Wario Land's Rice Beach -- Designing For Contrast

Designing For is a series which looks at a level in gaming, and analyzes a theme central to that level's design. In this episode, we look at the first world of Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, and how it strives to be the antithesis to Mario's design, rather than Wario's more modern interpretations. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Twitter:   / designing4games   Discord:   / discord   Writing/Voiceover/Audio Editing/Gameplay: Tommy Eyler/Pyrrhickong/The Dryest Bones (   / pyrrhickong  ) Script Editing/Image Editing/Video Editing/Additional Game Footage: Zack Frisbee/Goombachi Intro Graphic and Watermark By: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFlA... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Also check out our video on Rabbid Kong, the boss of Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, which pays homage to Donkey Kong in surprisingly well thought-out ways:    • Mario + Rabbids' Top Banana -- Designing F...   Or our video on Bug Fables, the yet-to-be-released indie project which not only references Paper Mario, but strives beyond it:    • Bug Fables' Spider Boss -- Designing For C...   ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Wario Land series, including Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, Virtual Boy Wario Land, Wario Land II, Wario Land 3, Wario Land 4, Wario World, Wario: Master of Disguise, and Wario Land: Shake It! are © Nintendo Co., Ltd.
