"I'm war, hoe, I'm Warhol, I'm Wario when I'm in Mario Kart" -Aristotle
I think Wario lives in a weird grey area between gross stinky pig man and endearing flawed cute video game protagonist... Hard to explain how he's both cute and not cute at the same time
he's weirdly endearing, isn't he? i've always liked him a lot lol
Endearing sure but...cute?
@@user-fy1nq3nf1q the same way a pug is cute
@@Lute01 I think it's about shame and cringe. We despise people who are unaware of how cringe they are, but if someone is cringe and aware find them more approachable and humane, usually because it means they can self-improve. Wario is funny because he is aware that he is "cringe" in the eyes of the viewers but he doesn't give a fuck, and being a cartoon the consequences of his flaws can be self-contained and harmless. He has all the makings of a parody of a greedy bad guy but without noticeable negative consequences the viewer can just grab pop-corn and safely side with the heel for a while without feeling uncomfortable, and we all even kinda feel better people by comparison
I love to think he's an ugly bastard. But he's also appealing
I think Wario came into his own when, after being a villain, they decided that games staring him should be, not parodies, but...satires of the mario platformer style. Mario colelctss coins? Wario ONLY cares about getting money. Mario gets powerful from powerups? Wario's powerups HURT him. Mario saves the princess? Wario's archenemy COULD be a princess.
What is donkey Kong then? Shonen anime?
Captain Syrup is basically the Wapeach people are talking so much, she is just way better
@@moosesues8887 Jungle Beat is a thing so....
@@unoriginality5460 it definitely is then
ngl i kind of miss wario as a villain, i think he would have worked better in superstar saga in place of popple
When it came out, WL4 reached a number of kids in the West and now every single one of them keeps a 'safe' playlist for drives with unfamiliar people for fear of upsetting them with their actual taste
Man that's a mood. So many games have incredible OSTs made by very talented composers, but people hearing its from a game and generally not being stock radio genres really turns them off to the idea
I always assumed I was insane for associating Wario Land 4's OST with Björk's Debut.
I like the ending a lot because Wario sharing a laugh with the Princess cat is like, the one time in the whole series the game doesn't end in a pure "oh he's just a greedy asshole" note, it makes it feel very special among those and even the Wariowares. Not that an ending like that should be the norm for Wario, but it's plenty heartwarming and goes really well with the wistful credits sequence where you reminisce about the batshit crazy drugtrip adventure you just had. Yeah, also love your laidback narrative style, this was a pretty fun watch. Cheers!
I wish Waluigi was there
Wario starts the virtual boy one by just relaxing next to a waterfall because he thought it was beautiful and wanted to vacation there, in nature with not much on him, he only happened to see the huge amount of treasure being taken into a cave and decided then to looks at it, getting trapped and having to escape
It's perhaps my favorite ending in anything, purely for that moment and the credits with him driving home with a bag full of treasures as memories splay out across the background.
18:40 erm actually.......... He can't die because the Wario Land 2 manual says that he is immortal and that's he's able to turn into these transformations!
How is he immortal? According to Wario: "He just doesn't feel like dying"
Wario is the only character in Mario´s world that 100% absolutely fucks.
Birdo. You cannot tell me Birdo ain’t fuckin.
@@BareBandSubscription You got me there. Birdo seems like the kinda girl who gets around. And think about the stuff she could do with that mouth...
@@tengu5949
Shiiiet, I already am
@@BareBandSubscription I can take one look at Birdo and tell you she's not fuckin'
@@ghhn4505
Boy, you don’t know fuckin if you can’t see that Birdo be fuckin. She’s got perpetual bedroom eyes.
My entire worldview has been shaken now that I know the YIIK house is the Full House house
I feel like you’re describing Wario’s enemies the way that he would.
You covered all the reasons why this game really enthralled me as a kid. That intro song for the game lives rent free in my head
Wario always has been the best Mario character
This shit ruled, I really dug the sort of laissez-faire direction you took in talking about this game. I sometimes think I try too hard to speak matter-of-factly in my vids; It really felt like you were just conversing, that shit's awesome and something I wanna hone in on more. It's cool to see people who know what they're talking about approach this game. Wario Land's a hard series to encapsulate in such a short amount of time, but you did a great job!
thanks dude! i tend to just kinda write a barebones script and let myself talk like i would to a friend and just kinda let my brain say whatever words come to my mouth when i record. i’m glad people seem to enjoy how i do this type of thing, lmao. best of luck with your own videos!
