Wario tried to take over Mario's castle, but he didn't have much luck. Wario, being the persistent guy he is, has not given up. Now, he wants a castle more than ever before. One day, Wario was practicing being mean when he thought to himself, "Rumor has it that the pirates of Kitchen Island have stolen the giant golden statue of Princess Toadstool. Mario is looking for it but, if I find it first, I could cash it in for a princess' ransom. With that cash and the other pirates' other treasures and coins, I could buy a palace that is way bigger than Mario's pathetic excuse for a castle. Ga, ha, ha, ha...! What am I waiting for?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 4 Full of confidence, Wario took off. He didn't even stop to think of how tough the Brown Sugar Pirates were. Their leader, Captain Syrup was known the world over for being a really rotten and ruthless guy. Can Wario find the coins and treasures hidden on Kitchen Island? What will his new palace look like? Will he keep being so mean and ugly? Let's find out! -With my 'body slam', I'm not afraid of pirates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 5 CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS + Control Pad * left and right.... move left and right * down.... crouch or go down * up & B Button....

Then, if I get a Bull Pot, Jet Pot or Dragon Pot, I can become even more powerful. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 14 If Wario gets a Power Up Pot, he can get special abilities. [This page contains a very complicated diagram showing all of Wario's possible transformations with arrows pointing everywhere. It looks like a pyramid. I won't draw it. Get the real manual if you want to see it.] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 15 ITEMS There are plenty of other goodies that Wario can pick up. Star - The Star makes Wario invincible for a short period of time. He can also run faster. While he is invincible, he can get hearts by defeating enemies. [picture of star] Heart - Wario gets a heart point for every enemy he defeats. If Wario picks up a heart, his Heart Points go up by 10. When Wario reaches 100 heart points, you get an extra Wario. At the bottom of the screen, you can see the total number of Heart Points obtained. [picture of love heart] Key - Keys open Treasure Rooms. When you find a Key, search for a Skeleton Door with a keyhole in the same course. Then toss the key and cash in. You can also toss keys at enemies and knock them for a loop.

Here are the best ways to get coins for your pal, Wario. Don't Miss Enemy Characters' Coins! When I attack enemies, coins will appear. Don't forget to grab them. Break the Blocks! Pirates hide coins in many places on the island. For example, a coin can be hidden in a block. Get the coins by breaking the blocks. There are many treasures and coins hidden on the island. How many coins you can collect depends on your skill! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 17 MAP OF PIRATES' ISLAND Press the A Button when the map of the island is on the screen to zoom in to a particular section, then press B Button to zoom out to the island map. The maps of individual island sections display the island courses. If a course is marked with a white circle, that course has two exits. Kitchen Island [Again, this map is impossible to draw in text, so I just won't draw it. It is a pretty good looking map though. :-)] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 18 ENEMY CHARACTERS The Brown Sugar Pirates aren't the only creatures on Kitchen Island. Keep an eye open for these critters too. Wanderin' Goom This little guy is harmless, but Wario could shake it up for a Coin or two. Dropper Heads up! This character waits for Wario and falls from the ceiling with its spikes down. Pirate Goom Watch out for his spear. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 19 Pinwheel This sea dragon spins into a blade when it spots enemies. Helmut He swims up and down under the water. Watch out for the spike on his head! Pouncer This sturdy creature drops down and pursues Wario. Wario can get a lift on its flat top. Penkoon This pirate is part penguin and part racoon. Watch out for its spiked stomach ball. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 20 D.D. The Dangerous Duck is a boomerang-throwing baddie. When Wario sees the weapon coming, he should duck too. Bucket Head This cool customer spits icy crystals. *One of the Kitchen Island creatures will help Wario get around. Floater Wario can ride this creature in the air. The arrow on its ball shows the direction that it will float. A knock on the head will change its direction. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 20 HINT: I can out-muscle any of the creatures on the island, but I'll have to steer clear of their spikes, claws and horns. If I get a shot at their soft underbellies, I'll be able to knock the air out of them and toss them around.
