Editing Talk:Wario's Woods

== Wario game? ==
Should this really be in the [[:Category:Wario Games|Wario Games category]]? [[User:Cobold|Cobold]] 13:49, 3 February 2007 (EST)

....no. It's a Mario game. - [[User:Ultimatetoad|Ultimatetoad]]

I think it's both, as Wario is the titular character. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

== Name of enemies ==
Could someone list all of the names of the minor enemies from the game, please?
Thanks in advance.--[[User:Spark|Spark]] 06:03, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

== Story inconsistency? ==
I keep finding two different stroies to this game. One has Wario using his monsters to take over the woods, the other has Wario already owning the woods and planning to use his monsters to attack the Mushroom Kingdom. Did the two versions of the game have different stories? --[[User:AgentCH|AgentCH]] 14:58, 26 July 2008 (EDT)

==Boss Characters==

Can we please link to them? Or just put sprites or artwork of them on the article? [[User:Superjustin|Superjustin]] 20:10, 22 January 2009 (EST)

==Localization?==
Because it seems like most puzzle games in the US/Europe with familiar characters are localizations of Japanese games like ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' is ''[[Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic]]'' in japan or ''Kirby's Avalanche'' is ''Super Puyo-Puyo'', is this a localization of a Japanese game? {{User:ChillGuy}}

Nope, this game was created as it is from the beginning. Other than text, nothing was changed in the translation.--{{User|Knife}} 05:00, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

== "Squeak" and "Fuzz" names switched? ==

The NES manual, Wii Virtual Console manual, and Wii U Virtual Console manual all have the names "Squeak" and "Fuzz" swapped compared to Mario Wiki. From what source did Mario Wiki find that Squeaks are the bear/sheep-like enemies and Fuzzes are the enemies with curly ears? I'd like to know because that source does not agree with any of the manuals for the NES version of the game.

The SNES manual has the Squeak, Spud, and Fuzz grouped together, so it's much more difficult to tell whether that manual agrees with the other 3 or if it agrees with Mario Wiki.

== English names of NES Bosses ==

http://gamesdbase.com/Media/SYSTEM/Nintendo_NES/manual/Formated/Wario-s_Woods_-_1994_-_Nintendo.pdf (if the link is removed, search for "nes wario's woods manual pdf")

This is the NES version's manual. On page 15, it tells the English names of the bosses. "Akuman" is "Fauster", "De Buu" is "Boom", "Meidou" is "Mad", "Goura" is "Goro", "Dorago" is "Drago", and "Shiisa" is "Seizer".

Why did the entire wiki ignore or fail to notice the English names in the NES manual?
:Because not a lot of people own Wario's Woods for the NES. <br>{{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 18:17, 7 November 2013 (EST)
::Now it seems the names are not official. Was this an unofficial manual? [[User:Zakor1138|Zakor1138]] ([[User talk:Zakor1138|talk]]) 16:42, 29 November 2014 (EST)

== English names not official? ==
The above topic mentions the English instruction manual which supposedly has the English names for the bosses, but they have been reverted back to their Japanese names. Was it a fake? [[User:Zakor1138|Zakor1138]] ([[User talk:Zakor1138|talk]]) 16:46, 29 November 2014 (EST)

For the SNES version, there is a hidden [[Extra Challenge Mode]]. {{button|snes|pad}}left + {{button|snes|start}} on the VS COM mode to activate. Should it be covered? If so, how? I ask because we have pages like [[Hard Mode]]. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 01:49, 8 July 2016 (EDT)
:I don't see why it can't be mentioned in [[Hard Mode]]. It now has information for ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Yoshi's Safari'' and ''Luigi's Mansion'' -- even if their hard modes don't explicitly name it as such (especially the latter's Hidden Mansion). --[[User:Zootalo|Zootalo]] ([[User talk:Zootalo|talk]]) 01:54, 8 July 2016 (EDT)

== Split? ==

{{talk}}
[[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 52#Split Switch.2F3DS ports with substantial new content|Given this proposal,]] I'd say the SNES ''Wario's Woods'' is more than transformative enough to qualify for a split. In addition to adding the VS COM and extra difficulty, the existing Round Game and Time Race game modes have significant changes between consoles as well, with entirely different monster layouts per screen, soundtrack, and the removal of standard bosses. It's somewhat forcing it to keep them in the same article. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 10:25, October 20, 2019 (EDT)

So that's what I'm doing. I can see that SNES and NES "are for all intents and purposes different games", the problem is the Satellaview versions. On the one hand, they have differences too, like SMA3 vs. YI, but on the other hand, those differences might not be enough.

===Split NES and SNES versions, keep Satellaview information with SNES===
#{{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} Secondary choice per proposal.
#{{User|Waluigi Time}} Long overdue. We don't have much information on the Satellaview versions though, so those can probably stay merged for now.
#{{User|Camwoodstock}} Per Waluigi Time--how has this not been done ''sooner?'' While we'd like to split the Satellaview version at a later time, we figure it can't hurt to keep them merged until those are more documented.

===Split all 3===
#{{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} Main choice per proposal.
#{{User|Camwoodstock}} Our secondary option--we feel like for now, there may be slim pickings for coverage, but hey, if it's our ultimate goal, this might kickstart further discoveries.

-#{{User|LinkTheLefty}} Thing with Satellaview ''Wario's Woods'' is that it's not just one version, but ''at least'' four. Right now, deeming them edits of the SNES version is well enough. When there's more information, we can reconvene and gather which Satellaview versions are worth splitting further and whatnot.

-:No one really thought to or was willing to do all the work; for most people, this game is pretty low-priority, to the point that basically the only reason anyone references it ever is because of the version-exclusive mermaids. A similar case is ''Missing'' and ''Time Machine'' which are not split between systems despite being functionally completely different games.

-:I dunno, since it's not an outright remake, I don't like giving priority for that type of thing since one version will always be the "real" version in ''someone''{{'}}s eyes, for instance with the ''Mario & Sonic'' games and the console vs handheld versions of them (note I also don't like it when one of those ''Sonic'' games that get multiple concurrent releases with the same plot and basic assets get one version prioritized, like with ''Colors'', ''Generations'', ''Lost World'', and '''especially''' ''Unleashed'').

Though Wario's Woods is also a concurrent release in the US and probably Europe too, it's not in Japan.

-:::My guess: the Famicom version came out very late in the console's life cycle that it probably almost didn't release on the NES, and the condition to release it in the West was to make a SNES version. Possibly, the decision to skimp on the Super Famicom physical release was to cut on cartridge costs for the then-upcoming Satellaview (maybe not unwise, because if you can believe it, there was a time when SNES games like ''Wario's Woods'' and ''Kirby's Avalanche'' were sold complete in bargain bins). Solid development information on this game is scarce, though. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 08:50, March 15, 2024 (EDT)
