The Golden Diva possesses four artifacts that were worn by prior bosses in the game: the crown that belonged to [[Cractus]], the earrings that belonged to [[Cuckoo Condor]], the necklace that belonged to [[Aerodent]], and the bracelets that belonged to [[Catbat]]. The enemies that she creates also resemble these bosses. | The Golden Diva possesses four artifacts that were worn by prior bosses in the game: the crown that belonged to [[Cractus]], the earrings that belonged to [[Cuckoo Condor]], the necklace that belonged to [[Aerodent]], and the bracelets that belonged to [[Catbat]].

The Golden Diva cursed [[Princess Shokora]] while she slept within the [[Golden Pyramid]], stealing treasures and turning Princess Shokora into a [[Kuro Neko|black cat]]. The Golden Diva stays at the center of an [[Golden Pyramid|ancient pyramid]] at the end of the [[Golden Passage]], guarding her hoard of [[legendary treasure]]. [[Wario]] reads a [[:File:WL4-Newspaper.png|newspaper article]] about the treasure, and out of greed, he aims to steal it for himself. | The Golden Diva cursed [[Princess Shokora]] while she slept within the [[Golden Pyramid]], stealing treasures and turning Princess Shokora into a [[Kuro Neko|black cat]].

Before the battle starts, Princess Shokora (who had been transformed into a black cat) tries to attack the Golden Diva. However, Shokora's minor tackle is not enough to defeat the Diva. The princess is abducted by the Diva's magic. When the true battle is initiated, the Diva splits her head into four copies. Three of these copies are transparent, while the other attacks Wario. When touched by a head, Wario is picked up, twirled about, and thrown at the ground, an attack which causes precious time to be wasted. Wario must jump on top of the head, making it turn blue and angry. Then Wario must pick up the head and do a charged throw upwards at the Diva's fan. | |||
Once the fan is gone, she has four other attacks. Her first is throwing down a [[green enemy]]. This creature has spikes all around it and floats back and forth towards the ground, like a [[Butatabi]]. Wario must jump on top of the creature to stun it and [[Wario Land 4#Wario's moves|throw]] it at the Diva's mask. | Once the fan is gone, she has four other attacks.

Her third attack is much like [[Cuckoo Condor]]'s second form's attack. The Diva magically sends [[black egg]]s that appear and drop to the ground. When they hit the ground, they hatch into black ducks that home in on Wario and explode (significantly faster than the chicks hatched from Cuckoo Condor). To damage the Golden Diva when she attacks in this way, Wario must grab the eggs before they fall and [[Wario Land 4#Wario's moves|throw]] them at her face. If he does not throw the egg in time, it will flash a bit before exploding, hurting Wario instead. | Her third attack is much like [[Cuckoo Condor]]'s second form's attack.

The Golden Diva's fourth and final attack is a little more complex. She sends a [[Hammer (Wario Land 4)|hammer]] falling to the ground. The spikes will disappear after a few seconds Wario must pick it up and throw it in the air so he can hit himself in the head with it. This will transform him into [[Bouncy Wario]], and he must spring up and hit the mask to damage it. | The Golden Diva's fourth and final attack is a little more complex.

After hitting her enough times, her masks will disappear and reveal her true, grotesque, and sinister-looking face. In this form, her arms are visible. She will try to attack Wario by plunging down whenever he passes underneath her and smashing the ground, revealing the spikes underneath it. Wario can damage the Diva by side tackling and jumping at her head after she has pounded the floor. After two attacks, she gets angrier and even more grotesque, and she withdraws faster from the ground, which makes it more difficult for Wario to reach her with an attack. When she is left with a single point of HP, her body disappears, leaving only her [[lips]]. The spikes and what remains of the floor will also vanish. Once her lips are attacked, the black cat is freed from them, and the Golden Diva is defeated. Any remaining [[treasure chest]]s, and all four pieces of jewelry worn by the Diva are recovered. The closing sequence will then begin to play, showing Wario and the black cat running to escape the Pyramid as it begins to crumble. | After hitting her enough times, her masks will disappear and reveal her true, grotesque, and sinister-looking face.
