10. W3 The Pool of Rain – Gray This treasure focuses on a unique gimmick: stakes in the lake that rise when other stakes are ground-pounded, creating puzzles where you have to figure out how to arrange the stakes so that you can reach the next cliff, or in the middle section, to reach the […]
20. N5 The Tidal Coast – Blue O’ the few uses o’ the octopuses in this game, this is the most interesting use, challenging the player to navigate an underwater maze to find both the key & the chest room while avoiding the charge attacks o’ the octopuses who alternate from up & down as […]
30. N3 The Vast Plain — Gray I like this treasure’s focus on the theme o’ invisibility: while the Pneumos @ the beginning hinder you by covering your face, making you able to see yourself but not your surroundings, taking potions that the Mad Scienstein throws @ you, which make you unable to see yourself […]
40. S3 Tower of Revival – Green ’Nother similar treasure to “Bank of the Wild River” & “The Tidal Coast”’s green treasures. Despite “Bank of the Wild River”’s having the boss, I rank this e’er-so-slightly ’bove that treasure. While Tower of Revival’s wire mesh is just a large rectangle broken off by spikes, like “The […]
50. W3 The Pool of Rain – Red Tho having nothing to do with this level’s general lake theme, this treasure’s gimmick o’ having you cross platforms obscured by leaves is interesting in itself — & unlike “The Grasslands”, where it’s just trial & error, here they gave you a way to judge where solid […]
60. N1 Out of the Woods – Green The crux o’ this treasure, hopping ’long falling leaves while trying to avoid the water shots the fish spits @ you or falling into the lake, is a unique challenge that meshes well with the forest theme while adding the water twist to it. I specially like […]
70. S3 Tower of Revival – Blue The 1st room into the red-&-gold snake door has a cool arrangement, especially the part where you climb up a ladder to loop around from the left crisscrossing the ladder thru a thin passageway as flat Wario, & the challenges where you have to quickly climb up, slide […]
80. E2 The Frigid Sea – Gray I don’t have a problem with this treasure’s core being just a straight path going right while avoiding the quite-treacherous Brrr Bears & their ice shots on slippery platforms that don’t allow too much room to maneuver, specially since they do add the challenge o’ finding the gray […]
90. E3 Castle of Illusion – Gray This treasure made the mistake o’ focus primarily on a mechanic — dodging zombies — done in so many other treasures, & done much better in a’least 2 other treasures. While it’s cool to see sneak previews o’ all the chests in this level, — obviously unopenable this […]
Wario Land 3 is the point @ which the Wario Land series finally reaches its fullest potential, combining the clever status effect mechanic, where getting hit by certain enemies gives Wario certain effects like floating upward or falling down thin platforms, — & including new ones that are some o’ the best in the series, […]
