Mario & Wario

Mario & Wario focuses on Mario , who has various objects, including buckets and vases, dropped onto his head from an airplane by the antagonist Wario . Because the objects render Mario sightless , it is the main goal of the player to guide Mario through each level , which consist of various obstacles and traps, to his brother Luigi , who can remove the offending object. The player must also complete each level within a specified time limit. Because Mario will constantly walk left or right regardless of any oncoming hazards, the player controls the fairy Wanda, who possesses the ability to manipulate the environment in order to protect Mario. Wanda is controlled via a point-and-click interface with the Super Famicom Mouse accessory, influencing objects on the screen when clicked. For example, Wanda can solidify block outlines for use as barriers or bridges for Mario to walk across, and can destroy certain obstacles and enemies. The player can also click Mario to turn him around and reverse his direction. The player is awarded points for defeating enemies, collecting items , and for any remaining time when the level is completed. Extra lives may also be awarded. Mario & Wario contains a total of 100 levels allotted amongst ten unique locales, which include forest , desert , and underwater settings, each with a different offering of enemies or hazards. In addition to Mario, the player can select Princess Peach or Yoshi to be the character that is guided through each level. Princess Peach walks slower than Mario and Yoshi walks faster, which may offer advantages or disadvantages depending on how difficult a particular level is or how fast the player seeks to complete it. At the end of each locale, Wanda directly battles Wario with the player character looking on, attacking his plane and earning coins from it until he is burnt and flees. After the final level is completed, the player character gives Wario chase by plane and drops a barrel on his head, causing him to crash and foiling his plans.
