Fun fact: Rudy the Clown was never actually named in Wario Land 3. He's only referred to as "a hidden figure" in the game itself. He wasn't called Rudy until Dr. Mario 64, released a year later, and he was only called "Rudy the Clown" in Fortune Street, released 11 years later.
happy to see someone else knowing not only of Dr Mario 64 but also Fortune Street Wii ♥ Wish more Fortune Street titles were released in the west, it really is the better more healthy balanced Monopoly game!
@@gameguynick1586 isnt that that shitty mod that allows SANS and other meme charcters that dont fit into the premise or style of the game in it? If so, no thank you, it's pretty disespectful what the devs did to it, and I was able to talk to one of those devs and simply said "it's more fun to customize characters for it then to actually make sense, because its a game that doesn't make sense in the first place lol" as a comment from him.
@@Evilriku13 Custom Street World Tour adds over 130 maps including most from all past games in the series. There's even custom boards with new types of rulesets and events. There's no new characters or anything like you're describing.
When I first tried this game, it was definitely overwhelming with its world design, its the only Wario game I haven't finished, but I think after watching this, imma give it a try again.
You really should! But the golf mini game is obscenely difficult unless you're playing on actual hardware (GBC or 3DS). The game makes you think and is surprisingly difficult in the best ways. There was one level I was stuck on for years!
happy to see the cultured Gnoggin knocking down in this video and appreciating this game more by now! If you find love for this game, do consider that there is a randomizer for it that is quite interesting in itself too with its options for what it is!
Well Look at that, Lockstin, the real life Pokémon Professor praising Wario for having overwhelming world design in the biggest adventure on the gameboy. You love to see it.
Random fun fact: Wario Land 3 is actually referenced in WarioWare Gold as a full micro-game! It's really cool because Nintendo almost never references the Wario Land series nowadays, and it's still rare to see it in WarioWare! Heck, have you seen Wario Land, one of the greatest GameBoy franchises, referenced in Smash Bros?
Oh yeah, that's right! I got so excited when I was playing WarioWare Gold and came across that twist-control Bubble Wario microgame in 18-Volt's set. Referencing my favorite childhood GBC game like that.
I find it so funny that Wario, an character that their creator literaly said they got very lazy designing him, still has an very active fanbase, having 2 franchises with an bunch of fans, and an fuckton of memes and fan games and games based on them....such as Pizza Tower
I can't speak for all the other Wario fans, but at least the reason I love the Wario franchise (particularly Land and World) is that I think it's a fantastic marriage of character and game design. Wario's very character heavily influences the games he's in, which is why collecting treasure and finding secrets is a staple of the platformer side (and the general weirdness of his character and existence within the greater Mario universe informs just how insanely bizarre the Ware series is). Mario is a blank slate (by design), so the adventure is presented as something that needs to happen. Wario, on the other hand, is greedy and you are _rewarded_ for playing like Wario and being as greedy as possible, Before I get hate comments, I want to say I have no issue with the way Mario games are designed. There's nothing wrong with how they're usually done. Mario can go anywhere and do anything. It's just with Wario, the kind of character he is is inseparable from the games he stars in. Mario is interchangeable with any other character (and often is able to be swapped out with other characters). But Wario games wouldn't work as well if Wario wasn't in them. (Also I just really like puzzle platformers in general, which the Wario Land series features, especially in 2 and 3).
Smooth animation, a Goomba Got Back reference, Goomba's signature humor, and almost half an hour worth of content. Amazing work! This is one of my favorites
You CAN rely on The Temple to tell you where to go. AFTER you defeat Rudy, the boss rewatch is locked until you 100% the treasures, and the hint system is still available.
Oh Goomba. Teasing us with Austin Powers and also giving us a really entertaining review of a game we’ve waited for him to cover for years. Truly a fungus of many talents.
It's funny how this game share similarities with Link's Awakening. The protagonist wakes up in a strange world and needs to awaken a deity with music boxes to escape.
