I'll admit it, this game totally confused me. Maybe I should have read the manual or something. If I recorded commentary the first time I played Wario's Woods it would have gone like "OK, looks like I'm Toad. There's some weird puff things on the ground, am I supposed to pick them up or something. Oh look, some bombs. I'd better keep those away from the puff things I guess. OK, I stacked a bunch of bombs and they blew up but nothing happened, maybe I'm supposed to kill those cute little puff balls. Yup, that did the trick. Now there's an angry tree descending, screw you tree dude. What's with the pink Muppet in the corner. Doo do do-do-do, menomena! This game sucks."
Like the previous two entries, the NES finished it's run with a franchise title. Well, there's Toad and something that rhymes with "Mario" in the title so close enough. I don't remember it coming into Electronics Boutique when I worked there. By that time we only had a couple new NES games, like Startropics 2, stuffed into a single shelf below the Game Boy accessories. If we received Wario's Woods it would have been in displayed in the same low-profile location.
