One quiet morning, Wario was resting peacefully in bed. He was so tired from
treasure-hunting that he did not hear the suspicious intruders enter his castle.
Who were these mysterious characters, and why are they after Wario's treasure?

"Aaargh! I can't believe that Captain Syrup and the Black Sugar Gang have stolen
my treasure! I am one angry Wario! I'm going to get my tresures back if it's the
last thing I do!

"Wario Land 2 is much better than any of my previous games. Why, you ask?
Because in this game, I am immortal! There is no Game Over! With multiple
endings, you can play my game MANY times. Isn't that great?!"
