A '''switch''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Wario Land 4'' instruction booklet|page=15|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=2001}}</ref> also referred to as a '''Timer'''<ref>{{cite|date=Fall 2001|title=''Nintendo Power Advance'' Volume 3|page=56|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> or '''Portal Switch''',<ref>{{cite|date=March 2002|title=''Nintendo Official Magazine'' (UK) Issue 114|page=59}}</ref> is an object appearing at the end of every [[level]] in ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. When Wario [[jump]]s on a switch, it opens to reveal a ticking time bomb, and any solid [[Kaeru Block]]s turn transparent and vice-versa. [[Wario]] then yells, ''"Hurry up!"'' (or occasionally ''"No-no-no... Hurry up!"'' or ''"H-H-Hurry up!"''), the game's theme becomes more intense, and the player is given a certain amount of time to escape the level by returning to the [[vortex]] at the beginning of the stage. If Wario does not escape before the timer runs out, his [[Coin (Wario Land 4)|coin]]s and score will quickly deplete. If the score reaches zero, Wario will be forced out of the level and back to the main map. In [[Fiery Cavern]], the switch turns the level into ice. In [[Hotel Horror]], there are two doors that have a frog sign on them. Those doors open only when the switch is hit. The [[Golden Passage]]'s switch is located at the beginning of the level in all modes.

A '''[[switch]]''',<ref>''Wario Land 4'' American instruction booklet, page 15.</ref> also referred to as a '''Timer'''<ref>''Nintendo Power Advance'' V.3, page 56.</ref> or '''Portal Switch''',<ref>''Nintendo Official Magazine'' (UK) Issue 114, page 59.</ref> is an object that appears at the end of every level in ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. When [[Wario]] jumps on a switch, it will open up to reveal a ticking time bomb, and any solid [[Kaeru Block]]s will turn transparent and vice-versa. Wario then yells "Hurry up!", the game's theme becomes more intense, and the player is given a certain amount of time to escape the level by returning to the [[vortex]] at the beginning of the stage. If Wario does not escape before the timer runs out, his [[Coin (Wario Land 4)|coin]]s and score will quickly deplete. If the score reaches zero, Wario will be forced out of the level and back to the main map.


In ''[[Densetsu no Starfy 3]]'', a switch is located in the middle of [[starfywiki:Undersea Ruins|Kaitei Iseki]], where it opens a new area.
The times given by the switches vary on the [[Wario Land 4#Game mode|game mode]]. In the level [[Fiery Cavern]], the switch turns the level into ice. In [[Hotel Horror]], there are two doors which have a frog sign on it. These doors will only open when the switch is hit.
__TOC__

*A redesign of this switch is [[tcrf:Wario Land: Shake It!/Unused Object Graphics#Frog Goal|unused]] in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'' It is still mostly functional and activates [[shake block]]s.

*Wario's "''Hurry Up!''" dialogue is not always the same. Wario can say "''No-no-no.. Hurry up!''" or "''H-H-Hurry up!''" as well.
