So who's gonna buy me the PS5, then? I mean, I kinda got my hopes up there and am in need of some reconciliation due to the emotional trauma I've experienced.... Perhaps you could, oh I dunno, just let me get whatever you got lyin' around the house! I mean, sounds fair, right? Everybody wins! (I'm fucking around here, but I do find it difficult to imagine a scenario where someone gets offered something like a PS5 in the RU-vid comments and don't immediately call bullshit on the bogus account. Like TBS is secretly perusing his comments sections doing stealth giveaways lol TBS like, "Here's your new console, and if you tell ANYONE about this I'll have to eliminate you, capiche?" The giveaway gangster at it again)
I don't care if this video is semi-ironic, I've always thought Wario was truly a great character when he's depicted the right way. Not only was Wario the first Mario character to have a fully fleshed-out personality, but he even got his own character arc, going from a jealous villain in Super Mario Land 2 to developing into a hero in his own right (exemplified by his befriending Princess Shokora and helping her defeat the Golden Diva). The Land games did a great job depicting Wario as a total giga-chad treasure hunter while also making him quite human. He made mistakes, he got into bad situations, he got humiliated... but he always came back because he was number one and he was going to win.
@@legendarymarston9174 they’re usually pretty great, I’d recommend checking them out. There’s a good variety in them too, so I’d recommend checking out which one is best suited for your tastes.

It actually stands for Worth. Wario is huge, so is his worth and that's why Nintendo is taking decades to collect the budget to cast him in a new Wario Land game (notice he doesn't sport the W hat in WarioWare).
What makes this even more inspirational is that while Wario is rude, selfish, and greedy, he isn't lazy despite his obesity. He doesn't do tax fraud, embezzlement, money laundering or any of that crap when he wants to get rich. When he hears of a place with lots of treasure that could make him rich beyond belief, he doesn't fund an expedition to search the treasure for him while he lays in his couch all day, NO, he gets his ass there and he beats the turd out of whomever gets in his way until that treasure is his. That is true dedication right there!
Wario is also quite the positive role model, being as many would describe as traditionally ugly. Disproportioned, morbidly obese, scratchy voice, and smelling constantly of garlic, but despite this he always attends sporting events and social gatherings not letting anybody get him down. He is his own man, his own creator… A God of War-io if you will.
Additional observations I wish had been made in the video: - Wario's confidence in his abilities are even more prevalent when discussing his capability of being harmed, and his innate ability to be healed by eating some garlic. When taking damage, Wario will shout "Wow!" out of what I can only assume is pure shock that something had both the audacity and the strength to injure him. On the other hand, when eating a clove of garlic, Wario's "okay..." is almost begrudging in nature. It feels like he's disappointed in the player for not having that same confidence, for feeling like they couldn't beat the level through their own strength. - While the Black Jewel was able to turn most of Wario's treasure into monsters, the statues in his castle were simply deconstructed instead. I like to imagine this as Wario's confidence being so immeasurable that even something in his likeness can't be transformed. See also, as noted in the video proper, the statues of Wario's head plastered around some of the game's later levels. - Wario is not above admitting his mistakes. If the player stays on the pause screen for roughly fifty and a half minutes, he'll cease his annoying little song and give as genuine a "sorry" as he's capable of giving. I can only assume that even Wario knows that if such a thing occurred it must be an emergency of some sort, and it is just as inspirational to see that he's willing to acknowledge a misdeed.
A full hour on the pause screen!? Now I want to dig out my old Wii and try that out myself! I loved this game when I was 12 years old and played it so much.
I thought this was a really brave choice for Team Silent - Wario clearly manifesting the nightmares this time around and having a grounded motivation of wanting to fart out God.
Wario's "I'mma number one!" in the face of all his enemies always stuck with me. Like literally giving life the middle finger not not giving up. I LOVE it to this day.
This might be a joke video, but honestly we could all take a note from Wario’s book. He knows what he wants, doesn’t hesitate to go after it and knows that he can do it. And he’s just a buff guy which is cool. Pump yourself up and take what you want from life. Hit the grind
I think it's great to see a person acknowledge that the gameplay can be a tool to convey a story. Wario doesn't need to do this stuff in cutscenes. He just does it in the game. The way he plays tells us everything we need to know about him. I would put Bayonetta in a similar category. Every button press allows her to display her personality.
It's one of the reasons why Wario Land has held up so well besides it's excellent presentation. The gameplay directly facilitates in characterizing who Wario is. He's hysterical because he's going through these weird and horrifying body morphs and he just shrugs it all off on his way to more money.
