| '''The Vast Plain''' is the third level on the northern side of the [[music box (world)|music box world]] in ''[[Wario Land 3]]''. This level, along with [[The Peaceful Village]], becomes accessible after [[Wario]] acquires the Axe from [[Out of the Woods]]' Gray Chest, which is used to chop the large tree that blocks the way to those levels. Notably, this level requires Wario to go to the halfway point between the first and second levels, in order to go right to access this level. | | '''The Vast Plain''' is a location found in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'' of the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'' series]]. It is the third of six levels on the north side of the [[Music Box World]]. At first the entrance to The Vast Plain is blocked, but it becomes accessible, along with [[The Peaceful Village]], after [[Wario]] finds the Ax from [[Out of the Woods]] and cuts down the tree. |

|
| The starting point of The Vast Plain is a prairie-like environment, with grass growing along the way and mountains in the background. From the level, there is a path leading sky connected to a pipe, which leads to an area within the clouds and either the [[Sun (Wario Land 3)|sun]] or [[Mr. Moon]] depending on the time of day. There is also an underground area behind a 5-ton block that contains torches and zombies. This is the only level where there are two Golf minigame rooms and two mini-game blocks. Despite there being two of each, completing only one of the Golf minigame rooms is required to lift both blocks. | | The starting point of The Vast Plain lies in a prairie-like environment, with grass growing along the way and mountains in the background. Several holes in the ground lead to small underground caves. A door that can only be passed by [[Invisible Wario]] is located in the middle of the plain. Aside from the ground level, Wario can also explore the sky and the underground later. The sky above the plain is the habitat of two invulnerable enemies. At daytime, he can find [[Mr. Sun]] here, who tries to [[Flaming Wario|set him on fire]]. If he comes here at night, he faces [[Mr. Moon]] who shoots [[Electric Wario|stunning]] stars at him. Below the plain lies a vast cavern lit by eerily burning torches. The place is also filled with guarded doors and [[Zombie]]s. There are also some smaller caves, one filled with grindstone-wielding robots, one filled with [[Jellybob]]s, and another one filled with water. |

| | The Keystone Fragment can be found inside the [[Treasure Chest|Grey Treasure Chest]], which is located all the way across The Vast Plain. To open it, Wario has to find the [[Key|Grey Key]], which is conveniently placed directly next to the chest. However, a security door separates the chest from the key, so Wario needs to be invisible to reach the key. |

| ==Reaction abilities== | | After Wario found both fragments of the Keystone hidden in The Vast Plain and The Peaceful Village, he witnesses a cutscene. During the scene, the two fragments fly to the gate at the foot of a hill on the worldmap and form a stone tablet. This stone tablet then fits into the keyhole of the gate, which opens it. The gate then disappears, and Wario is allowed to access the [[Desert Ruins]] on the west side of the Music Box World. |

With his new [[Ground Pound]] move he can move the mole-like creature at the starting point of the level to unvover a [[Warp Pipe]] leading to said cave. The Chest and the Key are located in the cave, and Wario has to make use of his [[Puffy Wario]] ability, as well as to play a game of golf to reach both of them. |

