| | *In the one level of the pyramid, the Golden Passage, the player is forced to land on the Frog Switch as soon as they enter the level, and therefore can never hear the level's normal background music without using an Action Replay to avoid the switch. However, the track does exist. |

| The '''Golden Pyramid''' is a location in ''[[Wario Land 4]]'' which was once ruled by [[Princess Shokora]].<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|title=''[[Wario Land 4]]'' instruction booklet|page=6|quote=When I read the article, I learned that the ruins held the buried pyramid where the princess Shokora, who once ruled this area, had been put into a cursed sleep by the arrogant, selfish, money-crazed Golden Diva.|date=2001|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> However it has been taken over by the [[Golden Diva]], the game's main antagonist. Wario visits the pyramid deep within a jungle after he reads a newspaper article about the "legendary treasure" hidden there. In the game's intro, Wario follows a [[Kuro Neko|black cat]] to the pyramid's entrance, and he falls down a precipice in the pyramid, landing at the [[Entry Passage]] to commence the first level of the game. Other locations in the Golden Pyramid include the [[Emerald Passage]], [[Ruby Passage]], [[Topaz Passage]], [[Sapphire Passage]], [[Sound Room]], [[Mini-Game Shop]], and [[Item Shop (Wario Land 4)|Item Shop]].
| |
| | |
| The pyramid contains a [[Sound Room]] and six passages, each with a boss and either two or four levels. [[Switch (Wario Land 4)|Switches]] are found before each level, which open up a [[vortex]] to transport Wario to another world away from the Golden Pyramid. [[Treasure chest]]s and pieces of jewellery are recovered after defeating each boss, and these are later found with the final boss, the [[Golden Diva]]. Once she is defeated, the Golden Pyramid begins to crumble. Wario hauls the treasure in a sack and follows the black cat out of the pyramid, watching it disappear in the ground. It is then revealed that the black cat is [[Princess Shokora]], who thanks Wario and is lifted into the sky.

| The Golden Pyramid makes a minor appearance in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' as a picture in the opening cutscene, along with the Music Box from ''[[Wario Land 3]]''. A similar picture appears in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'' as one of the possible obstructions in Level 3 of the [[microgame]] [[Where Goes the Nose?]] | |

| The Golden Pyramid also refers to the final area of the game, which rises out of the ground to reveal a door once the player has cleared the five passages preceding it. It contains one level, the [[Golden Passage]], followed by the final boss, the [[Golden Diva]].
