Comment
I once saw a picture of wario standing on the 'tree / birds nest' next to the syrup castle. I think this isn't disclosed anywhere.
 * I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Are you saying you've seen a picture of a scene that doesn't actually occur in the game? If so, where is it? -Jacquismo 15:55, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Success and sequels
Am I the only one who thinks the "Success and sequels" section is POV?

Cheats
I feel like this section should be taken out, or at least edited down a bit. I don't mind keeping details of what cheat does, but the way to access it isn't necessary. Wikipedia isn't GameFAQs. Comments? -Jacquismo 15:53, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

SML2 connection
Does anyone know if this game is based off SML2's engine? --71.220.27.249 19:38, 10 February 2007 (UTC) I know, and no it isn't. I can't remember the other engine it was based off (read a very rare internal book regarding it) but it was certainly used in 4 other GB games- the other 2 being the sequels. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.138.91 (talk) 18:23, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Super Mario Land 3
The whole "Despite the Super Mario Land 3 subtitle, Mario has very little to do with this installment in the series." is mentioned like 3 times just in the first few sections. Can anyone think of a way to work around this? --Jopasopa 20:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

bbbbbbbooooooooooog..............stuff
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 is a platforming video game developed by Nintendo on the Game Boy in 1994 (even though it was copyrighted in 1993). It is the first video game to feature Wario as both a playable character and the main character, as well as the first appearance of Captain Syrup and her Brown Sugar Pirates, recurring villains in the Wario Land series. Despite the Super Mario Land 3 subtitle, Mario has very little to do with this installment in the series, but it is still considered a part of the Super Mario series of games. Contents [hide]

* 1 Game overview * 2 Gameplay * 3 Success and sequels * 4 External links

[edit] Game overview

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 starts at the end of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Wario Land features a theme of greed remarkably different from almost all of Nintendo's other franchises: It is the first game Nintendo has made where the main character's cause is decidedly selfish. There are no princesses to save, no world in peril. There is only one goal: for Wario to earn as much money as possible, in an effort to buy his own massive castle and make Mario jealous. The larger the cash total Wario has collected at the end of the game, the better house (and ending) that Wario will receive.

The Super Mario Land 3 subtitle links the game with the popular Super Mario Land 2. The game also increases its replay value by including a large hidden treasure chest in some levels. The chests (which can only be accessed by finding a special key placed elsewhere in the level) contain special one-of-a-kind treasures, which would each add a considerable amount to Wario's coin total at the end of the game. [edit] Gameplay Screenshot on the original Game Boy of Wario with the Bull Cap power-up

Despite being billed as Super Mario Land 3, Wario Land bears little resemblance to its predecessors. Wario Land borrows the system of themed Worlds from Super Mario Land 2 (though this time, the game does not restrict secret levels to be re-entered via secret entrances nor disables any cleared level), but arranges them in a linear route; this allows the game to feature a difficulty curve absent from its non-linear predecessor.

Wario's basic movements in this game reflect the considerable difference that he has from Mario. The most notable difference in gameplay is that Wario (being much tougher than any of the characters on Kitchen Island) doesn't take damage from merely touching an enemy; if he bumps against a foe, he instead will knock it over and be able to carry it. Most enemies wield a weapon; if Wario wants to knock these enemies over, he will have to bump into them from a safe side, not touching their weapon.

Movement is also noticeably different from prior Super Mario Land installments. Whereas Mario's jumps are light and precise, Wario's moves are more brutal and blunt. For example, Wario carries over his shoulder-charging body slam move from the prior game, wherein he smashes any nearby enemy clear off the playing field. Wario is also able to crouch, and slowly crawl in a crouching position. He can also jump while crouching, to reach small gaps above the ground. If Wario has at least 10 coins in his possession, he can pull a large coin from his pocket, and use it as a thrown weapon. Doing this costs 10 coins, but Wario can pick up the coin after throwing it.

In addition to his basic move list, the game features a variety of caps that act as powerups for Wario, giving him new abilities. In his "normal" form, he wears a pith helmet. The Jet Cap makes Wario almost twice as fast as usual and allows him to fly for short distances. The Dragon Cap shoots flames from its nose (and shoots a limited beam underwater). Finally, there is a Bull Cap that gives Wario even greater strength, a longer shoulder charge distance, the ability to hang on to the ceiling with the horns, and the ability to do a "butt stomp," which can smash blocks with his weight and shake buried objects out of the ground. Also, Wario can collect a Starman that makes Wario immune to damage from enemies. When Wario takes damage, he shrinks in size, does not wear a hat, and can't do his body slam move. If Wario takes damage while he is small, he'll lose a life. [edit] Success and sequels

Wario Land was an attempt to expand the appearance of Wario in Super Mario Land 2 to a starring role and also to expand the Mario universe and which was successful. Wario Land spawned seven popular sequels: VB Wario Land, Wario Land II, Wario Land 3, Wario Land 4, Wario World, Wario: Master of Disguise, and Wario Land: The Shake Dimension. [edit] External links

Release date
Every source seems to have different info. Most of them wouldn't qualify as RS anyways.
 * January 21, 1994 (JP) // February 7, 1994 (NA) // May 13, 1994 (EU)
 * US: March 13, 1993 // Japan: January 21, 1994
 * 1/21/94 JP -- February 1994	 US -- 05/13/94 EU
 * JP 21st January 1994 // US February 1994 // EU 28th April 1994

The JP release date looks consisttend, but EU and NA are conflicting. I'll change the JP one, EU might be correct, but US could maybe be changed to Feb 1994? Salvidrim (talk) 04:22, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

"Kitchen Island" redirects here
When one types "kitchen island" into the search box, the site redirects to this section.. Looks like it pointed to "Kitchen" for about a decade, then pointed to here as of end of 2018. I've never made a disambiguation page before, but I think that might be the best solution here. Ideally I'd make a stub for "kitchen island" that describes the feature in a kitchen, then provide a link to this article at the top for other uses. First n+1 google results for kitchen island are talking about counter tops, not Wario. DancesWithThermalPaste (talk) 20:56, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Game Boy Color release?
Was the game also released as a black Game Boy Color cartridge? In this post: https://www.gutefrage.net/frage/alten-game-boy-verkaufen-wieviel, you can see a Wario Land cover art on a black cartridge which is very confusing because according to the article, it was only released for the original Game Boy (grey cartridge).-- Maxeto0910 (talk) 22:55, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