Jesus loves you and died and rose again for your sins
This isn’t just me being patronizing when I say your style is great in it’s own way, and adds to the semi-cheesy humour style. Is the Wario Land series retrospective your first piece of proper produced content? If so I would be very surprised.
@@travisreberto1295 Me? They're the first "serious" vids I've made, but there have been some failed attempts in the past.
17:05 How can Wario be a vampire given all the garlic he’s eaten. Wouldn’t he just die on the spot? lol
Wario does whatever he wants. He doesn't care about dying, he doesn't care about being burned alive, he doesn't care about being flattened into a pancake.
Wario persists anyway to get what he wants.
its like Straizo from JJBA, if he channels his Garlic power he'll combust himself but otherwise he has his youth and augmented strength
Cool little tidbit about Warioland 4 is that it’s engine was reused for Metroid Fusion!
"I love Wario."
Thank you for summing up my feelings towards Wario in an easy to understand and bite size sentence!
Played this game recently due to Pizza Tower being heavily inspired by it, and it was such a good time! An underrated gem of a game
wario land 4 is actually the fifth game; there was a genuinely good one for the Virtual Boy in the form of Virtual Boy Wario Land, more or less an upgraded version of WL1
Gosh I could talk about this game for hours; easily one of my favorite games and definitely one of my favorite Wario Lands. I even burned a CD of all the Sound Room Songs as a kid.
I never made this connection as a kid, but seemingly the Wario Ware series is derived from the mini game rooms before the bosses in this game; some of them even got ported almost directly over. It's weird because the mini games are the last thing I think about when I reminisce about Wario Land 4
Maybe, but WarioWare was mostly inspired by a different unknown game which was also a collection of "micro games". I don't remember the name unfortunately.
@@cube2foxit was Mario artist for N64DD
@@ochuspin No it wasn't.
@@cube2fox if that’s not the one that you’re thinking of then that’s surprising considering it had a mini game section that straight up used things that Wario ware would use one to one
@@ochuspin Okay, didn't know that. I was thinking of the Japanese arcade game series Bishi Bashi, which may have also been an influence (or an influence to the minigames in Mario Artist Polygon Studio).
I actually met someone who didn't know wario.
Sad got him
I think unhinged and surreal are the perfect words to describe this game. The whole thing feels like a fever dream. I wonder if this is one of the games that kickstarted my affinity for weird and surreal settings. That being said, it's probably like top 3 2D platformers ever for me. Maybe it's the nostalgia talking, but I played a gargantuan amount of this game as a kid, and no matter how often I come back, it's still just as good as ever.
Wario Land, WarioWare, and even Wario World are all totally underrated, so I'm always down to hear some praise for them. Awesome video.
Same i view the Dynamic of Art between Mario/Wario like this
Mario Art got sobrenatural elements but they are down to earth but wario nintedo try to be the more abstract possibel
I get the feeling we're not going to get another game quite like this from Nintendo, let alone another Wario Land game. At the very least, I like how there's this appreciation for Wario Land, and Wario Land 4 in particular, that's been on the rise in recent years.
The HQ project was more than just the GameCube samples. Where possible, the original sample CDs & synthesizers & whatnot that were used in the Land 4 soundtrack were tracked down so that those original sounds could be taken in higher quality.
Automating music to play differently based on player action is really common these days but back then it was pure *genius*
The manual and japanese guide explain the finale
It's very simple
The cat is the spirit of the true ruler of the Golden pyramid that was usurped by golden diva. Due to this Shokora is unable to pass. After Wario slays golden diva Shokora is freed and is finally able to Go to the afterlife
There solved
Wario Land 4 is a GBA gem. I could listen to the Monsoon Jungle theme all day and not get tired of it. This was a nice trip now to memory line. This game does rules, and serves a re-release of some kind (and no, NSO does not count).
While I'd love to hear more work from the composer too, perhaps he doesn't differentiate much between the two mediums?
I remember losing my shit when I picked up the cd somewhere between musiq concrete and industrial as a kid (grew up with a lot of Skuppy tapes played in my house lol). Coming back to it years later, I was struck by how many of the cds weren't really music at all, just moods and soundscapes composed of noises.
Possibly his penchant for incorporating sound effects into music was even why he was selected for the role.
