Product Description:
While Wario was taking a ride in his private plane, the engine sputtered and he had to make an emergency landing. Taking refuge in a cave, he stumbles upon a magical music box. The box sucks him inside, where he comes across an odd fellow who claims to have been the ruler of the music box world. He cannot regain control until he finds five small music boxes. Wario agrees to help find the boxes in exchange for all of the treasure he can find and a ticket out of the music box. You take control of the invincible Wario as he travels throughout the kingdom. Even though Wario is invincible, enemies still pose a problem. When a bad guy hits him, Wario will be afflicted with some temporary effect. Utilizing these side effects is key to solving some of the game's more challenging puzzles. Help Wario find treasure and maybe a music box or two in WARIO LAND 3.

Editorial Review:
The Wario Land series stands as one of the most innovative on the Game Boy Color, and with each new release we are left wondering how Nintendo is going to top itself with subsequent releases. Somehow they've managed to improve on the game's magical formula once again with Wario Land 3, which is not only the best Wario game ever released, but also one of the best Game Boy Color games, period.

Most games require cheat codes before players get unlimited lives, but the gameplay of Wario Land 3 revolves around the concept of invincibility. Wario can't die, but the various creatures in the game can transform him temporarily into an alternate form. Get hit by a zombie, and you turn into a zombie until you are healed by light from a street lamp. Let the mad professor hit you with his potion and you become invisible, meaning security cameras can't see you, but you also can't see yourself to make precision jumps. Each alternate form has a specific strength and weakness, and figuring out how to use the transformations to solve puzzles is half of the game's fun. It may seem counterintuitive, but to succeed at this game you'll need to deliberately try to get hit by certain enemies at various points in the game. Is this the anti-Mario, or what?

The graphics are clear and colorful, and the animations for both Wario and the other denizens of the land he's trapped in are very fluid. The sound effects are so-so, but the strange soundtracks that play on each level are catchy. Considering the limitations of the Game Boy Color, it's nice to have a game that combines some of the best graphics the system can output with some of the most phenomenal gameplay ever developed for any title. --T.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Game on GameBoy Color!!
I got this game for Christmas a few years ago. I didn't want the game really, but I received it anyway, and I'm glad that I did. This game so much fun, that I have kept my GameBoy Color just so I can play this game. Yes, I know that you can play GameBoy Color games on GameBoy Advance or SP, but I don't feel like buying a GameBoy Advance or SP. Anyway, for a GameBoy Color game, this game has great graphics! When you start playing this game, you only have certain abilities. As you progess through the game, you unlock more places to go to and more powers for you to use. One thing that's great about this game is that you can't die. So, don't worry about getting killed! For each place in this game, there are four treasure chests to unlock. The object of this game is to find five music boxes. Trust me, it's not that hard. So, overall, this game is awesome! This game is most likely one of the best GameBoy Color games ever made. Buy This Game! IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not as good as the first one but it surprizingly beats 4
I remember my friend who had wario land (mario land 3) an it was aswome! Then later i wanted to get the game but they didnt have it funcoland (gamestop)and wario land didnt come out yet (not even a gba, i was like 9 when this happened and im 12 now) an i had a blast when buying a used copy of this game! it has awsome graphics and the only thing wario land 4 beats this game on is the music but they both have cool music an i may have liked this the most over 1 but i hate the insanly difficult golf thing! it drives me mad! i beat all wario land games (my friend has 1 an 2 an i have 3 an 4 lol) an ya they are all great so even if u only have 1 warioland game an cant possibly get the others, just have fun with it!

Pros.

Perdy visuals
fun puzzles
immortal
longer than other warioland games (when u get ALL treasures)
turn into different stuff
fun replay
story easy to understand whether you have the instructions guide or not an story has fun twists (you will NEVER guess who the last boss is)

CONS

hard golf mini game can drive any player crazy
collecting all treasures is fun to do again an again (bring on the road/planetrips)
...

Get this game wether u played a wario land game or not end of story!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER!!
This is an awesome game. I do not own it but I have played my friends game. If you are looking for a fun and challenging game then you should get Wario Land 3. Even though I do not own the game, I am going to buy it soon. This is one of the best video games ever and you should definetly get it.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Weakest link...
The concept of making Wario immortal was, in my opinion, a stroke of genius, and handled flawlessly in Warioland 2. In this game, however, it wears thin very quickly, especially in the Boss battles, where one hit is often enough to send Wario flying off the screen, making it almost impossible to beat any given boss in less then seven tries.

The game's level design must've looked good on paper, but is very poorly executed. You must go through each stage four or five times to find all the keys, chests and tresaures. Time of day is factored as well, and after finding a tresure almost every stage in the game is radically changed. For example, find the seeds in one level, and now there are huge vines growing everywhere in the levels you've already completed, allowing access to new areas and items. It can get very repetitives very quickly.

Also, for some reason, Warioland 3 has the worst graphics of the series. The first game even looks better. Backgrounds are almost nonexistant, textures are bland, and, although this game was the first made specifically for the Game Boy Color, Wario is made up of only two colors. Huh?

On top of all of this, you must track down your abilities, which Wario seems to have lost since the end of the last game. While this system worked wonders in Metroid Fusion, it's tedious and unnecissary in this game, the weakest of the otherwise outstanding Wario series.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best game I have ever played...!?!?
The most awful mistake I have ever made as a gamer was selling my copy of Warioland 3. This is the most addictive game of all time. Period. No question...hands down...best.