| | Once the Blue Crayon has been collected, it flies to a hill on the north side of the Music Box World. A building resembling a tower can be found there, complete with a door and a sign that reads "GAME". The scene is initially monochrome, but gains another color for each Crayon Wario manages to find. There are seven Crayons in total hidden throughout the game, and once Wario finds all of them, he will be able to play the golf minigame there at every time the player desires. The blue Crayon colors the bushes that surround the building. |
| ===Treasures===
| |
| ====Gray Chest: Green Tablet====
| |
| [[File:WL3 S PeacefulVillage5.PNG|thumb|left|The Blue and Green Tablets, opening the gate]]
| |
| The Green Tablet<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=89|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=February 5, 2001|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3090-8}}</ref> can be found inside the [[treasure chest|Gray Chest]]. It is available as soon as the level is unlocked. | |
|
| |
|
| The Gray Key is all the way to the right above ground, where Wario must jump across the platforms. On the way, there are [[Para-Goom]]s, as well as [[Teruteru]] that will obscure Wario's view until he hits a wall or he gets damaged. Further along, there is a [[Mad Scienstein]] right above a [[seeing-eye door]], where in order to get past the door, Wario must get hit by one of Mad Scienstein's potions to become [[Invisible Wario]]. Past the seeing-eye door and all the way to the right, there is a ladder in which the Gray Chest is, as well as another seeing-eye door to the left. The Gray Key is to the left of the door. | | ===Green Chest: The Red Skull Ring=== |
| | [[Image:WL3 S VastPlain6.PNG|thumb|left|The two Skull Rings.]] |
| | The Green Treasure chest with the Red Skull Ring is located in the sky above The Vast Plain. It gets within Wario's reach after he collects the Miracle Seed from [[The Big Bridge]], which will cause vines to grow all over the place. One of the vines will take him to the cave that leads to the sky. There he has to evade the attacks of Mr. Sun and Mr. Moon, while collecting the Green Key and playing another game of golf. |
|
| |
|
| After getting the Gray Key, Wario must get rid of his invisibility in order to be able to collect the chest. In order to do that, Wario must enter a [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] which causes him to become visible again. Some pipes can be found underneath the plains. After becoming visible, he must go back to the Gray Chest by going up the ladder, all the way right, and then up the ladder to reach the chest.
| | The Red and the Blue Skull Ring from The Vast Plain and [[The Pool of Rain]] respectively play a key role in accessing the [[Tower of Revival]]. Together they are able to summon the Tower to rise from the ground. After Wario puts on both rings and clicks them together, the tower appears on the south side of the Music Box World. |
| | <br clear=all> |
| | ===Blue Chest: The Red Bracelet=== |
| | [[Image:WL3 S VastPlain7.PNG|thumb|Wario finds the Red Bracelet.]] |
| | The Red Bracelet becomes reachable after Wario finds the two colored chemicals from [[Ste Steep Canyon]] and [[Beneath the Waves]]. Together they move the block which covers the entrance to the cave lit by torches. The cave holds both the Blue Treasure Chest, as well as its key. The many security doors in the cave must be overcome with [[Mad Scienstein]]'s invisibility potion. Using this and the [[Zombie Wario|Zombie ability]], Wario eventually finds himself in a room filled with invisible platforms, where he also can find the chest he is looking for. |
|
| |
|
| The Green Tablet from this chest and the Blue Tablet from The Peaceful Village's Gray Chest causes the western side to be unlocked after both of them are fitted into slots on a door to open it, thus making [[Desert Ruins]] accessible.
| | Collecting the Red Bracelet does not affect the Music Box World in any way. |

