Wario's Woods is a puzzle game that was originally released by Nintendo for the NES. It is known as the last licensed NES game, and it was also the only NES game to receive an ESRB rating, until the ESRB began to rate NES games for the Virtual Console.
Gameplay
In Wario's Woods, characters control Toad, who can pick up monsters and bombs. By lining up monsters and bombs of the same color, they can be destroyed for points. If the destruction of one row leads to the destruction of other rows, it's called a combo and players are given extra points.