Can't believe if never thought to look up his name before, thanks for giving me something to keep an eye out for with Nintendo games :)
It's really something else when Mario as a character is so sterile and lacking of any real personality that we all flock to Wario who is the actual embodiment of all of the seven deadly sins, and smelly. I'm simultaneously rooting for Wario whenever he is suplexing a boss and also cackling and pointing my finger at his stupid face whenever he gets crushed or lit on fire. It's like regardless of what's happening I'm always having a good time with Wario.
Mario had a bit of a personality back then. He wasn’t completely blank. Nowadays sure.
In the game where wario debuted as an antagonist there was an occopanying comic of mario and wario as kids, mario had personality in that
Wario is very cool, he’s basically so lame it comes full circle to being awesome. Wasn’t pleased with how much of a disgusting braphog he becomes lately. I loved this and Wario World where he’s gross but powerful. This is the man I want to represent me in video games.
I tried to find an old article about the Shake It devs/artists being mostly women who eventually changed their screensavers to Wario because they liked him. My 2 minute search didn’t find it though.
Good video by the way
"disgusting braphog" made me burst out audibly chuckling.
a friend of mine sent me your Star Fox assault review and I've honestly just fallen in love with your style of humor and reviewing. I'm 25 and I don't remember the last time I've laughed this hard at jokes in a RUclips video. Love your channel
My grandma bought me this game when I was a kid. It was also one of my first GBA games and it left a mark on me. I've never experienced the same feeling as while playing this game. It's filled with a unique sinister goofiness that was so addicting for me as a kid. I'm an adult now but I sometimes think about this game, randomly humming some of its tunes.
Thank you for such a great tribute
I'm pretty sure that Princess Shokora different appereances are representing her growth, the good one where she has short hair represents an adult form while the normal ending is a more like a child(?)
I don't know but I always though it was something like that, anyways, amazing video dude!
Those are Wario Toys lol, also this is the first time I've seen the crouching effect on musoc holy shit
holy shit I also like Wario Land 4?? HE'S JUST LIKE ME
I too was enchanted by this game, I would turn off the layers in my emulator and cut the sprites out posting sprite sheets on the spriter's resource, I'd unlock the sound records and and record the strange STRANGE unlockable songs. It was just a strange enthralling game and I think the atmosphere is the big part of it.
As a Shadow the Hedgehog fan I appreciate every reference to it ever.
Also wonderful vid; came here from Geno7's and it's a great companion piece. You earned a sub!
Your review style kinda reminds me of Running Shine, but more laid back. Its pretty good. Not to mention the games you review are ballers.
I love returning to this video. Amazing work man love seeing what you put out!
This is a good review type thing
thanks! this is a good comment type thing.
14:38 "Look, Ma! There I am! I'm on TV!"
Thanks for helping him find the right instruments man
@@Lute01 No prob! :)
Wario somehow felt like both a “strong guy” and a “stinky and greedy idiot” character at the same time. Despite the fact he’s made out to be kind of stupid as of recent, he certainly used to come off as him being in control of the situation. In the advertisements of wario land 2, rather than being a normal person and being scared or worried of transformations like being set on fire and being squished, he *thanks* the enemies that give him the transformation. Got squished and are as flat as a pancake? Thanks man! Got his ass set on fire? Thank you! Wario Land Shake It decided to emphasize the strong “macho” aspect of him and it was amazing. In the smash series, his render in ultimate is him doing a pose like a wrestler approaching the ring, basically assuring his own victory. In Mario Kart 8, when you win a race as him, he says “Wario, the legend!” as if he is so proud of himself to the point he would go down as a legend in racing from winning. To me he’s always passed off as more of a strong guy with an affinity for treasure and a little full of himself rather than the fat, greedy, stinky idiot who Nintendo tries to present him as in the WarioWare series. Mario Party has some of his victory animations flex his muscles. In 7 one of his animations has him flex them, (the other is him pointing in the sky, emphasizing him being full of himself) in Superstars, both of the animations are him flexing his muscles at the end of it. It feels like the warioware series has tried to present him as a fat, greedy idiot who stinks. But he’s much more than that. He’s a strong and fat guy who has an affinity for treasure and is full of himself. (He even had a castle prior to WarioWare, and then it just disappears at some point, and now he just has a terrible house.)
In shake he lived in his garage and slept in his car
Growing up playing the Wario land series and Wario world made Wario become my favorite character in the Mario universe, always pick him in the spin-off games. These games still hold up today and they're more fun than any 2D Mario game that I've played.
It’s always a good day when there’s a new Lute video!
