Quick notes

The Temple supplies direction. When a chest changes the world but its purpose is unclear, return to the hidden figure.
Wario begins with a reduced move set. Abilities familiar from Wario Land II must be earned again.
Enemies are reusable puzzle mechanisms. Some enemies provide fire, weight, flight or invisibility.
Rudy belongs to the final Temple confrontation. The five music boxes lead back to the Temple and reveal the final opponent.
