WarioWorld Walkthrough for Gamecube
-----------------------------------
FAQ version history:
--------------------
1.0 - Entire level walkthrough (100%) + Intro. All Item locations. Most
of 'Important
Stuff'.
Intro:
------
"Ah, ha ha ha! I've finally done it!" Wario chuckles to himself as he does some
exploring up his nose. Why does he chuckle, you ask? Because he's finally
completed
construction of his beloved castle!
"So, whaddya think? Pretty sweet, eh? The sparkling golden walls, the luxurious
chandeliers... And how about these marble floors? It's a wonderfully gorgeous
castle
for wonderful and gorgeous me. Hey, and by the way - and this is secret - the
lower
floors are brimming with jewels and treasures that I've pilfered from all around
the
world! What? You wanna take a peek? No way! They're mine, all mine! ... As if I'd
actually let you put a single grubby finger on any of my treasures! Please! I'm
not
even gonna let you look at them!"
Yes, Wario is feeling pretty fine. However, unbeknownst to him, something
terrible has
happened to his jewels. Sleeping buried under all of his treasures is a black
jewel that
all but wiped out civilization long ago. And now, on an evening where a red moon
rises,
the evil black jewel awakens.
"Huh? What's all that noise downstairs?! I was just getting ready to floss the
gunk out
of my toes! Gah! I HATE distractions!"
When Wario finally notices that something strange is happening, it's already too
late.
The evil black jewel downstairs has managed to engulf many of the other treasures
and
is rapidly growing larger and larger! And not only that - it's churning out
monsters
as well! Yes, that's right! It seems that the curse that this jewel carries turn
treasures into monsters. To make matters worse, the black jewel has decided that
it
wants to build a kingdom of it's own and is changing Wario's world into quite a
weird
place.
"Whoa! What the heck's going on here?! My castle's going nuts! Who did this? Who
are
all these weirdos? WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HAPPENING TO MY CASTLE?!"
After yelling this, Wario begins angrily stomping his feet. He's come completely
unglued!
But then, somehow, he subdues his anger, and while thoughtfully prospecting his
nostril,
he gets ahold of himself.
"Using my brilliant brainpower, I think ... Wait! That must be it! This is the
work of
that weird, black-coloured jewel! I thought there was something off about that
thing
the first time I laid eyes on it! Why, that arrogant little PUNK! It actually
thought
it could outwit the great Wario! Somehow, someway, I'm gonna take back every last
treasure it stole from me! Then I'll smack that thing 100 times!!
AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!"
Once Wario gets angry, absolutely nothing scares him. And so, after stuffing four
full
heads of garlic into his mouth, he stomps out in a furious rage to meet the
monsters!
For those of you who have read my previous FAQ for Ty The Tasmanian Tiger, you'll
know
that I enjoy this type of platformer action. Hopefully, if you found the system
of just
the facts and item locations without spoilers useful last time, you'll be in for
the
same kind of help and advice. I won't insult your intelligence (too much) by a
complete
step-by-step guide, but the less obvious puzzles and tricky bits will be covered -
along
with tactics for dealing with those devious bosses.
Important Stuff
---------------
Wario's Moves
-------------
Can't do much without knowing how Wario works. It's all covered in the manual,
but here's
a quick rundown of the big guy's powers:
* Punch: Press B for a normal punch. Good for smaller baddies and for clearing
blocks
or opening chests. All purpose, really.
* Jump: Again, obvious benefits include getting higher then you previously were
and
avoiding ground-based attacks like shockwaves. Press A to jump.
* Ground Pound: A necessity for getting into normal trapdoors and pressing
switches.
Press A to Jump up and R to perform the move in mid-air.
* Hyper Suction: Good for collecting coins quickly, use Wario's lungs for a clean
Kirby-esque sweep of goodies.
* Dash Attack: Good for those stubborn barriers that a normal punch won't solve.
Charge
up with B button or simply press the R button to perform a charging attack.
* Corkscrew Cork: One of the more complicated moves, use a Dash Attack and jump
(with A)
for a nifty somersault move.
* Throw + Super Throw: When you stun one of the bigger enemies, pick him up with
B and
press B again to throw it around. It also works with various objects, such as
stone
heads and pillars. Hold B down while holding something to throw it helluva far.
* Piledriver: A cool move, piledrivers are useful for a massive downward attack,
especially useful against those steel trapdoors that are immune to Ground Pounds.
Simply
hold an enemy and jump (with A) and press R to pull it off.
* Wild Swing-Ding: While holding an enemy, spin the control stick around
clockwise or
counter-clockwise to perform this baddie-clearing move. This is good for hitting
larger
baddies (who require many hits to KO). Also useful for opening gates with a
spinner
switch. Press B to throw your enemy and stop spinning.
Collectibles
------------
Look out for these on each of the eight stages. I'll try to make sure you get
them all.
TREASURES: Littered on each level are 8 switches and platforms of different
colours.
The idea is to find the switch and hit it, and then locate the treasure chest that
appears on a platform of the same colour. You should then punch open the chest
and grab
one of Wario's much beloved treasures. 8 to collect. For every level you collect
all the
treasures for, you unlock a minigame for the GBA link-up feature (see later).
RED DIAMONDS: The most important thing are these babies, and you can find one per
trapdoor. Usually, you need to solve some kind of puzzle or test to find it. 8 to
collect
per level, and you need at least three to open the boss room.
GOLD STATUE: You need to find all eight pieces of the statue for Wario to
increase in
heart pieces (health). 8 to collect per level, and they're usually with the Red
Diamonds
in the trapdoor levels.
SPRITELINGS: Something good will happen if you free all the Spritelings, but for
now just
free them for their handy hints. 5 to collect per level, in five distinct colours
of Red
Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple (in that order, usually).
