Trivia / Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3

• First Appearance: Of Captain Syrup.
• Hey, It's That Sound!: The game reuses some sounds from Metroid II: Return of Samus: specifically, the sound when a boss gets hit is the same as when a Metroid gets hit, and the sound when pausing the game and triggering mines is the sound of Samus going into a Morph Ball.
• What Could Have Been: One early screenshot◊ shows that Wario was originally depicted with his normal cap as opposed to the explorer hat he dons in the final game.
