Something about using a song from a Wario game for a MIDI Week Single article on April Fools' Day seemed somewhat appropriate. The Squire has been playing a lot of Wario World on the Nintendo Switch Online GameCube app on the Switch 2 over the last couple of weeks. It started out with him playing for a bit, then handing me the system to beat harder areas, but now he's able to play through most of the early stages on his own; he still needs assistance in areas where you need to rotate the camera.
As for the music itself, I'm not really qualified to analyze an early 2000s big band-styled piece. I mean, you've got your drum kit, guitar, bass, brass section, and a classic MIDI saxamaphone. There's probably a piano in there for good measure, too. This song really just stuck out to me as one of the more interesting songs in the first half of the game, as we're currently only in the first area of the third world, and this track happens during the second stage of the first world.
So as Wario says, and is one of The Squire's favorite things to hear Wario say, "Have a rotten day!"
Except don't. Have a wonderful day full of joy, music, and plenty of bulbs of fresh garlic.
