Treasure and Nintendo 3D beat 'em up around Wario. Short colourful levels, properly crass humour and fun power-up mechanics. Less inspired than the WarioWare entries but pleasant, and it carries the Treasure mark anyway. A GameCube curio of its own.

Description
Wario explores a theme park and battles bosses to recover his treasure in this Nintendo GameCube Wario World. Published by Nintendo, released in Japan in September 2003. 3D action-adventure with Wario using brute force attacks, treasures to collect and thematic park bosses.
The Japanese version of Wario World, a 3D brawler by Treasure, the title's first release on the Japanese market. Its greater scarcity than the Western versions and the signature of the Treasure studio, revered by connoisseurs, make it a collector target. The object combines the appeal of a cult developer and that of Nintendo's anti-hero, sought in its original Japanese box for its local marking and discreet run.
