== Gameplay ==
This game plays like all the previous Wario Land games. He can perform his trademark shoulder bash and even charge it up to go through enemies much easier. He can perform a ground pound that causes a small earthquake and he can also pick up and throw stuff, and he can also roll into enemies and with enough momentum, he can move very fast across levels. Like the previous Wario games, certain enemies or hazards can cause Wario to react in some way.
Returning from Wario Land II, Wario can't be harmed by enemy attacks. Getting hit by an enemy only causes him to lose Coins. If he falls into a bottomless pit, he'll respawn at the last checkpoint at the cost of some Coins.
