Wario and the 4 diamond shards

Wario and the 3 diamond shards is a game created by Nintendo. It is a game in the Wario Series.

Plot:
Wario is treasure hunting in a cave one day when he finds a giant diamond. However, Captain Syrup steals it and retreats in an airship stolen from Bowser. Wario goes onto the air ship, and fights Syrup for the diamond. It breaks into 3 pieces and is scattered across the land. It is now a race between Wario and Syrup to get the diamond. Once Wario gets them all and puts the pieces together, it is stolen from Syrup once again. Wario infiltrates the airship and defeats Syrup again. Once it finally looks like he won, Bowser, revealed to have stowed away in the back of the ship, knocks Syrup off the side and throws Wario off as well. Bowser retreats to his castle with the diamond. Syrup and Wario decide to team up and defeat Bowser. Once they do, while Wario is distracted in taunting Bowser, he hears an airship flying away, and finds Syrup has escaped with the airship AND the diamond.

Reception:
The game received critical acclaim, as with most Wario games. It was only criticized for, as usual, cheating Wario out of a happy ending, as that is "Getting old".
