| | '''Golden Passage''' is the last level before the final boss, [[Golden Diva]] in the [[Game Boy Advance]] game, ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. It is found in the [[Golden Pyramid]]. This level is very different and is made far more challenging than the others, because at the beginning, [[Wario]] is forced to jump on the [[Frog Switch]] upon entering the level (it is placed towards the end on every other level). The Frog Switch limits the time that the player can spend in the level. So in this case, with the Frog Switch being at the beginning of the level, the player must obtain the [[Keyzer]], along with all four [[Diamond Piece]]s within a strict time limit in order to progress to the next level. |

| '''Golden Passage''' is the last level before the final boss, the [[Golden Diva]], in ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. It is found in the [[Golden Pyramid]]. This level can only be played once Wario has defeated all four [[Wario Land 4#Bosses|bosses]] in the main passages. This level is very different and is made far more challenging than the others because the [[vortex]] drops [[Wario]] directly onto the [[switch (Wario Land 4)|switch]] upon entering the level (like [[Palm Tree Paradise]] in [[Wario Land 4#Game mode|S-Hard mode]]). Therefore, the player must obtain the [[Keyzer]] and all four [[jewel piece]]s within a strict time limit in order to progress to the final boss. Some enemies that are otherwise exclusive to the [[Sapphire Passage]] reappear in this level, including [[Skeleton Bird]]s, [[Men'ono]]s, and [[Minicula]]s. This is also the only level to feature [[chandelier]]s. Like [[Hall of Hieroglyphs]], there is no [[CD]] to collect in this level. Golden Passage is the only level in S-Hard mode where Wario begins with four hearts instead of one. | |
|
| |
|
| The time given to escape the level after hitting the [[Switch (Wario Land 4)|switch]] varies between [[Wario Land 4#Game mode|game modes]], including 9:30 in Normal mode, 6:00 in Hard, and 3:30 in S-Hard. | | The time given to complete the level varies on the game mode. |
|

|
| The actual soundtrack of Golden Passage exists, but it cannot be heard because the usual fast-paced switch music will play throughout the whole level instead. Avoiding the switch cannot be done during normal gameplay, although it is possible with an [[wikipedia:Action Replay|Action Replay]] or another hacking device. (Such devices have also revealed that the reason the switch cannot normally be avoided is that it is surrounded by invisible walls that only despawn once the switch is pressed.) The player can also do a frame-perfect pause at the beginning to hear the song. The unused soundtrack can be heard in the Media section below.

| | *The actual soundtrack of Golden Passage is unhearable, since Wario is not given a chance to listen to it. The usual fast-paced Frog Switch music will play thoughout the whole level. However, the hidden, unheard soundtrack does exist, and can only be heard by avoiding landing on the Frog Switch, which can not be done during normal gameplay; only by using an Action Replay or another hacking device. The unused soundtrack can be heard below. |
