43. Wario Land: Shake it!
This game plays out like almost like a Saturday morning cartoon, only instead of the hero you play as his jerk rival. FMV cut scenes were a nice touch and the cartoonish art style flows perfectly from those into the actual gameplay. There is waggle-tech since it's a Wii game, but I actually enjoyed how it was implemented. You can grab enemies, then shake the Wiimote like hell to literally shake the coins out of them, before tossing them as a projectile. The game is a bit on the easy side, but it was so full of personality that I had to seek out every last collectible that Wario had set his greedy little heart on.
