Wario's Woods

There are four different ways to pick up objects. The A button lets Toad pick up the whole stack that is in front of him, the B button lets him only pick up one object, even if it's in the middle of a stack, the Y button lets him kick a monster or bomb that's in front of him and the X button places him on top of the stack that he is carrying. He can also run up walls and stacks to catch falling objects out of the air or to pick up certain parts of a stack.

There are 5 different modes of play: a "Round Game" where Toad has to clear numerous levels, a match versus a computer-controlled opponent, a two-player mode, a "Time Race" mode, and an extensive training mode.

There are some differences between the Super Nintendo and NES versions. Due to a lack of buttons, controls are slightly different in the NES version (although all the moves from the SNES version are present). Also, there is no vs. mode against the computer, but the "Round Game" mode features two modes of play: one that includes boss-fights on every level ending with a 9.
