| The '''Black Jewel''' (written in lowercase as '''black jewel''' in ''[[Wario World]]'' and alternatively called the '''Evil Black Jewel''' in the game's ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' guide and official website<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20030608135007/http://wario-world.com/]</ref>) is the main antagonist and final boss in ''Wario World''. Prior to the events of the game, [[Wario]] obliviously collected the evil Black Jewel, assuming it was simply another treasure, and it destroyed the newly-renovated [[Wario Castle]] once it awoke. Despite its name, it is actually purple (although its name may refer to its dark nature), and has one eye and several pink appendages somewhat resembling octopus arms. | |

| ==History==
| | The '''Black Jewel''' is an evil treasure that [[Wario]] collected, in the game, ''[[Wario World]]''. It kicked Wario out of his castle, turned all his treasures into monsters, and turned his castle into a strange world. Wario had to embark on a quest to get back his castle and treasures. The Black Jewel only awoke on an evening were a red moon rose. It wiped out all civilization long ago and returned. But little did The Black Jewel know that Wario had beaten every [[bosses|boss]] of the other worlds and was coming for it. Then after finishing The Black Jewel, Wario reclaimed his castle and treasures and lived happily ever after. |

| According to ''Wario World''{{'}}s intro movie, the jewel once fed on peoples' wishes to grow power. It eventually grew so powerful, it became a huge threat to civilization, sending armies of evil spirits across the land in an attempt to conquer the world. The [[Spriteling]]s were able to overpower and capture it somehow, and seal it away within their ruins. Many years later, long after these events were forgotten, Wario found the black jewel and stole it, unbeknownst to the dreadful powers it held.

|
| On the night that Wario is celebrating his huge gains in his newly-built castle, the jewel re-awakens, destroys the castle, turns most of Wario's treasures into monsters, and scatters the rest. Wario falls and lands in what has become of his castle; a strange hub-world with four main worlds attached to it, known as [[Treasure Square]]. Wario must complete these worlds and defeat their bosses in order to acquire the [[Huge Treasure Chest Key]] that will open the black jewel's [[Treasure Chest]].

|
| As a boss, the black jewel has three attacks. The first one is using its eye to fire a laser and scorch the ground, creating a wall of fire. It will use this attack until Wario is trapped between two walls of fire narrow enough. If the space is very narrow, the black jewel will lower itself to the ground and fire shockwaves in each color of the rainbow across the floor which will have to be [[jump]]ed over, similar to those that [[Bowser]] makes in the final battle of ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. If the fire-walls are not very narrow, the black jewel will fire homing [[fireball]]s from its eye.

|
| To defeat the black jewel, the player will have to free the five [[Spriteling]]s (or the cages of any Spritelings left imprisoned) that are trapped in crystals on the battlefield, which will smack themselves into the monster, knocking it unconscious. Wario must then pick it up and use any one of his [[Mad Move]]s on it. The black jewel has eight [[Heart Point|HP]], more than any other boss in the game. Once this HP has been depleted, the jewel, while leaking tears from both sides of its eye, will let out a piercing scream before exploding into pieces.

| In the Japanese version, the fight is split into two phases. For the first four points of health, the fight is as previously described, but with ten Spritelings per round instead of five. At half health, the black jewel begins using several new attacks: diving at Wario to create a shockwave, charging straight at him while cloaked in fire, attempting to trap Wario with a ring of fire, and spitting out a barrage of [[crate]]s from its eye, which may contain [[coin]]s, [[bomb]]s, or [[garlic]].
| |
| | |
| Without the Spritelings' help, Wario has to attack the black jewel directly, eventually stunning it long enough to perform a Mad Move on it and take a point of health, cracking it in the process.<ref>http://tcrf.net/Wario_World#Black_Jewel</ref>

| |
| | |
| The Black Jewel is mentioned by [[Wario]] in the [[Castle Trodain]] board in ''[[Fortune Street]]'', where Wario claims that a wand is a better treasure than a Black Jewel. In this game, the name is capitalized as a proper noun, unlike in ''Wario World''.
