Wario Land 3: Uncovering New Secrets After 23 Years!
Wario Land 3 is a platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Colour in 1998. It is the third installment in the Wario Land series, and was followed by Wario Land 4 in 2001. The game follows Wario as he attempts to restore light to the Magical Crystals of Peace and restore the end of story land which has since been taken over by the demon king of the underworld. To do this, he must traverse through five different levels. Along the way, Wario collects coins, defeats enemies, solves puzzles, and battles bosses.
For over twenty-three years, Wario Land 3 was considered to be a gem of a side-scrolling platformer. It had much to offer in its 3D environments, its vast array of powers, and its plethora of secrets. The game was an instant classic and still remains a beloved classic of the Game Boy Colour repertoire even to this day.
However, while the game still remains popular among fans, there were potential secrets and tricks entwined within the game that even the most die-hard Wario fans had overlooked. It wasn’t until recently, in 2021, when an anonymous YouTuber known as "Lord of Wario Land" decided to finally uncover these secrets.
Lord of Wario Land first started with unlocking hidden power-ups scattered throughout the levels of the game. These power-ups not only give Wario access to more levels, but also boosts Wario’s health and other vital stats. One such power-up, called the “Airtank”, is capable of granting Wario the power to swim indefinitely, making him impervious to spike pits and other water-related hazards.
Next, Lord of Wario Land explored the various secrets in the levels that have gone unnoticed all these years. Through careful exploration and experimentation, he was able to uncover a multitude of secrets, including secret doors, treasure boxes, and secret items. This even included secrets within secrets, such as hidden rooms behind hidden walls, and special paths that could lead to bonus stages. He also uncovered tricks and techniques that could be used to bypass certain obstacles or access new areas of the levels.
Finally, Lord of Wario Land uncovered special power-ups exclusive to the Game Boy Color, including the cleverly-named “BoxofCargoShip” which allowed Wario to carry items across larger levels and even briefly take control of a certain character during a specific section of the game.
These remarkable discoveries made by Lord of Wario Land have opened up a realm of possibilities for fans of the game. Now, there is a chance for die-hard Wario fans to experience the game as if it had just been released for the first time. While some of these secrets and tricks have been around since Wario Land 3 came out, the effort to uncover them is surely appreciated.
Although Lord of Wario Land’s discoveries have been largely enjoyed, it is important to remember that there is still much more to learn about Wario Land 3. There are likely still secrets to uncover, and until then, the game will remain as mysterious and captivating as ever. Regardless, it is thanks to Lord of Wario Land that we are able to play Wario Land 3 with a newfound appreciation and knowledge.
