W W L========================================4 4 W W W L 2. INTRO 4444 W W LLL========================================4 Welcome to my first walkthrough! I hope you find it satisfactory. It's here to help you find the Bonus Rooms and get the money in them. The bonus rooms are the rooms that you can only enter through a purple Pipe, and each level has two purple Bonus Pipes. Each one has a diamond in it (although in Super Hard Mode, some of the Bonus Rooms do not have diamonds), and you have to solve a puzzle to get to it. Keep in mind that if you mess up in a Bonus Room, you can leave it and go back in, and everything will be reset, except for the "!" switches (which can be reset simply by whacking them). This walkthrough covers (or will when it's finished, at least) all of the Bonus Rooms in all difficulty modes, so that should hopefully be really helpful. Another thing to remember is that I am only walking you through the locations and the solutions of the Bonus Rooms, and I skip a TON of secrets, so look around a bit if you want to get the Treasure Chests and get more money.

W W L========================================4 4 W W W L 4. GAME CONTROLS 4444 W W LLL========================================4 Jump: Press the A button to jump. This is the simplest of all moves. Crouch: OK, so I was wrong! This is the simplest move: press down to crouch, or duck. Crawl: Press left or right on the D-Pad while crouching. Body Slam: Press the B button to do a Body Slam. This move will break blocks and kill enemies. Please note that if you body slam the spiky side of an enemy, the enemy will be unharmed, but you will not! Grab, Throw: You pick up enemies simply by walking into them, but only when they are flipped upside down. You can flip an enemy over by jumping on it unless it has spikes on its top. You can also pick up an enemy if you are underneath it (for example, if it is falling), but it still has to be upside down! You can also pick up rocks by simply walking into them. You throw an item or enemy by pressing or holding and then releasing the B button. The longer you hold the B button, the farther you will throw the item or enemy. If you just tap B, you'll just throw the item or enemy right in front of you. You can also throw an item or enemy upwards by holding up on the D-Pad. Swimming: When you are underwater, press the A button to swim upwards and press the B button to swim forward. Pressing B plus a direction on the D-Pad will cause Wario to swim in that direction. You can also use the D-Pad by itself to swim slowly. To kill enemies when underwater, hit them from beneath. You can kill spiked fish by hitting them on their underbellies, which are exposed to the side when they are swimming up and down. Please note that you cannot kill the large water monsters that come out of the holes in Mystic lake. One final note on swimming--you cannot pick up enemies or items when underwater. Roll: Stand on a forty-five degree slope and press down to roll. You are invincible while rolling and will blast through blocks and enemies (although I am not so sure about spikes...!). Jumping Body Slam: Press the A button while doing a Body Slam. Dash Attack: Hold the R button (or the L button, whichever you prefer) while walking. This move will break blue blocks and make you run faster. The attack ends when you release the R button. Smash Attack: Press down on the D-Pad while in mid-air. This move will break blocks and smash enemies (as long as they have no spikes on their top...) and ends when you release the D-Pad. Super Smash Attack: Hold down on the D-Pad for about a second. This move will break blue blocks and does NOT end when you release the D-Pad. Stomp Jump: Hold A when jumping on an enemy to jump up high! Flying Carpet: Jump while on a flying carpet and the carpet will float higher, and it floats down when you are stationary. Crouching Jump: Press the A button while crouching. This enables you to fit into small spaces that cannot be reached simply by crawling. Crouching Slide: Press down on the D-Pad while doing a Body Slam. This move is nice for getting through tight squeezes quickly on the ground. Ladder Slide: This one isn't in the manual. Press down and B while on a ladder to slide down it quickly. A similar slide happens if you are on a ladder and something shakes the ground. Whoo, that's a lot of moves! W W L========================================4 4 W W W L 5. WALKTHROUGH 4444 W W LLL========================================4 Okay, this is how it's going to work: For each level, I will tell you what room and/or screen each bonus pipe is in and how to get to it. I will then tell you how to solve the puzzle in each room. 'K? %#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% # The Emerald Passage #-------------------------------------------------------- %#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% Palm Tree Paradise ROOM 1: Go to the fifth screen and enter the cavern door. Climb up the ladders and kill the enemies, if you want (by Smashing the ground to flip them, and then Smashing their soft underbellies). The purple Pipe is in the ceiling; enter it. This little guy with the magnifying glass is the Professor. Credit for this name goes to EOrrizonte. He is indestructible, but useful for throwing around. Pick him up and throw him at the "!" block, then use the stairs that appear to get the diamond. Then get out and continue the level. ROOM 2: You'll see it above you when you enter the seventh screen, but you can't reach it yet. Eat an apple from the monkey and break open the ground that looks a little different from the rest by jumping on it. It's on the little rise. Hit the "!" block in this room and then use the pipe to get out. Proceed left to where the Bonus Pipe was and use the blocks that have appeared to enter the Pipe. Once in the Bonus Room, climb up the red ladder and jump up the platforms to where the Professor is. Grab him and throw him to the right, through the small blocks. Quickly fall back down, stand next to the edge of the platform above the pipe, and catch the Professor as he falls. This may take a few tries for a beginner. Then throw the Professor to the left, through the blocks, climb up the ladder, and do a crouching jump from the edge of the platform to enter the room where the diamond is. Grab