| 1 | * FandomLifeCycle: Along with its related series ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' and the other ''Wario'' games, the ''Wario Land'' series is probably one of the few Nintendo franchises to sell more than a million copies and yet, not go beyond phase 1 or 2 on the list, with the fandom being a disjointed cult following at best. |
| 2 | * FranchiseKiller: Despite critical praise, the low sales of ''VideoGame/WarioLandShakeIt'' has seemingly prevented the series from getting another game since then, with ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' quickly taking over as the prominent ''Wario'' franchise whenever Wario gets any series representation most of the time, such as ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker''. |
| 3 | * MarthDebutedInSmashBros: Dr. Arewo Shitain from the [[NoExportForYou Japan-exclusive]] Platform/GameBoy game ''VideoGame/ForTheFrogTheBellTolls'' makes several appearances in ''Wario Land 3'' (referred to as "Mad Scienstein") and ''4''. |
| 4 | * SerendipityWritesThePlot: The archaic CPU and blurry, low-resolution monochromatic screen of the Platform/GameBoy were ill-suited to the fast-paced precision platforming that made the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series famous. After two [[VideoGame/SuperMarioLand valiant]] [[VideoGame/SuperMarioLand2SixGoldenCoins attempts]] to rework the ''Mario'' formula for the Game Boy, Nintendo R&D1 gave the ''Wario Land'' a slower pace and gameplay based more on exploration than precision platforming to work within the Game Boy's limitations. |
| 5 | * WordOfDante: While it's never been mentioned in the games, ''Famitsu'' magazine referred to Captain Syrup as "Maple" in a ''Shake'' preview, implying that her full name is [[PunnyName Maple Syrup]]. |