STAMPS: When all goal requirements are fulfilled, you will get a Stamp saying
that level
is complete in the eyes of Wario. There are three stamps: One for killing the boss
('Boss'), one for collecting all the treasures ('Treasure') and one for
collecting all
the statue pieces ('Heart').
GOLD: Not a required pick up, but you do need as many as possible so don't miss
out any
valuable deposits such as chests, enemies or breakable blocks. You need 100 to
continue a
game after you run out of hearts (which increases per world), and varying amounts
for
Garlic Dispensers.
GARLIC: Often found in chests instead of gold, Garlic will replenish your health.
Buy them
at the various Garlic Dispensers in the world if you're desperate.
Enemies
-------
Bosses + sub-bosses and how to beat them will be dealt with in the Walkthrough
itself. The
names in brackets are those I'm not sure about (they're not given in the game,
that I know of)
so please e-mail me if you know a source for the names (like a webpage) or the
names themselves.
Magon - Simple fodder who appear on many of the stages. Just punch away. The
bigger ones
need throwing about. Type A enemy (you'll find one like it in each world)
Cractyl - Knock these out of the sky by chucking enemies at them, or wait until
they're
within range and grab them. They're weak but annoying if you're trying to jump
high
platforms. Type B enemy (you'll find one like it in each world)
Ankiron - These armored turtles are fairly easy to sneak by. If you're trying to
kill one,
avoid his shell cannon and defeat it before it goes defensive. Type C enemy
(you'll find
one like it etc. etc.)
(Triceratops) - These guys are basically tough dudes with sticks. After so many
blows, they
lose the stick and move on four-legs, using their charge as a weapon. A few more
hits and
a Super Throw is required to take 'em out. Type D enemy (you'll find one like it
yadda yadda).
Old Red-Mug - Not really an enemy, punch these guys in the face three times and
they'll
collapse, making a bridge to a new area.
Unithorn - Ubiquitous, unkillable and unbearable; Escape them by exiting their
domain as
quickly as possible. If one grabs you, you're going to lose coins rapidly until
you shake
it off.
Crystal Towers - These things trap you into their own little globe and use beam
attacks to
kill you. Grab one of it's underlings and throw it at them three times to knock
it unconscious.
At which point, the forcefield drops and you're free to defeat it.
Battle Rings - These aren't enemies per se, but they appear frequently and you
need to fight
as many foes as you can before a minute is up. The bodycount results in more gold
at the end
of the timer.
more to come...
Walkthrough
-----------
The walkthrough will work by bulletpoint, where I shall point out things as you
complete
the level. It should be in some kind of order which you can follow, try to not to
wander
off the path. For example, if you decide to go to a nearby trapdoor instead of
following
my suggestion of going left up a ladder. Of course, feel free to deviate from the
guide,
just don't complain about being lost later :)
To collect:
STATUE PART A-H
RED DIAMOND 1-8
SPRITELING[Colour]
TREASURE:[treasure name]

Green.)

down.
- When he is stunned, throw him off the edge and repeat process twice more to
beat him.
'Boss' Stamp + 1/2 Heart are yours once you leave the level.
Excitement Central - Greenhorn Ruins
------------------------------------
A little more maze-like, with the trapdoor puzzles a little harder to figure out.
Keep on
your toes.
* Instead of smashing the first block which you appear next to, climb it and hit
the
Red SWITCH. Then feel free to smash the block and collect 'TREASURE:Porcelain Urn'
* Smash all the blocks for the Yellow SWITCH and chest for 'TREASURE:Fine China'
* Free two SPRITELINGS(Red+Yellow) almost next to each other

trapdoor
for 'RED DIAMOND 1' + 'STATUE PART A'
* Free the SPRITELING(Green) before heading up the Glue Globes
* Climb up Glue Globes and head down trapdoor at the top left, watch out for the
spike
balls and get 'RED DIAMOND 2'
* Head south (towards screen) until you find the green chest and 'TREASURE:
Ceramic Vase'
* Head right to fight a mini-boss, use the previous piledriver/wild swing-ding
tactics to
defeat it and continue on.

to
collect 'TREASURE:Teapot'
* Use the Glue Globe bridge to get 'STATUE PART B'

set to
get 'STATUE PART C'

to 'TREASURE:Precious Pot'

Glue
Globe platforms you went past earlier.
* Behind the Ankiron is another trapdoor, go down for 'RED DIAMOND 3'
* Free the SPRITELING(Blue) and head down the nearby trapdoor for 'STATUE PART D'
and
'RED DIAMOND 4'
* Piledrive the next metal trapdoor for another 'STATUE PART E' and RED DIAMOND 5'
* Instead of smashing the next set of blocks, climb them for a Blue SWITCH
* Smash the blocks now, hit the purple switch and use the trapdoor for 'RED
DIAMOND 6'
+ 'STATUE PART F'
* Head up and go left at the Ankiron to find 'TREASURE:Lucky Figurine'
* Head behind the Ankiron for another trapdoor with 'RED DIAMOND 7' and 'STATUE
PART G'
Find the Diamond under the far left rock head on the second row down to
save
time. The Statue Part is under the rock head directly above the escape
spring.
Of course, the locations might change each time, so don't be surprised if
they're
not where they should be.
* Grab the next 'TREASURE:NES' (Yeah, that's very subtle of you Nintendo...)
('Treasure'
Stamp)
* Free the last SPRITELING(Purple)
* Down the last metal trapdoor for final 'STATUE PART H' + 'RED DIAMOND 8'
('Heart' Stamp)
* Finally, go down the boss trapdoor
LEVEL BOSS: (???)
- Hurt him with Punch and Dash Attack, he should take so much damage then turn
red.
- He alternates between his two berserk attacks; one involves coming at you with
his
scythe-like arms and the other involves him going to the centre and spitting
spike balls
at you. He's invincible both times so just dodge the attacks by jumping and
running around.