If you think about it, this games plot is kinda similar to another game boy game: The protagonist is trapped in a weird unfamiliar world, and the only way out is to collect a certain amount of musical items. Said items are used to free a powerful deity that had some major influence on the world.
I'm so glad that you love this game so much. Looking back to when I was a kid, Wario Land 3 is hands-down not only my favorite GBC game, but also the one that gives me the most nostalgia and sentimental value. Especially the music box and staff credits theme. Thank you for putting so much effort into this video. It makes me want to give it another playthrough.
My favourite game of all time, and is why I'm a huge gamer today. Also wrote an essay about why it's the most unique metroidvania ever made, then did a reading of it on my channel. I really wish there was a game that was basically Wario Land 3.5. Actually have an idea for one, which expands on everything. By the way, if you know what you're doing and ignore the music coins, you can basically speed run the main treasures of the game in about two and a half hours. Knowing what you're doing includes avoiding traps and enemies, by the way.
This was my first own game, and has always remained one of my most favourite games ever. Such an underrated gem. Still brilliant after all these years!
Oh yeah, WARIO APPROVES!!! 18:53 - Well, Wario did help Princess Peach getting her gold statue of herself in "Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3" (well he wanted the big reward so not really "helping" by intention). Must say it was coincidental as here. Same with "Wario Land 4" really. Only "Wario Land: The Shake Dimension" is the only game where he KNEW his mission was to doo good by saving the kidnapped beloved queen - but only the gold motivated him to accept the mission..... LONELY GOOMBA, you are the best ;-)
NGL as someone who never really played many Wario games it's insane how much content is in such a small cartridge. Like this seems to have more content and challenges than some modern 2D Mario games! Really hope Nintendo brings back Warios adventures days, so much potential here.
Finally! I have been waiting for this moment for years! I haven't played the second game, so I didn't care too much, but this here is a game I have had some experience with!
This was my first Wario Land and my favorite. I wanted to make a rom hack of it but it was too hard to design levels. Just goes to show how intricate the level designs were
Random fact: That scientist enemy (Mad Scienstein) is actually a character from the Japan only game Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru (The Frog For Whom The Bell Tolls), and acts as Rudy's minion in Dr Mario 64, which also brings back various characters from this game and gives Rudy his actual name. He then returns again as that scientist guy in Wario Land 4, who you basically beat up and throw around to solve puzzles in the bonus rooms. So he's a random cameo from an obscure Nintendo game that started appearing in the Wario series for whatever reason, and has absolutely nothing to do with the storyline or world in either of them.
I remember getting this game several years ago, getting stuck on the fourth level, and never playing it again. Now that I know what the objective is, I think I'll pick it back up again; thanks, Goomba - I thought those $14 were wasted.
19:23 Actually Mr. Doobie will still give you directions on where to go. The game just acts like you never freed Rudy. Once you collect all the treasures, you return for the final fight again. Frankly you'll need his help as the game winds down, as it gets less clear on where to go with fewer treasures left to collect.
This was my first game that was bought for me on my brother's old GBC, so many memories it brings as this one is the one that got me obsessed with Wario (to the point i, still currently, prefer him more than mario and anyone else). The level style, progression, upgrades etc. Are what really made beating the levels and finding a new treasure and secret so worth it. It is indeed one of the more unique ones as I felt no other game compared to it, even though I really like the other Wario Land Games that I played much later in life they never captured the same feel. Great video!
Thank you Goomba for having the dedication I did not: to get everything in Wario Land 3. I figured out what the reward was going to be for everything a long time ago was and thought "Nope! I do not have the patience for this and I got all the rings in the Oracle Zelda games!" It's sad because I love this game and it has some rocking tunes so I expected a sound test or something.
