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.

Pros: - Twists like invincibility and transformations make for some exciting gameplay considerations
- Terrific background graphics, smoothly animated characters, and a catchy soundtrack
- One of the best Game Boy Color games ever released
Cons: - May be too difficult and frustrating for younger players

Rating:  - 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 ... Read More

Rating: - 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:  - 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 ... Read More
Rating: - 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.
