PLATFORM ADVENTURE
Wario Land 2/Wario Land II (GB/GBC, 1998)
Puzzle platformer w/ branching paths (as well as completely alternate paths connecting to the first level and hidden exits) and various maze levels
Much simpler hub map than in WL1 (a schematic map showing the levels and paths)
No permanent abilities/tools/upgrades and no required backtracking to previous levels
Multiple endings and end bosses
Some innovative mechanics (permanent invincibility, transformations, crouch jump, destroy blocks using enemies)
Save feature
Good puzzles overall
Forced mini-games (to get treasures, these get old pretty quickly) - Collect all treasure+picture pieces to access "The Really Final Chapter"
No level maps
