Mario is able to lift Bowser but unable to unstuck a giant bucket off his head
ChaoSpikes nice pfp lol
I don't think Nintendo are going for realism with their mascot.
This Game sucks but the vídeo the narrative is hilarious and it makes me laugh a lot
strong glue
Angle makes a big difference on how leverage works.
This looks like a precursor to the Mario vs Donkey Kong series!
It's definitely the precursor to Mario vs Donkey Kong 2.
Mario vs Donkey Kong 1 is a sequel to Donkey Kong '94 for the GameBoy.
@@anthonya.jumelles7103 no doubt thanks for the knowledge!
Nah, that's donkey kong '94 for original gameboy. Might've taken some ideas from this though :O
how can this be a precursor to the Mario versus donkey Kong series when the Mario versus donkey Kong game at least the first one is based off of the original Donkey Kong arcade from 1981 or more accurately it's based off of the Donkey Kong game boy game from 1994 which that game originally was based off of the 1981 arcade and partially based off of the Donkey Kong Jr arcade plus its own thing altogether? The real precursor to Mario versus Donkey Kong series most definitely is the Donkey Kong game on game boy in 1994 as the first Mario versus Donkey Kong game was quite similar to that while the remaining Mario versus Donkey Kong games were all about those mini Mario's
And a great precursor too (except for a part of it that goes to show that even M&W isn’t COMPLETELY timeless (at 2:17-2:20). Even though she’s taller than both Mario & Toad, I expect better (than to keep relying on the Mario Bros. saving her when she proved herself to be capable like them) from her just like how I have high expectations for Mario characters in general because of how skilled and therefore likeable they can be)!
I always thought it was odd how Wario just kinda became his own thing and was never a featured villain in a Mario game beyond Super Mario Land 2. Nintendo really should use him far more than they do as a rival/villain to Mario.
Wario stopped being a villain because of how popular he became. He's more of an anti-hero at worst.
It's the same reason Donkey Kong doesn't appear is most Mario games. He's popular enough to sustain his own franchise.
Waluigi needs a starring role, first
Wario was created by Nintendo R&D1 as a satire of Mario in protest at having to develop Nintendo EAD spinoffs (Super Mario games) for R&D1's game console (the Game Boy) instead of their own original titles.
It most likely didn’t see a release outside of Japan because the mouse itself didn’t sell very well in other territories. You said it yourself: most folks are unaware that there are games other than “Mario Paint” that utilize it.
And there are a ton that do! Cameltry/On the Ball and Arkanoid: DOH it Again use it too, among many others.
Jess Ragan Right. There are even more if you look at Japanese exclusives.
I’m a Hyperkin dealer. I don’t mean to take credit for the creation of the product (I was in no way involved in its design or engineering), and I have no way of knowing what was going through their heads, but I sent an email to my sales representative once pointing out there were a lot of games that used it and no other company was offering a replacement mouse. Not too long after that, they announced the Hyper Click. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not, I’m just glad that somebody is making one.
There's a patch available that lets you control it with your gamepad too if you want to play it on your SNES Classic or whatever...
Johnny Proctor I came to say the same
@@manichispanic999 so did I and it's been around forever
@J Jimenez most people prefer to play in games in consoles

@J Jimenez *"ANY WAY YOU CAN"*
I loved this game as a kid, it came in a "1001 games" disc I bough at a flea market, wich basically was just a cd full of emulators and roms.
A Mario game I've never heard about? Wow! I thought I've seen them all by now.
Mario's walk-cycle is a hoot. It's like he's doing that one-legged guitar skip everywhere.
Stay safe SNESdrunk! And give Clyde some pets!
One of the weirdest things to me is that the trait of Wario dropping buckets on the Mario Bros heads was actually put in a Mario book I got as a kid from one of those school order booklets. The book is called "Nintendo Heroes: Mario and the Incredible Rescue" from 2006. It's in chapter 8. I don't know of anywhere else where they mention or use Wario's trait of dropping buckets on people's heads.
My first time actually learning about "Mario & Wario" was in the Pokemon games for the original Game Boy. In Saffron City, when you're in the home of Copycat, you can find a SNES in her room, which has a game of Mario with a bucket on his head, and there's even a trophy of the bucket that you can collect in "Super Smash Bros. Melee" as well.
