World:Wario World

Wario World is the only 3D platformer in the Wario series as of the modern day. Being released in Europe first on June 20th 2003, in America on June 23rd 2003, and on July 10th 2003 for Japan, Wario world didn't see any publicly known speedrun activity until 2006. With many different opportunities that the game presented for categories, movement strategies, and a fresh 3D experience made by Treasure, Wario World was almost destined to become a speed game.

FIRST RUNS

The first publicly known runs that really defined Wario World were drafted and performed in early 2006 by StrangenessDSS. With a strong interest in 100%, Strangeness went to work breaking the game by finding many of the smaller skips used even today and also a few battle ring skips. Within the first month of development there were already short summaries of each level describing potential tricks, troubles, and main talking points. Because of these efforts, the first publicly known speedrun time for Wario World was 1:57:48 (1 hour, 57 mins. 48 seconds) for 100% by StrangenessDSS with claims that the time could be brought down below 1:45:xx (1 hour, 45 minutes, unspecified) with some effort. Videos and old Speeddemosarchive posts before and around early 2010 show how many of these runs looked back then. (Links Coming Soon)