| ====Red Chest: Crayon (blue)==== | | ==Screenshots== |
| [[File:WL3 S VastPlain5.PNG|thumb|The bushes, colored by the blue crayon]]
| |
| The blue Crayon<ref name=CrayonRing>{{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=91|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=February 5, 2001|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3090-8}}</ref> is in the Red Chest. It requires the Lead Overalls from [[The Volcano's Base]]'s Gray Chest to access, which allows Wario to [[Ground Pound|Smash Attack]] to bump [[Futamogu]] down and destroy damaged blocks beneath Wario.
| |
| | |
| In order to get the area containing the Red Key, Wario must use a [[Ground Pound|Smash Attack]] on the [[Futamogu]] to the left to lower it, after which he can enter the pipe to the new area. Within this area, Wario must go to the third [[Jellybob (Wario Land 3)|Pneumo]] to trigger [[Puffy Wario]], in order to float past the thin platform above. After returning to normal, Wario can use a [[Dash Attack]] to the right to break the blocks in order to collect the Red Key.
| |
| | |
| After collecting it, Wario must then go all the way to the left while breaking the blocks on the way. The wall to the left can be broken with a Dash Attack, which returns Wario to where he started after descending from the pipe. After dropping, Wario must go to the Golf minigame room in order to lift the mini-game block to the right. After completing the Golf minigame, Wario can go all the way to the right where there are three columns separated by [[Spike (Wario Land series)|spikes]] and a Pneumo. That Pneumo must be used to trigger Puffy Wario so that he floats on the middle column, which brings him up past a thin platform. After returning to normal, Wario can go left, which is where the Red Chest is.
| |
| | |
| The blue Crayon flies to the tower on the northern side of the world. The crayon is used to color one part of the are that is initially monochrome. The blue crayon colors the bushes that surround the building. After the area is colored by seven different crayons, the Golf minigame there can be played.
| |
| ====Green Chest: Skull Ring (red)====
| |
| [[File:WL3 S VastPlain6.PNG|thumb|left|The Skull Rings.]]
| |
| The Skull Ring<ref name=CrayonRing/> is in the Green Chest. It requires the Magic Seeds from [[The Big Bridge]]'s Gray Chest, which causes vines to grow in this level, one of which leads to the area with this chest.
| |
| | |
| To get to the pipe that leads to the chest, Wario must first go past the first seeing-eye door as Invisible Wario, and then climb the vine to the right all the way up to enter the pipe to the left. In the area up the pipe, Wario must go right while avoiding being squashed by the [[Omodon]] dropped by the [[Omodonmeka]]. If they trigger [[Flat Wario]], Wario must unflatten himself by the blue Omodonmeka all the way to the left. After Wario makes his way all the way to the right, he must go up, and then to the left to a pipe to go up. The pipe leads to the sky, where the [[Sun (Wario Land 3)|sun]] or [[Mr. Moon]] (during the day or night respectively) is waiting. To get to the Green Key, Wario must follow the platforms to the right, while avoiding the blasts by either the sun or Mr. Moon.
| |
| | |
| After collecting the Green Key, Wario must complete a round of Golf. The room to play the minigame is higher in this area, where he must return to the left to the third platform from the left, and then jump up to the right platforms, and then up to the left platforms, where the room is at the end. After completing the minigame, Wario must make his way to the right to break the blocks and pass the mini-game block to a door. The Green Chest is up in this room, where there are [[Silky|Silkies]] on the way there.
| |
| | |
| After collecting the red Skull Ring and the blue one from [[The Pool of Rain]]'s Red Chest, the [[Tower of Revival]] is erected from the ground on the southern side after both rings click together.
| |

| |
| | |
| ====Blue Chest: Red Gem====
| |
| [[File:WL3 S VastPlain7.PNG|thumb|Wario finds the Red Gem]]
| |
| The {{conjectural|Red Gem}} is inside the Blue Chest, which requires both the Red Chemical from [[Beneath the Waves]]' Green Chest and the Blue Chemical from [[The Steep Canyon]]'s Blue Chest to obtain. The chemical reaction after pouring both of them on the ground causes it to soften, sinking the 5-ton block above it to enable access to the area behind it.
| |
| | |
| The 5-ton block is located underground past the first seeing-eye door, which requires the Mad Scienstein to trigger Invisible Wario to not only bypass it, but also another seeing-eye door underground to the right. From the first seeing-eye door, Wario must jump down the third pit, which is past the pipe that would have returned him back to normal. After crossing the second seeing-eye door, Wario must go down the ladder below the Musical Coin and then go right to the area past the block. In the new area, Wario must go past the seeing-eye door and go up the ladder, and then to the right, up, then left past the seeing-eye door while avoiding the [[zombie]]s that would trigger [[Zombie Wario]] even when invisible. If Wario becomes a zombie before crossing the upper seeing-eye door, he must descend to one of the torches below to return to normal, and then catch the Mad Scienstein's potion to become Invisible Wario to go up again. The Blue Key is past the upper seeing-eye door.
| |
| | |
| After acquiring the Blue Key, Wario must go right past the topmost seeing-eye door so that he is above the middle seeing-eye door. After that, he must use a nearby zombie to trigger Zombie Wario, and then jump over the torch below to revert to normal, in order to be able to enter the door nearby. The room has invisible platforms, where Wario must go all the way right, jump on the platforms all the way up, go all the way left to drop down below, and then jump to the right to reach the Blue Chest since there is an invisible gap in between.
| |
| | |
| The Red Gem does not affect the world in any way.

| |
| *There is a graphical glitch in the room where the Green Chest is held. When Wario is on the right edge of the platform the [[Silky|Silkies]] are on, part of Wario's body disappears. This glitch only works when there are two Silkies on the platform.
