| The '''Bank of the Wild River''' is the fourth level on the northern side of the [[music box (world)|music box world]] in ''[[Wario Land 3]]''. After the [[Music Box|music box]] in [[A Town in Chaos]]' Red Chest is collected, then the music from the music box is played, causing this level to be unlocked alongside [[The Tidal Coast]]. | | The '''Bank of the Wild River''' is a location found in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'' of the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'' series]]. It serves as the fourth of six levels that can be found on the north side of the [[Music Box World]]. [[Wario]] can come here after he finds the second Music Box. The level gets unlocked simultaneously with another one: [[The Tidal Coast]]. |
|
| |
|
| The level takes place on a flowing river which spans two areas. The first area, which is at the beginning, contains many rocky structures where caves are hidden inside them. The next area past the current contains vines on the tree. To the left, there is a crystal cave. The boss in this level is [[Pesce]]. | | The level-design itself revolves mostly around the aforementioned river and its surroundings. The starting point of the level lies in the riverbed and the main area is set atop of overgrown black rocks. The water of the river is in steady movement, resulting in strong currents that sweep Wario away if he falls into the water. Some of the rocks are hollow and have rooms hidden in them. A damp crystal cave filled with [[Kobatto]] lies near the river, accessible through a ledge next to the starting point. Further up the stream lies an area full of vines which eventually lead to another cave. A large fish creature called [[Pesce]] lives there. |

| | The {{conjectural|Anger Halberd}} is hidden inside the [[Treasure Chest|Gray Chest]] which is located right at the start of the level. However, the [[Key|Gray Key]] needed to open the chest can only be found up the river. Wario has to travel upstreams on foot, collect the key, and return to the start, riding the currents and evading the sea urchins. |

| ===Treasures===
| |
| ====Gray Chest: Trident====
| |
| [[File:WL3 S BankOfTheWildRiver5.png|thumb|left|The Trident's head]]
| |
| The Trident<ref>{{cite|author=Brady, Matthew K., Nathan Beittenmiller, Debra McBride, and David Cassady|title=''Game Boy Game Secrets, 2001 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=93|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=February 5, 2001|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3090-8}}</ref> is hidden inside the [[treasure chest|Gray Chest]]. It is available as soon as the level is unlocked.
| |
| | |
| The [[key|Gray Key]] is all the way to the right, where Wario must jump over and drop from four rocky hills on his way. On the way, there are [[Spear-bot]]s and [[Fire Robota]]. The Gray Key is atop the thin platforms.
| |
| | |
| To get to the Gray Chest, which is near where Wario started, Wario must go in the river to ride the [[current]] while avoiding the [[Haridama]], as contact with them trigger [[Puffy Wario]] to cause Wario to float out of the water. After making his way the end, Wario can collect the Gray Chest by jumping out of the water.
| |
| | |
| After collecting both the Trident from this chest and the Yellow Book from [[The Tidal Coast]]'s Gray Chest, a lightning storm is summoned at the southern side of the world, where the ensuing lightning and rain causes a fissure and unlocking [[The Steep Canyon]].

| | ===Red Chest: Magnifying Glass=== |
| [[File:WL3 S BankOfTheWildRiver6.PNG|thumb|The Magnifying Glass shows the treasures that have already been collected.]] | | [[File:WL3 S BankOfTheWildRiver6.PNG|thumb|The Magnifying Glass shows the treasures that have already been collected.]] |
| The Magnifying Glass,<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20010429065908/http://www.warioland3.com/strategy/body.asp?key_id=N4_RED&land_id=N4|title=N4_RED|publisher=''Wario Land 3'' website|accessdate=June 4, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Brady, Matthew K., Nathan Beittenmiller, Debra McBride, and David Cassady|title=''Game Boy Game Secrets, 2001 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=94|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=February 5, 2001|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3090-8}}</ref> also called the magnifier,<ref>{{cite|date=June 2000|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 133|page=66|quote=The magnifier you win from N4’s Red Chest allows you to view which items you’ve collected in an area.}}</ref> is in the Red Chest. It requires the Super Smash from [[Tower of Revival]]'s Red Chest to access, which is needed to reveal secret doors in this level. | | The {{conjectural|Magnifying Glass}} within the Red Chest is hidden inside one of the hollow rocks that are scattered across the riverbed. The respective key is hidden in a similar fashion. Wario needs the powered up [[Dash Attack]] to progress, which he gains by eating the Garlic Ball from the [[Tower of Revival]]. With increased strength he is able to smash through to the holes that lead into the hollow rocks and find the treasure. |
| | |
| From the beginning, the cave that the Red Key is located in is all the way to the right, where Wario must go left and use the powered-up [[Dash Attack]] to break the rocks from the right to reveal. The Red Key is just to the right within the cave.
| |
| | |
| To get to the Red Chest, Wario must go underwater and then swim along the current to the left, and then jump out of the water at the third Haridama, where he must used the Dash Attack on the rocks to the left to reveal another cave. The Red Chest is just to the right within the cave.
| |
|
| |
|
| The Magnifying Glass enables the player to check the collected treasures within a level as well as check if they have previously collected all Musical Coins in one go without entering it. On the overworld map, holding {{button|gbc|b}} brings up the menu in addition to showing where Wario can travel on the map. | | The Magnifying Glass gives the player the ability to check which treasuries from which levels they have already collected, without having to enter said level. This can be achieved by pressing the [[Game Boy Color|B Button]] while idling over a level on the world map. |

