* CanonDiscontinuity: Besides the fact that the next game after this is titled ''VideoGame/WarioLandII'', ignoring this game entirely, the defunct ''VideoGame/WarioWorld'' website heavily suggests that it has fallen into this status, as the history of Wario section (which goes through the history of Wario and the Wario series) on the website completely omits it. The Super Mario UK Twitter account also doesn't acknowledge it either during its Wario retrospective, even though the other ''Land'' games were. Given [[UsefulNotes/VirtualBoy the system]] it is on and how Nintendo [[CreatorBacklash feels about it]][[invoked]], this is not a surprise.

* ContinuingIsPainful: GameOver, and you lose all your treasure.

to:

* ContinuingIsPainful: Get a GameOver, and you lose all of your treasure.treasure. There's no world map or level select where you can just backtrack as levels are on level-by-level progression. Which means you basically have to ride the elevators back into previous stages and trudge your way all the way back ''through the levels'' themselves to recover the treasures, and that makes matters even worse because one of the best endings requires finishing the game under a certain time limit (Real-Time, not game time). If you get a game over while having a lot of progress, you're pretty much better off cutting your losses and restarting ''the entire game''.

Added DiffLines:

* MutuallyExclusivePowerUps: The Garlic bottle is the only power up that turns Wario back to his normal form if he is small. The Garlic Bottle is also used to power up Wario into Bull Wario. The Viking Helmet (Bull), Eagle Statue(Eagle), and Dragon Crystal (Sea Dragon) are only used to access their forms, but the Eagle and Sea Dragon powers can be combined to access the King Dragon form, which doesn't have its own power up.

* HatOfPower: The Power-Up Hat mechanics from the first game are back. The Bull Helmet grants Wario [[SuperStrength a stronger shoulder barge]] and the ability to [[GroundPound smash the floor to stun enemies and destroy blocks below him]], the Eagle Helmet lets him [[VideoGameFlight fly long horizontal distances]] (like the Jet Helmet from ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3''), the Sea Dragon Helmet lets him [[FireBreathingWeapon shoot out powerful streams of fire from its nostrils]], and the King Dragon Helmet gives him [[AllYourPowersCombined the abilities of both the Sea Dragon and Eagle Helmets]].

* MoneyMultiplier: At the end of each level there is a game where you can risk your coins to multiply them by choosing the correct bucket holding money bags: how much it's multiplied depends on how many buckets you want to choose from. Getting triple the coins means picking correctly from two buckets above you, getting six times the coins means picking correctly from three buckets, and the big ten times the coins means you must pick correctly from FOUR buckets! A wrong guess halves your coins, so if you choose wrongly three times you leave with an eighth of what you came in with! But if you get '''three consecutive correct picks,''' you could leave with anywhere from twenty-seven times the coins (for three triple-coin games) or up to ONE THOUSAND times the coins (for picking the right bucket out of four each of three ten-times-coin games)!