The game never made it outside of Japan, but a reference to it did: this is the game featuring Mario with a bucket on his head that you find in Copycat’s house in Gen I. I guess it beat making a nod to “Mendel Palace”? XD
TBustah there’s also a reference to “Mario with a bucket on his head” in the original Pokemon red and blue games. Until this video I’ve never understood what it meant, but as the they were both made by gamefreak it all makes sense now.
billystars That’s what I was referring to, Gen I.
@@TBustah Not everybody instantly knows what "Gen I" refers to. You probably should have specified "pokemon gen 1"
Tiara Azmalan Within the context of the comment section of a video about a Nintendo game, most probably do. Plus, I mentioned Copycat by name.
TBustah sorry about that. I’ve never heard of them being referenced as gen 1 before (despite being a huge fan of retro gaming). Technically gen 1 could mean the first generation of any subject. For me I mostly associate the term gen 1 as the first generation of transformers toys from the 80s.
I actually remember seeing a pic of this game in Nintendo Power back in '93 on one of their "upcoming games" section/article. So maybe this explains why this game's text is in English, as they originally planned an international release for this title.
I have the import cart of this, in the box. It's a really fun game. It feels a bit like a precursor to the Mario v. Donkey Kong series
I didn't forget. This is actually among the first games I played when I first discovered SNES emulators in the late 90s early 2000s or whenever ZSNES first became available.
Dude, as always another fun video! Always dig some new SNES Drunk stuff!
I have to say, Wario's gotten quite a bit more ambitious over his gaming career. To think this treasure-stealing, game company-starting, anti-hero adventurer started out by simply squatting in Mario's (never-used) castle in Super Mario Land 2 and by dropping buckets on people's heads in this game... lol. What "dastardly" act was he doing in Wario's Woods to spur Toad into action in _that_ early game? Kicking flowers? Some light littering? Trying to hurt the forest animals' feelings by hurling insults at them? Man, I am happy he found something better to do with his time eventually XD
Another great review SNES Drunk I've always loved your vids
Total length of video: 299 secs.
Total length of "SNES Drunk": 4 secs.
1.34% of the video was spent listening to "SNES Drunk."
Funny how Pokemon Red/Blue had a reference to this game in the Copycat girl's house even in the English release. Game Freak must have been proud of this game and rightfully so with it being a fun little puzzle game.
Yep. I remember as a kid reading, "It looks like Mario has a bucket on his head!" and being bewildered.
"Play this one any way you can" is the Evil Kermit of this channel
SNES Drunk, in these uncertain and confusing times I just wanted to let you know that I'm in love with you.
Hey get in line bitch
Snes drunk is awesome thanks for your videos it's greatly appreciated.
This game also reminds me of a better version of Eek the Cat! on SNES, where you control Eek who is guiding characters from the 90s Saturday morning cartoon show of the same name.
I loved the cartoon and owned the game as a result. I tried so many times to like it. But it's just horrible.
Eek the Cat is actually a weird repurposing of another game called Sleepwalker. I'm sorry you guys had to play such a butchered port, it's even worse then Universal Soldier on Genesis (which is a shitty repurposed port of the amazing Turrican 2)
@@auralunaprettycure I've been playing Turrican 2, and aside from the limited buttons and the way enemies drain your health bar (no knockback, no post-hit invincibility), it's actually pretty fantastic! It's kind of weird playing it after having played Turrican on the Genesis so many years ago... like stepping into an alternate universe where the series was always good.
For other guiding games that are pretty awful, check out Pac-Man 2 on SNES/Genesis
Jess Ragan yeah I know haha, it's weird how the series wasn't given better treatment on home consoles. Thankfully Mega Turrican on Genesis is pretty amazing. It actually has a little bit less of that enemies draining your health problem, plus I just love Chris Huelsbeck's music being faithfully recreated on the Genesis
The only channel I let the ads play through. Hope you see some of that money!
Now I know where that bootleg Mario game stole the sprite from.
That narrows it down to about 3000 bootleg Mario games.
