Wario Land: A Line to the Riches, also written as Wario Land: A Line to the Rich, is a co-op platformer game created by Blower Pot. The sixth Wario Land game of the series, after over ten years after Wario Land: Shake It!, also being heavily inspired by Wario: Master of Disguise. This game is unique, due to being multiplayer, in comparison, all previous Wario land games were single-player, two players need to cooperate with eachother, one controlling Wario, and the other controlling Holi.
Gameplay
In Wario Land: A Line to the Riches, one player controls Wario, the titular protagonist, he can walk and jump, but as well he dash, which can stun and defeat enemies and destroy blocks. While this, the other player controls Holi, a magical paint brush, she can move freely through the screen, but she cannot interact with most things on the screen, by clicking on the joystick, Holi creates a line of rainbow paint that Wario can walk over, however, the paint disappears after some seconds. Both Wario and Holi need to cooperate to proceed, which Holi creates a bridge for Wario so he can reach a place he couldn't reach on his own.
Wario can also do much more attacks, when dashing, if he stops he'll do a kick attack, which will cause the enemy to roll forward if the stunned, which it defeat any other enemy on the way, which also will stun the kicked enemy after it loses speed, but Wario can also perform that with other objects like as barrels, the same thing happens when Wario throws them after grabbing a stunned enemy of object, which the player can aim for where he'll throw them at. However, Wario can mainly get in many forms, which changes how he acts, which are usually caused by when he gets affected by certain enemies or other objects, all those having their uses, advantages, and disadvantages from the normal Wario. For example, the Fire Wario form will cause he tp burn if he hits a Lil Flame, which makes him able to burn ropes and defeat enemies, but he will run nonstop, turning only if he hits a solid object, needing quick action between the two players, until Fire Wario gets hit by water, reverting him back to normal. While Wario usually can't die, in boss fights, holes, "normal" enemies, and others, Wario will be damage, and/or into a game over if damaged enough, or instantly for holes.
Holi can also make other drawings after getting the color emeralds, which are usually done when she draws something, but they can't be not so scribbly, or the game won't recognize. For example, if Hole draws a line and below a trapezoid after getting the yellow emerald, it'll get of the emerald's color and so Wario can grab on those and also so to launch himself up.
At the end of every level, if Wario touches the switch at the end of every level, a timer appears, which the door on the start will open. Wario has to escape the level to the door before the timer runs out, which a explosion will happen resulting in a game over. Which the players will have to try again.