- After five rounds of attacks, he gives up his cash and you walk away victorious.
'Boss' Stamp and 1/2 Heart are yours after you leave the level.
Excitement Central - DinoMighty's Showdown
------------------------------------------
The first big boss looks like a tough one, but you should notice two things right
away -
The band-aid on the stomach (those of us in the know call this the 'King Hippo
Syndrome')
and the Glue Globe on his tail.
- First off, either aim several punches or Dash Attacks on he stomach are to
knock him over.
- Alternately, grab onto his tail (careful to avoid his swings) and wait until he
looks
around for you. Then, Ground Pound his head from your vantage point.
- Both manoeuvres above should stun him for a while. So pick him up and Piledrive
him into
the concrete to knock off a hit point. Five times ought to do the trick.
- Avoid the following attacks:
* Stomp (dangerous if near his stomach, he raises his legs for a warning)
* Eye Lasers (dangerous if away from him at any time, just run closer while
dodging)
* Swing (after grabbing onto his tail, stay put to avoid falling off)
* Ground Pound (after recovering from a Piledriver, jump to avoid the shockwaves)
* Triple Ground Pound (as above, only he does it three times quickly, happens if
you've
knocked off enough hit points)
Congrats. The first Huge Treasure Chest Key is now yours.
Spooktastic World - Horror Manor
--------------------------------
Shades of Luigi's Mansion in this level. It's starting to get difficult. Remember
to fill
up before a boss or a hard bit when you come to a Garlic Vendor.
* Right away, you can bust open the first SPRITELING(Red)
* Defeat Big Bone-Fist by Ground Pounding it after it comes down from a Slam
attack.
Watch out, it has other attacks too.
* Hit the Red SWITCH and see it appear above you, walk around to
get 'TREASURE:Candlestick'
* Use the ghostly Glue Globe to go left and find a Yellow SWITCH. Also, find a
trapdoor and
go down it to find 'STATUE PART A' and 'RED DIAMOND 1', jump through
holes in the
middle of the structure to do so.
* Down the path until you meet another crystal mini-boss like in Greenhorn Ruins.
They
appear lots of times in this game and the strategy is always the same.
* Right after picking up the miniboss, use him to turn the Swirl Slab to grab
the 'STATUE
PART B'. Do so by performing the Wild Swing-Ding while holding it.
* In the graveyard area, pick up 'TREASURE:Silver Candlestick' from the Yellow
chest.
* Down the trapdoor here for SPRITELING(Yellow) + 'RED DIAMOND 2'
* Another Bone-Fist enemy, same tactics as before.
* Hit the Green SWITCH. You can see the chest, but don't worry about it yet.
* Use another Swirl Slab for another 'STATUE PART C'.
* Down the trapdoor for 'RED DIAMOND 3'
* Climb the Gazebo/Tower structure and go left when you reach the second floor.
Take the
leftmost Glue Globe to go further left and get 'TREASURE:Forest Painting'
from
the Green chest. Down the trapdoor is another jumping puzzle. Make sure
you only
jump as the platforms flatten out, otherwise you could get tossed off.
Grab 'STATUE
PART D' and 'RED DIAMOND 4'.
* Climb the Tower again, going all the way to the top. Fight another Crystal
miniboss (just
'Crystal' from now on) and hit the Blue Switch when you're done.
* Jump onto the balcony with SPRITELING(Green) and continue through into the
mansion by
destroying the door knocker (avoid it's beams and punch it lots).
* While up here, get the 'TREASURE:Crystal Ball' when the beams stop. Also hit
the Green
SWITCH. Get past another door knocker while up here and free SPRITELING
(Blue).
* Get past the new and improved silver door knocker and descend down the trapdoor.
* Avoid the lasers and grab 'RED DIAMOND 5' and the Garlic if you want.
* Continue on into the manor until you reach the hole in the floor. Go left to
collect
'STATUE PART E' first before dropping down...
* ...Into a battle ring! Afterwards, go right and get 'TREASURE:Castle Painting'
while
avoiding the beams.
* Go left under (or over) spike traps until you reach that trapdoor you saw going
past.
Down the trapdoor is 'STATUE PART F' and 'RED DIAMOND 6'.
* Down the next metal trapdoor is another 'STATUE PART G' and 'RED DIAMOND 7'
combo.
* After you go up the Glue Globe cogs, keep going right until you hit the Purple
SWITCH.
After that, go as left as you can above the cogs until the screen turns
towards
you, and carry on round to find the purple chest and 'TREASURE: Knight's
Helmet'
* Go back round to pick up 'TREASURE:Gladiator's Helmet' from the blue chest.
While
walking back along the walkway to the blue chest, drop off the end to
land on a
raised area with a steel trapdoor. Descend it for 'STATUE PART H'
('Heart' Stamp)
and 'RED DIAMOND 8'.
* When you come out, go right and press the Purple SWITCH. Use a Wild Swing-Ding
to escape.
* Grab the last SPRITELING(Purple) and the last chest when beams
stop. 'TREASURE:Ornate Bag'
and the 'Treasure' Stamp are now yours.
* Nothing left but the boss, so go down there and show him who's #1!
LEVEL BOSS: Brawl Doll
- Usual tactics, find a quiet bit and pummel it to death. Super Throw or
Piledrive to
damage it.
- Each time you hit it in mid-air with normal punches, it'll try to slap you so
avoid it.
- Each time it is damaged, it will fire a laser volley at you. It starts with
three beams
but increases with each point of damage. They can also fly in different
directions
so be ready to dodge each time you hurt him.
- Smack him up five times and he's toast.
'Boss' Stamp and 1/2 Heart once you leave.
Spooktastic World - Wonky Circus
--------------------------------
Bizarre circus world. There's always a spotlight on our favorite anti-hero here.
