'''''Wario Land 4''''', known in Japan as '''''Wario Land Advance: Yōki no Otakara''''' (ワリオランドアドバンス ヨーキのお宝, meaning '''''Wario Land Advance: The Treasure of the Golden Diva''''')<ref>[http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/wl4 <nowiki>http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/wl4</nowiki>]</ref>, is a platform game released for the [[Game Boy Advance]] in [[2001]]. It was later re-released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] system on December 16, [[2011]] via the Nintendo 3DS Ambassadors program, just after its ten year anniversary. It is the fifth game overall in the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'']] series, which is a spin-off of the [[Super Mario Land (series)|''Super Mario Land'' series]]. In the game, [[Wario]] travels to the [[Golden Pyramid]] after reading a [[:File:WL4-newspaper.PNG|newspaper article]] about a rumor of a [[Legendary Treasure]] hidden inside. His intention is to rob the Pyramid, but he accidentally goes on a quest to save the legendary [[Princess Shokora]] from the money-crazed [[Golden Diva]], evil ruler of the Golden Pyramid. The game features 2-D graphics with linear transformations (similar to ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''). ''Wario Land 4'' has received very positive reviews from websites and game critics alike, enjoying praise for its soundtrack, collectibles throughout the game, and level design. 

==Story==
[[File:WL4-newspaper.PNG|frame|The newspaper article shown in the game's intro, with the [[Black Cat|Black Cat's]] shadow.]]
[[File:WL4-BlackCat2.gif|frame|left|The [[Black Cat]] almost getting run over in the game's intro.]]
The story begins in the ruins of the [[Golden Pyramid]], where [[Princess Shokora]], who once ruled the area, had been put into a cursed sleep by the selfish, money-crazed [[Golden Diva]]. Princess Shokora was transformed into a [[Black Cat]], and banished from the Pyramid. The Black Cat soon came across a city inhabited by modern humans. There she lived on the streets with a group of stray animals. The Pyramid was later discovered by a group of archaeologists. Many undisclosed accidents hindered the findings of any treasure. [[Dr. Arewo Stein]], a robotic engineer, heard the rumors of the Golden Pyramid and set off on his own expedition. However, he is believed to have gone missing.

One morning, [[Wario]] was reading the morning paper, when an article caught his eye. The headline of the article says that a legendary pyramid had been discovered. With his mind on the treasure, he leaves early in the morning in his prized [[Wario Car]] and speeds through the city. The Black Cat is seen crossing a road, but Wario makes no attempt to slow down and he gains speed. Frightened, she covers her eyes with her paws, and the car's wheels narrowly miss her. A newspaper flies into the Cat's face. It reads ''"Pyramid discovered deep in jungle. [[Legendary Treasure]] nearly found, but accidents hindered findings."'' She seems to take an interest in the article.

[[File:PyramidWario.PNG|frame|left|The [[Golden Pyramid]].]]
[[File:WL4-WarioFalling.PNG|frame|[[Wario]] falling down a precipice within the Pyramid.]]
Meanwhile, Wario speeds out of the city and enters the desert. With his mind on the ancient treasure, he speeds full throttle toward the [[Legendary Pyramid|Golden Pyramid]] mentioned in the newspaper article. After some time, Wario's vehicle runs out of gas, and he is forced to push the car to the nearest gas station. He soon comes across a jungle, where he leaves his car. After much trekking through the jungle, he finally reaches the Pyramid. Unable to contain his excitement, he climbs it without hesitation and soon finds an entrance. Inside the pyramid, he descends down a set of stairs and comes across the enigmatic Black Cat, who leads Wario into the next room. Wario and the Black Cat come across a precipice in the ground. The Black Cat jumps in and Wario jumps in after her. 

He lands in a room somewhere near the center of the Pyramid. Here, Wario must clear the Pyramid's five [[#Passages|Passages]]. A [[#Bosses|boss]] challenges Wario to a battle at the end of each Passage. When Wario clears all five Passages, the [[Golden Pyramid|Inner Pyramid]] is revealed. Inside lurks the [[Golden Diva]], the final Boss and the evil ruler of the Pyramid.

