He was also invincible (in some of the games). He didn’t have Mario’s ups, but he compensated with grapple attacks and a shoulder charge. Wario Land’s levels were less linear - full of switchbacks, gimmicks, hidden rooms, and puzzles.

Pizza Tower is a 2D platformer inspired by the Wario Land series, which was a quirky departure from Nintendo’s mainline Mario titles. Pizza Tower firmly grips its ambitions in confident hands, and drives them headfirst through a stack of bricks. This game reaches for many things: precision platforming, expressive hand-drawn animation, heaps of game-changing power-ups, multiple playable characters, an all-bangers soundtrack, multi-stage boss battles, even a sports level - and its reach never exceeds its grasp.
