Wario the bad guy from Super Mario Land 2 is back in a game of his own, and this time he's hunting for treasure in a pyramid.

Unlike Wario Land 2 & 3, Wario can be hurt in this game.

Unlike its predecessor, this run is played on hard mode, making it some seconds longer despite more optimized game play.

Arguably better known these days for the WarioWare series, our anti-hero Wario started off as the villain in Super Mario Land 2 before starring in his own series of platformers of which this is the fifth (everyone forgets Virtual Boy Wario Land).

Through strategic use of save-and-restore and a glitch allowing rapid diagonal movement and zipping, Wario gets away with all the loot in this Hard mode run (the hardest difficulty available from the outset) 22:30.68 faster than before.

Watch a resync of this run being played back on a real console.
