Eh, I'm with BP on this one. Let's move on to another topic, shall we?

Why did Wario go through such a huge personality change? In his firts few games, he was a villain, but later on, he was a comedic antihero. What's up with that?

He was never really a villan. He was the antagonist. As for comedic, most of the Mario characters ARE comedic.

Have you even played Super Mario Land 2, Wario's Woods or Mario & Wario? He was a villainous villain in all of those games.

Revenge man. He wanted revenge on Mario. And I don't what he has against Toad.

Revenge for what? He and Mario have been rivals ever since they were children.

Maybe he just hates Toad so much that he decided to try to trick him to death. It obviously didn't work, as Toad is still around today.. :)

I thought that plot of Wario's Woods was Toad getting lost in the woods only to find out that Wario owns them and Toad has to find his way out while eluding Wario's minions. That sounds pretty villainous on Wario's part.

Here is the first line of what the TMK page for Wario's Woods says..

"Toad must reclaim the Dark Woods from the grasp of the evil Wario!"

I'm going to guess and say that Toad willingly went into the woods and fought Wario and his minions out.

On a side note: Has anybody ever finished WW? What is the ending like??

Is that the SNES Wario's Woods or the NES Wario's Woods? I think they had different plots.

That was from the SNES description, but the NES one says the same thing.

Oh, and as far as ending, the closest thing to an ending is the last cinematic shows the giant Wario pop, revealing that the real, normal sized Wario was pumping up a balloon. Then I think he hops back into his plane, and leaves. Then you play until level 255, where it repeats over and over. That was for the NES version, as I've never played the SNES version

The Chef · « **Reply #806 on:** September 19, 2006, 04:55:44 PM »

The SNES version might be similar, except that the area changes from Woods to Mountains to Ice to Forest to Castle every certain number of stages you pass and there are no cutscenes. The furthest I ever got was stage 85 (which is in the Forest area).

I think the WarioWare games should be taken into consideration(If this has been brought up already, I apologize. I didn't read all 54 pages.)

Diamond City has an almost entirely human population, wheras Toad Toad is mostly Toads. DK Island is mostly monkeys and Kremlings. Isle Delfino is mostly Piantas. The case isn't that there aren't many humans, per se, but that most Mario games don't take place around highly human populated places.

Good point. Somehow that didn't really occur to me before.

Robert · « **Reply #809 on:** September 22, 2006, 02:09:35 PM »

Personally, I think that the humans in the mushroom world are nearly extinct, and that MarioLand (from SML) was founded by Mario as a haven/shelter for humans. In MarioLand, the humans could reproduce in safety and harmony.

That's just my theory.
