History VideoGame / WarioWorld

* ConsoleCameo: The last treasure in the second level of each world is a Nintendo console. The consoles Wario can find are a UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem, a UsefulNotes/Nintendo64, a UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance, and a UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube.

''Wario World'' is a 3D [[PlatformGame platforming game]] for the UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube starring VideoGame/{{Wario}}. It was developed by Creator/{{Treasure}}[[note]]rather fittingly, if we might add[[/note]], published by Creator/{{Nintendo}}, and released in 2003. Although ''Wario World'' is technically not an entry in the ''VideoGame/WarioLand'' series, its plot (and gameplay, to a lesser extent) has the same fuel: Wario's endless {{greed}}.

* UndergroundMonkey: The recurring enemies of the game look different depending on the level and get faster and faster as the levels go on. For example, the first two levels have Magons, which are orange, bipedal, dragon-like monsters. In Horror Manor, they are replaced with skeletal versions of themselves. In Wonky Circus, they are clowns. In Shivering Mountains, they are snowmen. This is done with every enemy introduced in the first level with Ankiron variants having different effects as Stuffed ones fire multiple bombs at once and Rhino and Mummy ones fire flaming bombs with the former being able to fire flaming bombs if Wario attacks it while it's hiding in its shell.
* UniqueEnemy: Every level except for Greenhorn Forest has at least one enemy that is unique to it. In addition, the strategy guides (in English and Japanese) give each variants their own names such as calling the Circus enemies Small Clown (Small Magon), Clown (Big Magon), Gatorbaby (Clubosaur), Pigeon (Cractyl) and Circus Ankiron.

* OddballInTheSeries: Assuming we count each of the platformers as part of the ''VideoGame/WarioLand'' series then this is the only one to be a (=3D=) platformer with less focus on exploration and more on combat as was the standard format of most (=3D=) platformers at the time.

!!'''This game provides examples of:'''
* {{Acrofatic}}: Wario, even more so in this game than the ''VideoGame/WarioLand series.'' Not only can he run faster and jump higher than a person of his girth should be able to, he can perform acrobatic aerial flips and [[WrestlerInAllOfUs wrestling moves]].

* AlwaysNight: The skies of Horror Manor are perpetually cloaked in the darkness of night. Given [[HauntedHouse what it]] [[BigBoosHaunt is]] of course, it only makes sense.

* CowardlyBoss: The Mean Emcee. He spends most of the BossBattle hiding from Wario using a trick that resembles a shell-game, requiring Wario to find him before he can hit him.

* DemBones: Most of the enemies in Horror Manor are skeletal versions of the enemies from the first two levels. Captain Skull also counts.

* {{Expy}}: Red Brief J is basically the Minotaur from Super Mario Land III: Warioland. Bovine themed boss that Wario can't hurt unless he makes it come into contact with lava?

* GroundPound: One of Wario's attacks, where he does a frontflip in midair before barreling downwards. This can be used to hit below him and open weak trap doors.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: Wario can pick up enemies and use them as weapons to kill other enemies.

** The Icicle Mites in Shivering Mountains. Wario can be piledrive them into the ground and use them as stepping stones to jump to higher places. They don't even attack.

* InescapableAmbush: This happens with some of the {{miniboss}}es, such as the Crystal Entities, Angler Manglers, and Terrible Portraits.

* MookMaker: Many levels have weird white and blue bulbs that constantly spawn monsters.

* NonindicativeName:

* ObviouslyEvil: The Black Jewel. Seriously, who in their right mind would steal that thing? [[AskAStupidQuestion ...Aside from]] [[{{Greed}} Wario?]]

* OurMonstersAreWeird: The game's enemies (particularly the bosses) are rather bizarre, and not quite like anything seen before or since in the Wario or Mario series.

* {{Prehistoria}}: Greenhorn Forest has shades of this. Its enemies are dinosaurs, and the boss arena has T-Rex skeletons surrounding it.

* ArtifactMook: The Barrel Busters, snowman enemies in barrels that spawn during the Angler Mangler fights. This makes sense, since these fights take place in Shivering Mountains, a snow level. However, they inexplicably reappear in Mirror Mansion just so they can be used against the Terrible Portraits. However, closer inspection reveals that these use different textures that make them look like they're made of cloth instead of snow, making them fit with the puppet theme of the rest of the level.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Dino-Mighty. She's a giant DumbBlonde dinosaur, who attacks with butt-slams and belly-flops... and wears what looks very much like a ''sparkling red bikini''.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: One of Wario's attacks involves grabbing a stunned enemy and giving them a giant swing. This method is also used to activate some switches. Wario also incorporates spinning into his jumping piledriver.

* BrickJoke: One spanning between ''VideoGame/WarioLand4'' and this game, [[AllThereInTheManual but only within the manuals]]. ''4'' has Wario going over his day, starting with a cockroach crawling up his nose, and keeping him up at night as it crawls around his brain. In the manual for ''World'', Wario talks about parts of his body, including an x-ray. While he doesn't pay any attention to it there, the x-ray shows the same roach crawling around his brain.

%%* AlliterativeName: Several of the bosses, enemies, and items.

%%* AlwaysNight: Horror Manor.

%%* FoeTossingCharge: Wario's dash attack.

%%* ItemGet: Occurs whenever Wario gets one of the boss keys.

%%* TheLostWoods: Greenhorn Forest.

%%* MercyInvincibility

%%* PreAsskickingOneLiner: "I'm-a number one!"

%%* RatedMForManly: A more... [[WidgetSeries surreal]] example.

-->-- One of Wario's several in-game [[PreAsskickingOneLiner taunts]] from ''Wario World''

%%* AntiHero: Wario just wants the evil Black Jewel dead because it destroyed his castle and stole his treasure. The whole "saving the Spritelings" part is just a nice bonus.

* ConsoleCameo: The last treasure in the second level of each world is a Nintendo console. The consoles Wario can find are a NES, a Nintendo 64, a Game Boy Advance, and a [=GameCube=].

%%* GroundPound: One of Wario's attacks.

%%* PlotCoupon: The red diamonds, as well as the boss keys.

%%* PreMortemOneLiner: "Have a rotten day!" and "GET OUTTA HERE!", when throwing an enemy.

* RegionalBonus: The Japanese version adds a second form to the otherwise-easy final boss. The music also changes to a NearVictoryFanfare.

* SpringJump: There are bunny-shaped springs Wario can bounce off of by {{Ground Pound}}ing.

%%* TrrrillingRrrs: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrvqz3zupTo Have a rrrotten day!]]

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Two of Wario's moves incorporating spinning; a giant swing that can be used to knock other enemies away, and a jumping spinning piledriver.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: One of Wario's attacks involves grabbing a stunned enemy and spinning round and round. This method is also used to activate some switches.

%%* ALoadOfBull: Red-Brief J.

* MachoCamp: Red-Brief J. What more could be said about a [[ALoadOfBull musclebound anthropomorphic bull]] that walks around in a bright red speedo?

[[caption-width-right:256:Hey! Don't look! This is my treasure! MINE!]]

%%* BadassMustache: Again, Wario.

* ShiftingSandLand: Pecan Sands, a desert level centered around a large pyramid. In addition to featuring {{mummy}} versions of the usual recurring mooks, it also has scorpion-like enemies that burrow in the sand, hostile stone statues, sandfalls, and a sand slide.

* DualBoss: Dual Dragon, a two-headed dragon. Each head attacks separately, but they share the same health meter.
