Bugs:Wario Land 3
This page details bugs of Wario Land 3.
 | To do: Enemies can get stuck in walls. |
Frozen Wario Glitch
In the Cave of Flames, enter the eastern pipe, in search of the green key and treasure chest. Proceed to the area obscured by Bonfire Blocks, after first destroying them with the Hot Wario form. On the bridge, be careful to avoid the Akamajakushi that will leap out of the fire, as well as the Brrr Bear. Jump on the Brrr Bear's head and give it a few pushes to the left. There should now be a short distance between the Brrr Bear and an Akamajakushi's starting position. As it regains balance, get Wario frozen, but upon colliding with a leaping Akamajakushi, he will be sent rolling back to the previous area, preempting his transformation into Ice Skatin' Wario.
Though he may seem back to normal, Wario still acts as if he were in his Ice Skatin' form. Thus, he can walk straight into enemies and knock them out. He also does not respond to the effects of flames, Mad Scienstein's potions, or even the Brrr Bear's ice breath. This glitch can be undone by walking into a Seeing-eye door, entering a pipe, or exiting the level via Save Menu. The player will have no choice but to undo it anyway, since the rest of the level cannot be finished when stuck in the Ice Skatin' form.
Rolling Glitch
When crouching at the foot of a hill, Wario may get stuck in a tight spot while sliding before he starts rolling. The rolling glitch can be performed at The Stagnant Swamp and The Colossal Hole.
In this case, one will be able to walk as normal, but the game still treats Wario as if he is just rolling. Thus, he can break regular blocks and defeat enemies just by walking through them. Though there is a slight difference, as this state he will even stay if he walks on a hill, enters doors, crouches, climbs up a ladder, or performs a normal attack or Dash Attack.
It will end if Wario gets attacked by an enemy, enters a pipe, or hits a wall with a regular attack. In the last case, the animation will occur that can normally be seen when rolling Wario smashes at a wall.
Swamp Water Glitch
This glitch can be performed at The Stagnant Swamp. To do so, Wario must be floating in the muddy water and touching either edge of the pool. When down is pressed at the correct time, Wario will briefly dive under the water and the camera will move up. This can be repeated until the camera reaches the top of the level and Wario can be seen floating in the air. Wario will still act like he is at the bottom of the swamp, and will appear to swim in invisible water, walk on invisible platforms, and enter an invisible door or pipe.
The glitch ends when Wario uses a zip line, jumps through the top of the screen, or uses the aforementioned door or pipe.
