North America

With Wario up top and all of his ‘Ware companions split off below, the North American design really is a beauty. We’re big fans of the blue backdrop here, and how the central logo holds everything together, with the dividing lines extending out of it. Good work, all round.

Europe

The European design takes the same Wario art as its NA companion, but subs out the bonus characters and blue backing for something more… yellow. It’s much simpler as a consequence, it’s true, but we always appreciated how the yellow extends up the design to the GameCube banner itself.

Japan

As ever, the Japanese design swings for something different. The Wario PNG is gone, replaced by his key facial features against a pink polka dot background. It’s a more abstract approach, but it’s certainly eye-catching.

Thank you for voting! We’ll see you next week for another edition of Box Art Brawl!
