Originally meant as a sequel to the Super Mario Land ( https://tasvideos.org/2091M ) games, Wario Land eventually proved popular enough in its own right to launch its ( https://tasvideos.org/1870M ) own ( https://tasvideos.org/4052M ) series ( https://tasvideos.org/1736M ).

Wario, having been kicked out of Mario's castle in his first appearance ( https://tasvideos.org/4042M ), decides, in his eternal greed, to search for a statue stolen by the nefarious Captain Syrup and the Black Sugar Gang. This would normally involve questing for hidden treasures and collecting as many coins as he can possibly amass along the way.

Here, however, Wario decides this isn't worth his time and proceeds as quickly as possible towards the final confrontation — going so far as to skip entire levels and otherwise make a mockery of the game engine.

This run is a 02:11.61 improvement over the previous movie through better optimization.

This movie is set to obsolete the seemingly shorter "game end glitch" branch, because the "glitch" in the latter has been proven to be an emulator bug.
