Isn't there like 4 thumbnails you can select from?

Anyways, pretty sweet folded level design there. I wish there was a book that examined a game, which used folded level design as its base.

The main reason I find this ending insulting is because it carries with it the implication that a haunted mansion with ghosts in it is too absurd for a mario game
Well it is a decent hack but sometime its just too repetitif there no level that actually pop in your face and your like oh yeah that level they all ressemble themselves and just monster along the way.

Story time! With Wario Land II.
Previously on Wario Land II...
By not bothering playing B-ball with a certain city punk, Wario saves some time, and closes in on the Pirates. Syrup and her Goons try to lose him in a Haunted Mansion at the edge of the city, a place so scary, everyone involved briefly quivers at the sight of it.
You've almost closed in on them, Wario! But will you get out alive?
And finally...
After defeating a terrifying ghost, Wario rescues it's hostage, Captain Syrup. He then knocks her and her Gooms away, and Wario's treasure neatly falls into place beside him. But, before he goes to claim his treasure, a trap door opens up below him, and Wario falls into the darkness, plummeting all the way into the depths of HELL!!!

Oh... it was all a dream. Go back to sleep, Wario.
Meanwhile, the Black Sugar Pirates come to Wario's island via balloon, and approach for another assault...
Crouching during the boss battle would have helped.

If you decide to play 2-4(a) to get the secret exit, 3-1(b) should also be played in one sitting. It'll make more sense, that way

That was my thought through that whole fight, "what happens if you duck", I wasn't sure if it would work but he didn't even try it.

Today Wario fights the ghost of Buff-Arms Waluigi in his dreams.

I'm sure if you psychoanalyzed that it would say something about him but I'm just not sure what.

That boss is, bar NONE, THE absolute hardest boss in the game.

Yes, you had to think more on Syrup's final phase for the main path.
Yes, there was timing for the final boss for the first secret path.
Yes, Mr. Moo Cow Bull Man had timing trickery with it, too.

But this boss... comes at you insanely quickly, where getting caught is VERY EASY. Failing to hit the other bosses just meant, you failed to hit the bosses. Failing to hit THIS boss usually means you get caught, and ejected from the room.

So I noticed no actual ghost-capturing. What was the point of the name of the level, then?

"Smack the ghost in the face until it falls off the ceiling" was perhaps a bit too much of a mouthful.

@raocow not every timeline is a dream! the ending where you don't wake up in 1-1 is not a dream, so that's the canon ending now

Between 1 & 7, it is 4.
To be fair, 4 is, indeed, between 1 & 7.

I mean, and also accepting the timeline at face value is a big leap of logic but I hoped everyone was aware of that.

Although this is how it's displayed on the map and accessed through gameplay, the haunted house is not actually a branch off from the middle of the timeline. Rather, the split is actually made at the very beginning of the game, and which branch Wario exists on is determined by your actions.

In other words, Wario is at all times in a quantum superposition between "dreaming" and "living" through these events. He is both believing himself to have awoken, and actually awake at once. True to being Virtue's Last Rewario, "choices you make in the future influence the past".

When the choice is made to either visit the haunted house or not, the wave function collapses and Wario was either always dreaming (if he chases Syrup to the house) or always awake (if he doesn't). But before that decision is made, both of them are equally true.
