The focus of this hack is difficulty and skill! It will test your precision skills, your reaction skills, your patience, and you may even have to abandon Wario logic to get past some areas! You may have to think outside the music box! (Get it? Wario is in a music box) The game actually has REALLY hard parts, and really easy parts! The parts that are hard ARE HARD!!
The first thing to be aware of are the skull tiles! They are actually the common warp tiles used everywhere in the game, but with a different graphic! If you touch one, you will return to the title screen! This is the “Highlight” of the hack! Saving and suspending (from the pause menu) are ESSENTEAL for beating (Not to mention COMPLETEING!) this hack!
Think you can handle it?
Story
Wario thought it was a very lovely day outside, so he decided to fly his plane across a large forest, hoping to score some treasure during the outing when suddenly his plane catches fire and makes a crash landing (his plane was totaled) into the vast forest… Wario wanders around thinking his day couldn’t get any worse when he stumbles into a cave with a beautiful music box on a pedestal…
Wario decided to try to wind it up and listen to it’s melody, but however much he tried to turn the key, it wouldn’t move! Wario, thinking that the thing was busted, turned to leave when suddenly, he finds himself in an unfamiliar location… Suddenly, a voice by a hidden figure tells Wario that the world he is in was made by Tiger21820, and that the hidden figure was the sage Tiger appointed to protect his world…
The hidden figure then explained to Wario that a wicked being invaded Tiger’s world, sealing him (Tiger) away, and that 5 music boxes were needed to release the seal holding Tiger and free him… Wario was told that if he frees Tiger, then Tiger would be able to return Wario back to his own world… Wario didn’t think much of this story, so he sort of shrugged at it, but the hidden figure then added that if Wario finds any treasure during this quest, he will be able keep all of it!
This DEFINITELY got Wario interested in the whole quest, so after some thinking, Wario gleefully agrees to rescue Tiger in exchange for all the treasure he can find! Wario leaves the temple and begins the most CHALLENGING quest Wario will EVER face! So what happens next? How does it end? A better question… HOW DID IT BEGIN!?