[[File:WL4-Shokora Ending.PNG|frame|left|The [[Black Cat]] just transformed into [[Princess Shokora]]. [[Wario]] is very surprised.]]
At the beginning of the battle, the Black Cat attacks the Golden Diva by scratching her face. The Golden Diva appears unscathed, and she swallows the cat. Wario then battles the Golden Diva himself. When defeated, the Black Cat is set free and the [[Legendary Treasure|treasure]] is recovered. Wario flexes his muscles, and after this, the Pyramid begins to shake and crumble. Scared, Wario gathers as much treasure as he can and escapes the Pyramid with the Black Cat leading the way out. Climbing up the ladder on the way out, Dr. Arewo Stein, who is also frantic to escape, pushes past Wario and exits the pyramid, and Wario and the Black Cat follow. 

On the edge of the forest, Wario and the Black Cat watch the Pyramid crumble to the ground. They both laugh. The Golden Diva's Jewelry suddenly flies out of the treasure sack, and the Black Cat takes possession of them. Suddenly, she undergoes a transformation and turns into [[Princess Shokora]], true ruler of the Pyramid. The Princess gives Wario a kiss and says, ''"Thank you, Wario...♥"'' Wario cannot believe his eyes, and he doesn't say a word as she is surrounded by [[:File:WL4-Shokora Angels.PNG|four angels]] and flies up into heaven. Wario sits there for a while trying to making sense of it all. He soon dismisses it, grabs the remaining treasure and gets back into his car. With the treasure in the boot, he drives through the desert back the way he came, while the [[List of Wario Land 4 staff|staff credits]] roll.

''A few days later...'' the ending cut scene shows Wario speeding through the city once again. Like the beginning, Wario narrowly misses another cat, a [[White Cat|white one]] this time. After Wario drives off, a [[:File:WL4-Steaks.PNG|newspaper]] flies into the White Cat's face. It reads; ''"STEAKS! EAT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!!"'' The game ends with gold bars forming the words ''THE END''.

==Gameplay==
{{Golden Pyramid Map}}
[[File:WL4-boss door.PNG|frame|left|Four [[Pyramid Jewel]]s need to be collected in each main [[#Passages|Passage]].]]
Upon creating a new save file, the player can select a [[#Game Mode|game mode]] to play as. There are Normal, Hard and S-Hard. The most difficult mode, S-Hard, is unlocked upon completing Hard mode. Gameplay begins in the [[Entry Passage]] which includes [[Hall of Hieroglyphs|one level]] and a boss, [[Spoiled Rotten]]. On completion, the next four areas of the game are revealed. This consists of four more Passages, each with four levels relating to a different theme with a [[#Bosses|boss]] at the end. The four Passages are the [[Emerald Passage]], [[Ruby Passage]], [[Topaz Passage]] and [[Sapphire Passage]]. These can be completed in any order. Once each boss of the five Passages have been cleared, an inner pyramid, (the [[Golden Pyramid]]) is revealed on the main map. This includes one last level, (the [[Golden Passage]]) and the final boss; the [[Golden Diva]].

Unlike [[Wario Land (series)|previous installments]] in the series, Wario is given a Heart Meter, which contains a total of eight hearts. Wario can collect hearts throughout the stages. Collecting one will replenish one heart to the meter. Wario will lose a heart by touching a threatening part of an [[:Category:Wario Land 4 Enemies|enemy]], spikes, etc. He can also fully replenish his meter by opening a [[Heart Box]]. Below the Heart Meter is the Heart Gauge. Most enemies drop a [[Little Heart]] when defeated. Each Little Heart collected will fill the gauge by an eighth. Filling it will give Wario an extra heart, and the gauge will then be emptied.
                      