ive never played wario land 3 but seeing that puzzle near the end where you need to get fat; set on fire and then become a zombie is crazy. i love wario land 4 a ton but that puzzle alone made me think how much more potential wario land could have
2002, my mom took me to Wal-Mart to get my 1st GameBoy ever. I got to pick the color, lime green and 3 games along with it. They were Batman Beyond, Mega Man Xtreme 2 & Wario Land 3. While Batman was alright, MM Xtreme 2 was incredible. I remember just spending countless hours...DAYS playing Wario Land 3. Like you mentioned, the game is huge and had so much to explore. A few weeks into WL3, I remember just 1 day not being able to find my GBC, I was looking everywhere for it, considering how far I was into the game. I was so bummed out, in tears actually. A month later I end up finding it inside the couch near the arm rest, I pulled it out from there and was so stoke to get back into playing the game once again. I eventually reached the Clown boss, being shocked that you got a GAME OVER screen from being caught by him. When I beat em though, I remember seeing the ending cutscene, being shock that all the enemies were the original villagers all along and relieved that Wario finally got out of the globe, rewarded. Then, when the credits theme started playing, I remember just crying. An amazing experience and countless hours of exploring finally coming to end, hearing all the music boxes playing together. Overall, Wario Land 3 was a massive part of my childhood. Given countless hours of entertainment. It's 1 of the top, if not, my favorite handheld game ever to this day,
I was literally wondering if you were still doing content yesterday, shocked me as i hadn't been keeping up with you since.... i think.... 2017. Nice to see you still out here.
Awesome video and all, but.... Watching this made me realise something huge! I'm deeply confused about how wario games actually fit into the overall mario lore. For the most part, everything kinda makes sense holistically! Yoshi's games tend to take place on Yoshi's island with kamic trying to cause issues on Bowser's behalf, The Kong's have their own places (also Islands mostly) that revolve around bananas in a similar way the mushroom Kingdom revolves around mushrooms, even Luigi games are set with exploring the more paranormal side of the mushroom Kingdom... And then wario games come along and blow all of that outta the water. It honestly feels like each wario game isn't even taking place in the same universe since they are so distincly different to each other. I always thought that wario was meant to be Mario's rival, but I'm not even sure if wario even has his own goals?! Is he a treasure-hunter someplace in the mushroom Kingdom (wario land)? Or video game maker in some earth-like world (warioware)? Hero (super mario 64 DS)? I'm honestly kinda baffled really?! There seems to be absolutely no consistency! What'cha think? I personally can't wrap my head around it at all.
The Mario universe is really strange so I wouldn’t really be surprised if Wario’s adventures just take place in some even more bizarre part of the world than the Mushroom Kingdom. And he just kinda pops up in the Mushroom Kingdom whenever he feels like it.
@@zingerific8209 You're right! There's even a kingdom called the 'Bean bean kingdom' where all the residents are literally beans... So maybe I'm thinking too much into it hahaha.
This was an excellent review. And I agree, I would put this as my favorite Game Boy Color game. The sunset of the Game Boy Color has some my favorite games for it. Frankly, it holds a special place in my heart. Especially since you know this is the true end of the 8-bit era.
Unrelated to most of the video, but I used to watch this channel years ago and the moment that intro came on so many memories I forgot I had returned to me. Glad to see that TLG's content is as entertaining as I remember
Honestly this should be a channel that everyone knows. This is why: He took a part of 1-1 (everyone knows 1-1) where a goombas stuck between two pipes (everyone knows both of those things) and started gaming (everyone knows gaming)
Your videos on the Wario Land series got me to play through them. I'm still working towards 100% on Wario Land 2, but this makes me excited to try the 3rd
I really wished they made a 3D platform Wario game that's structured like this, the blueprint was here all along but somehow Treasure preferred to make a beat em up for Wario World.
The scientist is the one who accidentally opened up the gateway to Rudy's dimension, releasing him into the mortal world. It's implied in Dr. Mario 64, that he served Rudy out of fear. He was most likely just trying to stop wario from releasing the colossal clown.
Definitely my favorite Wario, feel it's severely underrated (especially compared to 4). Glad new folks can experience it on switch, also considering it's the only WL game on there as of right now... maybe Nintendo agrees as well 🤔
gingivitis the clown might be one of my favourite sentences I've ever heard. Also I remember getting this game on virtual console back when it came out and now I have it on official hardware. And I've now finally 100% after almost 10 years
Wario Land 3 is also my favorite game in the series and among the best Game Boy Color games because of everything you mentioned and despite the issues you pointed out in this fantastic review of it!
