Game Description
The Anti-Mario is back - and like you've never seen him before. A classic side-scrolling cel-shaded platformer of yesteryear is Wario's new home, complete with enemy stomping and green pipes. But that's not all. Wario goes there because it's an alternate dimension, inhabited by the peaceful Merfles. The Merfles have fallen under the control of the evil Shake King, so one Merfle escapes and asks Wario for help. Once Wario learns there's money to be made, he joins in the quest. Now control him to help the Merfles. Turn your Wiimote sideways to move Wario in the classic way. Then grab your enemies and shake it up and down to turn them over and shake the cash right out of their pockets!

The game itself is fun, but you have to repeat certain sections over and over to beat them. It was VERY hard to beat the last boss - too hard and frustrating.more
