Wario's Woods is a video game in the Super Mario Bros. franchise, released for both the NES and SNES in 1994.Once upon a time, the Peaceful Woods was a peaceful home for sprites and other friendly creatures, until one day, when the wicked Wario and his followers used their magic powers to take over the woods. True to form, the sinister lout renames the woods after himself, and the gentle creatures are no longer welcome. With neither Mario or Luigi anywhere to be found, it's Toad — with help from Birdo — who comes forward to put a stop to Wario's antics and restore the serenity of the Peaceful Woods, by using bombs provided by the sprites.In-game, the player controls Toad as he moves around monsters in the playfield and eliminates them by placing bombs next to vertical, horizontal, or diagonal rows of monsters that match the color of the bomb being used.Both versions of the game have the following game modes: Round Game, where the player must pass 99 rounds of bombing enemies. In the NES version, this is basically the story mode, where in each 9th round the player has to fight a boss by destroying rows of enemies placed directly next to it. VS mode. The NES only has a two-player VS mode ("VS 2P"), but in the SNES version there's both a two-player VS and a single-player VS ("VS CPU"). In the single-player VS, the player has to fight several unique CPU opponents who only appear in this game by clearing their playfield of enemies before the opponent does. Time Attack. Here, you have to beat all of the rounds in the shortest amount of time. Lesson, which gives the player lessons about how to play the game and several techniques they can do.The NES version of the game was the last first-party game to be released for that console, and was released so late in the console's lifespan that it is also the only NES game to have an official ESRB rating.In 2012, the game was adapted for the 3DS touchscreen and included as a minigame in Brain Age: Concentration Training, under the name Blob Blast. This version was largely based on NES version and only included the Round Game mode. Instead of controlling Toad, the player could manipulate bombs and blobs (monsters) directly using the touchscreen, similar to Virus Buster and Planet Puzzle League.

Cute Witch: One of the opponents you fight in the SNES version's VS CPU mode is a witch named Sarissa, who actually doesn't really look that harmful.

Palette Swap: The enemies in the playfield all appear in different colors. Dovos, one of the less common enemies, actually use something like this as their main gimmick; they take two hits, and the first time they're hit with a bomb they change color.

The "breakfast" mechanicnote clearing multiple lines with one bomb will drop an egg on your opponent's field, which will hatch into seven monsters if they don't quickly smash it open into just one only exists in the SNES version for some reason. Also with the advanced palette of the Super Nintendo, this version contains an extra black color for the enemies compared to the seven colors of the NES. Finally, the VS COM campaign only exists in the Super Nintendo version.

Tree Trunk Tour: In the Round Games of both versions, the first playfield is the inside of a tree trunk. In the NES version, the inside of a tree trunk is the only setting for this mode; in the SNES version, the tree trunks are still present, but only the first few rounds take place in them.

comment
Non-Indicative Difficulty: In the SNES version's VS CPU mode. The first opponent is easy, sure, but the computer amps up its intelligence starting with the next level, making it possibly the hardest level of the game. You both only have a few enemies to clear, so there's less opportunity to screw over your opponent, and even though the game gets more challenging from here on out, a skilled player is increasingly less likely to lose from here on out while against your second opponent it's almost a 50/50 crapshoot.