| ====Green Chest: Statue====
| | ===Green Chest: Statue=== |

| [[File:WL3 S BankOfTheWildRiver4.PNG|thumb|Wario, fighting the Pesce]]
| | The Statue<ref>Brady, Matthew K., Nathan Beittenmiller, Debra McBride, and David Cassady. ''Game Boy Game Secrets, 2001 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 96.</ref> can be found in the Green Chest all the way up the river, in a cavern. Wario has to best [[Pesce]] the fish in order to reach it. Beforehead though, he must reach the fish's lair by passing through a river sequence overgrown with vines. The Player needs the Super Swimming Flippers from [[Out of the Woods]] to be able to Super Swim upstream, which is necessary to complete this mission. |
| The Statue<ref>{{cite|author=Brady, Matthew K., Nathan Beittenmiller, Debra McBride, and David Cassady|title=''Game Boy Game Secrets, 2001 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=96|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=February 5, 2001|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3090-8}}</ref> is in the Green Chest. It requires the Prince Frog's Glove from [[Out of the Woods]]' Green Chest to acquire. This allows Wario to swim past the current to reach a new area. | |
| | |
| The area to the treasure is all the way right past the current, where there is another area to the right. In this new area, Wario must climb the vines to the right while avoiding or eliminating the [[Kushimushi]] and avoiding the [[Spike (Wario Land series)|spikes]]. The Green Key is close to the door on a high platform.
| |
| | |
| Within the door, there is a room where the Green Chest is down the ladder. However, the current flows too fast that Wario cannot reach the chest from there. In order to stop the flow, Wario must go through the door to the right above water, which leads to a room that contains the boss, [[Pesce]].
| |
|
| |
|
| In the arena, Pesce is underwater, while a dragonfly is above water and can be ridden on. If Wario goes underwater, Pesce will pursue Wario and put him in its mouth if it faces Wario, after which it will go to the current and spit Wario out, ejecting him out of battle. Occasionally, a fly carrying cheese will fly down from the right to the left. If Wario bumps into the fly, it will drop the cheese. If Pesce sees the cheese, it will eat it, which causes it to become fatter. After two more blocks of cheese are fed to Pesce, it will become heavy and sink to the surface, after which it blocks the current from flowing. The dragonfly will fly from above, which Wario can ride on to go back to the previous room. In the room, the current stopped flowing and the Green Chest can be accessed.
| | [[File:WL3 S BankOfTheWildRiver4.PNG|thumb|Wario, fighting Pesce]] |
| | To win against Pesce, Wario has to feed the fish/mouse hybrid cross with cheese, until he gets too heavy to swim and sinks down to the ground, where the strong [[current]]s will catch him and sweep him away. His body mass will then block the currents from escaping, which makes the Green Chest reachable. Various insects hover over the water surface to aid Wario in his intentions: A dragonfly that carries him, and flies carrying infinite amounts of cheese. |
|
| |
|
| The Statue weaves the grillage in both The Tidal Coast and [[Tower of Revival]], allowing Wario to climb further up the grillage in those levels.
| | Once the Statue has been freed from the chest, he travels to various levels and produces patches of wire, which Wario can use to climb to higher locations and reach more treasuries. The affected levels are The Tidal Coast and the [[Tower of Revival]]. |

| | ===Blue Chest: Rocket=== |
| [[File:WL3 S BankOfTheWildRiver8.PNG|thumb|Wario, finding the yellow Rocket]] | | [[File:WL3 S BankOfTheWildRiver8.PNG|thumb|Wario, finding the yellow Rocket]] |
| The {{conjectural|Rocket}} is in the Blue Chest. It requires the Air-Pump from [[The Colossal Hole]]'s Red Chest to acquire, which causes the glass container in the water to float on the surface. | | The {{conjectural|Rocket}} lies in the crystal cave next to the starting point. The Player needs the Powerful Pump from [[The Colossal Hole]] in order to reach the entrance of the cave. Inside Wario encounters various Kobatto which turn him into his [[Vampire Wario|Vampire form]] once they bite him. Wario has to make use of this so he can overcome the obstacles in that cave, find the Blue Key, and get the treasure from the Blue Chest. |
|
| |
|
| The cave in which the treasure is located is to the left, which is accessible after the glass container is on the surface, which Wario can use as a platform to reach it. Within the cave, there is a [[Lump|Prince Froggy]] to the left, which requires [[Vampire Wario]] triggered by the [[Kobatto]] to the right. Vampire Wario must transform into a bat to go around the waterfalls since he cannot move past them as a vampire. Water drops turn Wario back to normal. The Blue Key is up in the ceiling slightly right of the leftmost Prince Froggy.
| | Finding the Rocket will not affect the world in any way. |
|
| |
|
| From the Blue Key, Wario must eliminating the Prince Froggy blocking the way to the left as Vampire Wario, and then touch a water drop to revert back to normal. After that, he must climb up the ladders and then go to the left while avoiding the Kobatto. In this area, Wario must go all the way down while smashing the blocks and avoiding the [[Flame (Wario Land 3)|Flame]]s to retrieve a rock, and then carry it all the way up to break the [[Enemy Block]]s, in order to touch the Flame to trigger [[Flaming Wario|Hot Wario]]. As Hot Wario, he must make his way back to the area to the right and wait until he is completely in fire while avoiding the water drop (which returns Wario back to normal). As a living fire, Wario must move left to break the [[Bonfire Block]]s to the left, and then collect the Blue Chest after returning back to normal.