Still
getting tougher so watch out.
* Head left and collect what's on the three platforms in the background.
SPRITELING(Red)
and Red SWITCH are your main concerns.
* Further left on more platforms, collect 'TREASURE:Bugle' and 'STATUE PART A'
and go down
the trapdoor for 'STATUE PART B' and 'RED DIAMOND 1'.
* To beat the Electric Clown Fence, throw clowns at the floating target three
times to
bring it down.
* Down another trapdoor for 'RED DIAMOND 2'.
* Before using the trampoline, drop down and fight Crystal again. Use it or the
clowns to
drop down the metal trapdoor.
* This huge turning platform looks intimidating, but if you hurry to the far end,
you can
stay on as it flips over and jump off where the coin trail starts (use
the overhead
camera to aim yourself down). Collect 'STATUE PART C' and 'RED DIAMOND 3'
* Run (or Dash) into trampolines to be sprung in the opposite direction. Use this
to get
acroos the other side and hit the Yellow SWITCH you find. Spring back
with the
higher up trampoline to get 'STATUE PART D'.
* Use the Glue Globe to go right to pick up SPRITELING(Yellow).
* Continue into the tent on the left. Here you can play a game of target
practice, but
you'll only get money so it's up to you. Aim the bombs at the pins in the
distance.
* Use the Glue Globe to go up, and pick up 'TREASURE:Tambourine'.
* Go down the next trapdoor for 'STATUE PART E' and 'RED DIAMOND 4'.
* Use this Glue Globe to hit the Green SWITCH and run away from the clown
missiles to hit
another switch. Back to the Glue Globe again, go right to collect
'TREASURE:Triangle'.
* Go up the ladder in the last tent, and beat the two snake charmer enemies
for 'TREASURE:
Clarinet'. Back down the ladder, hit the glowing trapdoor (make sure it
is the
correct one, which is on the left and metal) for 'RED DIAMOND 5'.
* Try going down the other trapdoor, and you'll appear in a new area. Go right
and find
another metal trapdoor for a spring puzzle. Let go just before it stops
and it
should propel you to SPRITELING(Green) and 'RED DIAMOND 6'.
* Wait until the fire stops and jump up off the Glue Globe to hit the Blue SWITCH.
* Go left and jump up off the Glue Globe to find SPRITELING(Blue).
* Carry on going left until you're above the start of the area.
Get 'TREASURE:Trombone'.
* Hit the side-targets on the weird blue platforms to make them rise up.
* After encountering another battle ring, go up the left Glue Globe for a Blue
SWITCH and
up the right one for 'STATUE PART F'
* Continue on and get 'TREASURE:Sax' from the blue chest.
* After jumping off and hitting the Purple SWITCH, beat the Electric Clown Fence
and
backtrack to where you were before jumping off and get 'TREASURE:Drum'.
* In the next area, use a clown to hit the Purple SWITCH while destroying another
Electric Clown Fence.
* Go over the bridge and down the trapdoor for SPRITELING(Purple) and 'RED
DIAMOND 7'.
* Up and right on the Glue Globe, go down the last trapdoor for 'RED DIAMOND 8'
and
'STATUE PART 7'. When you come back out, jump off the left ledge for the
last
'TREASURE:N64' (Shameless..) ('Treasure' Stamp)
* Before heading for the boss trapdoor, head left off the Glue Globes for the
last 'STATUE
PART H' ('Heart' Stamp)
* OK, down the boss trapdoor we go.
LEVEL BOSS: Clown-A-Round
- Tactics haven't changed. The only time you can hit him is when he's without his
ball
and showing his true head. After dazing him, pick up and Super
Throw/Piledrive.
- When he mounts his ball, Either follow him across using the Glue Globes around
the ball
or stay put. If you chose the latter, stick to one of the outcroppings on
the side
to avoid the explosion.
- After he throws the ball and is on your platform, he will shed two of his
heads, which
will attack you on their own, and try to punch you. This is your chance
to hit him
back. Avoid the heads or just knock them off the platform.
- As he gets hurt, he becomes faster (like most bosses) and there are less Glue
Globes to
hitch a ride with when he moves on his ball.
- Five successful attacks and the clown will croak.
'Boss' Stamp + 1/2 Heart.
Spooktastic World - Duel Dragon Showdown
----------------------------------------
Two heads are better than one, they say, but Wario is going to prove that his one
is
better than anything with more teeth than brains.
- First thing you will notice is their shaky co-ordination. One head will barely
just avoid
the other one's breath attack. It would be a shame if one head were distracted
before it
could pull away...
- Stay away from the tails and the water if possible, as they hurt Wario.
- Ditto if one of the heads is about to unleash flaming death from it's mouth.
- The heads will sometimes spit out Glue Globes (so that's where they come
from..), which
is a bad thing as Wario can get caught on them and end up in the water, or worse
as the
other head sucks them all back in again, possibly including Wario.
- Damage the dragon by whacking the right head as the left is about to breathe
fire (notice
the cinders around the mouth before he does so). IF done right, the second head
will get
a buttload of napalm in the face. That's gotta hurt!
- After each hit, more fireballs fly out of the flaming breath which you have to
dodge.
- Also, the heads alternate after the third or fourth hit, so make sure to check
the
cinders round the mouth and start hitting the other.
- After five such outsmarts, the dragon(s) disappear and you get another Key.
Two Keys down, two to go. But it only gets harder from here on out.
Thrillsville - Shivering Mountains
----------------------------------
A very annoying level with many paths that can only be attempted once. You will
probably
need to use the ByeBye Balloon a few times to get everything on the level
(especially the
Statue Parts on the slides). Whenever the path deviates (i.e. you miss jumping
off the
slide onto the higher ground) the square brackets will point out what needs to be
done.
* First thing, use the Bunny Spring to hit the Red SWITCH.
