Wario Land: Legend of the Golden Emperor

Wario Land: Legend of the Golden Emperor is the 6th installment in the Wario Land series and a big collaboration between 3 companies, these being the Gaming Companies Nintendo and Wayforward and the animation studio Studio Trigger. The game was produced by Wayforward, published by Nintendo and animated by Studio Trigger and released for the Nintendo Switch
Just like its predecesor, It's a Hand-Drawn Metroidvania-style 2d platformer game with all the mechanics that made Wario Land a beloved Franchise: Weird and charming friend, weirder and mean enemies, transformations gallore, treasure hunting, and of course, Wario himself. WAHAHAHAHAHA!!
The game also features some things such as in-game sprite animations hand-drawn by Studio Trigger and supervised by none other than the 2 heads of the company hiroyuki imaishi and kazuki nakashima both in animation and in the story script to make the wacky and nonsensical world of Wario even more wacky and alive than ever, new moves such as upward shoulder bash to reach higher places and a fart gauge meter where you channelize the power of your own farts to crush the competition and discover new treasures to become filthy ritch.
The games features full-voice acting.
== Synopsis ==
The game begins at Diamond City at Wario's house. After his last money-grubbing scheme went horribly wrong (this takes place after Warioware: Gold) Wario was sitting on his couch, watching tv and picking his nose like he usually does. The news channel bring a headline about Mario once again travelling through the farthest boundaries of space to defeat Bowser and saving Peach like the millionth time. Wario growled in frustration and envy seeing how his arch-rival in red has it all easy while he has to risk his life and think of everything to gain a single penny.
Wario continues to surf through the different T.v. channels, only to find out that he reached the limit of the channels his cheap t.v. plan can give him. Wario yells in frustration, making a tantrum in the process. Though, he remembered that he passed through his friend Mona's geography channel. He switched back to that channel, only to discover that the Diamond City celebrity with the thousand jobs was covering the undiscovered tomb of the once-feared Monarch Midas, once known and feared by even the Koopa Kingdom as the Golden Emperor. She continues to explain more about the tomb and how it was filled with all sorts of treasures yet to be discovered, but the traps are too deadly for anyone to enter.
With his mallicious light-bulb turned on, Wario found another plan to get even more money. He did a little training montage to re-sharp his Treasure Hunting skills and turns on his trusty purple car and drives through the tomb of the Golden Emperor, ready to loot the heck out of the treasure trove.
== Gameplay ==
The Gameplay almost remains untouched being a combination of Wario Land 4 and Shake It! Wario can jump, crouch, ground pound, grab enemies, Shake them, throw them out as projectiles and do his trademark Shoulder Bash. The Shoulder Bash is a very versatile move, as it can be use offensively to bash out enemies or flip them out to pick them and throw them, use it in mid-air to reach farther places, use it upwards to reach higher places and pick-up momentum to charge like an invincible locomotive, charging forward to anything or anyone that stands in your way.
Alongside the trademark transformation mechanic that makes wario changes his form and gain new abilities and weaknesses by either the stage hazards or enemies to reach more areas or make your quest harder, it also provides 2 new mechanics. The Fart gauge meter and the help of Nirvana the Silver Fairy.
=== Fart Meter ===
Debuting in this game is the Fart Meter. A special meter that slowly loads through time. By using many of the Fart Arts that you gain through the story, Wario can unleash all sorts of powerful techniques from his butt to reach areas that seem impossible and overwhel his enemies. If the Meter reaches it's peak like it's about to burst out, Wario can transform into his not-so-invincible Anti-Hero Alter Ego, Wario-Man! Making him inmune to all enemy attacks, his speed and jump increses exponentially, and gaining instant-momentum to the max.
=== Nirvana ===
A fairy made out of silver and with a heart of gold, Nirvana is here to help Wario on his journey, though Wario could care less, but she's helping him get more gold, so it's fine in his book. Nirvana follows Wario whenever he goes and can help him by stopping time, freezing obstacles and enemies, cast projectiles and even carry wario, granting him a hovering power.

=== World 0: Temple of the Golden Emperor ===
End Boss: Captain Syrup
Plot: Right after Wario travesed through the twisted trials of the tomb and grabbing as much treasue as possible, he manages to reach the tomb itself with a gold sarcophagous of Midas. He was about to open it to see if there's more gold to snatch, until he was interruped by a loud explosion that created a crater on the roof of the pyramid. It is revealed that it was none other than Wario's arch-nemesis, the pirate beauty captain Syrup. She compliments her rival for clearing all of the trials for her and now proclaims the valuables of this tomb now belong to her. Wario being Wario, opposes Syrup for taking HIS hard-stolen gold and proceeds to fight her.
After Wario proves that his wit and biceps were stronger than the pirate's beauty, he finally opens the sarcophagous, expecting mountains of golds and minus. But the only thing he recieved back was a group of 2 fairies. One was Nirvana, the Silver Fairy and the other one was Amber, the Ruby Fairy. The 2 fairies congratulate the 2 tomb raiders for managing to get into here, making them worthy participants for the title of the world's biggest treasure hunter. Wario of course, demands to be given his gold right in this instant, but Nirvana replies by introducing herself and taking the 2 treasure hunters inside the tomb, which made them land over the legendary golden city, El Dorado!