24:32 - You have no idea, how I adore these moments, where anything, in this case, a name, can bring an association to something else, that makes it so individual and personal, I just love it. :D And Yes, I looked up the song and it does bop 😌
Really enjoyed this commentary on a game you love. I wish Nintendo kept this series going. I always wanted to play the Wario Land series growing up, but I never had the opportunity to. I'm sure if I did I would be super nostalgic for one of the titles. The only entry I remember playing briefly was Wario Land: SHAKE IT!! after my mom rented from a local blockbuster for me. Now I know how fantastic Wario Land 4 is, thanks chief! 😳
Ayyy I thought I was the only one who rented Wario Land Shake It from Blockbuster once as a kid
Just found your Paper Mario video and watched it and this one. Keep it up these videos are great and I can't wait to see more!
Thank you! I'll keep makin' em! Glad you had fun watching
Frigging love the warioland games
For any fan of this game ! If you didn’t know already, there is a romhack which is a total conversion of the game called parallel world! When i first saw this i felt so much joy and was as hyped as a kid !
Wario Land 4 and Metroid Prime are two games from my childhood I try to replay at least once every year. The game design is just so good, they never really become stale and the fast completion time means they don't overstay their welcome either. With MP Remastered and Pizza Tower having come out within a week of each other was one the best surprises ever. I dearly want another WL game. Make it happen Nintendo!
I grew up with a blue gameboy advance and warioland 4 for christmas one year. I think that one was one of the best years.
I love the ice level, its sure complicated but the way you get the disc is just perfect
I didn’t know that there was a 3rd difficulty
Now you have me another reason to jump back in
Im stunned, this is the best video ever, i can relate so much to it that it’s almost uncanny. The humor („wario homunculi“), the direction/narration and all the details. Like the screenshots you weaved in, musical references and graphical details like that you used Gigi Masin‘s etruscan styled album cover as a background at one point is so amazing. It makes me believe that a work of art as expressive as Wario Land 4 has influenced you and the audience of this video so much like me when we were confronted with the game at a young age. Beautiful to see the internet doing the thing it was made for in such a specific way, bringing people together💧i plaid with the thought that it was Wario Land 4 amongst other things which opened my mind for art and music a lot, and this video confirmed it! Wow just wow i cant wait to watch more of you
Gotta say tho i like the adult cape version of the princess the most somehow hahah
Frog in Japanese is Kaeru (蛙)
Return in Japanese is Kaeru (帰る)
It is the Kaeru Switch that you press to end the level
Very clever!
I love how the Wario Land series progressively gets weirder as it goes on. Wario Land 1 is a super standard 2D platformer with only some weird elements, then Wario Land 2 flips the switch by making Wario immortal and introducing the weird abilities. Wario Land 3 is really weird in how it progresses since there's no clear direction to go, and by Wario Land 4 everything has become so warped and twisted that even the sound design and music get affected. I kinda miss when Wario was the 2D platformer series for Nintendo while Mario was doing 3D and Donkey Kong Country was on hiatus, but now with Kirby going 3D they aren't making any 2D platformers anymore besides Metriod Dread. Maybe it's just wishful thinking but I think they could do a Wario Land 5 justice if they got the WarioWare guys to provide the visual style and the bizarre ideas.
Hopefully they go back to 2D games more now after their announcement of Mario Bros Wonder. But Wario Land 5 should have a drawn / cell shading look.
Your reviews make me feel hella comfy
Wario Gameboy games were my favorite ALWAYS! it's also what made me realize that I find obscure weirdly odd & surreal things AWESOME.
Pikmin 3 was actually a really solid game for it's sound design and weirdness, so at least we see some gems popping up here and there! But still, would be awesome if he'd gain full control on a project somehow
If you think about it, all Wario games sound very weird, starting with this one I think. Their trademark is the the bizarre echo-y voices, there's nothing like it.
Wario is a silly man and his games are just as silly, something that me and my brother always liked and have an all around fun time with him
I can feel the runningshine inspiration, I love it so much
lol i came here from the paper mario video, and you made the same AC:NH jokein this video that i did in the comments of that video, before i even saw this, you've deserved the subscribe. your humor is hilarious, you deserve a lot more subs/views
It’s amazing how much production value this game has, it ooze’s creativity, this is the Nintendo I remember and miss, it seems these days, there becoming even more child friendly and sanitized for the mainstream players, at least we still get wariowqre games.
Funny internet man back at it again with another banger ❤️❤️❤️
I feel like Mario Wonder couldn’t have happened without Wario. It’s like they gave a Mario game a Wario blood transfusion, giving it just a little bit more weirdness than usual.
