happens if you collect more than 99,999 coins.

Game Score: 10
This is Wario's greatest game ever! I wish it lasted longer. I'm one of your biggest fans, Wario! Listen to me! I can't wait until you come out with a Wario Land 5!!