This is also one of my favorite titles, I remember fully completed this title in my youth and it was a blast. Getting lost in the world and exploring the world and remembering where to go after unlocking a power up, is just heavily fun. I spent months on that title to fully complete. I personally enjoyed the golf mini game. The section with the doctor when he moved his arm up and down fluently was fantastic editing, it shows how much your content has improved over the years. The gag about gaijin goomba was neat, you two should have another cross over again as it has been a heavy long amount of time since the last one.
Though much more stripped back in terms of gameplay mechanics, Tails Adventure is somewhat similar in terms of having open-ended levels that open up more as you collect powerups (or different items/weapons in terms of Tails Adventure) I'll admit it's probably not at all on the same level, but you might want to check it out regardless. I feel like it's very enjoyable, even to someone who isn't just playing it because they're a huge fan of Tails and desperate for a good solo game with him.
@@TheLonelyGoomba glad to hear it! It's been a while since I played it, so I wasn't sure if I was remembering it properly. Might have to dig up the 3DS and play through it again.
I'll keep telling people, but this is quality content! Absolutely superb videos, still as enjoyable to watch nowadays as back in 2015/2016. I can't imagine the time you put into the editing and especially the animation!! Moment of appreciation, thank you man. Thank you for making my day better, genuinely. Keep it up legend.
Personally, this is my favorite Game Boy Color game. Was also my very first Wario Land game too! I had it when I first got the handheld for my 9th or 10th birthday, and was obsessed trying to find every secret I could possibly find. I seriously wish Nintendo would remember this series and make more games like this again. While I do like the Warioware games, I just think Wario was at his best in his own platformer series. GAHHHHHHHHH, that one last Music coin though... I agree. It was the single reason why I never got to 100% the game until much later and learning about it. How would ANYONE know it was hidden off-screen in the ceiling, especially with another Music coin already there? Definitely the worst way to hide a secret indeed. >_
I am so happy you covered this, I have been waiting for this for years, this was one of my absolute favourite games growing up! It was fun, weird and creative, though it also scared me for some reason, can't quite tell why...Anyway, thanks for the new perspective you brought to my memory lane! Edit: OH MY GOD THAT WAS THE COIN THAT NEVER LET ME FINISH THE GAME THIS HURT IN MY CHILDHOOD
The last coin reminds me of that last DK symbol in dkc3 on game boy like i played that level so many times and tried every thing! I jumped into every wall hit every enemy,tossed the barrel on every wall etc. Untill i literally glitched trough a wall and ended up getting it! It was the one level where you could get the spider i belive btw.
We finally have Wario Land 3! Do you plan on doing Master of Disguise? It's a lot easier and quite frankly, I thought it was much more fun. I know that Wario World was before, but unless Mario plans on dropping a GameCube and a TV, then it's going to be hard to play.
I need to give this game a try again cause when I originally played it I personally wasn't a fan of the things it changed from Wario Land 2, like for example, Wario needing to unlock his abilities he had default in the second game. also I got stuck at one point because of the day/night system.
Also my words on Wario land 3, it's a really good Wario game and honestly even though it's super underrated and honestly even though it's a big game it was honestly a good choice to have this be the first Wario game to be included in the Gameboy Online Pack. Heck even rewind helped avoid most of the pitfalls this game does, Also I did do a time attack challenge where I did every level and got every key in menu order and posted the times on twitter where you can attempt the challenge yourself and try to beat my times;
There's a trick in W2 I discovered to save a ton of time. You can actually get both the green and red keys in one trip to the clifftop and you only need to ride the minecart once. After getting the green key, jump off the ledge to the right and you'll land on another platform below, then do a jump attack to the right and grab the red key on your way down
I really liked the game when I played it but after beating the clown I tried to get the treasure I was missing and it was too overwhelming, I never completed it, now I can't wait for the review of Wario Land 4, my favorite Wario Land game.