Each of the eighteen levels contains four [[Jewel Piece]]s, found within [[Jewel Piece Box|boxes]], that need to be collected. When four Jewel Pieces are joined, they form a [[Pyramid Jewel]]. The color of the Jewels varies on the Passage they are collected in. The player must collect all Jewel Pieces in a Passage to gain access to the boss. A [[Keyzer]] must be collected to unlock the next level. Without the Keyzer, the four Jewel Pieces in that level can still be collected, but the door to the next level will remain locked. 
[[File:WL4-Puzzle Room.PNG|frame|left|A [[Puzzle Room]] in [[Palm Tree Paradise]].]]
[[File:Soundroom.PNG|frame|The completed [[Sound Room]].]]
When Wario enters a level, he enters through a [[Vortex]], which will close behind him. The only way to open it again is to find the [[Frog Switch]] somewhere in the level. This will re-open the Vortex and will allow Wario to return to the map screen. A [[#List of Frog Switch Times|time limit]] is given to return to the Vortex. The player should focus on finding the four Jewel Pieces and the Keyzer before hitting the Frog Switch. However, there are some areas that can only be accessed by hitting the switch. This is achieved through the [[Frog Switch Block]]s. The Frog Switch Blocks can be found either solid or transparent. When the Frog Switch is hit, all transparent blocks will become solid, while all solid blocks will become transparent. This opens up new areas that can only be accessed when the Frog Switch is hit, so there may be some other Jewel Pieces or maybe even the Keyzer to find in that new area. As soon as the Frog Switch is hit, a timer will appear on screen. The amount of time given to reach the Vortex varies on the level and game mode. If the time runs out, the player's score will quickly decrease and the level will become black and white. When the score reaches zero, Wario is sent back to the main map and must start the level again. In some levels like [[Golden Passage]], the Frog Switch is placed at the beginning of the level directly under the Vortex, so Wario lands on it upon entering a level. This can make the level more difficult, as he must recover all four Jewel Pieces and the Keyzer within a time limit.

[[File:WL4-Treasure Restored.PNG|frame|left|[[Legendary Treasure]] and [[Treasure Chest (Wario Land 4)|Treasure Chests]] being restored to the [[Golden Pyramid]].]]
There are two [[Puzzle Room]]s in each level (excluding the [[Entry Passage]] and [[Golden Passage]]). Each one is found in a [[Purple Pipe]], and will contain either a [[Diamond (Wario Land 4)|Diamond]] worth 1000pts., or an amount of [[Coin (Wario Land 4)|coins]] that are worth roughly 1000 points when combined. Wario must solve some sort of puzzle to obtain these points, usually using [[Dr. Arewo Stein]] as an object to throw. Completing these rooms is optional and is not necessary to complete the game, but rather if the player wants to earn a few extra points. Likewise, the player will never see a [[Jewel Piece]] or a [[Keyzer]] is a Puzzle Room, but a [[Heart Box]] can be seen in some rooms.
[[File:WL4-Frog Switch HoH.png|frame|Wario about to exit a level through a [[Vortex]].]]
There is also an additional bonus challenge to complete. In every level except for the [[Entry Passage]] and the [[Golden Pyramid]], there is a hidden [[CD]] that can be collected and played in the [[Sound Room]], each containing a different soundtrack. There is a total of sixteen CDs to collect. A [[Karaoke (Medamayaki)|Karaoke]] can also be unlocked, a full song with Japanese vocals. It can be unlocked by getting 10,000 or more points in each of the eighteen levels.

|The crowns.
|align=left
}}The game records the player's best score (points collected) in each level. The amount of points obtained in a level will affect what icon will appear on the map screen when standing at the entrance of that level, next to the best score. A score of above 10,000 will show a Gold Crown. 8000 to 9990 will show a Silver crown, and a score of 6000 to 7990 will show a Bronze Crown. A score of below 6000 will show no crown.

There are a total of twelve [[Treasure Chest (Wario Land 4)|Treasure Chests]] in ''Wario Land 4''. Three of them found in each of the four main boss rooms, embedded into the wall in the background. They cannot be touched by Wario at this point. During the boss battle when the time starts to run low (usually under a minute), the Treasure Chests in the background will begin to disappear, one by one. Once Wario defeats the boss, the Treasure Chests that are left over are collected and stored in the Golden Pyramid for the final boss against the [[Golden Diva]]. The amount of Treasure Chests collected does not affect the main game, but the ending. The more Treasure Chests Wario has on the game's completion, the more beautiful [[Princess Shokora]] will appear in the game's ending cut-scene.

==Mini-Game Shop==
{{LLQuote|Have some fun, why don’t cha! Play [[Minigame|mini-games]]!|[[Wario]]|[[Wario Land 4]] instruction manual}}

Prior to the boss, there is a [[Mini-Game Shop]] where Wario can play one of three [[Minigame#Wario Land 4|mini-game]]s. If Wario receives a certain amount of points in each of the mini-games, he can earn [[Frog Medal]]s which can be spent at the [[Item Shop (Wario Land 4)|Item Shop]] for items to assist him to defeat the boss of that Passage. The three [[Game Bot]]s run the shop, each hosting a different mini-game. Each mini-game costs 5000 points to play (not including the [[Entry Passage]], which is discounted to 2000.) Points can be earned during normal gameplay.