I also like how the music in WL4 return as themes in ware
Nice video, Lute! Found your channel by searching for the music instrument.
I get what you mean with the game feeling like Yume Nikki with how varied the level themes are

Holy fuck I never thought I’d hear a BOARDS OF CANADA REFERENCE in a Wario Land 4 review.
welcome to my twisted mind
@@Lute01 Love it dude. You’re a legend and I’ve been watching your shit through since I couldn’t sleep. A Loveless reference in a Paper Mario review as well? You’re too holy for this earth.
As someone who absolutely loves Wario Land 4 as well, my choice for the passages at least on normal mode are the Emerald Passage first, then the Ruby Passage for it's moderate difficulty and because I can tolerate the fridge level, then the Sapphire Passage due to its harder difficulty, and finally ending at the Topaz Passage because I have major trouble with the board game and art level. Also I find the boss really hard and I always need to go to the store and buy the boss' specific weakness to beat it.
Sometimes when he takes damage he will say yeah like he welcomes danger.
Early 2000's weird Nintendo was the peak. Same with Dreamcast Sega.
Wario is just awesome and so Are his games. Glad I‘m not the only one who loves the sound test and it’s weird compressed „music“. Gotta say though, even tho this is probably the best game in the series, the third one is still my favorite for nostalgia reasons but also due to its interesting progression
one of the best platformers ever made.
I have never played this game but this video rules.
I really love Warioland games, great Video !
This is absolutely amazing. This is one of my top 3 games from childhood!
I sometimes forget just how much i love the outro song.
its also rather funny how different the endings turn out based on how much treasure you get.
the princess has different forms. one of which is a rather funny ugly sister look and wario is pretty sickened lmao.
26:34
Queen -- Best Ending
Princess - True Ending
Baby - Bad Ending
Warioette - oh god no
I‘d say the „best“ ending would be the Princess while the Queen form feels more like her „true“ Self, where she can express her maturity and I respect that.
19:13 Wario does double GOMAD and that's just for breakfast!
That why he strong 💪
I really like the comparison to Yume Nikki, it actually made a lot of sense once you put it into context
I, too, like Wario Land 4 :)
:)
my first gba game and what a great video that brought back so many memories! thanks man :')
this video is sick and you are sick thank you for making this sick video thanks
thank you. i am sick. i am absolutely down with the illness
@12:23 maybe "pretty fun" is a line from that skit I don't remember. But that random shot of stav got me good
Speedrunners say it's impossible, but there is most definitely a way to glitch through the boundery blocks around the frog switch in the final level before Diva. There's a way to skip it and hear the original level music. I remember doing it effortlessly as a little kid. I dont remember what buttons i pressed. I think I spammed a, b, and maybe start. Some way of pausing the game and unpasing. There's a way.
Came here after watching your Mother vid, really digging your stuff dude. Will definitely subscribe, looking forward to some more cool vids 👍
Off topic but I really like your songs on your Spotify!
Garter goes smoothly ((:
i played this game all the time as a kid and recently i went back and replayed it. i did end up selling it because i sold a lot of my old games, but i really hope the person who bought it finds enjoyment in that weird experience like i did!
26:36 no, no, you're absolutely right! It must've been a programming error or something 😂
I actually got this game on my modded 3ds due to this video, even though I'm trash at platformers. I'm surprised it's this fun!
19:12 bro wiped the spaghetti sauce with his hat that he used to wipe the pigeon shit with...
4:36 thats more dashdancing but you got the right idea
I had this game as a kid on GBA but I lost the cartridge at some point and have had faint memories of playing it ever since… last year I emulated it and I liked it a lot but only played it a tiny bit. I really love the visual style and music so much
Wario is the edgy-dreamworks version of Mario.
He is the gaming equivalent of Shrek.
That's both why he's everything Nintendo needs, but the last thing their corporate sensibilities would incline them to actually make. (Not that Dreamworks isn't just as capitalist as Disney; there the analogy breaks down.)
I think it would have been more interesting if the pyramid itself was one last true escape that you had to make and if time ran out then it goes back to before the Golden Diva fight.
Have you gotten a chance to play Puzza Tower?
I don't know how I missed this game. Wario Land 3 has always been a favorite, and I'm excited to see how much of that one carried over into 4, but maybe better?
Just a reminder to everyone to buy this on the Wii U eshop before it shuts down on march 27. The game looks fantastic on the big screen or gamepad
