Wario's Woods

Wario's Woods

Wario's Woods (ワリオの森, Wario no Mori?) is a puzzle game, developed and published by Nintendo, for both the Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The NES version was released in Japan on February 19, 1994, and both versions were released simultaneously in North America on December 10, 1994. Because of the increasing popularity of the Super NES, Wario's Woods was the last official licenced game released for the NES, and is also the only game in its library to have an official rating by the ESRB.

Wario's Woods is a falling block game where the objective is to clear the playing field of monsters by using bombs, arranging them into rows of matching colors. Unlike other puzzle games such as Tetris, where the player directly manipulates the game pieces, the player controls Toad, who moves around the playing field and arranges them after they have fallen.

The game was re-released in various forms, first available as a broadcast on the Satellaview from April 1995 to June 2000; as a collectable, playable item in the 2001 Nintendo GameCube game Animal Crossing; and for purchase as a Virtual Console title for the Wii in 2006.
