Wario Land - Super Mario Land 3 Color Edition

What is Wario Land - Super Mario Land 3 Color Edition?

Wario Land - Super Mario Land 3 Color Edition is a vibrant reimagining of the classic Game Boy platformer featuring Mario’s greedy rival, Wario. This enhanced version adds full color graphics to the original monochrome adventure, breathing new life into the treasure-hunting escapade. As Wario, players smash through obstacles, battle quirky enemies, and explore diverse levels to amass riches and reclaim a stolen golden statue from Captain Syrup’s pirate crew. Designed as a GB type game, it retains the tight platforming and charming chaos of the 1994 original while offering a visually refreshed experience.

2. Actions: Press Z key to run, shoulder charge (while running), or pick up/throw enemies and items. Press X key (or Spacebar) to jump.
3. Power Usage: Equip special helmets (e.g., Bull Helmet) to break blocks with a dash attack or Dragon Helmet to breathe fire with the Z key.
