'''Drop the anchor!!''' is the fourth story of [[SS Tea Cup|chapter two]] in the game ''[[Wario Land II]]''. It is mainly about [[Wario]] exploring the SS Tea Cup. The level is based on a pirate ship theme and the [[Black Sugar Gang]] patrols the corridors. This level is also the first one to feature the fat ability. Wario has to take advantage of this to find his way to the anchor which he has to drop in order to stop the pirate ship.

This level contains a [[secret exit]], leading to an alternate chapter.

The hidden treasure of this level, the {{conjectural|Wing}}, is located in the room behind the door right to the lone white puff. It is hidden at the top of the room. In order to reach it, the player has to use one of the patrolling Pirate Gooms as a stepping stone to get on top of the cracked pillar in the middle of the room. The player then should ram-jump either to the left or the right side of the screen to climb a hidden ledge. The treasure door lies above the middle.

==Secret exit==
The secret exit can be accessed through the second room. On the lower left of the room is a wall composed of disguised [[Enemy Block]]s. A nearby enemy can be used to smash through the wall. Behind the wall is a door that leads to a secret room. There the player should crush the cracked floor to the left of the entrance and push the stove on the right through the now open gap. The player can then use the stove to access the door to the lower right. The door will lead to another room where a giant skull-faced block like the one in [[Let the water out!|Stage 1-3]] awaits. The player will unlock a [[Ruins at the Bottom of the sea|new chapter]] by destroying the block.

After this, the SS Tea Cup will leak and sink to the bottom of the sea where the remains of an ancient civilization lies hidden.
