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?]]
1. Is the '''Outer Pyramid''' that is raided by [[Wario]]. He raids it because he reads in a [[:File:WL4-newspaper.PNG|newspaper article]] that this Pyramid has a large amount of [[Legendary Treasure|treasure]] hidden inside. He then gets stuck inside the Pyramid after falling down a [[:File:WL4-WarioFalling.PNG|precipice]].


2. The '''Inner Pyramid''' is in the middle of the main room in the game. It is protected by five passages: the [[Entry Passage]], [[Emerald Passage]], [[Ruby Passage]], [[Topaz Passage]] and [[Sapphire Passage]]. Upon completing all five, Wario can enter the Golden Pyramid itself. It contains one level, the [[Golden Passage]], with the final boss, the [[Golden Diva]] following that.

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]].
The following table displays the two levels found in the Inner Golden Pyramid, with their name, icon and description.

|description1=This is the only level where Wario lands on the [[Switch (Wario Land 4)|switch]] as soon as he enters, requiring Wario to complete the entire level within a time limit. It is decorated with gold bricks, [[chandelier]]s and red drapes. Enemies which are otherwise exclusive to the [[Sapphire Passage]] appear here.

|description2=The final boss of the game, who wears many masks which eventually reveals her true form. The Golden Diva produces a variety of objects and enemies which Wario must utilise to counterattack.

|The very last level is very different in terms of gameplay. For starters, the [[Frog Switch]] appears at the beginning of the level directly above the [[Vortex]], regardless of the [[#Game Modes|game mode]]. This forces Wario to complete the whole level within a [[#List of Frog Switch Times|time limit]]. The whole underground area of this level consists of a river with a strong current that pulls Wario back towards the beginning of the level. In some of the overworld areas, there are places that Wario can fall down, thus causing him to travel back to a certain location due to the water's current. The enemies that appear here all first seen in the [[#Sapphire Passage Enemies|Sapphire Passage]]. If the player is to use an [[Wikipedia:Action Replay|Action Replay]] or some other similar hacking device, they can avoid hitting the Frog Switch and a hidden theme will play as the [[:File:Unused Wario Land 4 Music Golden Passage.OGG|level's true theme]], instead of the [[:File:Wario Land 4 music- Hurry Up!.ogg|normal Frog Switch music]].

|align="center" |[[Golden Diva]] (boss)
|The game's final boss. She wears all four pieces of the [[Legendary Treasure]] collected from previous bosses. At the beginning of the battle, the [[Black Cat]] is brave enough to confront the Diva, but she swallows the feline whole and Wario is left to battle by herself. The Golden Diva has several different attacks, much more than previous bosses. She begins by hiding her face behind her fan, and Wario will have to throw ghostly heads at her. Then she will cast several different enemies, one at a time, to attempt to harm Wario. They are the [[Spike Rock]] (which Wario can [[#Wario's Moves|throw]]), the [[Bear Bomb]] (he must [[#Wario's Moves|ram]]), the [[Black Duck]] (also throw), and the [[Spike Hammer]], which he must throw up in the air so it lands back on top of him, transforming him into [[Bouncy Wario]]. He must then throw himself upward to strike the Diva, and thus damaging her. A few sequences of these enemies will bring the Golden Diva to a low point in her HP. She then unleashes her final phase, where her head grows to a fearsome size and she starts destroying the ground. Wario must [[#Wario's Moves|ram]] the side of her head to know of her last few points of HP. On the last point, she will simply be greatly weakened and none but her lips will remain. A simple attack to these lips will free the swallowed Black Cat. The ending cut-scene follows.
