Is it still worth playing?

Wario crash lands his plane in a forest, finds a music box and is pulled inside it, in this 2000 platformer for the Game Boy Color. A figure inside tells him he has to find five magical music boxes to get out. The music box world has four areas and 25 stages, and each stage holds four treasures, each in a colored chest that opens with a key of the same color. Treasures can grant Wario new abilities, open paths or unlock a minigame. A world map lets you return to any level, which you often need to do with a new ability to reach a treasure. Opening a chest switches between day and night, which changes the enemies. Wario is invincible, and certain enemies change him into forms that reach new areas. One chest in each level is guarded by a boss. A world map that lets you go back to any level still makes it easy to return for treasures you could not reach before.
