Editing The Steep Canyon

[[File:TSCM.PNG|thumb|S4 The Steep Canyon]]

'''The Steep Canyon''' is the fourth level on the southern side of the [[music box (world)|music box world]] in ''[[Wario Land 3]]''. This area is accessible after both the Yellow Book from [[The Tidal Coast]]'s Gray Chest and the Trident from [[Bank of the Wild River]]'s Gray Chest are acquired by [[Wario]], where both are used to create a storm to opens the path to this level.

The level is a big canyon, with [[current]]s at the bottom. A cave can be accessed through a fissure from the tremors caused by the Foot of Stone, and another cave is past the iron wall that requires the Rust Spray to bypass.

 

 

 

===Treasures===

====Gray Chest: Grab Glove====

It is available as soon as the level is unlocked.

To get to the [[key|Gray Key]], Wario must go up past the [[Fire Robota]], smash the rocks to the right, go down to break the rocks to the left, and then down to the platform. From there, he must go all the way to the right, where there are [[mizu no te]] under some of the platforms that will pull Wario into the water and thus be pulled the current, requiring him to start over from the left side. The key is near the iron wall.

From the Gray Key, Wario must go upwards, and then to the left-leaning slope to roll on it. On the way to the left, there are three Fire Robota and a [[Lump|Prince Froggy]], as well as two gaps that must be jumped over. After rolling and crossing the obstacles and reaching all the way left, the Gray Chest is near where Wario stopped rolling.

The Grab Glove allows Wario to grab small enemies or objects by going near them, though small enemies must be toppled first, thereby allowing them to be carried to a different location and be used to throw at [[Enemy Block]]s to break them. This opens the way for new treasures in [[The Tidal Coast]], [[The Frigid Sea]], and [[The Big Bridge]].

====Red Chest: Tusk (red)====

[[File:WL3 S VolcanosBase8.PNG|thumb|The Tusks and Green Flower]]

The Tusk<ref>{{cite|author=Brady, Matthew K., Nathan Beittenmiller, Debra McBride, and David Cassady|title=''Game Boy Game Secrets, 2001 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=94|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=February 5, 2001|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3090-8}}</ref> (red) in the Red Chest requires the Foot of Stone from [[The Tidal Coast]]'s Red Chest to create a fissure in the wall in this level.

The entrance of the fissure is past the left set of mizu no te but before the right set, where the platform requires going around by breaking the blocks to the right, going up, and then going left to reach the entrance. Within the entrance, the room has several [[Jellybob (Wario Land 3)|Pneumo]]s. The Red Key is below the [[Warp Pipe|pipe]], accessible by triggering [[Puffy Wario]] and then reaching it by either going to the platform above to fall towards it or to float up towards it.

====Green Chest: Telephone====

The {{conjectural|Telephone}} in the Green Chest requires Frog Prince's Glove from [[Out of the Woods]]' Green Chest. This allows Wario to swim past the current within the fissure to access a new area.

To get to the Green Key, first the room within the fissure must be entered by Wario, and then swim through the current underneath the Red Chest to reach a pipe. Within the pipe, Wario must climb to the top by climbing the ladders and springing the [[Togēba]] up in the air to use as platforms. Atop this room, there is a Green Chest and another pipe. The pipe leads to a maze of spikes, which the [[owl (species)|owl]] is required to navigate through. The maze of spikes also have [[spark (Wario Land 3)|spark]]s scattered throughout. To get to the Green Key, the owl must be navigated through the middle to the left to reach it.

To exit the area, the pipe at the left must be entered since the one on the right is one-way. From the Green Key, Wario must go around the body of spikes in the middle by either going left and then down, or down, up-left, left, then down. The pipe leads to the room with Pneumo, where Wario will emerge where the Red Key is. From there, he must make his way to the Green Chest by going to the pipe past the current, and the climbing the ladders and Togēba in this area.

====Blue Chest: Blue Chemical====

The iron wall is on the other end of the body of water. There are three areas past the iron wall: the first one has both the Blue Key and the Blue Chest, but it is blocked by two damaged blocks in a narrow passageway. It also has three [[Spearhead (enemy)|Spearhead]]s. The second area consists of [[Flame (Wario Land 3)|flame]] torches where only the middle one is lit and [[Para-Goom]]s. It also has a [[flame block]] that requires the other three torches to be lighted up to bypass. The third and rightmost area consists of two [[Beam Robota]] and a mini-game block. To get to the Golf minigame, the floor slightly to the right of the Beam Robota must be destroyed with a [[Ground Pound|Smash Attack]] to get to the entrance. After clearing the Golf minigame, the mini-game block opens the way to a left leaning slope, which is required to break the blocks in the first area by rolling from it to travel across from the right and to the left. After the blocks are broken in the first area, the Blue Key can be collect.

===[[Musical Coin]]s===

|align="center"|Within the fissure, there is a room with Pneumo where the Red Chest is. Past the first wall, the Musical Coin is above a Pneumo, and requires Puffy Wario to reach it.

|align="center"|In the room within the fissure, there is a pipe accessible by swimming past the current. The Musical Coin is directly below the Green Chest, which can be reached by springing the second Togēba in the air with a powered-up Smash Attack and then jumping from it.

|align="center"|In the pipe near the Green Chest, there is a maze of spikes and an owl. This Musical Coin is within a dead end on the left side of the owl, reachable by riding the owl.

|align="center"|Within the main area, the Musical Coin is in the top-right. To get to it, Wario must slide down from the slope around the top-left, and then rolling to the right past two Fire Robota and a Prince Froggy, and then breaking the narrow passageway of rocks before the Musical Coin.

|align="center"|Within the rightmost area past the iron wall, there are a series of breakable rocks to the right of the Golf minigame room. The Musical Coin is past those rocks.

|align="center"|Within the rightmost area past the iron wall, this Musical Coin can only be collected after clearing the Golf minigame, giving access to the slope past the mini-game block. From the slope, Wario must roll to the left to where the Blue Key is, past the damaged blocks there and the rocks to the left to reach the Musical Coin.