There are three three mini-games, and they are;
*[[The Wario Hop]]
*[[Wario's Homerun Derby]]
*[[Wario's Roulette]]

There are three different colored Game Bots, each hosting a different mini-game.

{{LLQuote|You thought you could just FIND items? The world doesn't work that way, kid!!|[[Wario]]|[[Wario Land 4]] instruction manual}}

The [[Item Shop (Wario Land 4)|Item Shop]] in ''Wario Land 4'' is a place where Wario can spend his [[Frog Medal]]s in exchange for items. These items assist him in defeating a [[#Bosses|boss]] by dealing pre-damage at the battle's start. The shopkeeper is [[Princess Game & Watch]], a form of the [[Black Cat]]. This character is very similar to the later-occuring [[Mr. Game & Watch]]. However, a major difference between the two characters is Princess Game & Watch has eyes in ''Wario Land 4''. 

A table of the nine items and their descriptions is shown below.

The more effective the item has on damaging a boss, the more Frog Medals it is likely to cost. The price of the items also varies on the [[#Game Modes|game mode]], e.g. an item in [[#Game Modes|hard]] mode would be more expensive than the same item in [[#Game Modes|normal]] mode.

|align="center" |[[So Sleepy]]
|A person is snoring loudly. Doors creak open and shut with a slam, but he sleeps through it. A clock strikes, and he stirs, but quickly drifts off again. Springs bounce, cats meow and frogs croak. A cuckoo clock sings and the clock chimes again, but he does not stir a second time.
|-

|align="center" |[[The Short Futon]]
|Two people are whispering to each other in a long corridor, with many doors on either side. They start opening doors. They peek into the many rooms, finding a rainforest, a snoring man, the female voice from [[Karaoke (Medamayaki)|Karaoke]], a music box and [[Pikachu]]. Eventually, they come to the end of the corridor, where they find a room of royalty.

|Drums begin to play a funky tune, with spoons tapping in an upbeat rhythm. Everything goes silent. An alarm rings, which cues the music back. The tune is very cheerful all the way to the end, where the music fades out.

|align="center" |[[Mr. Fly]]
|A fly is buzzing around a room, stopping to land every few seconds. Someone tries to squash it, but they miss and the fly buzzes away. They keep trying to squash it again and again, but always missing. With all the noise going on, a dog begins to bark. It's victory for Mr. Fly as he survives.

|A clock is ticking, getting louder and louder. Suddenly, many noises come in at once, like doors opening and closing, a cuckoo clock and the sounds of a [[Frog Switch]] being hit. Soon, the only sound left heard is the clock. That soon fades out and a tune similar to the [[Mystic Lake]] theme plays to the end.
|-

|A person is walking, with the noises of a highway is heard in the background. The highway fades, and the sounds of waves are heard crashing and seagulls are cawing. He then comes across a forest. Crickets chirp and birds. He reaches his destination, and he sighs with relief. He goes inside and takes a well deserved nap.

==Game modes==
Upon creating a file, the game will ask which game mode the player prefers to play as. The game modes are as follows:
*[[File:WL4-Normal Mode Sprite.PNG]]
*[[File:WL4-Hard Mode Sprite.PNG]]
*[[File:WL4-S-Hard Mode Sprite.PNG]] <sub><sup><big><big>(unlockable, by completing Hard mode)</big></big></sup></sub>

The game mode affects the location of the [[Jewel Piece]]s, how many [[:Category:Wario Land 4 Enemies|enemies]] are seen in the levels, the health the player begins with upon entering the level and the time given to get back to the [[Vortex]] after the player hits the [[Frog Switch]] (see table in section below). In a few levels on some difficulties, the Frog Switch even changes its location. Purchasing items from the Item Shop will cost more [[Frog Medal]]s. The difficulty of [[Mini-Game Shop|Mini-Games]] are generally unchanged across difficulty levels. However, on S-Hard, the [[Wario's Homerun Derby|baseball mini-game]] has pitches thrown by a cheerleader who throws more hard pitches and has a different style from than normal.

