My 3Speaking Today
ā Hey, what's up, players! I begin here by extending, as is my custom, the most cordial welcome once again to my gaming channel on 3Speak. I truly hope you enjoy today's content, as we are going with our beloved antihero from the Mario Bros universe, Wario. In today's gameplay we are going to encounter for the first time one of Wario's most curious and entertaining forms, which is the Puffy Wario Form, ha ha! Which in today's gameplay will be the most fundamental tool when it comes to completing this Story 4 belonging to Chapter 3 of Warioland II. It is truly very surprising to see the large number of forms that Wario has available in this second installment of Warioland, and the best part is the curious way in which we obtain each one of them, since so far all of them are obtained under the influence of an enemy's attack.
ā Bees Everywhere. From the moment we begin this Story 4, titled 'Escape from the Maze Woods', we can see how said Maze Woods are riddled with these very annoying bees, which upon touching you cause an enormous inflammation in Wario that leads him to his Puffy Wario Form. During the course of this level we will also come across some pirate goons also belonging to the Black Sugar Gang, who will help us break certain blockades in order to among many things obtain the additional bonuses of the level, such as for example the additional treasure of the level, which by the way we managed to obtain as we can see at around minute 08:13, but not before having lost some 50 coins on a previous occasion š
ā The Puffy Wario Form. Also known as 'Stung Wario', and among some fans of the Warioland saga as 'Puffy Daddy Wario' (yes, in allusion to P. Diddy, lol), it is one of the most entertaining and even useful forms as well, since it allows us to float through the air and reach places that without this form would be impossible for us to get to. When one of the bees inhabiting the Maze Woods stings us, said sting will cause a strong inflammation in Wario, which will cause his head to fill with air and make him float, just as we can see on the cover of today's gameplay video. However, we will also lose this form when we bump into a solid object, as this causes Wario's head to deflate and return him to his normal form.
ā Mastering Wario's Roll. In this level it is also essential to use Wario's Roll movement if we want to take away the greatest number of coins in this level, which are always necessary if we want to obtain the additional treasure of the level and the final portrait fragment at the end of this Story 4. Said fragment, by the way, we managed to obtain during this level as we can appreciate starting from minute 10:50 of the gameplay.
Players, I bid you farewell for today, but not without first thanking you for accompanying me this far and for your support of this 3Speak channel. I truly appreciate it very much <3
