STORY

Remember Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins? Wario tried to take over Mario's
castle, but he didn't have much luck. Wario, being the persistent guy he is, has
not given up. Now, he wants a castle more than ever before.

One day, Wario was practicing being mean when he thought to himself, "Rumor has
it that the pirates of Kitchen Island have stolen the giant golden statue of
Princess Toadstool. Mario is looking for it but, if I find it first, I could
cash it in for a princess' ransom. With that cash and the other pirates' other
treasures and coins, I could buy a palace that is way bigger than Mario's
pathetic excuse for a castle. Ga, ha, ha, ha...! What am I waiting for?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Full of confidence, Wario took off. He didn't even stop to think of how tough
the Brown Sugar Pirates were. Their leader, Captain Syrup was known the world
over for being a really rotten and ruthless guy.

Can Wario find the coins and treasures hidden on Kitchen Island? What will his
new palace look like? Will he keep being so mean and ugly? Let's find out!

-With my 'body slam', I'm not afraid of pirates.

SAVING YOUR GAME

stage.

sometimes closed with a locked skull. Use a 10 Gold Coin to open it.

SAVING YOUR GAME IN THE MIDDLE OF A STAGE
There is a save point hidden in the middle of each stage in the form of a skull.

Small Wario
If I get hit when I'm my normal size, I'll shrink.

If I find a Pot, I'll go back to my normal size. Then, if I get a Bull Pot, Jet
Pot or Dragon Pot, I can become even more powerful.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If Wario gets a Power Up Pot, he can get special abilities.

[This page contains a very complicated diagram showing all of Wario's possible
transformations with arrows pointing everywhere. It looks like a pyramid. I
won't draw it. Get the real manual if you want to see it.]

ITEMS

There are plenty of other goodies that Wario can pick up.

Star - The Star makes Wario invincible for a short period of time. He can also
run faster. While he is invincible, he can get hearts by defeating enemies.

Heart - Wario gets a heart point for every enemy he defeats. If Wario picks up a
heart, his Heart Points go up by 10. When Wario reaches 100 heart points, you
get an extra Wario. At the bottom of the screen, you can see the total number of
Heart Points obtained.

Key - Keys open Treasure Rooms. When you find a Key, search for a Skeleton Door
with a keyhole in the same course. Then toss the key and cash in. You can also
toss keys at enemies and knock them for a loop.

WARIO'S ADVICE

Collect as many coins as possible and help me build my castle. Here are the best
ways to get coins for your pal, Wario.

Don't Miss Enemy Characters' Coins!
When I attack enemies, coins will appear. Don't forget to grab them.

Break the Blocks!
Pirates hide coins in many places on the island. For example, a coin can be
hidden in a block. Get the coins by breaking the blocks.

There are many treasures and coins hidden on the island. How many coins you can
collect depends on your skill!

MAP OF PIRATES' ISLAND

Press the A Button when the map of the island is on the screen to zoom in to a
particular section, then press B Button to zoom out to the island map. The maps
of individual island sections display the island courses. If a course is marked
with a white circle, that course has two exits.

Kitchen Island
[Again, this map is impossible to draw in text, so I just won't draw it. It is a
pretty good looking map though. :-)]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ENEMY CHARACTERS

The Brown Sugar Pirates aren't the only creatures on Kitchen Island. Keep an eye
open for these critters too.

Wanderin' Goom
This little guy is harmless, but Wario could shake it up for a Coin or two.

Dropper
Heads up! This character waits for Wario and falls from the ceiling with its
spikes down.

Pirate Goom
Watch out for his spear.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 19

Pinwheel
This sea dragon spins into a blade when it spots enemies.

Helmut
He swims up and down under the water. Watch out for the spike on his head!

Pouncer
This sturdy creature drops down and pursues Wario. Wario can get a lift on its
flat top.

Penkoon
This pirate is part penguin and part racoon. Watch out for its spiked stomach
ball.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 20

D.D.
The Dangerous Duck is a boomerang-throwing baddie. When Wario sees the weapon
coming, he should duck too.

Bucket Head
This cool customer spits icy crystals.

*One of the Kitchen Island creatures will help Wario get around.
Floater
Wario can ride this creature in the air. The arrow on its ball shows the
direction that it will float. A knock on the head will change its direction.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HINT: I can out-muscle any of the creatures on the island, but I'll have to
steer clear of their spikes, claws and horns. If I get a shot at their soft
underbellies, I'll be able to knock the air out of them and toss them around.
