"Ah, ha ha! I've finally done it!" Wario chuckles to himself as he does some exploring up his nose. Why does he chuckle, you ask? Because he's finally completed construction of his beloved castle! "So, whatddya think? Pretty sweet, eh? The sparkling golden walls, the luxurious chandeliers... And how about these marble floors? It's a wonderfully gorgeous castle for wonderful and gorgeous me. Hey, by the way- and this is a secret- the lower chambers are brimming with jewels and treasures that I've pilfered from all around the world! What? You wanna take a peek? No way! They're mine, all mine! ... As if I'd actually let you put a single grubby finger on any of my fine treasures! Please! I'm not even gonna let you look at any of them!" Yes, Wario is feeling pretty fine. However, unbeknownst to him, something terrible has happened to his jewels. Sleeping buried under all of his treasures is a powerful black jewel that all but wiped out civilization long ago. And now, on an evening where a red moon rises, the evil black jewel awakens. "Huh? What's all that noise downstairs?! I was just getting ready to floss the gunk out of my toes! Gah! I HATE distractions!" | "Ah, ha ha! I've finally done it!"

What's all that noise downstairs?! I was just getting ready to floss the gunk out of my toes! Gah! I HATE distractions!" | ||
When Wario finally notices that something strange is happening, it's already too late. The evil black jewel downstairs has managed to engulf many of the other treasures and is rapidly growing larger and larger! And not only that--it's churning out monsters as well! Yes, that's right! It seems that the curse that this jewel carries lets it turn treasures into monsters. To make matters worse, the black jewel has decided that it wants to build a kingdom of its own and is changing Wario's world into quite a weird place. | |||
"Whoa! What the heck's going on here?! My castle's going nuts! Who did all this? Who are all these weirdos? WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HAPPENING TO MY CASTLE?!" | |||
After yelling this, Wario begins angrily stomping his feet. He's come completely unglued! But then, somehow, he subdues his anger and while thoughtfully prospecting his nostril, he gets ahold of himself. | |||
"Using my brilliant brainpower, I think... Wait! That must be it! This is the work of that weird, black-colored jewel! I thought there was something off about that thing the first time I laid eyes on it! Why, that arrogant little PUNK! It actually thinks it can outwit the great Wario! Somehow, someway, I'm gonna take back every last treasure it stole from me! Then I'll smack that thing 100 times!! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!" | |||
Once Wario gets angry, absolutely nothing scares him. And so, after stuffing four full heads of garlic into his mouth, he stamps out in a furious rage to meet the monsters! | |||

On the lower floor of the castle, below the throne room lies an evil [[Black Jewel]], who, thousands of years before, had corrupted any and all who owned it, causing chaos and destruction. To put a stop to this, [[Spriteling]]s encased the jewel and put it asleep for all eternity. However, when Wario stole the jewel thousands of years later, it reawakened. | ||
Wario, still drooling over his treasures and laughing | Wario, still drooling over his treasures and laughing in his throne room, soon sees his castle rumble. Suddenly, the Black Jewel turns the castle into a brand new location. This new location is separated into four sections called [[world]]s (each containing a [[List of bosses|boss]] battle): [[Excitement Central]], [[Spooktastic World]], [[Thrillsville]], and [[Sparkle Land]]. The worlds are reached from a main hub area, which also leads to the [[Treasure Square]] where the huge treasure box containing the Black Jewel is placed. Wario must travel through each world, optionally rescuing the forty imprisoned Spritelings, before defeating the Black Jewel and locking it back in its chest. After defeating the jewel, he regains his castle and riches with the help of the Spritelings, with his castle being larger and higher-quality the more Spritelings he rescued. | ||
