Wario Land 3 Completion and golf: Musical Coins, 100 treasures and Time Attack
Separate optional stage goals from the requirements for the final mode.
Edition covered
Original Game Boy Color adventure. Treasure locations and ability gates refer to Wario Land 3, not the first Wario Land or Wario Land II.
A complete treasure collection opens a new challenge
Open all 100 treasure chests and defeat the final boss to activate Time Attack. The new mode replaces the ordinary Start Game entry, so finish any desired exploration knowing the menu will change.
| Goal | Requirement | What to record |
|---|---|---|
| Story finish | Required treasures and the final encounter | Temple progression |
| Treasure collection | All 100 colored chests | Four per stage |
| Musical Coin clear | All eight coins in one visit, then a chest exit | The stage’s completed coin marker |
| Time Attack | All treasures and final boss defeated | New main-menu mode |
Musical Coins have their own collection rule
Collect all eight Musical Coins in one visit, then open a chest or enter an already opened chest door to record the result. A missed coin cannot simply be added to an earlier incomplete run.
| Step | What to inspect | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | Available coins and room cost | A failed attempt uses resources |
| Terrain | Slopes and obstacles | They change travel distance |
| Power | Distance to the target | Maximum power may overshoot |
| Impact | Meter timing | A poorly timed shot wastes a stroke |
| Goal | Remaining stroke allowance | Plan the next shot before hitting |
Golf is a room puzzle with a stroke budget
Pay the entry cost and knock the enemy toward the goal within the allowed strokes. Study the terrain before setting power; the strongest hit is not automatically the best one.
Treat a full-clear route as a different plan
Some treasure routes and Musical Coin routes depend on different abilities or day states. Plan the coin sweep after progression powers are available instead of forcing every optional task into a first visit.
