So, not only do you have to jump off a Spearhead to reach to top of a seemingly empty cliff, you also have to find a rather small hole to jump through upward to reach the platform.

The third game in the WarioLand series, released in 2000 for the GameBoyColor.
While Wario is riding in his airplane over some forest its engine randomly explodes, causing him to crash in the middle of said woods. While looking through the first cave he sees for help he finds a music box just lying about, only to be warped inside when he picks it up. There he wakes up and meets the Mysterious Figure, who tells him about how the Figure’s powers had been taken from it and put in five music boxes scattered around, promising to help Wario return to his world if he returns these music boxes to the Mysterious Figure. Wario agrees and immediately sets off in search for them.
''Wario Land 3'' borrows a lot of its gameplay from ''Wario Land II''—being impossible to kill, using enemy attacks as abilities, and sharing a lot of the normal abilities. However, Wario Land 3 takes an even less linear route: Instead of challenging you to reach the end of each level, some of which have alternate routes, ''Wario Land 3'' challenges you to find the four keys and chests of every level. However, the vast majority of chests (and levels) are inaccessible at the beginning, forcing you to collect treasures to unlock more. Thus, Wario Land 3 is less about figuring out how to beat levels and more about exploring through levels, searching for treasures you can collect.

* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Averted. The sewer underneath the town in N2 The Peaceful Village is just one room.
* AccidentalHero: Wario just wanted to leave the music box; he wasn’t planning to defeat Rudy once and for all until Rudy attacked him.
* AlwaysNight: The East until you collect the two sun fragments.
* BackgroundBoss: Rudy the Clown.
* BagOfSpilling: Somehow Wario forgot how to do a lot of abilities he had in ''Wario Land II'', such as ground pounds or even swimming.
* BalloonBelly / PopGoesTheHuman: Helio. He has an air pump inside him, and you defeat him by making him cough it up and pumping it until he pops.
* BigBad: [[spoiler: Turns out to be The Mysterious Figure himself—who is really Rudy the Clown—when you deliver the five music boxes to him.]]
* BigBoosHaunt: E3 Castle of Illusions and N2 The Peaceful Village.
* BookEnds: The final boss is fought in The Temple, the first “level” of the game.
** Also, the last music box—the last treasure before the final boss—is the last treasure of the first level.
* BossOnlyLevel: The Temple
* BubblegloopSwamp: E1 The Stagnant Swamp.
* BubblyClouds: S6 Above the Clouds
* {{Cap}}: Odd for a Wario game, Wario can only hold 999 coins.
* EldritchLocation: E5 The Warped Void
* {{Expy}}: A lot of the enemies act pretty much just like ''Wario Land II'' enemies, but look different:
** Spearhead = Pirate Goom
** Brrr Bear = Yukimaru
** Fire Robota = Flame
** Pneumo = Bee
** Doughnuteer = Cook
** Grab-bot = D-Bat
** Haridama = Sawfish
* EverythingsWorseWithBears: Brr Bears, who repeatedly push you back with their icy breath, are some of the most annoying enemies in the game.
* FridgeBrilliance: Why don’t the enemies kill Wario? [[spoiler: Because at the end they’re revealed to be townspeople turned into monsters by The Mysterious Figure who were only trying to prevent Wario from reviving him.]]
* GiantHandsOfDoom / RaymanianLimbs: [[spoiler: Rudy the Clown.]]
* GoombaSpringboard: Possible once you get the winged boot.
* GroundPound: Possible once you get the overalls.
* HatOfPower: Getting the spiked helmet allows you to break blocks with your head.
* HelpfulMook: You often need to use the enemies to get some treasures, mainly by using their attacks to get certain abilities (such as being set on fire).
* HellHotel: W4 A Town in Chaos
* HumanSnowball: An ability Wario can gain in The Frigid Sea. It can be used to break snow blocks.
* InterfaceScrew: Wario can become dizzy if hit by a pink bird in S1 The Grasslands.
* LethalLavaLand: S5 Cave of Flames. W6 The West Crater and E6 The East Crater could arguable count as well.
* LostWoods: N1 Out of the Woods and E7 Forest of Fear.
