PrinceWatercress plays Wario Land II - Part 25 of 51

While writing this blog entry, not only did my modem reset and I had to wait two minutes, but my microwave suddenly died right in front of me after putting a pizza in the oven before watching SmackDown. I had to wait for the pizza to get done before pressing the reset switch on the nearby outlet to get it working again so I wouldn't have to plunk down another $60-$80 on a microwave. Just my luck, right?

Anyway, we're finally at the home stretch of Syrup Castle. Watch as I have a harder time beating Captain Syrup than I should and almost forget that I have a treasure room to find and win the treasure from in the process!

Final Chapter: Syrup Castle

Final Story: The Final Battle!!

Map (by Wanopio)

The guys who throw bottles out of windows will be present at the start of the level. Keep that in mind as you make your way up at the start of the level. Also, there is a gap in the coins on the right side at the beginning, and if you tackle the wall there, you can open up a small gap that you can drop down into from a higher place in a crouching position to find a small chamber of coins. To the left of the chamber, you can high jump up to the top of the small chamber to find even more coins! Sadly, the same is not true of the left wall.

In the next section, take out the snowmen, but save one on the other side for the enemy wall you can break for more coins. The same is true with the next section, where you'll need to throw one of the penguins who will try to get you drunk into an enemy wall to get to the next area.

The spikes that move in and out of the floors and ceilings are back in the next section, so watch out for those and anticipate their rhythm. Remember that you can get under the ones in the floor when they are up. Be sure to tackle the walls on the ends for more coins, especially a few big ones.

The boss room is next, but don't fight Captain Syrup just yet. Instead, let the flames carry you upwards, as this will actually take you to a brand new area. Use the Spear Goons to open up the upper area first, and tackle the wall in the area to the right for more coins. You'll also want to enter the lower area to find another area with spikes and penguins that want you to drunk. The door on the other side of the spikes leads to a room with Wizard Goons. Let them turn you small in order to get all the coins in the room. If you need more, just jump into the Wizard Goons from above or below.

The treasure room is in the upper-right corner of the room with the floor and ceiling spikes. Winning this will net you a crown. I almost forgot to get this!

To beat Captain Syrup, you'll want to jump on the Goons that she sends down at you, then grab them, jump up and throw them upwards onto Captain Syrup herself. As you do this, you'll also want to avoid the fire columns that rise up from underneath the floor, as they will send you out of the battle and force you to make the trek back to the boss room, forcing the final boss battle to restart from the very beginning.

After enough hits, she'll then send bombs down at you. You'll want to catch the bombs out of the air, then throw the bombs at the fire columns when they come up from underneath the floor so that they rise even higher. You'll want the fire column to hit Captain Syrup this way. If the bombs explode at floor level, they will send two fire columns across both sides of the screen, and they can also send you up to the top of the room and force a restart. You only need to hit Captain Syrup twice in this phase, but it can be frustrating. Once you land the second hit, the battle is over, and you'll get the number guessing game like you always do before you roll credits. 

Here, you'll get your first of five endings.Wario will get his treasure back from Captain Syrup and her goons, then he will take his treasure back home to his castle by land and by air. After this, you'll find out that you've only completed half the game, collected only half of the treasures and revealed only half of the picture panel! You'll then see all the treasures and picture panels you've gotten, then you'll see the route map for the game. To get the other half, you're going to have to power off or reset (in case you're playing on Super Game Boy) and go through all four of the alternate routes!