Yeah I’ve been really lamenting for the last whorl TGB’s “New” style he’s used the last year or 2 compared to his old stuff pre 2020 but this video is great. I would love to see some more edited content again I miss his old style a lot
ive always genuinely had a degree of unironic emotional resonance with wario. i think it's difficult to not feel that way in the face of such unwavering determination and charisma. thank you for only emboldening this feeling.
Wario really is inspirational. Self motivated and confident, unreliant on others. I grew up playing all of the Wario Lands and I'd like to think I'm such an adventurer now (pilot, scuba diver, hiker) in some part because of Wario. Wario Land games do not get old, they are absolutely timeless :)
I love Wario because he represents what the player really wants to do: greedily gather treasures, mess enemies up violently and yell triumphant catchphrases all the while. And of course because he's a badass character in general.
Wario appears tough on the surface but he's actually very caring and sympathetic, if you sit on the pause screen for nearly an hour he stops to take in what he's been doing, re-examines his actions for a few seconds, and actually apologizes for the pain and annoyance he might have caused the player. He THEN stops what he's doing and lets the player sit on the title screen for as long as they want. Truly an aspiring man
Wario Lands 3 and 4 show his caring and sympathetic side, too. People underestimate just how fleshed-out and deep Wario actually is as a character. He was not only the first Mario character to get a fully fleshed-out personality but to get his own character arc as well. He starts off as a villain in Super Mario Land 2 and grows into a full-fledged hero by Wario Land 4.

@@jamiegioca9448nah, Mario doesn’t get laid, he just gets a kiss. Imagine constantly saving this princess after she gets kidnapped and just getting a kiss. He was even friend zoned in odyssey. Poor guy.
I've always admired Wario's IDGAF attitude. What he wants, he sets out to get. He doesn't let even the laws of physics stop him from achieving his goals. And all of this, done with a grin and a smile. What a man.
The bosses feel like something out of a surreal fever dream. Most people would probably go mad or run away in fear or show some reaction but wario just says I'm number 1 and fights them without any sigh of doubt, hesitation,or fear. The bravery he has is off the charts.
I know this video is done mostly for laughs but I feel like it also does such a good job explaining why Wario is such an endearing character to so many people including myself.
Wario is the sigma male of the the mario universe. Doesnt care about anyone other than himself most of the time and the dude's always on the grind no matter what gets in his way. He's almost respectable in a sheer determined sort of way
I think that's ignoring his other appearances. He actually gets along with most people, he just wants to get paid too lol. He specifically doesn't like Mario, and that's pretty much it.
when i was a kid the hospital i was stuck in for a few months had this game and they gave it to me when i left cause i liked it so much, this game is GOATED
As greedy as he is, he sure knows what he's doing and full of confidence, from adventures, battling monsters and owning a game making company with his friends.
Beta Mario: works his ass off saving the same Princess over and over. Sigma Wario: Casually walks in, slaps your mom, frenchies your girl, takes a giant shit on your sofa and collects his money.
Lies, Wario doesn't care about slapping anyone's mom unless they're in the way and your girl isn't made of gold so he couldn't care less. Also, he's civilized, he knows to take his dumps in the bathroom. I will not stand for this slander of this excellent businessman.
What a great character study (ironic or not)! It also reminds me why Bowser's Inside Story is Bowser's own hour of storytelling glory. Like Wario, he doesn't mope when he loses everything - his castle, his minions, his kingdom - he gets going right away to get it back. His self-confidence is honestly really inspiring. It made me realize that Nintendo tend to do Bowser dirty (including the Mario movie).
Always loved Wario. The Wario Land games are bangers the lot, every one of them going in this fuckin wild direction. What a character. I love that R&D1 just got bored of Mario after two games and just went "what if Mario... but he's the biggest chad in existence?"
Game actually looks sick, holy shit. How couldn't i, a gamer, have played this yet? Extremely disappointed with myself but like Wario i'll keep my chin up and rise from the ashes, we're gonna make it boys!
And here I thought the most inspirational game would be some Sony exclusive with forced walking segments, dozens of cutscenes and some emotional moments with a sidekick..
Sad that you didn't talk about the final boss and ending that much, because this game literally started by Wario's greed and ended with him learning nothing from this and just getting even greedier, shown how he isn't satisfied until you get the best ending.
I've seen lots of people dumping on the Gamecube and its library lately, but games like Wario World are what made it a very special console. This mid-2000s hate has got to stop.
As someone who still has a 4:3 monitor included in my setup, I really appreciate that you don't convert your 4:3 footage to 16:9 like virtually everyone else.
