'''''Wario's Woods''''' is a puzzle game for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] released in 1994. It is the last first-party game to have been released for the system and, having been released late into the console's lifespan, is the only Nintendo Entertainment System game that has an [[Entertainment Software Rating Board|ESRB]] certificate. ''Wario's Woods'' is a part of the ''[[Wario]]'' franchise, although it stars [[Toad (Mario character)|Toad]] as the main protagonist and [[Wario (character)|Wario]] as the main villain.
''Wario's Woods'' has been ported a few times. It was first reissued in [[2001]], being a part of ''[[Doubutsu no Mori+]]'' as well as its two variations, ''[[Animal Crossing (game)|Animal Crossing]]'' and ''[[Doubutsu no Mori e+]]''. In these games, ''Wario's Woods'' is a [[Furniture (Animal Crossing franchise)|furniture]] item that can be obtained from [[Animal Island]]. In [[2006]], ''Wario's Woods'' was released for the [[Wii]] [[Virtual Console (Wii)|Virtual Console]]. Since this release, the ESRB updated their K-A rating for ''Wario's Woods'' to an E rating, and the game also received two additional ratings, including a 3+ from [[PEGI]] and a G from the [[ACB]]. In [[2013]], ''Wario's Woods'' was ported to the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console (Nintendo 3DS)|Virtual Console]]. Later on, that same year, the game was ported to the [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console (Wii U)|Virtual Console]]. In [[2018]], ''Wario's Woods'' was ported to the [[Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]].

In ''Wario's Woods'', the player takes control of Toad with the objective of destroying all the monsters that are on-screen. If the player manages to do this, they can advance to the next level. To destroy the enemies, the player must place bombs that match their color next to them; when three items of the same color with at least one bomb are placed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally in a row, all the items in the row are cleared. If Toad is trapped by bombs or monsters, the player receives a [[Game Over]].
At the end, Wario himself appears to fight against Toad alone, inexplicably at a gargantuan size. Eventually, Toad defeats him, causing him to shrink back to his original size and therefore his powers were also reduced (it was also revealed that Wario had in fact used an airpump to inflate himself to a much bigger size in order to battle Toad). Toad then proceeds onward by chasing the antagonist out of the Woods.

==Game modes==
There are five game modes: Round Game, Time Race, VS, Lesson, and Option. Round Game is the basic game with 100 levels (this is much like the story mode of the game, featuring the bosses and events within the game). The levels increase in difficulty as the player progresses, starting with more monsters and more kinds of monsters. It also has an A and B game mode. Time Race has three levels of difficulty and has players racing against the clock. VS is the two player mode (the second player has the option of choosing a green Toad as their character). Lesson teaches the game basics. The Option menu gives the options such as name change (of the player), data clear, and rankings.
==Cutscenes==
In the Round Mode of ''Wario's Woods'', the game takes on a story mode sequence with cutscenes being frequently encountered throughout the game. These cutscenes often take place after every 10 rounds, and they are scenes of Wario taunting Toad as the hero gets closer to defeating Wario. In most of these cutscenes, Wario often calls Toad insulting names such as ''"'Shroom"'' to discourage him. Wario also appears to grow in size throughout the game; thus, showing his powers increasing. In the final round levels, Wario can be seen to be in a gargantuan size (though it is revealed that he was just inflating himself with an air pump). In the end, Toad can finally be seen chasing Wario out of the woods.