the diamond and exit. Now, finish the level! %#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% # The Emerald Passage #-------------------------------------------------------- %#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% Wildflower Fields ROOM 1: In the third screen, climb up the platforms and go to the right. Do a Super Smash Attack to break the blue block below, then Smash the normal blocks and enter the screen below. Go right, Super Smash the blue block that's all the way at the bottom, and enter the hidden Bonus Pipe. Grab the Professor, jump up, and throw him upwards while in mid-air to get him over the wall. Slide down the ladder and repeat this procedure to get him over this wall. Then slide down this ladder, grab the Professor again, and throw him near the left wall. Use the Stomp Jump move to get up on the platform above you, grab the diamond, and exit the Bonus Room. Continue the level. ROOM 2: In the screen with the Frog Switch, let a monkey feed you and jump on the blue block to break it. Go left and enter the Bonus Pipe. Grab the Professor and throw him at the "!" switch. Climb up the ladder, grab the Professor again, stand on the "!" switch, and throw the Professor at the red "!" switch. Climb up the ladder. Now this part is tricky, because if you don't do it just right, the Professor will fall down the space that the ladder occupies and you'll have turn off the red "!" switch and throw the Professor at it again to get him in the right position. Keep bumping into him from the right until he hits the wall and flips over, then pick him up and jump through the space between the red "!" switch and the corner of the ceiling (the floor of the room that the diamond is in), landing on the switch. Throw the Professor to the left, do a crouching jump into the room, grab the diamond, and get out. Finish the level. %#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% # The Emerald Passage #-------------------------------------------------------- %#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% Mystic Lake ROOM 1: In the third screen (the second screen that has water), you will see some breakable blocks below you, but, unfortunately, you cannot do a Smash Attack when you are underwater. So, you must do a Super Smash Attack from above and Wario will continue the Super Smash move when he enters the water. (If you don't understand what I mean, just keep following the instructions and you'll figure it out.) But how do you get above the water? If you continue right, you will see that part of the ceiling is lower, and there will be a heart a little to the right. Go to the center of this low part and press the A button to smash open a secret block with your head. Press A again to break the block above the first, go up, and jump out of the right side of the water. Grab the item there and go across to the other side of the water. Now, jump off the ledge, and do a Super Smash Attack by holding down on the D-Pad, making sure that you stay on the right side of the shaft. Wario will go down through the water and break open all of those breakable blocks in the floor. Go left to grab the two hearts, then go right, out of the water, and into the Bonus Pipe. Grab the Professor and throw him across the water to the left side of the room. Swim across the water, pick up the Professor, and stand on the line between the third and fourth floor squares from the right edge. If you don't stand right there, the Professor will miss the block in the floor, and when he's underwater you can't pick him up. Now, press B. That's right, PRESS it, don't hold it. If you hold B instead of just tapping it, the Professor will either fly across to the other side of the room or land in the water in the wrong place. Once you've broken the block, swim down into the room below and grab the diamond. Now you can leave. ROOM 2: This Bonus pipe is in plain sight to the left of the Frog Switch. You can't miss it! This is a bit of a tricky one. Once inside the Bonus Room, use the platforms to the left and above the Pipe to get near the top of the water tank. Pick up the Professor and stand, facing left, so that the Professor (while still in your hand) is just to the right of the wall. Throw him upwards so that he goes over the wall and into the water. If done properly, so that the Professor doesn't bounce off any part of the tank, he will fall to the bottom and trigger the "!" switches. Immediately after you throw the Professor over the wall, fall back down to the bottom, walk left under the tank and jump onto the ladder before he hits the "!" switches. You must do this VERY QUICKLY, or else the platform you use to get onto the ladder will disappear, seeing as it is made of "!" blocks. Grab the diamond, leave the Bonus Room, and finish the level. %#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% # The Emerald Passage #-------------------------------------------------------- %#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#%#% Monsoon Jungle ROOM 1: Jeez, this one's REALLY easy to find! It's to the left of your starting position. Once inside the Bonus Room, use the R button to do a Dash Attack to the right. When you see the "!" switch in the ceiling, jump and hit it WITHOUT STOPPING THE DASH ATTACK. A rock that was sitting on "!" blocks will fall and your Dash Attack will knock it to the right so that it doesn't fall into the water. Now, pick up the rock, throw it through the little blocks on the right, and grab the gem. Be sure to hit the "!" switch on your way out, or else the exit Pipe will be blocked with "!" blocks. ROOM 2: After you pass a bunch of swinging platforms with crocodiles underneath, you will enter a large room with a very high ceiling. You will see a blue block in the floor and a weird-looking Native approaching you. Use the large leaf platforms to get to the upper-right corner of the room. The Bonus Pipe is there, in the ceiling. Go in it. Go left and stand on the edge of the floor, next to the water. Let the Native shoot an arrow, then walk to the right before it hits you so that it follows you aaaall the way to the right side of the room, and THEN let it hit you. Wario will swell up like a balloon and float up, getting you the diamond. Now, leave, and finish the last level of the Emerald Passage! Woohoo!