A lot of great points and morales. Love that you could get so much out of a game like this. Not with Wario World, but with other games, I too often find myself reading deeper into the story and its messages than I ever think the developers intended. But for deep and story heavy games, but also more laid back games like this. Videogames are an expressive artform, and we can learn a lot from them.
I've been a fan of your channel for more than a decade now and this unironically reminded me of how to love myself more even if it sounds silly, I don't care. As they say we can interpret the art how we feel like, it doesn't matter if the intended meaning wasn't as deep as we thought it would.
Wario is actually quite a realistic character compared to other Nintendo protagonists. He's shallow, kind of self-absorbed and obsessed with small luxuries like food...kind of like most of us on days when we aren't trying too hard to be our best. I don't think it's at all silly that Wario would help you love yourself. A big part of the reason why Wario is a popular character is because he gives people something they don't get from Mario and his ilk.
@@cinnamonnoir2487 it's funny that Nishigama's comment is: "art is subjective because Wario is relatable" and your comment is "everyone recognizes that Wario is relatable due to his one-note design." One argument supports post-modernism and that art is only as meaningful as the interpreter makes it, and the other supports objective truth by saying that the takeaway is substantiated in facts and is reflected by the audience's love of the character.
Wario is the type of man the world needs, he gets shit done and isn't afraid of adversity. I try to be more like Wario every day, tho I know I'll never reach such levels of greatness and glory.
Thank you!! Wario is NUMBA ONE!! He deserves more respect from Nintendo, and it’s fans. His solo adventures went on hiatus shortly after he decided to found his own company. I hope he takes a break and goes on some escape to a pyramid in a jungle or some other treasure fetch quest yet again someday!
Unexpected, hilarious and amazing! Back-to-back with the Silent Hill 3 analysis, no less. What a damn legend! I support further brief one-offs like this whenever you feel like it and come up with one. It's also a plus that I'd forgotten about Warioworld for a while and yeah man, is it fun.
Wario is my favorite character. Just seeing him around makes me laugh because I'm always wondering what will he do next. As you said, Wario is a Mario that is NOT holding back. He can get away with the most outrageous antics because he knows he has nobody to answer to. Also, he seems to usually face meaner and stronger enemies than Mario more often, enemies that would crush Mario's self-esteem because he doesn't have the same level of narcissism that one can only acquire by being an obese strongman garlic-eating asshole. *Wario is the best Mario.*
Good video. Hope you read this. I know your semi-ironic point was that its about persistence. But MAN did you characterize Wario's personality vs. this game SO WELL. When I was a kid playing this these "hellish alternate-dimensional" monsters were so weird and scary, and the setting so foreign and threatening that I was scared at first. But its Wario: his personality, confidence, moxy, just made it possible for me to punch these monsters and fight them on equal ground. Found this video and clicked it both on whims. Glad it was uniquely insightful! :D
It took awhile for the thumbnail to load for me, so seeing fuckin Wario show up after 10 seconds of waiting for "The Most Inspirational Video Game" to appear was quite interesting
Wario doesn't sound like he just got off a tough day at work when beating a level... He sounds and walks out like he just took a long dump. This is basically second nature to him.
>Lost riches >Found himself in some strange unknown universe >beat up everyone >got his treasures back >refuses to elaborate further >leaves Wario is the epitome of the Sigma male grindset.
It's too late now, but I was hoping for Wario's 30th anniversary, we could've gotten a year of Wario similar to how we got the year of Luigi. But like, spoof games.
God I wish every Mario character got the same treatment Wario did in Wario World. The last one was... Luigi's Mansion? Super Princess Peach (which is a joke compared to Wario World).
Wario is so much inspiring that he inspired kids to become legends like him, like that kid Stephen, who got to finally unleash his gigachadness with a Wario steam!
The whole thing about Wario losing everything that he had and be transported into another dimension, and just get back up as if nothing had happened to him shows you how much of a badass Wario is.
There's this video by someone called "geno7" who made a video about Wario Land 4's music and sound design, where he talks briefly about Wario World and how it's his personal favorite Wario game. He says there's this sort of "toughness" to Wario exemplified in this game, moreso than any other Wario game, that is kind of missing from the more modern WarioWare titles. I agree, Wario's a goofball, but he's also kind of a badass, and this game manages to perfectly balance how goofy and crazy Wario and his games can get while also showcasing how rough-and-tough he can be! It really makes me want to see either a remake or a sequel to this game...
What cracks me up the most is how Wario literally grabs enemies from over twice his size and just says “Get outta here!” when he chucks them away, like they’re just annoying kids
