** Should ''VideoGame/WarioWorld'' and ''VideoGame/WarioMasterOfDisguise'' be considered as part of the ''Wario Land'' franchise or just individual games? Many fans tend to put the two under the ''Wario Land'' series given they're both platformers that share many elements with the rest of the ''Wario Land'' series and Nintendo has officially placed them under the ''Wario Land'' series. However many fans just prefer to see them as individual games instead due to neither sharing the ''Wario Land'' name and their very different approaches in gameplay and mechanics from the ''Wario Land'' series such as the more combat oriented gameplay in ''Wario World'' and the bigger focus on touch controls and minigames in ''Master of Disguise''.

* CommonKnowledge: Many discussions of the ''Wario Land'' series, especially in regards to ''VideoGame/PizzaTower'' being a NotSoCheapImitation of it, talk about the entire series as high-octane action games with an emphasis on keeping up your momentum, a description that doesn't even apply to half of the main ''Wario Land'' games. In fact, ''4'' is the closest to fitting the description of what makes a ''Wario Land'' game, and it doesn't even have every element, such as Wario's immortality.

** Whether the Metroidvania approach of ''3'' or the more linear approach of the other games in the series is better. Some think the progression and execution of ''3'' is not as good as the other games in the series, while others think ''3'' is an overall improvement over ''II'' and the best game in the series.

* ContestedSequel:
** Though still considered a good game, ''VideoGame/WarioLand4'' is more divisive than the titles before it. This is mainly because it makes Wario able to be killed again, there are fewer transformations he can go into (with the available transformations having lost their iconic pieces of music from ''II'' and ''3''), it makes every level a time-trial mission to escape before it explodes, it becomes mandatory to find every single treasure to beat the game, the level designs go back to the more linear ones of the first two games, and it has a much shorter length than the previous titles.
** Every game since ''Wario Land 4'' is even more contested. Which one is the 'true' sequel to the previous games? Well, you’ll get a lot of different answers to that question, as each has different gameplay mechanics and game design. Do you prefer the 3D beat-em-up/platformer hybrid approach of ''VideoGame/WarioWorld'', the stylus-oriented gameplay of ''VideoGame/WarioMasterOfDisguise'', or the more return-to-form 2D platforming of ''VideoGame/WarioLandShakeIt''? As for whether any of them are even good games... that’s pretty debated as well. ''Wario Land: Shake It!'' gets flak for being too much like ''Wario Land 4'' except with less new ideas in it, ''Wario World'' has a very mixed critical reception in general, and ''Wario: Master of Disguise'' is seen by quite a few fans and critics as [[{{Sequelitis}} just plain bad]]. You can see this by the Metacritic scores of each game:
*** ''Wario Land 4'': 88
*** ''Wario World'': 71

* GameBreaker:
** In the original ''Wario Land'', the Jet Pot allowed Wario to fly a certain distance by pressing B in mid-air. Wario keeps flying for a fixed distance (at which point it will fly downwards like landing) or until the player presses B again. But, double-tapping the B button caused Wario to reset his flight distance in midair, allowing him to fly as far as pleased.
** The 10 Gold Coin drawn by pressing Up+B. Besides throwing it around, any enemy touching it while you held it would be knocked out. This is the same that would happen if you were holding another enemy, only that the coin would not be knocked out of your hands afterwards, so you had an impenetrable shield over your head.

* FirstInstallmentWins: From a commercial standpoint. Though its sequels -- particularly the first two -- were and are generally more popular with players, the first game outperformed its successors ''hugely'' in the number of copies sold. To give an idea of the gulf, the first ''Wario Land'' sold over 5 million copies worldwide while the next highest-selling ''Wario'' game, ''VideoGame/WarioWareTouched'', sold 2.47 million units.
* GoodBadBugs: With some tricky D-pad input, some levels from ''Wario Land 1'' can be skipped on the overworld map, as many {{Main/SpeedRun}}s can demonstrate.

* BadassDecay: In the first two games, Syrup's modus operandi was to attack Wario, rob him, blow stuff up, or some combination of all three. In ''Shake It!'', [[spoiler:it's to flirt with him and then steal his gold when his back is turned.]]

** The base is split down the middle on whether making Wario invincible in ''2'' and ''3'' was a good move or not. Either it makes the game more creative or [[ItsEasySoItSucks too easy]]. Naturally, this popped up again when ''4'' undid that change.
** Whether the Metroidvania approach of ''3'' or the more linear approach of the other games in the series is better. Some think the progression and execution of ''3'' is not as good as the other games in the series, while others think ''3'' is an overall improvement over ''2'' and the best game in the series.

** The games have never given Captain Syrup's first name, but everyone assumes it's [[PunnyName Maple]]. It does have WordOfDante on its side, though, having been used in a Famitsu article.
** Several fans don't just consider the town from chapter 4 of ''Wario Land 2'' and the city shown in the beginning of ''Wario Land 4'' to be one city, but they also consider the one city in question to be Diamond City from the ''[=WarioWare=]'' series as a way to connect the two franchises together.

** In the original ''Wario Land'', the Jet Helmet allowed Wario to fly a certain distance by pressing B in mid-air. Wario keeps flying for a fixed distance (at which point it will fly downwards like landing) or until the player presses B again. But, double-tapping the B button caused Wario to reset his flight distance in midair, allowing him to fly as far as pleased.
** The 10-coin drawn by pressing Up+B. Besides throwing it around, any enemy touching it while you held it would be knocked out. This is the same that would happen if you were holding another enemy, only that the coin would not be knocked out of your hands afterwards, so you had an impenetrable shield over your head.