* First slide, head to the left for a better chance of reaching the high ground
(which is
a series of Christmas trees).
[* At the top of the middle tree is 'STATUE PART A'. Head to the chimney
(actually a
trapdoor) and go down for a 'RED DIAMOND 1'].
* At the bottom of the slide is a Yellow SWITCH. Don't need to tell you what to
do with it.
* Head down a little to get the Red 'TREASURE:Nice Glass'.
* On a little further, find the SPRITELING(Red) on an igloo.
* Fight the Angler Mangler. This guy is almost tough enough to be a full boss.
The trick is
to beat the little barrel ghosts until they are stunned, and then
Piledrive them
while under the Angler's headlight. Twice more and it's gone. Avoid it's
ice attacks
including the icicles blocking your exit.
[* Down another slide, head left again to pick up a 'STATUE PART B' on the way
down.]
[* Up on the plateau, hit the nearby Blue SWITCH and collect the
Yellow 'TREASURE:Ancient
Chalice' over the hill (use the trees to get there). At the top of the
left tree is
'STATUE PART C'. Right at the top of the tree line (using the Glue
Globes) is a
trapdoor. Go down it for SPRITELING(Yellow) and 'RED DIAMOND 2', which is
done by
grabbing the edge of the blocks and then jumping instead of making Wario
pull up.
After you've done the above, Ground Pound the block near the bottom of
the screen.]
* You'll enter an ice cavern, and a battle field. After the battlefield, use the
Icicle
Mites to climb up by Piledriving them into the ground and standing on
their
backsides. Open the Blue 'TREASURE:Nice Saucer' (the chest won't be there
if you
missed the previous section).
* Enter the metal trapdoor ahead. Down the trapdoor, manipulate the switches
until the five
platforms are lined up in the center, and only the third one is moving.
Use them to
get 'RED DIAMOND 3'.
* Hit the Purple SWITCH as you move in the cave further.
* Use an Icicle Mite to destroy the ice block, and use the turtle you find to
destroy the
next one and so on.
* Find two trapdoors; one metallic, one not. The latter is along the bottom ice
path to the
left and involves hitting blocks in the order they flash for 'STATUE PART
D' and 'RED
DIAMOND 4'. The other has a SPRITELING(Green) and 'RED DIAMOND 5'.
* Use a turtle or the rock face to activate the nearby Yellow SWITCH on the wall.
* Down the tunnel you'll find a Green SWITCH which you activate in the same way.
Go back to
the Yellow SWITCH you just pressed and keep going left along the top for
the Green
'TREASURE:Ornate Decanter'.
* Going right, hit the Pale Blue SWITCH and 'TREASURE:Nice Cup' while being wary
of
Fattingtons. Go down the metal trapdoor ahead for 'STATUE PART E'
and 'RED DIAMOND 6'.
* Head to the ladder that leads up and out of the ice cavern. Jump off the left
ledge first
for SPRITELING(Blue). After which, backtrack and go up the ladder.
* Up here, grab the 'STATUE PART F' and 'TREASURE:Glass Decanter'. Hit the Purple
SWITCH also.
* Head right in the tunnel and go down the trapdoor near the exit. It should have
circling
spike balls and Glue Globes. Get the 'RED DIAMOND 7' and 'STATUE PART G'
at the top.
* Another battle field and Angler battle await you as you come out. The Angler
now needs five
hits with the Barrel Buster.
* Go right, and dodge the sledding Yetis. Grab 'TREASURE:Glass Bowl' before
hitting the slide.
[* Down the slide, head right (down screen) and try to catch the 'STATUE PART H'
as it whizzes
by. You'll need to jump to catch it and you'll probably fail the first
time (to your
annoyance probably, because it annoyed me the first few times I missed
it). You'll
get the 'Heart' Stamp if you succeed.]
* Grab the last 'TREASURE:Jade Box' at the bottom of the slide and get
the 'Treasure' Stamp.
Head down the final trapdoor for SPRITELING(Purple) and 'RED DIAMOND 8'.
* Now, either use the balloon to restart the level (all buttons are still
pressed, and all
bosses and battle fields are still done with) and get any last items or
you can meet
the boss of the level for the last Stamp. He's a little weird this time
round.
LEVEL BOSS: Winter Windster
- Your main tactic is to throw the rocks the boss drops into the Magma Pool as he
passes
overhead, splattering him with hot lava. After he drops, hit him before he runs
off the edge
and Piledrive/Super Throw him.
- Another tactic is to wait until after his powerful Magma Ring attack and beat
him up as usual
as he rests.
- Attacks to watch out for are:
* His Ice Beam attack, which freezes you. He'll come down just to headbutt you if
it happens,
so try to catch him unaware.
* Stare attack. His eyes turn red and you need to look away with Wario to avoid
the attack.
* Magma Rings. He sits in one of the Magma pools and creates shockwaves to hit
you. Jump to
avoid. As he gets more injured, the rings become harder to dodge.
- After five Piledrivers, he's a goner.
'Boss' Stamp + 1/2 Heart when you leave the snowy wastes behind.
Thrillsville - Beanstalk Way
----------------------------
A little easier, this fairly linear level is a nice break from the previous one.
Still a few
things to watch out for.
* Climb up the first beanstalk by ground-pounding the bud. Recognise the swirl?
You should know
what to do.
* Go to the first left route and free SPRITELING(Green) and hit the Light Green
SWITCH.
* Use the other ground-based bud to spin up to 'STATUE PART A'.
* Head up and left (the second left branch) and find a Red SWITCH to press.