This has great potential for a remaster. Just update the textures and colors a little, add a better indicator for that last coin, and make sure the controls are smooth, and bingo. I'd totally give it a whirl!
Hey hey, Goomba, just wanted to say that I love your content, even the underviewed videos. I wish someone like you got more attention as you very much deserve it! Thank you for making these entertaining videos despite all that. I always look forward to your next video. Just wanted to give my thanks to you.
Incredible video. 👍I didn't expect you to get all the Treasures. But you actually did it. I didn't like this game when I was a kid. But when I played it as an adult. I thought it was a Wonderful adventure. It's like being on a long pirate journey. Looking for treasure everywhere😁❤
God I love this game, I don't think I've ever enjoyed a game in the same way since, I couldn't help but want to 100%, every level was so cleverly designed, the music was great (fun fact, same composer as "Link's Awakening" another game about a music box and dream world) A tip for anyone playing for the first time though, You don't have to go into the temple to see what's the next level every time, just press UP when you're on the tile for the Temple, real time saver

@@captainhydrodus4616 wait what?!?!
Honestly, am I the only one who thinks Rudy is fairly underrated? He's the one enemy in the entire game who can kill Wario for crying out loud!
agree
This is true. But I think it is less he kills him and more he uses Wario as an eternal stress ball. Oh the humanity!
I loved the game as a kid back when I was 11 years old
also I love snakes 6:09
Not a huge fan of his design, he’s pretty generic clown design. Maybe if they change it up it be nice to see him again.

He finally did it lads! He's finally reviewing Wario Land 3!😊
wario land is a childhood banger, thank you for doing it a service!
It's funny how this game share similarities with Link's Awakening. The protagonist wakes up in a strange world and needs to awaken a deity with music boxes to escape.
I love how the first three wario land gameboy games feels different. Each one brings something new to the table.
If you think about it, this games plot is kinda similar to another game boy game:
The protagonist is trapped in a weird unfamiliar world, and the only way out is to collect a certain amount of musical items. Said items are used to free a powerful deity that had some major influence on the world.
I recommend 'labyrinth' as a replacement for 'Metroidvania' since it actually describes the maps you traverse in the genre.
But Pac-Man isn’t a metroidvania
Metroidvania isn't just exploring labyrinths. It's also upgrading your character's abilities to expand how much of the labyrinth you can explore.
Just 100%'d this on NSO a few days ago and been waiting for this video to drop! Did not disappoint! Also loved the Killer Klowns reference!
I can't wait for a Wario World Review Someday.😊

He then returns again as that scientist guy in Wario Land 4, who you basically beat up and throw around to solve puzzles in the bonus rooms.
So he's a random cameo from an obscure Nintendo game that started appearing in the Wario series for whatever reason, and has absolutely nothing to do with the storyline or world in either of them.
So THIS is where the Dr. Mario 64 opponents came from. As a kid I never really questioned their existence

I finished the game before watching this.
Not even joking though I would be so endlessly happy if you reviewed that Austin powers game
This was my first game that was bought for me on my brother's old GBC, so many memories it brings as this one is the one that got me obsessed with Wario (to the point i, still currently, prefer him more than mario and anyone else). The level style, progression, upgrades etc. Are what really made beating the levels and finding a new treasure and secret so worth it. It is indeed one of the more unique ones as I felt no other game compared to it, even though I really like the other Wario Land Games that I played much later in life they never captured the same feel.
Great video!
Thank you Goomba for having the dedication I did not: to get everything in Wario Land 3. I figured out what the reward was going to be for everything a long time ago was and thought "Nope! I do not have the patience for this and I got all the rings in the Oracle Zelda games!" It's sad because I love this game and it has some rocking tunes so I expected a sound test or something.
weird to see the channel keeps improving. props to you Goomba really like your vids
I’m really happy that the game being a launch title for GBC Switch Online is getting it more fans
The exploration in this game was so fun to figure out, absolute gem and my favorite Wario Land/GBC game! Glad to see it covered
Watching this through to the end, it now makes sense why this was the first Wario Land game to be ported to Nintendo Switch Online.