* MagicMusic: A large part of the plot is the powers held in the five music boxes, and the need to retrieve them.
* MalevolentArchitecture: Most notable E7 Forest of Fear, which is full of spikes.
* MarketBasedTitle: In Japan this game had the subtitle, “The Mysterious Music Box.”
* {{Metroidvania}}: Arguably. Although this game is divided into levels, the progression is nonlinear, often requiring you to go back to earlier levels to continue.
* {{Minigame}}: There is a minigolf game you have to beat many times to make a block move to access certain treasures.
* MonsterClown: [[spoiler: Rudy the Clown, the final boss.]]
* NighInvulnerability: No matter how much he gets hit by enemies, Wario can never die. [[spoiler: (Except for when he gets crushed by final boss Rudy the Clown’s hands.)]]
* [[spoiler: NiceJobBreakingItHero: Your goal of delivering the five music boxes to The Mysterious Figure. It turns out he’s a monster clown who took over the world and turned the townsfolk into the monsters who acted as your enemies. They were really just trying to stop you from reviving him.]]
* NoNameGiven: The final boss is only named in Dr. Mario 64.
* OneHundredPercentCompletion: Collecting all 100 treasures and all 8 music coins in every level.
* RemixedLevel: Every level. Certain treasures change a certain level’s landscape, granting access to treasures previously inaccessible.
* RespawningEnemies: By re-entering a room. Necessary to prevent a level from becoming Unwinnable without restarting.
* [[spoiler: SealedEvilInACan: At the end of the game you learn that The Mysterious Figure is this, whose power was sealed within the five music boxes. Your goal in the game is to deliver them to him after he tricked you into thinking he was good.]]
* SecretLevel: Arguably Above the Clouds, The Warped Void, and Forest of Fear, since it’s unlikely you’ll find these levels before beating the game.
* ShiftingSandLand: W1 Desert Ruins.
* ShoutOut: One of the treasures is a Pokémon Pikachu.
* SlippySlideyIceWorld: E2 The Frigid Sea.
* SpringJump: Bouncy Wario, which you become if you’re hit by a Hammer-bot or certain bosses.
* TheAmazon: W3 The Pool of Rain
* SuperNotDrowningSkills: Played with. Before you get the flippers Wario cannot go below the surface, constantly paddling above the water. When you do get them he can swim underwater fine.
* UndergroundLevel: E4 The Colossal Hole, N6 Sea Turtle Rock, W6 The West Crater, and E6 The East Crater. S5 Cave of Flames is this mixed with Lethal Lava Land.
* UnderTheSea: W5 Beneath the Waves.
* [[spoiler: UnwittingPawn: Wario. Rudy the Clown was sealed away by the power of the music boxes, which had to be used together again to release him. Wario was told instead that these would bring him back to his world.]]
* WeirdSun / TheFaceOfTheSun: Not only does it have a face, it has cognizance and can spit fireballs at Wario.
* WeirdMoon: Much like Mr. Sun, Mr. Moon is cognizant, and can spit shock balls at Wario to stun him.
* YouHaveResearchedBreathing: Apparently, Wario needs special flippers in order to swim, ground pound, or pick up enemies.
While Wario is riding in his airplane over some forest its engine randomly explodes, causing him to crash in the middle of said woods. While looking through the first cave he sees for help he finds a music box just lying about, only to be warped inside when he picks it up. There he wakes up and meets the Mysterious Figure, who tells him about how the Figure’s powers had been taken from it and put in five music boxes scattered around, promising to help Wario return to his world if he returns these music boxes to the Mysterious Figure. Wario agrees and immediately sets off in search for them.
''Wario Land 3'' borrows a lot of its gameplay from ''Wario Land II''—being impossible to kill, using enemy attacks as abilities, and sharing a lot of the normal abilities. However, Wario Land 3 takes an even less linear route: Instead of challenging you to reach the end of each level, some of which have alternate routes, ''Wario Land 3'' challenges you to find the four keys and chests of every level. However, the vast majority of chests (and levels) are inaccessible at the beginning, forcing you to collect treasures to unlock more. Thus, Wario Land 3 is less about figuring out how to beat levels and more about exploring through levels, searching for treasures you can collect.
