Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 is a platform video game released for the Game Boy in 1993 by Nintendo. It is the first installment in the Wario Land series and the last installment in the Super Mario Land series.

Why It's Good To Be Bad

 * 1) This is the first game to star Wario as a protagonist.
 * 2) Wario can go through different transformations by collecting Power-Up Pots.
 * 3) *Bull Wario is twice as powerful and can perform the Ground Pound that knocks over enemies on the ground/floor.
 * 4) *Jet Wario is twice as fast and can perform the Body Slam while jumping.
 * 5) *Dragon Wario discards the Body Slam for a Flamethrower attack that mows down enemies.
 * 6) Detailed graphics.
 * 7) Heart Points now serve the role of gaining extra lives as Coins have a different role to fit Wario's greedy personality.
 * 8) Mario makes a small cameo at the end of the game.
 * 9) The game's soundtrack is really good. In fact, the boss theme even got a remix in Mario Kart 7. Making it one of the only songs from the Wario Land series to get a official remix (not counting Wario's victory theme in Super Smash Bros., which is actually original).
 * 10) The US commercial is colorful and sinister, despite being a slight rehash of Super Mario Land 2's commercial.
 * 11) The ending you get varies depending on how many coins and treasure you collected throughout your playthrough, similar to Capcom's DuckTales. The endings are as follows:
 * 12) *Birdhouse (Worst Ending) requires 1 money bag.
 * 13) *Tree Trunk (Bad Ending) requires 2 money bags.
 * 14) *Log Cabin (Average Ending) requires 3 money bags.
 * 15) *Pagoda (Above Average Ending) requires 4 money bags.
 * 16) *Castle (Good/Canon Ending) requires 5 money bags. This castle would make a return in Wario Land II.
 * 17) *Planet (Best Ending) requires all 15 treasures, all courses cleared, and your coin count maxed out.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) Wario moves very slowly in this game. However, this is likely due to the small screen size of the Game Boy.
 * 2) *This can be negated by holding Up on the D-Pad to make Wario hop faster when moving left or right. Be careful when using this trick as Bull Wario as he can cling onto ceilings.
