Wario World (ワリオワールド, Wario Wārudo?) is a platform game developed by Treasure and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube. It was released in Europe on June 20, 2003, in North America on June 23, 2003, in Australia on July 10, 2003, and in Japan on May 27, 2004. It marks Wario's first starring appearance on a home games console. The game's plot centers around Wario and his quest to regain his treasure and his castle from an evil black jewel.

The game was fairly well-received by reviewers. They praised the gameplay but criticized the game for being too short. Wario World has sold over 142,000 copies in Japan and over 256,000 copies in the United States. In 2004, the game was re-released as a Player's Choice title.

Problems

Sound problems

In the newer revisions either the sound effects, music or voices will turn off. These issues can be resolved by using the DSP LLE Recomplier.

Fall-through ground

When surfacing from underground shafts to return to the main level, there seems to be a chance that Wario will fall through the map and fall perpetually into emptiness. If this happens, the level must be quit and re-entered. This occurs in 3.0-484.

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.

Test Entries
Revision	OS	CPU	GPU	Result	Tester
r6204	Windows 7 x86	Intel Pentium E5300 @ 2.6GHz	ATI Radeon HD 5450	perfect: The game is fully playable at 50 FPS (PAL) with DX9 plug-in.	Markon89
r6562	Windows 7 x86	Intel Pentium E5300 @ 2.6GHz	ATI Radeon HD 5450	perfect: this is the last revision that fully support Wario World, in r6563 the game freezes and the screen became black. I think the problem is: Disabled the paired single multiply instruction in r6563. I hope that the developers are able to solve the problem.	Markon89
r6887	Windows Vista x86	Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 @ 2.2GHz	ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470	Unplayable: The game freezes after one minute. 30-60 FPS with DX9 plug-in and OpenCL Enabled.
r7310	Windows 7 x86	Intel Pentium E5300 @ 2.6GHz	ATI Radeon HD 5450	The game doesn't work with the newer version like the r7310 but i don't know why,the game freeze after 1-2 minutes because the screen became black, or white it depends.	Markon89
r7540	Windows 7 x64	Intel Core i7-2600K @3.4GHz	ATI Radeon HD 6950	The game seems to freeze less with JITIL experimental recompiler instead of the regular JIT recompiler. I used Direct3D9 and LLE as sound output.	Maverick Hunter X
r7583	Linux Ubuntu 11.04 x86_64	Intel Core i7-2630QM	ATI Radeon HD 6650	FPS 60, speed 100%. But the Game freezes immediately when you start to play. Freezes after 1-2 minutes with JIT experimental recompiler.	Somerset
r7606	Linux Ubuntu 11.04 x86_64	Intel Core i7-2630QM	ATI Radeon HD 6650	So far, the game doesn't freeze anymore with the regular JIT recompiler.	Somerset
3.0	Windows 7 x86	Intel Pentium E5300 @ 2.6GHz	ATI Radeon HD 5450	The game works perfect with the new version, no graphical glitches and no freeze, the problem was completely overcome	Markon89
3.0-204	Windows 7 x64	Intel Core i7 2600K @ 3.4GHz	ATI Radeon HD 6990	Game runs perfectly at 60 FPS with DX9 plug-in. Sound issues resolved via LLE recompiler.
3.0-458-dirty	Windows 7 x64	AMD Athlon II X3 450 @3.2 GHz	ATI Radeon HD 6670	DX9 Backend with DSP LLE Recompiler + on Thread = 60 FPS. No errors by now.	Faefdsedf
^3.0-415	Mac OS X 10.6.8	Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.13Ghz	nVidia GeForce 9400M	Strangely it runs much faster when EFB is set to RAM, not texture. Nearly full speed all the time with RAM. Sound glitches do occur, just like in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.
