I haven't been thinking much over it but after looking at someone else's analyzation of WL4 I realized how emotionless I was as a child when I played this game and how deeply interesting this game is (and the exact opposite where I liked Star Wars prequels but saw Red Letter Media and found it to be trash). And I'm positive 98% of Pedia members have no idea what this game is anyway so I want to review it.
The story of this game is told via cutscenes and little references here and there and I don't really want to spoil the game's story to you but it's more than just simple good vs. evil. A noble heroShrek does whatever he can to get as much money as possible and accidentally... saves a princess in the process. That's just the tip of how connected the game's plot is to early information given to the game.

The gameplay is like what you'd expect from a Wario game with platforming elements, transformations to break special blocks, Wario destroys small enemies with ease, there's hidden treasure to collect in each level and you have to go back to the start of the stage just like in Metroid. This game is more rewarding to players how can collect a ton of money in each stage and there is plenty of replayability with the alternate endings as well as two harder modes.
There's also a variety of extra content such as minigames and you can listen to the treasures you collect in the sound room. Winning these G&W type games gives you coins you can use to buy weapons to take health away from the boss at the start of the fight and adds some Mega Man effects in terms of usefulness.
The visuals and music is great and really were used at full potential on the GBA. Each level's music has it's own special style and gimmick. The final level of the game tests your skills in a race against time to get treasure.
