2011 WL2

2011 WL₂ is a small asteroid that is a Near-Earth object, a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid, and an Apollo asteroid.

Orbit

The orbit of 2011 WL₂ makes it a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) whose orbit has been determined with about 1 year of observations. The orbit of 2011 WL₂ is somewhat uncertain, but could pass a distance of 0.001635 AU (244,600 km) from the Earth in the year 2087. Only the nominal (best-fit) orbit shows a passage this close. The uncertainty region is still somewhat large due to a short observation arc. For comparison, the distance to the Moon is about 0.0026 AU (384,400 km). 2011 WL₂ appears on the list of PHA close approaches issued by the Minor Planet Center (MPC), with the next close approach in the year 2038.

The Jupiter Tisserand invariant, used to distinguish different kinds of orbits, is 5.7.

Wario Land II

Wario Land II (ワリオランド2 盗まれた財宝, Wario Rando Tsū: Nusumareta Zaihō, "Wario Land 2: The Stolen Treasure") is a platform game released for the Game Boy in 1998. It was the last first-party title made for the Game Boy and was later remade to take advantage of the Game Boy Color hardware. In this game, Wario has to recover his treasure from Captain Syrup and her Black Sugar Gang (formerly the Brown Sugar Pirates). The Game Boy Color version was released on the 3DS Virtual Console in 2012.

Gameplay

Unlike in most video games of the time, the game's challenge comes mostly through impeding player progress by implementing physical obstacles, puzzle-solving, paths blocked by coin or treasure locks, or forcing Wario back to previously-visited areas. By finding hidden exits in some stages, the player can change the direction of the game's plot (loose as it is) and uncover different endings, as well as find more treasure. In addition to the Really Final Chapter, five other endings can be unlocked by collecting all the treasures. An enemy-themed Simon Says minigame based on the Game & Watch game Flagman can be unlocked by collecting all the picture tiles. Additionally, unlike most Mario games and even other Wario games, in Wario Land II, Wario does not have any life points and cannot die; some enemy attacks simply knock him backward and cause him to drop some coins. He can take advantage of certain enemy attacks however to undergo transformations which allow him to reach areas that he cannot normally get to. Example: Being hit by an ice attack will freeze him and send him sliding backwards, completely negating spikes.