Walking and or jumping around to get rid of the fat status is at least a positive message for the younger players
ive never played wario land 3 but seeing that puzzle near the end where you need to get fat; set on fire and then become a zombie is crazy. i love wario land 4 a ton but that puzzle alone made me think how much more potential wario land could have
Keep it up man definitely enjoying my time as a patreon right now.
2002, my mom took me to Wal-Mart to get my 1st GameBoy ever. I got to pick the color, lime green and 3 games along with it. They were Batman Beyond, Mega Man Xtreme 2 & Wario Land 3. While Batman was alright, MM Xtreme 2 was incredible. I remember just spending countless hours...DAYS playing Wario Land 3. Like you mentioned, the game is huge and had so much to explore.
A few weeks into WL3, I remember just 1 day not being able to find my GBC, I was looking everywhere for it, considering how far I was into the game. I was so bummed out, in tears actually. A month later I end up finding it inside the couch near the arm rest, I pulled it out from there and was so stoke to get back into playing the game once again.
I eventually reached the Clown boss, being shocked that you got a GAME OVER screen from being caught by him. When I beat em though, I remember seeing the ending cutscene, being shock that all the enemies were the original villagers all along and relieved that Wario finally got out of the globe, rewarded. Then, when the credits theme started playing, I remember just crying. An amazing experience and countless hours of exploring finally coming to end, hearing all the music boxes playing together.
Overall, Wario Land 3 was a massive part of my childhood. Given countless hours of entertainment. It's 1 of the top, if not, my favorite handheld game ever to this day,
I was literally wondering if you were still doing content yesterday, shocked me as i hadn't been keeping up with you since.... i think.... 2017. Nice to see you still out here.
Awesome video and all, but.... Watching this made me realise something huge! I'm deeply confused about how wario games actually fit into the overall mario lore.
For the most part, everything kinda makes sense holistically! Yoshi's games tend to take place on Yoshi's island with kamic trying to cause issues on Bowser's behalf, The Kong's have their own places (also Islands mostly) that revolve around bananas in a similar way the mushroom Kingdom revolves around mushrooms, even Luigi games are set with exploring the more paranormal side of the mushroom Kingdom...
And then wario games come along and blow all of that outta the water. It honestly feels like each wario game isn't even taking place in the same universe since they are so distincly different to each other. I always thought that wario was meant to be Mario's rival, but I'm not even sure if wario even has his own goals?! Is he a treasure-hunter someplace in the mushroom Kingdom (wario land)? Or video game maker in some earth-like world (warioware)? Hero (super mario 64 DS)? I'm honestly kinda baffled really?! There seems to be absolutely no consistency!
What'cha think? I personally can't wrap my head around it at all.
The Mario universe is really strange so I wouldn’t really be surprised if Wario’s adventures just take place in some even more bizarre part of the world than the Mushroom Kingdom. And he just kinda pops up in the Mushroom Kingdom whenever he feels like it.
@@zingerific8209 You're right! There's even a kingdom called the 'Bean bean kingdom' where all the residents are literally beans... So maybe I'm thinking too much into it hahaha.
This was an excellent review. And I agree, I would put this as my favorite Game Boy Color game. The sunset of the Game Boy Color has some my favorite games for it. Frankly, it holds a special place in my heart. Especially since you know this is the true end of the 8-bit era.
Unrelated to most of the video, but I used to watch this channel years ago and the moment that intro came on so many memories I forgot I had returned to me.
Glad to see that TLG's content is as entertaining as I remember
Honestly this should be a channel that everyone knows. This is why:
He took a part of 1-1 (everyone knows 1-1) where a goombas stuck between two pipes (everyone knows both of those things) and started gaming (everyone knows gaming)
Your videos on the Wario Land series got me to play through them. I'm still working towards 100% on Wario Land 2, but this makes me excited to try the 3rd
I really wished they made a 3D platform Wario game that's structured like this, the blueprint was here all along but somehow Treasure preferred to make a beat em up for Wario World.
