Wario Land: Switch it Up!

Wario Land: Switch it Up! (known as Wario Land Switch in Japan) is a 2.5D platformer for the Nintendo Switch, and the seventh installment in the Wario Land series. It is the first game in the Wario Land series since Wario Land: Shake It!, and a direct sequel to said game.
==Gameplay==
Like Wario Land 4 and Wario Land: Shake It! Wario has a heart meter, and if he touches a dangerous part of an enemy, spikes, etc., he loses a heart. Wario is kicked out of the level if he loses all hearts, and loses everything he's collected.
Wario enters a level through a painting, which closes behind him. There is initially no time limit. Each level contains four Gem Pieces found within boxes. The only way to reopen the painting is to find a cage containing an imprisoned Pirate Goom. A time limit appears, and Wario must guide the Pirate Goom back to the painting. If possible, the player should focus on finding the four Gem Pieces before freeing the Pirate Goom from its cage. There is also a treasure hidden in each level. These treasures are optional, but are required for the best ending.
Another interesting feature to this game is the ability to jump between the foreground and background, similarly to Virtual Boy Wario Land. The game features another new mechanic; when Wario defeats an enemy, they drop garlic. Each garlic fills the garlic meter by an eighth. Filling it gives Wario the ability to propel himself upward by farting. This fart can be used to reach high areas, and damages any enemies that touch it.
==Story==
===Opening===
Taking place after the events of Wario Land: Shake It!, the story begins one morning with Wario watching the news while eating garlic. The news report says that treasures from Diamond City Museum have recently been stolen, and this gives Wario the idea to steal the treasure for himself. Suddenly, Waluigi runs up to him and wants to hear a bedtime story. Wario refuses, and Waluigi keeps begging. Wario asks Waluigi why he would want to hear a bedtime story in the morning, and he says it's because he's bored.
Wario hears something outside his house, and decides to go check it out. He sees a group of enemies vandalizing his house. Angered by this, he chases the enemies. Another group of enemies exit the house, carrying money bags, and Wario chases them. Wario gets into the Bulldog, and flies off. Waluigi exits the house with his tennis racket, ready to go on an adventure of his own. Wario arrives at where the enemies are, and starts his adventure.

===Playable characters===
Character	Description
Wario 	Wario is finally back for another platforming adventure! He retains all of his signature moves.
Waluigi 	Wario's partner-in-crime, who may or may not be his brother, decided to go on his own adventure since Wario wouldn't tell him a bedtime story. After the player completes a world, save for the final one, they play an interlude where they control Waluigi.
He runs faster, jumps higher and further, and has lower traction. Waluigi uses his tennis racket to whack enemies and counter enemy projectiles. He also use tennis balls as ammo. However, Waluigi lacks the garlic meter, and therefore is unable to fart.