* Head right along the lower branches to find Red 'TREASURE:Nice Goblet'
* Drop into the trapdoor here for 'RED DIAMOND 1' and SPRITELING(Yellow)
* Head to the top of the beanstalk and meet the first Tree Freak. To beat him,
punch the tree
once to knock the fruit down. Then, ground pound the floor to make the
fruit turn so it's
no longer dangerous to pick up. Hurl the fruit at the bud to open it and
quickly hurl
another one to damage it. The first Tree Freak has only one hit point, so
it'll die.
* Fall into the chasm here and activate the Yellow SWITCH. Head down the trapdoor
here too.
* Grab 'STATUE PART B' and 'RED DIAMOND 2' down the trapdoor.
* Return to where you started for the Yellow 'TREASURE:Violin'.
* Get back to the Tulipatooie, and go up the ladder for another trapdoor.
* In here, use the bombs to activate the lever while standing on the block, it'll
float you up
to 'STATUE PART C' and 'RED DIAMOND 3'.
* Go to the trapdoor a little further along right. Aim the camera so it's
overhead (tap C Down)
and aim for the two platforms. Grab the 'STATUE PART D' and 'RED DIAMOND
4'
* Drop into battle ring, getting 'STATUE PART E' as you fall (go back with
balloon if you missed)
* After battle, go right and pick up Light Green 'TREASURE:Earring'.
* Go down the stream's trapdoor, using the stone head if needed. Make sure all
levers are moving
and make your way across the gap. Collect 'RED DIAMOND 5' and SPRITELING
(Green).
* Pick up a Monstrous Magnet and throw it at the metal plate you passed earlier.
Go up to press
Purple SWITCH.
* Use the next Magnet against the opposite walls. When you see the Green SWITCH,
hop down and hit
it as you drop past. You'll land near a rock block so break it and go
down.
* Down here, activate L.Blue SWITCH and go down trapdoor. Make your way over the
huge object and
collect 'RED DIAMOND 6' and SPRITELING(Blue) on the other end.
* Up the vine, and collect Green 'TREASURE:Jeweled Sword' and 'STATUE PART F'.
* Back to the Magnet jumps, continue up until you reach the slope. Avoid the
goats or they'll
butt you off the cliff. Climb down the first part and activate the Pink
SWITCH.
* Collect L.Blue 'TREASURE:Tiara' while avoiding goats.
* Head down cliff at the end and collect another 'STATUE PART G'.
* Beat another Tree Freak, this one requires two hits on the flower. Climb up to
battle field.
* After battle, drop onto flower to fight Crystal. After that, drop down to pick
up Purple
'TREASURE:King's Crown'. Activate the Blue SWITCH on opposite wall and
get back to the
goat area for Blue 'TREASURE:Nice Scepter'.
* Go down the trapdoor and find SPRITELING(Purple) and 'RED DIAMOND 7' back in
the current area.
* Head back to the Swirl Flower at the end of the level, and fight another Tree
Freak on your
left. this one requires three hits on the flower.
* After it's dead, go right and collect Pink 'TREASURE:GBA' (Surprise, surprise)
('Treasure'
Stamp). Go down the final trapdoor for 'RED DIAMOND 8' and 'STATUE PART
H' ('Heart' Stamp).
* Head left and up the beanstalk, avoiding the spike balls. Drop down the boss
trapdoor there if
you're ready.
LEVEL BOSS: Spideraticus
- To damage her, get onto one of the Glue Globes she fires and jump off before it
reaches her
mouth. Hopefully, you'll pick one of the slower ones (it's random each time).
Ground Pound her
back and Super Throw her (the webbing makes it impossible for a Piledriver).
- Stay away from the webbing as it makes you very vulnerable to the spider's
attacks (you're
at half speed and can't jump).
- Other attacks it uses are:
* Homing Missiles (avoid by running away, they're pretty slow)
After two hits, the Homing Missiles increase in number, and they do so again
after 4 hits.
* Shockwave: It'll charge up and use the familiar shockwave to knock you
down. Jump
to avoid. After two hits, a faster, second shockwave will follow the first so be
careful.
* Stinger: A quick attack, it'll attempt to hit you with it's tail
stinger. Just dodge
easily.
* Glue Globes: Stay away from it's mouth when you get caught by these.
Use them to
defeat her.
- 5 Hits should squish it for good.
Thrillsille - Red-Brief J's Showdown
------------------------------------
Not a problem, keep your cool and it isn't as bad as it first appears. The name
is the worst
part of this guy.
- The way to damage Red-Brief is to make him charge toward you, miss, and teeter
over the edge.
Rattle the cage to nudge him in by Ground Pounding. Voila, crispy critter.
- He uses a variety of attacks, most are very similar to Warios':
* Fireball: He sends two slow moving fireballs after you. You can easily
avoid them.
* Dash Attack: He will charge power briefly and dart towards you. Run
out of his way to
get him into a tricky situation. After each hit, his charge increases so instead
of running at
you once, he'll run at you as many times as you've hit him, plus the original one
(i.e. four hit
points down, and he'll dash five times.)
* Ground Pound: He can do the same trick on you, so be prepared to jump
once he leaves the
screen after powering up. he doesn't do it much.
* Spin Attack: Like the Wild Swing-Ding, it's best to run like the
dickens if you're on
the receiving end. he'll charge up with purple energy before he pulls it off.
* Shoulder Charge: He leaps in the air and charges at Wario like a hawk.
Also avoid.
He'll power up with blue energy before pulling it off.
- He'll do the latter attacks more often as he goes down in health.
- 5 lava dunks and he's no longer a problem.
Another Huge Treasure Chest Key! Only one left!
Sparkle Land - Mirror Mansion
-----------------------------
Another mansion level, as if I don't make enough Luigi's Mansion comparisons.
This level is truly
weird, as it often forces you to use your reflection as a guide for your actions.
* Jump on the first rising block to hit the Red SWITCH.
* Go down the trapdoor and get 'RED DIAMOND 1' + 'STATUE PART A'.