@TheLonelyGoomba, I'm curious if you've ever played Shantae for the Game Boy Color and, if so, how do you think it compares to Wario Land 3?
The scientist is the one who accidentally opened up the gateway to Rudy's dimension, releasing him into the mortal world. It's implied in Dr. Mario 64, that he served Rudy out of fear. He was most likely just trying to stop wario from releasing the colossal clown.
Apparently, he only has a invisibility potion
@@VoodooVDO probably because it's his way of evading Rudy's detection.
It’s finally time for the anticipated warioland 3 vid
This game was just me going back and fourth talking to the hidden figure
Definitely my favorite Wario, feel it's severely underrated (especially compared to 4). Glad new folks can experience it on switch, also considering it's the only WL game on there as of right now... maybe Nintendo agrees as well 🤔
gingivitis the clown might be one of my favourite sentences I've ever heard. Also I remember getting this game on virtual console back when it came out and now I have it on official hardware. And I've now finally 100% after almost 10 years
Absolutely love this channel and am shocked to see how few views the newer videos have gotten. Keep up the great work
Wario Land 3 is also my favorite game in the series and among the best Game Boy Color games because of everything you mentioned and despite the issues you pointed out in this fantastic review of it!
23:23 “I mean how? How is anyone expected to do this?”
Nintendo: “Oh we know a way~.” *wiggles about a Wario Land 3 guide book* 😈
I think this is the longest video you've ever made, I think it's best one too.
This is also one of my favorite titles, I remember fully completed this title in my youth and it was a blast. Getting lost in the world and exploring the world and remembering where to go after unlocking a power up, is just heavily fun. I spent months on that title to fully complete. I personally enjoyed the golf mini game.
The section with the doctor when he moved his arm up and down fluently was fantastic editing, it shows how much your content has improved over the years. The gag about gaijin goomba was neat, you two should have another cross over again as it has been a heavy long amount of time since the last one.
Might be my favorite video of yours so far. This game looks great.
He never fails to make me remember him
Though much more stripped back in terms of gameplay mechanics, Tails Adventure is somewhat similar in terms of having open-ended levels that open up more as you collect powerups (or different items/weapons in terms of Tails Adventure)
I'll admit it's probably not at all on the same level, but you might want to check it out regardless. I feel like it's very enjoyable, even to someone who isn't just playing it because they're a huge fan of Tails and desperate for a good solo game with him.
@@CooperDooper38 yeah i love that game. I'd say it's the best Game Gear game.
@@TheLonelyGoomba glad to hear it! It's been a while since I played it, so I wasn't sure if I was remembering it properly.
Might have to dig up the 3DS and play through it again.
I'll keep telling people, but this is quality content! Absolutely superb videos, still as enjoyable to watch nowadays as back in 2015/2016. I can't imagine the time you put into the editing and especially the animation!!
Moment of appreciation, thank you man. Thank you for making my day better, genuinely. Keep it up legend.
Personally, this is my favorite Game Boy Color game. Was also my very first Wario Land game too! I had it when I first got the handheld for my 9th or 10th birthday, and was obsessed trying to find every secret I could possibly find. I seriously wish Nintendo would remember this series and make more games like this again. While I do like the Warioware games, I just think Wario was at his best in his own platformer series.
GAHHHHHHHHH, that one last Music coin though... I agree. It was the single reason why I never got to 100% the game until much later and learning about it. How would ANYONE know it was hidden off-screen in the ceiling, especially with another Music coin already there? Definitely the worst way to hide a secret indeed. >_
I died when you called the Face, Mister Doobie. You nailed it!!
I am so happy you covered this, I have been waiting for this for years, this was one of my absolute favourite games growing up! It was fun, weird and creative, though it also scared me for some reason, can't quite tell why...Anyway, thanks for the new perspective you brought to my memory lane!
Edit: OH MY GOD THAT WAS THE COIN THAT NEVER LET ME FINISH THE GAME THIS HURT IN MY CHILDHOOD
i was just playing this game today lol. Aand yesterday. and the day before...