Wow, didn't even know this game existed! Great review! :)
I love listening to some of those late-era SNES Japan only OSTs~ some interesting stuff to be heard :)
Ah, a cool looking game! I learned about it through Game Sack, but of course your input is valuable as well.
Great channel man!
Your the only person I actually watch the ads all the way through just saying. Love your videos bro.
I really think it boiled down to using a mouse for the game that made them decide to shelve the localization of this one. I'd say the climbing difficulty, but there have been far more difficult games that have seen release in the states that appeal to younger audiences. It's honestly not a favorite of mine, but I'm into ANYTHING Wario related. It's such a shame that out of all the characters, the Wario Bros barely get any merchandising love.
What a cool little game, I had never heard of it before. Reminds me of Lemmings, in the sense that there's a helpless character in the screen that you have to guide around.
Literally forgot about this game until this video!
This is awesome I just recently bought mario paint and the mouse and because of your reviews I also own tin star.
They took a chance with this one and I appreciate them for that.
Hey SNESDrunk! Thanks for all your videos and getting me into retro gaming. I just moved to the Albuquerque region, and (when the pandemic is over) am looking for good breweries and game shops (board or video). Any suggestions? Thanks!
Since we're right in the middle of a pandemic, I recommend: archive.org/details/software
Enjoy.
I remember seeing this game in a magazine when I was little (probably gamepro?). I didn't understand how it was supposed to work, but I think it was the first game that really cemented the idea that japan had a lot of interesting games that I'll never get to play lol
Great series
If you haven't done it yet, Donkey Kong for the Gameboy is stellar.
Now that you've reviewed this game starring Wario in his airplane and the fairy in the woods, it would be an incredible segway for that other game with the same elements. Not trying to sound demanding but how about Wario's Woods on SNES in the near future?
Cool! Never knew about this game.
I'm not sure if any one mentioned it 3 years ago, but before you start the level and when you pause it seems that you can scroll around in order to "explore" the level and see whats coming, you are only stuck on the character while in actual play mode.
oh wow, interesting. Nice find! Stay safe.
"...the perpetually lost and confused Luigi." LOL!
there’s a patch that allows you to use your controller to play on the SNES mini. Great game
Interesting concept
I never forgot this game, I have it complete in box with the mouse! It always surprises me that the Japanese version is 100% in English as far as I have seen playing it.
Wow, I wish I could play it.
Learned something new
Great game. I always forget you can click on the character to change their direction until I get to the levels where it's not possible to beat without doing so.
I did believe the SNES mouse was only compatible with Mario Paint. And I never heard of that game before, looks neat actually. Is that the only SNES Wario appearance?
The T2 Arcade game port was also mouse compatible.
I only have a handful of imports, but this is one of them. It was really a mistake that it never got localized.
Wow that looks like a solid title. I wish that Nintendo did more of these crazy games on the Switch.
The arcade I mention is "Far East of Eden: Kabuki Klash" which is a spin off of Tengai Makyou (which is Far East of Eden in English)
This is one of those games I am still so sad has never been brought back, and it would've been PERFECT for a DS, 3DS or WiiU port too!
I know a patch exists that lets you play mario paint with a controller, does one not exist for Mario & Wario?
It does. I used to have that rom that was patched that allows you to use the controller
It seems that Wario's name really came to be associated with puzzles for a while after Wario Land. Especially puzzles that have platforming elements.
(Wario's Woods is still my favourite puzzle game btw).
Are there games like this but both characters can be controlled(in 2 player mode)?
I remember seeing this is a store flyer regarding upcoming games. There wasn't any screenshot, just some placeholder boxart so I had no idea how the game played. I also didn't know until I got on the internet in the late 90s what happened to it. I wasn't even sure that it didn't get released here since it was harder to track down release dates in those days and other titles had appeared in stores briefly only to disappear.
I don't know who came up with the bucket idea. You would think a simpler idea that can't be immediately torn to pieces would be that Wario blinded Mario with something that would take some time to wear off or that he needed to get the cure from Wario. Maybe NOA rejected it simply by saying "why wouldn't he just take the bucket off his head?"
Looks awesome and I’d love to play it, but 110 levels? Any save or password system?
