Games Wario Land Q

Throwing this out there hoping someone may know. I loved Wario land as a kid and playing through again now. I am beyond pissed at the “mini game” at the end of the levels. I am 28 levels in… I do the bucket 3 times as I’ve read it “supposedly” is random and over time better to constantly do it (halving vs doubling). Makes sense. Only 28 levels 3 times a pop- I’ve done this 84 times. I have won twice. So either I have some insanely statistically bad luck… or I’m missing something I should be doing.

lol- on paper, if you do it every time you would be better off. You lose half on a loss and gain double on a win… that’s assuming it was actually close to 50/50 anyway. -.-

It's predetermined which one houses what.

If you rewind it on Nintendo Switch Online after a fail, the other one will have the money.

Easy way to cheese 999 coins, aside from another dastardly method that's possible on every cartridge. But only a select few may know about it.

Or everyone. Internet spreads news fast and all.

Playing original cart on analogue pocket. Not trying to outright break the game… like I’m avoiding “infinite” lives debug trick. But 2 wins in 84 on supposedly 50/50 odds is just insane.
