Wario Land: The Shake Dimension - story synopsis

Yesterday, a scan for Wario Land: The Shake Dimension popped up. While it featured some beautiful art from Production I.G., the scan also had a lot of text involving the story. Now, a translation has come along.

Within an Ancient Globe (an old, giant globe exhibited at a museum), there is another world called Yuretopia (translator: “yure” = tremor/shaking). Yuretopia’s peace is shattered by the marauding pirate Shay King. Queen Melfull and her Melfull subjects are imprisoned. Not only that, Shay King claims the legendary treasure “Deldel Purse,” which spits out coins whenever it is shaken. Captain Maple Syrup, the female pirate, observes Yuretopia’s crisis from the outside world. Setting her eyes on the legendary treasure but with no desire of doing the dirty work herself, she steals the Ancient Globe and sends it to Wario. True to form, Wario prepares to raid the beleaguered kingdom when Queen Melfull escapes to the outside world in hopes of finding help. Beseeched by the Queen to become a hero to the kingdom, Wario sets off to Yuretopia where the promise of vast treasures beckons…

It was hard not to confirm Captain Syrup’s return with the image from yesterday, but the scan translation takes away any doubt. Nice to see the return of a classic character.
