Wario Land Returns

Wario Land Returns is an upcoming game in the Wario Land series made for the Nintendo Switch. The game is a enhanced remake of the 1994 game Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 for the Game Boy.
==Plot==
Desiring to replace or restore the castle he lost to his rival in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Wario sets out to steal a golden statue of Princess Toadstool from the Brown Sugar Pirates and Captain Syrup, which he then intends to ransom for the money to buy his own castle. Along the way, he collects or steals any other coins and treasures he finds or knocks out of enemies. The game is spent by navigating a number of levels to reclaim his lost treasures, and has a significant level of re-playability due to the branched path that many of the levels take. In the end, Captain Syrup is defeated while Wario ultimately gets anything from a birdhouse to an actual planet or moon for himself based on the amount of treasure collected as compensation for failing to steal the statue (due to Mario retrieving it by airlifting it).

==Gameplay==
Wario Land Returns is a 2D platforming game. It is divided into seven worlds, which each are divided into multiple courses. In most courses Wario has to trade in ten of his coins for one big 10 Gold Coin to open the door to the next course. Once the player completes a course, the next course will become available, and so on. The game also allows players to revisit levels that have already been completed.
It has several mechanics that are similar to the Super Mario games such as the transformation system. Wario can also touch enemies as long as they don't have any hazards equipped, so he can stun or defeat them by performing a Body Slam, Ground Pound, touching soft-spots, or tossing at others.
===Transformations===
One of the main features in Wario Land is the various transformations that Wario can go through by collecting a Power Up Pot. These special powers can at times help Wario overcome obstacles and defeat tough enemies; however, if Wario takes damage when in any of the first three transformations, he will transform into Small Wario, who dies instantly upon taking damage.
Bull Wario - Wario can transform into Bull Wario by obtaining a Bull Pot or a Garlic Pot (in normal form). In this form, Wario can destroy his enemies and blocks much easier. Wario can also create a shock wave by crashing into the ground with his weight, and stick to the ceiling.
Dragon Wario - Wario transforms into Dragon Wario by obtaining a Dragon Pot. Upon obtaining the power-up, he wears a dragon-like helmet on his head, which allows him to momentarily spew fire from it. The fire works underwater as well, though instead of fire, the helmet shoots arrow-like projectiles. Unlike other forms, Wario cannot perform a Body Slam when wearing the hat.
Jet Wario - By obtaining a Jet Pot, Wario wears a plane-like helmet on his head, which allows him to glide for a while. He gradually descends until touching the ground, in which he can start walking again. Wario also walks more quickly and jumps higher with this item.
Mini Wario - Wario transforms into Mini Wario if damaged. He is then not able to Body Slam, and taking more damage results in loss of a life. Small Wario can transform back into regular Wario by finding a Garlic Pot or by completing a level. He can transform directly to Bull, Dragon, or Jet Wario by finding the applicable pot.

==Bosses==
Each world has a boss that Wario must defeat at the end. Here is a listing of the bosses in order, and which world they correspond to. Wario will not be able to fight bosses again once they are beaten.
Name 	World 	Description
Spiked Koopa 	Rice Beach 	The Spiked Koopa is a Koopa enemy protected by spiky armor. In his fight with Wario, he employs a three-pronged attack of striking from land, air, and underground. His shell makes him invulnerable to ground pounds and fire. However, he can be rammed into, exposing his soft belly. After three hits to his vulnerable underside, he is defeated.
Bīfun 	Mt. Teapot 	Bīfun is immune to head stomps and ground pounds, due to his horns and thick hide. He attempts to destroy Wario by picking him up and throwing him into the lava below their battleground. To defeat him, Wario has to throw him into the lava instead.
Hinyari 	Sherbet Land 	Hinyari is a large and bulky penguin that wields two vicious spiked boxing gloves, which he uses to punch Wario. He is immune to ground pounds and fire, but Wario can hurt him by hitting his head. He then dons a spiked helmet, but Wario can simply knock it off with a slam and then attack the penguin.
Funfun 	Stove Canyon 	Funfun is a giant stone head whose fighting style revolves around breaking blocks with his tongue, trying to get Wario to fall into a chasm, and spitting rocks. Funfun is immune to fire, coins, and ground pounds, but the rubble his attacks leave behind are picked up by Wario and thrown at him to defeat him.
Bobo 	SS Tea Cup 	Bobo is a giant bird which sends out two Watches to attack Wario. He must jump on top of a Watch and toss it at Bobo three times before Bobo is defeated.
Bela* (new) 	Honey Temple 	Bela is a giant bee can breath fire to attack Wario. He must avoid his spike and jump in his head 8 times and then Bela is defeated.
Zenisukī 	Parsley Woods	Zenisukī can paralyze Wario by touching him, and is immune to head stomps, coins, and fire. Zenisukī also turns invisible and drops coins that transform into Yarikuri Obake to attack Wario. Wario can defeat Zenisukī by tossing his Yarikuri Obake minions at him.
Genie & Captain Syrup	Syrup Castle 	The Genie produces fireballs that chase Wario around. However, Wario can toss the Genie's magic lamp so that it lands upright, producing a small cloud. Wario can ride this cloud and leap from it to pounce on the Genie's head. The cloud then turns into a miniature version of the Genie that blasts lightning bolts, but the mini-Genie is easily destroyed. After enough hits on the head, the Genie is defeated.