* When you reach the end of the moving blocks, jump onto the last one and free
the SPRITELING(Red).
* Tilt the camera so you can see your reflection, and try to beat up one of the
birds to enter the
metal trapdoor. Down here, collect 'RED DIAMOND 2' and 'STATUE PART B'.
In order to stay on,
stay still as it turns and only jump when it slows down to switch
direction.
* Once you come out, go up and get the Red 'TREASURE:Big Mirror'.
* Use the Yellow SWITCH's reflection to hit it.
* Punch the cardboard lion to make it move, hitch a ride and get off halfway for
SPRITELING(Yellow)
and L.Green SWITCH.
* Beat the Terrible Picture mini-boss by the same tactics as the Angler boss.
beat up the Barrel Busters
and Piledrive them under it's arms. Two hits should kill it.
* Up the iron fence, get the Yellow 'TREASURE:Antique Clock'.
* Down the hole, find the trapdoor and enter. Use care with the jumps, and
get 'STATUE PART C' and
'RED DIAMOND 4'.
* Use the glass floor to find the Green SWITCH.
* Walk to the end of the glass floor for L.Green 'TREASURE:Gold Mirror'.
* Get to the end of the fence and use the nearby trapdoor. Get 'STATUE PART D'
+ 'RED DIAMOND 4' here.
* Head right after fighting the battle. While over here, press the L.Blue SWITCH,
take note of the Blue
square. Also, free SPRITELING(Green) and get 'STATUE PART E' and 'RED
DIAMOND 5' down the trapdoor.
Before leaving, collect 'STATUE PART F' on the fence.
* Head left and get L.Blue 'TREASURE:Bronze Mirror'. Hit the Blue SWITCH and use
the Glue Globes to get
back. Grab the Green 'TREASURE:Stained Glass' before jumping down.
* Go back right and get the Blue 'TREASURE:Gold Clock' where you saw the square.
* Down the first hole you see going left will be a trapdoor containing 'RED
DIAMOND 6' + SPRITELING(Blue).
To get them, hit the levers in order they come down (practice the
Corkscrew Conk which will be
known as CC from now on in the FAQ). Use a CC to cross the gap for the
treasure.
* Go up the Glue Globes on the tall column for 'STATUE PART G'.
* Down the next hole, go right for a trapdoor. Down here, use the three Glue
Globe launchers (remember
last time? Just jump at the right time) for 'STATUE PART H' ('Heart'
Stamp) and 'RED DIAMOND 7'.
* Going left, meet another Terrible Picture. Hit this one three times to defeat
it.
* Hit the Pink SWITCH here and go back right for the Pink 'TREASURE:Crazy
Glasses'.
* Drop down and hit the Purple SWITCH. Go to where the balloon is for the
Purple 'TREASURE:Gold
Pocket Watch' by suing the reflection ('Treasure' Stamp).
* Down the last trapdoor, use a timed CC for to get SPRITELING(Purple) and 'RED
DIAMOND 8'.
* Down the boss trapdoor when you're ready.
LEVEL BOSS: Mean Emcee
- Main tactic is to whup his ass until he hides in one of the cups. Play the
shell game and hit his shell.
He won't come out, so encourage him with a CC attack on the cup.
Piledrive him as he falls out.
- He'll use either a Cane Swing attack to hurt you, or a charged up Spin Attack
which you must run from.
- Each hit makes him and the shuffling cups quicker. Concentrate on the cup he
goes into.
- If you miss the wrong cup, enemies will come out instead.
- After 5 piledrivers, he's history.
'Boss' Stamp and 1/2 Heart are yours. Only one level left now!
Sparkle Land - Pecan Sands
--------------------------
This huge pyramid is our last level. A little confusing - and some truly harsh
trapdoor puzzles - make
this final stage a tough one. As if you were expecting a cakewalk anyway...
* Go ahead a little and find an enemy to pick up. Jump on the pillars at the
start (use the edge of the
level) for a Red SWITCH and a metal trapdoor to piledrive the enemy
through. Use the lever to raise
the center block and drop through to get SPRITELING(Red). Hit the middle
lever again to rise up to
'RED DIAMOND 1' with the middle block. The rest of the levers raise the
pyramid, which has gold.
* Head down the start path again for Red 'TREASURE:Ancient Ring'.
* Go back to the red switch and go right for a trapdoor. Use the arrow blocks to
position under the two
slightly higher blocks. When the blocks go left and right, they should
make them rise up. Use them
to get up to SPRITELING(Yellow) and 'RED DIAMOND 2'. Just a note, I doubt
my methods with this and
the next arrow block puzzle are the best, so easier solutions (or clearer
ones) would be appreciated!
* Head right along the bottom sand path until you find the Yellow SWITCH. Press
it.
* Go left up the ramp to get Yellow 'TREASURE:Ancient Necklace'. Jump down and
hit L.Green SWITCH.
* Back on the ramp, jump off to the right for the L.Green 'TREASURE:Ancient
Relief'.
* Go left using the Glue Globes and drop down where the wall is brown and brick-
like (FYI use the spade
looking enemies to climb up these types of walls like with the Magnets).
Meet an old friend down here.
* After you killed the quicksand monster (or avoided it), go south for a
trapdoor. In here is the other
arrow block puzzle. What I did was to lower the single block by Ground
Pounding it, and then I knocked
it left then right, against the pillar at the side. I then knocked
another block (one of the pair) and
positioned it above the previous block. I then Ground Pounded it to make
it rise. Before it got too
high, I leaped off and aimed for the center to get 'RED DIAMOND 3'. Like
I mentioned before, alternate
strategies are welcome. Also get 'STATUE PART A' here.
* Hit the strange bird statue to get blown up a level. You can get a glimpse of
the huge level.
* Go right for 'STATUE PART B' up here.
