Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, known in Japan as Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land, is a 1994 platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy. A spin-off of the Mario series, it follows Wario, the antagonist of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (1992), as he travels around an island in an attempt to find the treasures necessary to purchase his own castle. The player traverses through side-scrolling levels, avoiding obstacles and jumping between platforms, while collecting coins and treasure in order to progress.

Where Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 50ahead of 7% of the catalogue
- Reach

Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
