|
| '''''Mario & Wario''''' is a Japan-only puzzle game released for the [[Super Famicom]] in [[1994]]. It was designed by Satoshi Tajiri and developed by [[Game Freak]]. It is one of the few [[Mario (series)|''Mario'']] games to utilize the SNES mouse accessory.
| |
|
| |
| ==Gameplay==
| |
| [[File:Mario_And_Wario_Title_Screen.png|thumb|left|Title Screen.]]
| |
| The main gameplay involves guiding [[Mario]], [[Peach]], or [[Yoshi]] to the goal, where [[Luigi]] awaits. At the beginning of each level, [[Wario]] drops a random item on the character's head, making them unable to see where they're going.
| |
|
| |
| The player uses the [[SNES Mouse]] to control [[Wanda]] the fairy and alter the environment to make it safe for the character, making it somewhat similar to ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2]]''. The character will walk left and right on their own, so the obstacles must be manipulated accordingly to allow the character to safely navigate through the level. There is a time limit for each level, and bonus points are given for any excess time. Each character has a set speed; Peach is slow, Mario is medium, and Yoshi is fast. At the end of every world, there's a bonus level where Wanda can whack Wario with a hammer to earn coins while flying in his plane.

| |
|

| |
|
| |

| [[Timed Block Panel]]s, which disappear after a certain time, are frequent. Sitting around is dangerous.
| |

| A level of ice; [[sticky block]]s appear. It is probably based on [[Vanilla Dome]].
| |
|

| |
|
| |
| ==Items & Obstacles==

| |
|
| |
| ===Power Ups===
| |
| *[[Star]] - The most common in this game, collect four of them in a level to earn a [[Extra Life|1-Up]].
| |
| *[[Mushroom]] - There are not many of these in the game, collect one to gain more [[time]].
| |
| *[[1-Up Mushroom]] - As the name suggests, these give the player 1-Ups.
| |
| *[[Coin]]s - The player can only collect these from [[Coin Block]]s, 100 of these will give the player a [[Extra Life|1-Up]].
| |
|
| |

| |
| *[[Spikes]] - can appear on the bottom, top, left, & right.
| |
| *[[Spark]] - A fireball that moves around on the walls and floors. The player can, with Wanda, shrink it into a small Spark.
| |
| *Small Spark - A shrunken Spark, it moves slower and does not hurt the player from the top, unlike regular Sparks.
| |
| *[[Pidget]] - A black bird that won't move (unless the platform it is standing disappears). The Pidgets can be defeated by a simple click.
| |
|
| |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *[[bulbapedia:Satoshi Tajiri|Satoshi Tajiri]], who would later launch the ''Pokémon'' franchise, designed this game.
| |
| **There was a mention of this game in ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]]''. When the player checks the Super Nintendo in the Copycat's House (at [[bulbapedia:Saffron City|Saffron City]], northwest to the Silph Co. building), it states that there is a game that shows Mario with a bucket on his head. Both games were made by [[Game Freak]]. This reference was carried over to the Game Boy Advance remakes of these same games, ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]''.
| |
| *A reference to ''Mario & Wario'' is made in ''[[Mario and the Incredible Rescue]]'', where Wario attacks with buckets.
| |
| *The Bucket Mario wore on his head is a trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. It mentions that "the bucket's M looks like a W when turned right side up".
| |
| *One of [[Junker]]'s attacks in ''[[Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' is dropping a bucket on [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]'s heads.
| |
| *Although a Japan-only release, the game itself contains no written Japanese in it whatsoever; it is entirely in English.