* Jump up the descending Glue Globes to the trapdoor at the top. Another arrow
block, but this is relatively
simple to solve. Ground Pound the arrow blocks and quickly jump off south
before hitting the spikes.
Get SPRITELING(Green) and 'RED DIAMOND 4'.
* Jump and hit the Green SWITCH and go right for a L.Blue SWITCH and another
trapdoor. Down here is 'STATUE
PART C' and 'RED DIAMOND 5'.
* Backtrack for Green 'TREASURE:Small Pyramid' near the first bird statue.
* To destroy the statue, hammer at the green lights on all three layers to
uncover the ladder once it dies.
* Up here, get the L.Blue 'TREASURE:Ancient Bracelet'.
* Go down the slide, and don't miss 'STATUE PART D' in the middle of it.
* Beat the battle field, and go left for Blue SWICTH and a trapdoor. To get
across this puzzle, hang onto the
edges of the spike platforms until they drop slightly, and use them to
get onto the next platform before
they drop too far. At the end, collect 'RED DIAMOND 6' and 'STATUE PART
E'.
* Use the stone pillars behind the battle field to jump up to the SPRITELING
(Blue).
* At the fence, head towards the screen (south) to find Blue 'TREASURE:Anubis
Statue'.
* Head up the left and make a few jumps to a trapdoor. In here find a very
difficult jumping puzzle. You have
to run onto the mallow block, and then Dash + CC combo off the block
before it vanishes to hit the
lever. It will take you a few attempts, believe me. Up here, dodge the
falling blocks for 'STATUE PART F'
and 'RED DIAMOND 7'.
* Go higher up and left to hit the Purple SWITCH. Before going up the stairs, go
past them to find an alcove
with 'STATUE PART G'.
* In this trapdoor is the hardest area in the game. You need to be careful as
there are lots of jumps to make
in this huge area of blocks. Occasionally, you'll need to make a CC jump
to get across so be extra careful
on those jumps. Use the tall maze-like area to get higher up. Continue
along the platforms, and when you
reach a dead end, look down for a platform with the last SPRITELING
(Purple) in the game. Look down again
to find the 'RED DIAMOND 8' platform.
* Once you leave that hellhole, hit the Pink SWITCH nearby.
* Grab the last 'STATUE PART H' ever on the Glue Globe waterfall ('Heart' Stamp)
* Use the spade enemies as before to climb the wall. You'll need all three to
reach the top.
* Finally, you've reached the top. Collect the chests, Purple 'TREASURE:Monarch
Mask' and Pink
'TREASURE:Nintendo GameCube' (Wario's prized possession no doubt :) )
('Treasure' Stamp). Destroy the
second statue to continue up to Boss.
LEVEL BOSS: Ironsider
- The way to beat him is to beat up the hands and Super Throw them at the
invincible head.
- Both the hands and head have an attack or two. The head will bounce around
creating shockwaves. He'll
also do a spinning flame breath attack, which you must run around the head to
avoid. The hands will
attack by slamming and picking you up. Jiggle the control stick to avoid the
latter.
- After two hits, the head will use a stronger shockwave attack and the flame
breath will be quicker and
will circle twice.
- After five hits, he's history.
'Boss' Stamp and final 1/2 Heart have now been acquired.
Sparkle Land - Captain Skull's Showdown
---------------------------------------
Penultimate boss. He's tricky, and you'll need those CC attacks now more than
ever.
- The main tactic is to get over there and beat the stuffing out of him. How, you
ask? Simply use the blue
spring to get up into the crow's nest, and CC over the gap to the other deck.
After he falls down,
Piledrive him.
- After three hits, he becomes invincible. If you try to attack him head on,
he'll use a charge up attack
on you. Pick up one of the nearby barrels and chuck it at him for a desired
effect.
- He'll attack using his cannon arm. His three main attacks are: Laser Cannon
(avoid it), Cannonball
(creates small balls with which to hit him if you're close enough) and Huge
Cannonball (see
where he's aiming it - either crow's nest or deck - and not be there when he
fires it)
- After 5 attacks, he'll return to the briny deep. Arr!
Final Huge Treasure Chest Key. Now let's go meet that Black Jewel and teach it
not to mess with Wario.
FINAL BOSS - Black Jewel
------------------------
Disappointing easy, and akin to Banjo Kazooie's boss in that one of your pick-ups
actually comes in useful.
- To defeat the Black Jewel, dash around to avoid the flames and free the five
Spritelings from their
crystals. After all five Spritelings have hit the Jewel, pick it up and Piledrive
the sucker.
- Try to outrun it's main attack of Flame Beam, otherwise impenetrable fire walls
will block you.
He'll also attack with Fireballs (slow moving) and his Rainbow Shockwaves, which
will have eight rings
(in the eight treasure colours, interestingly).
- After 8 such Piledrivings, you smash that Jewel into next week.
Congrats! You've won the game! Sit back and watch the Spritelings give Wario his
reward...

Extras
------
I plan to put mini-game details, and any interesting info about the game here
once I find
some. E-mail suggestions for this section. Also, if you get any alternating
ending sequences
(like with the Gameboy games) let me know. I got the one where he has his solid
gold castle
back.
Credits
-------
So far I'd like to thank:
* Nintendo and Treasure, for making another great little game. Even if it does
feel like Luigi's
Mansion occasionally... I'd also like to thank them for releasing the game here,
in
Europe, first. It's a rare privilege to beat the Americans to something ;)
* Anyone who read this or my other FAQs and contributed either help or thanks in
your
e-mails.
* I'd like to thank anyone in advance on details on the WarioWare mini-games
available,
as I don't currently have a way to play them yet.
E-mail contributions, extra boss advice, pleas for help or whatever you think is
relevant
to me at " [email protected] ". Include the game name in your Subject.
I'll try to
answer as many as I can (all of them if possible) and give credit to those that
help out
in some way.
