Virtual Boy Wario Land is a great platformer released in November of 1995 in the United States.

Wario can change hats to gain different powers, and has to collect as many treasures as possible while escaping an underground labyrinth.

The sounds and quirkiness factor are very high, and just like the Gameboy Wario Land games, you can see the humor and other gameplay elements carry through to even the most modern Wario games.