Execellent review as always Goomba, though i must ask, do you still plan on playing that Austin Powers game
The last coin reminds me of that last DK symbol in dkc3 on game boy like i played that level so many times and tried every thing!
I jumped into every wall hit every enemy,tossed the barrel on every wall etc. Untill i literally glitched trough a wall and ended up getting it!
It was the one level where you could get the spider i belive btw.
We finally have Wario Land 3!
Do you plan on doing Master of Disguise? It's a lot easier and quite frankly, I thought it was much more fun.
I know that Wario World was before, but unless Mario plans on dropping a GameCube and a TV, then it's going to be hard to play.
Shall cover every Wario platform game this year hopefully
@@TheLonelyGoomba I'll *NEVER* resubscribe you, even if I you did your thoughts on Jazz Jackrabbit series eventually
@@mariomuncher44 I have zero thoughts on Jazz Jackrabbit as I've never played it
@@TheLonelyGoomba Wikipedia has information
@@TheLonelyGoomba So Virtual Boy Wario Land and Wario Land Shake It.
I’m telling you that this game is a prequel to Warioland II. Think about it! It all adds up
I need to give this game a try again cause when I originally played it I personally wasn't a fan of the things it changed from Wario Land 2, like for example, Wario needing to unlock his abilities he had default in the second game. also I got stuck at one point because of the day/night system.
wario land 3 is insanely underrated ive knky seen a handful of videos for it while ive seen hundred for 2 and 4
Also my words on Wario land 3, it's a really good Wario game and honestly even though it's super underrated and honestly even though it's a big game it was honestly a good choice to have this be the first Wario game to be included in the Gameboy Online Pack.
Heck even rewind helped avoid most of the pitfalls this game does,
Also I did do a time attack challenge where I did every level and got every key in menu order and posted the times on twitter where you can attempt the challenge yourself and try to beat my times;

There's a trick in W2 I discovered to save a ton of time. You can actually get both the green and red keys in one trip to the clifftop and you only need to ride the minecart once. After getting the green key, jump off the ledge to the right and you'll land on another platform below, then do a jump attack to the right and grab the red key on your way down
I've waited weeks for this. Didn't disappoint.
I really liked the game when I played it but after beating the clown I tried to get the treasure I was missing and it was too overwhelming, I never completed it, now I can't wait for the review of Wario Land 4, my favorite Wario Land game.
This has great potential for a remaster. Just update the textures and colors a little, add a better indicator for that last coin, and make sure the controls are smooth, and bingo. I'd totally give it a whirl!
11:13 turn on subtitles and hear what Goomba says
It's FOOTBALL, not SOCCER! LOL
Yeah I finished this game on NSO not too long ago and I am so thankful for the rewind feature.
There’s still 2 Wario land games left, you can do it Goomba!
As someone who also loves this game, it makes me really happy to hear goomba say how much he enjoyed it too
Hey hey, Goomba, just wanted to say that I love your content, even the underviewed videos. I wish someone like you got more attention as you very much deserve it! Thank you for making these entertaining videos despite all that. I always look forward to your next video. Just wanted to give my thanks to you.
Crayons being an unlockable to color in a doorway on a GBC game is brilliant.
These videos are making me wanna marathon the wario land series lol
Finally covering Wario land 3, it's a Lonely goomba W moment
Incredible video. 👍I didn't expect you to get all the Treasures. But you actually did it. I didn't like this game when I was a kid. But when I played it as an adult. I thought it was a Wonderful adventure. It's like being on a long pirate journey. Looking for treasure everywhere😁❤
Wario Land 3 is one of those games from the late 90s and early 00s that seems like it was designed to be the only game you got for months
Nice Killer clowns from outer space reference, by the way “what are you gonna do with those pies boys?”
God I love this game, I don't think I've ever enjoyed a game in the same way since, I couldn't help but want to 100%, every level was so cleverly designed, the music was great (fun fact, same composer as "Link's Awakening" another game about a music box and dream world)
A tip for anyone playing for the first time though, You don't have to go into the temple to see what's the next level every time, just press UP when you're on the tile for the Temple, real time saver
