The '''Golden Pyramid''' is a location in ''[[Wario Land 4]]'' | The '''Golden Pyramid''' is a location in ''[[Wario Land 4]]'' which was once ruled by [[Princess Shokora]].<ref>''[[Wario Land 4]]'' North American game manual, page 6 - "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."</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. | ||
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 pyramid contains a [[Sound Room]] and six passages, each with a boss and either two or four levels.
