2''Wario Land: Legends of 6 Crystals'' is a ''VideoGame/WarioLand'' fangame created by [=Radel999=] (or [=HTFMegaman=]), the same person who made the ''VideoGame/HappyTreeFriendsAdventures'' series.
3
4The story begins with Wario going on a journey using his airplane, only for a rainbow-colored beam to hit him and causing him to crash land on an island. There, he's greeted by a girl named Kia, who somehow knows Wario's name. She tells him that the beam came from [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Equestria]], a place that the island residents, including Kia, absolutely loathe and despise. Kia then asks him to kill the ruler, [[BigBad Princess Celestia]], or the whole world will be destroyed by her.
5
6Yeah... that's how the plot goes. Yes, it's a CrossOver fangame just like ''VideoGame/HappyTreeFriendsAdventures''.
7
8Like the official ''VideoGame/WarioLand'' games, this game is a platformer. Wario can use a variety of attacks depending on what power-up he's equipping. He starts with "Punch", which makes him charge forward. Other power-ups allow him to either [[StuffBlowingUp throw bombs]], [[PlayingWithFire shoot fireballs]], or [[VideoGameFlight fly through the air]]. The only other "non-power-up"-based attacks are his GoombaStomp and GroundPound. Seeing that it's set in Equestria, your enemies are mostly colorful ponies, as well as some non-Equestrian oddities like [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Cheep-Cheeps and Spinies]].
9
10The game is divided into six stages, each having 4-7 courses, with the last course always ending with a boss battle. The stages can be re-visited by making use of PasswordSave.
11
12While it's mainly centered around [[VideoGame/WarioLand Wario]] and [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the residents of Equestria]], it has a few references to other franchises as well as a few guest appearances.
13
14A sequel is planned to be made, but it's currently probably stuck in DevelopmentHell along with other upcoming Dunami games.
15
16[=Radel999=] actually uploaded this game to a few sites, but some sites like Hotfile are taken down, one site doesn't seem to be trustworthy, and the one in MFGG is only the early demo version. That leaves only [=MediaFire=] as his only "perfect" place (for now, probably) to upload his projects. [[http://www.mediafire.com/download/41q83eqz7387va2/Wario+Land+Legends+of+6+Crystals+%28Full%29.zip You can download the game here.]]

18----
19!!This game provides examples of:
20* OneUp: You can only gain extra lives by picking up a "1UP heart" that flashes between different colors (regular red hearts restore health).
21* AbnormalAmmo:
22** Pinkie Pie's means of attacking you involve throwing ''gumballs''.
23** Apple Bloom throws apples when you approach her.
24* {{Acrofatic}}: It's a platformer starring Wario, so of course he has this trait.
25* AutoscrollingLevel: A few levels from this game are considered this.
26* {{Balloonacy}}: During her boss battle, Pinkie Pie is lifted by balloons, allowing her to float around her boss room.
27* BigBad: Princess Celestia is the ruler of Equestria who wants to destroy the world, so Wario must stop her.
28* BigFancyCastle: The second stage, Rarity's Hidden Castle. Celestia's castle in the last stage also counts.
29* BlandNameProduct: Like ''VideoGame/HappyTreeFriendsAdventures'', this game also comes under the "[[Creator/{{Konami}} Dunami]]" brand.
30* BlindIdiotTranslation: As mentioned in the ''VideoGame/HappyTreeFriendsAdventures'' page, [=Radel999=] is Polish and isn't really good at English language, so the many typos and grammar mistakes in this game are expected. However, some parts of the game's dialogue somehow have better grammar, spelling, and sentence structure. It is possible that somebody else wrote those specific lines, while the rest still has hilariously broken English.
31* TheCameo:
32** Derpy Hooves can be seen in certain levels at certain parts, flying fast across the bottom part of those levels. Like the other ponies, you can kill her, but it's easier said than done considering her speed and position, meaning that she'll only appear for a brief moment and you need a near-perfect timing. See the SecretLevel entry below for more info.
33** Scorpion of ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' fame, while not physically seen, has his spear thrown once you've reduced Fluttershy's health into nothing. He also yells out, "GET OVER HERE!" as he pulls the stabbed Fluttershy.
34* CaptainErsatz: The Bullet Bills and Bill Blasters are edited to make them somehow "belong" to Equestria... by removing the Bullet Bill's arms and replacing the skull on Bill Blasters with a pony head.
35* CardboardPrison: After getting trapped by Celestia in the penultimate stage, Wario is taken to a castle-like prison. When you begin that part, you can simply bust out by breaking a breakable wall on the right side of the room.
36* CrapsackWorld: What Equestria becomes after Wario [[spoiler:shattered]] the Elements of Harmony crystals. [[spoiler:It later ends up sinking into the ocean once Celestia is defeated.]] (How does it become a crapsack world?)
37* CueTheSun: The credits roll features Wario riding his now-repaired airplane as the sun rises.
38* DamselInDistress: From the introduction cutscene, Kia is taken away by Celestia just before you can begin your adventure. [[spoiler:However, it turns out that she isn't the only one to be captured by Celestia- Suzette is as well.]]
