Wario Land II is a Game Boy game and marketed as the second game in the Wario Land series (but actually was released after Virtual Boy Wario Land making it the third Wario Land game). Later, an enhanced version was released for Game Boy Color.

Summary

Wario was resting in his castle, when suddenly his castle was invaded and his treasure was stolen. Wario must go on a quest to retrieve his lost wealth, encountering a villain known as Captain Syrup (leader of Black Sugar Gang) on the way. A special element of the game is that there are hidden branched paths, with different final boss battles. Additionally, unlike many other games; Wario does not lose health points, only coins, and cannot lose a life. However, if in a boss battle; losing it may cause him to be escorted out of the room.
