[TAS] DS Wario: Master of Disguise by IsaGoodFriend in  

Wario Land 3 for the Gameboy Color was technically a metroidvania. Wario Land 3 is a continuation of the sub-genre Nintendo R&D1 started with Metroid.

Looks like it’s on purpose

@@speedymatt1236 Everything show in TASes are in purpose.

This game was originally called Phantom Thief: Wario the Seven in Japan. The Japanese version has lyrics in the title theme.

Thank you!

Suzak Inc was a shovelware company. That's why this game is unpolished.

Call me crazy but I’ve always loved this game and the music and such. Maybe it was because I played it on a 3ds instead of a ds or something idk

​@@Austinator0630Currently playing that one and it's really not. It's a puzzle platformer

​@@chelvo56Wario Land 3 was made by Nintendo R&D1, the same internal team responsible for Metroid.

@@chelvo56 Having had played both games, I would consider Wario Land 3 more of a metroidvania than this game

@@IsaGoodFriend That's because Wario Land 3 was developed by Nintendo R&D1, the same internal team responsible for Metroid. Wario Land 3 essentially picked up where Super Metroid left off.

its a tas, there is no luck

​@@DegaGrayDamn, someone should have made a joke about it...

This game was made by a shovelware company, hence why it's unpolished.

I agree with most of those, as for A, I think the disguises idea is fine and as for H, I think it still feels like Wario (in the presentation and wackyness department that is)

@@Austinator0630 Gee whizz, Austinator... Feels like you've been trashing this game for years. As an old pixel artist, I'm gonna tell you right now, Wario: Master of Disguise may be unpolished, but it is NOT shovelware, my friend. Suzak was a tiny, humble studio and they slaved a ton of work into this project. It just needed more time, support, and proper art direction from Nintendo. If you need proof, look at all the different art assets in the game. Just wandering through the museum area (Episode 3) shows you how much effort they made with all the different backdrops, environmental details, textures and tiny animations (like reflective surfaces). Then there's the impressive scope of enemies and bosses with their smooth animations and wild designs. The art direction is messy, but there's some real imagination in some of those baddies, not to mention high-quality pixel work (these were the dying days of traditional pixel art, before Nintendo retired from it and started using cheap, easy, sterile polygons for almost every game). Finally, there's the huge body of writing and humour in the game, from the game's narrative, to all those terrific, jokey descriptions for all the different treasures, enemies, bosses, etc. (in the Coffee Table Book). Compared to actual shovelware, this game is overflowing with real heart and effort, even if a lot of it is misguided or unrefined.

@@klaymodopostoffice9885 Nintendo has a long and terrible history of throwing there IPs to questionable companies. In a way, 2007's Wario: Master of Disguise exemplifies a weakness that will ultimately lead to Nintendo's undoing.

@@Austinator0630 I know what you mean. Even when Nintendo takes a chance on a highly respected studio (like Treasure Corp. who did Wario World for them), the results are always mixed, for one reason or another. I don't think it will be their undoing, but I find it baffling that they've done precious little in-house since the early 2000's. You have to wonder how often they employ new blood into the company when they're relying on outsiders 70-80% of the time.

That's because this game was made by a shovelware company.

I played it and thought it was pretty good but that’s just me

the game is fine

Yooo, it's starman.

I disagree but that’s just me

@@ThaTickingTymeBomb This game has the misfortune of being made by a shovelware company, hence why it's unpolished.

​@@Austinator0630remember its the ds