39* DashAttack: Wario's [[NonIndicativeName "Punch"]] attack allows him to run and charge through enemies.
40* DeathFromAbove:
41** Apples fall down when Applejack lands on either side of her boss room. Yes, these apples hurt Wario, and yes, these can be attacked to get rid of them.
42** Rarity's colored beams are shot downwards, as she's placed on the top of the boss room.
43* DefeatEqualsExplosion: The pony bosses explode when they are defeated.
44* DistressedDude: [[spoiler:Bowser]] is being held captive by Pinkie Pie.
45* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: Inverted according to the island residents [[spoiler:and Celestia's hostages]]. Also, colored beams hurt Wario.
46* FallingDamage:
47** Happens to Pinkie Pie if the balloons holding her are popped, which causes her to fall.
48** Two stages before Pinkie's, you have to get Rarity to fall down into a pool of lava by removing the bridge underneath her (using the switches on either side of the boss room) in order to inflict damage.
49* FlashOfPain: Whenever the boss gets hurt.
50* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Princess Celestia and the other ponies have kidnapped [[spoiler:Suzette and Bowser]] and want to destroy the world. Why they want to do this is never explained, and they never speak a word.
51* GoombaStomp: Wario can do this to most enemies.
52%%* GreenHillZone: The first stage, Apple Forest.
53%%* HeartsAreHealth
54%%* LevelAte: Candy Field, which is the fourth stage.
55%%* LevelInTheClouds: Cloudsdale, which is the fifth stage.
56* LevelsTakeFlight: The boss fight section against Rainbow Dash takes place at a dark cloudy sky where Wario is limited to flying and shooting fireballs (the latter due to the forced power-up pick up).
57* LightEmUp: Twilight Sparkle and Celestia both attack by firing shots made of light. The shots can split into two when they hit the ground.
58* LightIsNotGood: The ponies, with their light color palate, are the villains in this fangame.
59* LocomotiveLevel: The final course of Parasprite Lake takes place at the top of a train.
60* LudicrousGibs: Some of the boss characters explode into a bloody mess after being defeated.
61* MisplacedWildlife: The [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Cheep-Cheeps and Spinies]] are somehow in Equestria.
62* MusicalNod: Like other Dunami games, this game's soundtrack consists of music from other video games.
63* NintendoHard: The difficulty comes from tricky platforming in certain parts and from certain boss battles.
64* NonIndicativeName:
65** One of the stages, Parasprite Lake, has no parasprites to be seen.
66** Wario's charging attack is named "Punch".
67* OneManArmy: Even after [[spoiler:rescuing Suzette and Bowser]], Wario is still capable of taking down the entire population of Equestria all by himself.
68%%* PasswordSave
69* PlayingWithFire: Wario's "Fire" power-up allows him to shoot fireballs at a straight line. Unlike the bombs, you can fire several fireballs at a time instead of just one.
70* ScoringPoints: You gain points from picking up gems and defeating enemies.
71* SecretLevel:
72** By killing Derpy Hooves, who can only be found in certain courses at a certain part each, you'll get to access a hidden level. There are two of them, in fact. Seemed GuideDangIt-ty at first, but became AllThereInTheManual as [=Radel999=] blatantly put such hint on The Daily Click website. Both levels replace the respective franchise's enemies with ponies.:
73** The first one is simply World 1-1 of ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Super Mario Bros.]]'' Unfortunately, none of the familiar mechanics are there (hitting ? blocks, going down a pipe), even simply breaking the bricks, even though you can do the same to the ''bigger'' blocks of bricks in the main levels.
74** The second hidden level is the jungle level from ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}''.
75* ShockAndAwe: Rainbow Dash shoots small bolts of lightning during her boss battle.
76* ShoutOut:
77** The goal signs at the end of non-boss levels are similar to the ones in the early ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' games. (albeit with Wario and Celestia instead of Sonic and Robotnik/Eggman, natch)
78** In certain parts of a level, [[Franchise/MortalKombat a random guy pops out from the lower right corner of the screen and says, "Toasty!"]].
79** The MiniBoss fight against Apple Bloom is basically Bowser's boss fight in ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Super Mario Bros]]''.
80** As mentioned in the SecretLevel entry, the hidden levels are taken from ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}''.
81* TheSpiny: The Spinies from ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' appear as enemies.
82* StuffBlowingUp: Wario's "Bomb" power-up allows him to throw bombs at an arc, only one at a time. The bomb can also be bounced on Wario's head to make it travel farther.
83* SugarBowl: Equestria, of course, if you don't mind the Bowser-esque castles.
84* {{Unwinnable}}: If your computer isn't fast enough, the lag can slow Wario down whenever you activate his "Fly" ability. As Wario flies for a set amount of time, the lag can make it impossible for you to reach the farther safe ground.
85* TakeThat: The ''entire game'' is a TakeThat to ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'', particularly the fourth generation a.k.a. [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic MLP:FiM]].
86* TraintopBattle: The fight against Fluttershy.
87* VictoryPose: Wario does this whenever he finishes a level.
