Re: Wario Land 4; GBA Ambassador
I think you can refight bosses for more chests, if you feel up to it....
Aerodent separates the people who want to 100% the game, and those who want to complete it. It's a clear point where the game starts to get more serious. You need to be on your toes from now on. It's also my least favorite boss so far.
You can hit him without making him rise, but it takes an annoying amount of precision. You have to not bump on the bear's head when shoulder charging him. It's really dumb.
Oh, and the next level is also going to be a thing, and is easily my least favorite level of the game. (At least, of the main worlds)

You can, but IIRC you have to beat the game first, then re-collect all the quadrant pieces in each level.Zephyr_DragonLord wrote:I think you can refight bosses for more chests, if you feel up to it....

Re: Wario Land 4; GBA Ambassador
Yeah, Aerodent is a neat boss, but this is really when hard mode shows that you need to really know the game to get 100% (let's not even talk about S-Hard Mode). You need to angle yourself properly to be able to hit the mouse but not the bear; easier said than done, but the fight can be over really quickly if you do it right. It's more of a puzzle boss than a traditional boss since Aerodent really only stalls rather than attacks, so your biggest enemy is time. Pretty cool stuff.

Re: Wario Land 4; GBA Ambassador
To be fair, most of the bosses here stall the player more than flat out kill them. The boss after Aerodent doesn't attack until three quarters of the way through the battle, Spoiled Rotten only did 'passive' damage and even Cractus and Cuckoo Condor have various attacks designed more to slow the player down than kill them quickly.Louiejub wrote:Yeah, Aerodent is a neat boss, but this is really when hard mode shows that you need to really know the game to get 100% (let's not even talk about S-Hard Mode).

It's a more complex and more lethal variant of the boss fights in 2 and 3.
Edit: Also, that level took a fair bit of time. Probably less than the next three will take you though.

Re: Wario Land 4; GBA Ambassador
The first one, right? In Normal mode, it's up in that dead end where raocow originally declared there's nothing here and turned around. There ARE hints to the hidden room below, that one little dirt block you can't do anything with (the exit to the bonus), and you can see the glow of the candle behind the wall.Grounder wrote:dickish piece thing today
As for the hidden room itself, the hint to the breakable wall is the two dirt blocks right next to the entrance of the room. Why would they be there? And it's a similar setup as THAT room from Monsoon Jungle, if you played it first.
It's interesting they moved the CD Chest to the main path. I think that's the first time this has happened in Hard Mode?
The ghost's name is Yurei. Before the Frog Switch, he will dive down and steal any loose coins on the ground. raocow didn't notice probably because he usually doesn't go for coins. Fun Fact: Daniel didn't notice this either until he replayed the level a few times for his book. With Yurei stealing coins, he can make getting the max score for this stage... tricky.

Re: Wario Land 4; GBA Ambassador
I prefer calling the ghost Captain Coin instead of Yurei, given that yurei is just...ghost.
I like how when Cap'n Coin gets money, he has this trollish smirk on his ghostly face, it's just so hilarious. :D

Gorsh, raocow, you sure do save oodles of time by rushing and refusing to preemptively take out enemies which always, always murder your face!

Re: Wario Land 4; GBA Ambassador
This game makes for some nice reactions.
Re: Wario Land 4; GBA Ambassador
Crescent Moon Village
IntroductionSomething to note about the Vampire Bat Wario transformation is what its missing. In Wario Land 3, the default form was Vampire Wario, and pressing B which transform you into Bat form. Vampire Wario had faster horizontal speed on the ground, but a pitiful jump, and didn't really add anything, so I can understand why they cut it in half for Wario 4.
As for the first Bonus Room, I recently did it backwards. I transformed into Zombie Wario, and then stunned one of the Skeleton Birds. After a dip in the water, I picked it up threw it instead of the glass spit ball. Yay for multiple solutions!

Re: Wario Land 4; GBA Ambassador
That first gem piece (the one that raocow missed the first time) was the absolute worst thing for me because I didn't find the breakable floor, so I thought you had to toss an enemy into the small space next to the ramp, which you can do, but you have to be standing in like a pixel perfect spot, so I spent probably hours trying to throw one of the axe guys in there and having to reset every time I accidentally threw it against the wall and killed it. Then I found out years later that there was a breakable floor that I missed all along...
You don't have to recollect the gem pieces, you can just go straight to the bosses iirc. Though I don't think it's that big of a deal if raocow doesn't get the 100% ending regardless.SAJewers wrote:You can, but IIRC you have to beat the game first, then re-collect all the quadrant pieces in each level.Zephyr_DragonLord wrote:I think you can refight bosses for more chests, if you feel up to it....
Re: Wario Land 4; GBA Ambassador
No, anything above 50% is good enough. Anything below that though, and ugh

Re: Wario Land 4; GBA Ambassador
Damn that was close. Just one more diamond (which was in plain sight right there), and raocow would have got a Gold Crown on that level.
Is he deliberately trying to avoid it now? Because lots of recent levels have him within a whisker of getting a Gold Crown...

Well raocow will definetly hate the next level. Not only because it has
so much stuff in one screen, it also has the hardest to find crystal Piece at all
100% Approved!

Arabian Nights
Introduction"Arabian Nights is similar to Crescent Moon Village. Wario travels through the streets and buildings of an abandoned hamlet at night, switching back and forth between the main game idea and the Zombie and Vampire Bat Wario arrangements, albeit in a less rigid fashion. If it wasn’t for the enemies and night time setting, the Middle Eastern village would hardly qualify for the horror theme. The magic carpet is the game idea, an ideal fit for the context."
Wow, Hard Mode really spammed those Onomis (ax wielding mummies) in the one building. On normal, there is only 1 per floor.
Next time: Daniel's favorite level! Followed by his least favorite...

Then again, neither compare to another level, where Super Hard puts at least three Men'ono by every single door in the level.

Re: Wario Land 4; GBA Ambassador
Huh, Super Hard actually reduced the number of Skeleton Birds. Huh.
As for why there is a ladder by the Keyzer, it is possible to get there with Puffy Wario. It involved pushing one of the Beezleys into the short hallway on the left side.
Anyways, I have a, video, to share. You may want to skip to the 30 second mark, but I know many won't ;)
