My 3Speaking Today

  Hey, what's up, players! Another day of gaming and another day in which I send you my most cordial welcome to this my gaming channel on 3Speak. I hope you enjoy today's content. Players, today we are going with Warioland II and this means nothing other than it will be a day of great greediness in the shoes of our favorite antihero from the Mario Bros Universe. In today's gameplay we are going to see how Wario obtains unexpected allies in the middle of the Woods, from where he is trying by all means to recover the war loot that was stolen from his castle by the members of the Black Sugar Gang. Furthermore, this is the first Story of a new chapter, that being Chapter 3 of Warioland II 👍🏻

Finding Unexpected Allies. Starting from an area still dominated by the sea, we come across an ally that truly turns out to be unexpected, as it consists of some Owls that are sleeping on different platforms of the map which, upon being touched by Wario, will wake up and can carry Wario with their claws to other areas of the map. Said Owls turn out to be necessary in order to advance to areas of the map that without their help would be inaccessible. Furthermore, these let us call them 'allies' will help us eliminate the birds if we know how to use them. However, caution must be taken because if the birds manage to charge at these owls in a precise manner, they will cause them to drop Wario and we will have to go back to the position where they were once again and make the journey over.

Avoiding Getting Fished. During the journey swimming through the various underwater areas of the map, in addition to having to avoid the dangerous sawfish known as Drills, we will also have to be cautious about touching the fishing bait used by the 'Tsuriuo', which is a fish with a fishing rod that uses a fake coin as bait to trick Wario and thus capture him. However, these Tsuriuos are quite weak as they tend to perish with any touch we give them. Regardless, during the journey you will realize that the Tsuriuos are necessary since upon being captured by their fishing rod, this will also help us access areas of the map that otherwise would be inaccessible and we would miss out on a large amount of coins for our loot. By the way, in this Story 1 of Chapter 3 we obtained the additional treasure of the map, as we can see at around minute 03:45 of the gameplay : )

Helicopter-Like Enemies. Finally, the enemies that I found most annoying and difficult to overcome in this level were the Kotsuheri, which take the form of a sort of helicopters with bone spines in their structure and that block our path with their routine movement. Upon touching us, in addition to making us lose a significant amount of coins, they will also cause the owls to drop us and send us back a considerable stretch of the way. Finally, after overcoming the Kotsuheris, we can confirm that we took away an important loot of coins from this map, as in total we collected the amount of 965 coins plus the additional treasure we won in the map's minigame ✌🤑 Furthermore, at the end we obtained an additional piece of the final picture or painting : )

After such an enjoyable Warioland II gameplay, I decide to leave things here for today, but not without first thanking you for your support and above all for stopping by. I truly appreciate it very much, friends.
