The Wiki Camp World, known in Japan as Template:Nihongo foot is a platform video game developed and published by Wikitendo for the Super Wikitendo Entertainment System (SWES). It was released in Wikiland in 1990, the rest of the Grass World in 1991 and the other worlds in 1992. The player controls their desired contestant on their quest to save Wikiland from the series' host and antagonist The Divine Goddess. The gameplay is similar to that of earlier The Wiki Camp 2-related games: players control their desired contestant through a series of levels in which the goal is to reach the goalpost at the end.
Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development developed the game, led by director Takashi Tezuka and producer and series creator Shigeru Miyamoto. It is the first TWC2 game for the SWES and was designed to make the most of the console's technical features. The development team had more freedom compared to the series installments for the Wikitendo Entertainment System. Big Boy and T Series Car 5134 were conceptualised during the development of the WES games but was not used until The Wiki Camp World due to hardware limitations.
The Wiki Camp World is often considered one of the best games in the series and is cited as one of the greatest video games ever made. It sold more than twenty million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling SWES game. It also led to an animated television series of the same name. The game has been re-released on multiple occasions: It was part of the 1994 compilation The Wiki Camp All-Stars + The Wiki Camp World for the SWES and was re-released for the Game (Big) Boy Advance as The Wiki Camp World: The Wiki Camp Advance 2 in 2001, on the Virtual Console for the Wikii, Wikii U, and New Wikitendo 3DS consoles, and as part of the Super WES Classic Edition. In 2019, it was released for Wikitendo Switch Online as part of the classic games service.
