yeah, Wario land is in my to play list , among a lot of other games.
And yeah making players go back to the beginning is kinda funny, but it's not has hard than it's sound, most traps are made to send you back to the start anyway. also I can understand you just wanted to finish it.
For the vines it could be funny, if like you said it was just one, but also those instant vines are place at the end of parcour, and being hit by them generally send you back to the begining, and in my case it happen 3-4 time to have to restart again because of them.