What about that beat at the end tho? What a banger!
reminds me of the Mario vs Donkey Kong Tipping Stars games for WiiU and 3DS
You could look up Tengai Makyou Zero (just want to see your review on that)
Incredible game!!!.
I only hate the million random battles per minute.
But still an amazing game!.
Yeah I even liked the Real time shops random encounter can be anoying once you get used to it. The fan Translation is complete. And my faverate character is: I'm not going to spoil because it's for people who did not play this game yet
never heard of 'Wanda', but for sure she is included in a few Smash Bros. and Mario Kart games ...
"I've never heard of her, but I know she's cameoed in other games"
Uh, what?
Small point of interest, there are hacks out there that allow you to play with a controller if that's what you prefer.
I recently tried out the romhack patch for this that allows you to play this with a regular controller and it works surprisingly well. I recommend it.
I can't imagine that mouse was very good for a game like this, since it was the ball-and-roller type.
Played this in Japan when I was a student there.
I guess we now know who you play as if you had the gamepad in New super Mario Bros U.
Seriously those blocks are identical.
The only reason I knew of this game's existence was because the bucket Wario covers Mario's head with was a trophy in Super Smash Bros Melee.
This is the game that was mentioned in that minic girl's house in saffron city in pokemon
I remember something about a game, what exactly was said
Clyde aproves this video
Are there any hacks out there to enable a controller? Would be nice to add this to my NES Classic! Good to see you getting back to quality SNES content.
Answering my own question here for anyone else who is interested... The answer is YES!
This wasn't the only Mario game Gamefreak was involved in. They also released Yoshi on the NES and Gameboy!
Or try Review on Tengai Makyou Arcade. It's a Fighting game and the first and only game that release in US instead of staying japan
Obligatory "x seconds of Snesdrunk at beginning of vid" comment. Love your stuff man!🔥
I really wish they made a Wario Land and Kid Icarus on the SNES.
The game is hinted in Pokémon Gen I games, in the Copycat's House console reads "A Game with MARIO with a bucket on his head..."
And, no, Luigi is not Lost. He's just waiting for his friend.
Map
Reminds me of yoshis safari. Very underrated game so fun. Both of these seem to be tbh. But I was talking about safari lol
Dang. I didn't know the SNES mouse was able to be used outside of Mairo Paint. Makes me think I missed out.
should have been a pack-in game included with the mouse
The funny thing is, the bootleg cartrige version have controller support way back in the 2000.
Warioland III is really fun
Its manga advertising the game foreshadowed the creation of Waluigi. Wario gets tired of being gangbanged by Mario and Luigi, so he tries to come out with a design of a sidekick to counter Luigi: Low and behold a WarLuigi shows up with a pretzel mustache. Camelot, after splitting with SEGA, would use that strip manga to show it to Miyamoto himself during the development Mario Tennis (N64).
Wuluigi is lazy made gimmick character. Memes are the only reason why the internet like him.
Is it? I remember playing that game on original hardware from a reviewers house.
No mention of the controller patch? I assume it doesn't work all that well compared to the mouse?
I guess that they didn't release it outside Japan because it was a Mario game where you didn't play as Mario, the genre being puzzle and requiring a mouse, that most Mario fans would have wanted something action oriented.
I love this game! It gets so freakin' hard very quickly!
One thing they screwed up is there is no way to save. There are more stages to play after beating the 8 worlds and there’s no way to continue.
This game is great. It really benefits being played on a PC with a modern mouse.
Who knew Mario's greatest weakness was getting a bucket stuck on his head. Wonder why Bowser never tried that.
I wonder if this is playable on the DS emulator with the touch screen.
Lampshade on a head... It's happening!
If you're stumbling blind across the wilderness with a bucket stuck to your head and surviving solely because of a fairy's good timing, well maybe you're not the best person to judge who's "lost" in this situation.
Gameplay looks like Mario vs DK March of the Minis on ds.
Oh, Game Freak made it? That explains why they referenced it in the first Pokémon.
This is a fun game and a good excuse to crack out the SNES mouse
Hey I actually own a game you reviewed legit! Havent played it, but more excited to now
I used to not understand how people had games that they never played, but then I found thrift stores and used game shops lol
