Wario Land Series Japanese Packaging / Box Art Translations

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 (1.21.94)

Similar to Yoshi's Island, Wario borrows the Super Mario title to launch his own brand. This was the first game in the more puzzle-focused Wario platformer series.

Is is ~I~, the main character!

It's me! WARIO! This time, I think I'll go and build a castle of my very own, but something like that will take money. The island of the pirates sure has a bunch of treasure. How about sneaking in and taking it for myself?

In addition to the unrivaled destructive force of my body blow, there's the superhuman strength of Bull Wario, flying ability of Jet Wario and fire-breathing Dragon Wario. All of these transformations make my strength even more complete!! The explosively fun super-action game, Wario Land. This is MMMYYYYY game!

Virtual Boy Wario Land / Wario Land: Awazon's Hidden Treasure (12.1.95)

One of the most surprising titles not to be ported in some form, Wario starred in a full fledged, well received adventure for the short lived Virtual Boy.

Wario pops out!! This time, I'm doing things a bit different!!

One day, Wario discovered a treasure that was a bit different than usual. However, blinded by his greed, he ended up falling all the way down...to the depths of the earth. This time, the stage is set in the Giant Underground World! Wario finds himself in a huge, desperate pinch!! Thanks to the Virtual Boy, the game is filled with a number of three dimensional tricks...and Wario will be attacking his enemies without mercy. Of course, Wario has new power-up items. 'Everyone, enjoy an even more powerful...ME!'

Wario Land II (10.21.98)

Nintendo of America, always looking out for the nation's kids, changed 'Drunken Wario' into 'Crazy Wario' for the stateside release. The Japanese version includes stickers of his distinctive mustache.

I'm immortal!!

It's been quite a while since I've appeared! [Ga, hahaha!] Hey, this isn't like one of those action games you're thinking of. Why, why...I'm immortal! Have you ever played a game like that?! However, being immortal doesn't mean I'm invincible!

When I take damage from an enemy, I'll go through various reactions, such as becoming fat or inebriated. Additional, there's multiple endings to see by replaying the game! Furthermore, enjoying a COLORFUL game on the Game Boy Color!! So, are you feeling the desire? If so, hurry up and buy this right now!!

Wario Land 4 / Wario Advance: Yoki's Treasure (8.21.01)

Wario World (05.27.04)

The Japanese edition of Wario World received a stylish gold bar style packaging in line with the game's theme. Developed by Treasure, this played less like a puzzler and more like an beat-em-up platformer. I've always wished to try it, but as of this writing it's still a GameCube exclusive, commanding a gold bar payment itself.

Front: 

'Powerful' Rating: 999.0

A 'Wario Gold Sticker' is inside!!

Back:

It is I, Wario the powerful! Funga!!

Who did it!? My castle has been taken over, and my treasure turned in to...monsters!? FUNGA! I SHALL NOT forgive you!! My POWERFUL attacks will be the end of you!!

Use all your might in this huge, puzzle solving adventure!!

On the GameCube, I'm able to freely display my POWERFUL POWER! Check it out! This brute strength!! No matter how big the opponents, I'm tossin' them around like nothing!!

Powerfully progress with a bang!

While the graphics are in the 3D, the game essentially plays like a horizontal action scroller! No matter who is playing, you'll have an easy time with it!

Unique enemies and varied stages!

It's just full of unique enemies!  Knock 'em out without hesitation! Slip down a snowy mountain with tremendous speed...it feels wonderful!

Wario Land: Shake It! / Shake (7.24.08)

The final game (thus far) in the Wario Land franchise was Good Feel's first major production and also featured gorgeous artwork by Production I.G. of Ghost In The Shell fame, among many other works.
