Now I have a machine gun. Ho! Ho! Ho!
You know, for all the time I've owned a Wii, I've never even heard of this game until I saw this LP. I'm late to the Wario Party, but I'm definitely gonna follow along; it looks like something I'd regret missing.

Also, and this is kind of an oddball question, but I never played the Wario Land series after 2. When did Wario and Syrup become friendly rivals? I thought Syrup was the mainstay villain...? Or does it begin in this game?

Really, I was just curious. I did my Mario Wiki homework and realized that you're all correct in that Syrup never really appeared outside of those games and that out of some coincidence, those were the only Wario Land games I played. I had always assumed she was a series mainstay villain (read: Bowser, Sigma, King Dedede, Cortex, Robotnik, etc.) so I was wondering if they turned her semi-good/anti-hero somewhere down the road. Despite all that, I really like her pirate-y design. Back in the day, the token nerds and I used to debate whether Captain Syrup was a dude or a chick based on her crappy Wario Land 1 sprite.

I read a while ago on some fansite that the Shake King was actually homage to one of Wario's earlier concept designs. I don't know how true this is and my sources are lacking, but the King's smile/Wario's 'stache comparison reminded me of it.

The train music doesn't sound so Indiana Jones-ish as it does "adventurous", or like during some fast-paced segment from a '90's action flick. Regardless, I love it.