==Wario's transformations==
{{LLQuote|Even the powerful Wario gets into some embarrassing situations in this game! I eat too much and get all chubby, a bee stings my face and makes it swell like a balloon, my body catches fire, and all kinds of other bad things happen to me!!|[[Wario]]|[[Wario Land 4]] instruction manual}}

Wario has a total of ten different transformations in the game, all having a different purpose to assist Wario in progressing through the level. This can include turning into a Bat to reach a high place, or catching fire to break [[Bonfire Block|certain blocks]]. All of the transformations have been re-used from [[Wario Land (series)|previous games]] in the series, but they are put to more use in ''Wario Land 4''. In all forms Wario is invincible. But touching an enemy will not destroy it, it will merely knock it aside.  

The following is a table showing each form and explains its effect in detail.

{|width=100% cellspacing=0 border=1 cellpadding=3 style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|-
!Image 
!Name
!Description
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario1.png]]
|align="center" |[[Wario]]
|Wario in his standard form. In this state, he can perform a [[#Controls|ground-pound]], ram [[:Category:Wario Land 4 Enemies|enemies]] or [[block]]s, crawl to get through tight spaces and throw small objects such as enemies or rocks.
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario2.png]]
|align="center" |[[Puffy Wario]]
|Wario after getting stung by a [[Beezley]], or getting struck by the arrow of a [[Bow Balloon]]. His cheeks puff up in a supposedly allergic reaction, and he is able to float continually upwards. The effect ceases once Wario hits a ceiling.
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario3.png]]
|align="center" |[[Flaming Wario]]
|Wario catches fire from a [[Kaentsubo]]. He will run without stopping while the fire spreads, however, the player can still make Wario jump by pressing {{button|gba|A}}. He will run in the opposite direction when he hits a wall, and any [[Bonfire Block]]s he touches will turn into ash. Falling into water will return Wario to his normal form.
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario4.png]]
|align="center" |[[Flat Wario]]
|When Wario gets crushed by a [[Compressor]], he will transform into Flat Wario. His body will become flat and as light as a feather. If he leaves the ground, he will fall back to Earth slowly, swaying side to side, like a feather. He can get into small spaces. Wario can transform back into normal form by entering a [[Decompressor]].
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario5.png]]
|align="center" |[[Fat Wario]]
|Wario, fatter than usual. It can be achieved by eating the [[Apple]]s that is thrown by a [[Ringosukī]]. Wario is invulnerable to enemy attacks, and just by touching an enemy will defeat it. However, Wario's weight has doubled, so he cannot jump very high and he walks very slowly. The effect will wear off once Wario walks a certain distance. 
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario6.png]]
|align="center" |[[Bubble Wario]]
|When Wario touches a large [[Bubble]] underwater, he will enter that bubble and float upwards until he reaches the surface. This effect is useless unless there is a water current. The bubble is unaffected by these currents, so Wario can access areas that are otherwise inaccessible. 
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario7.png]]
|align="center" |[[Snowman Wario]]
|When a mound of snow falls from the ceiling, Wario will collapse and re-emerge as Snowman Wario. Snow will stick to Wario around his belly area and he will be greatly weighed down. When Wario sets foot on a slope, he will turn into a huge snowball and start rolling, breaking any [[Snowman Block]]s that get in his way. 
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario8.png]]
|align="center" |[[Frozen Wario]] 
|When a [[Yukiotoko]] sneezes, it will exhale a blast of cold air. It's so cold, that it will freeze Wario instantly. He will become immobile and start sliding backwards. The ice will break once Wario hits a wall or object. 
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario9.png]]
|align="center" |[[Bouncy Wario]]
|When a [[Menhammer]] strikes Wario with his hammer, Wario will curl up into a spring and transform into Bouncy Wario. The player is able to make Wario bounce to incredible heights by pressing {{button|gba|A}}. If left alone, the bounce will gain power. After jumping Wario will transform back into his normal form by hitting solid ground.  
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario10.png]]
|align="center" |[[Zombie Wario]]
|When a [[Skeleton Bird]] throws goo at Wario, he will become contaminated and turn into a fearsome Zombie. Zombie Wario is slow moving, and jumping above a thin platform will cause him to fall through the floor, reaching otherwise inaccessible places. Wario can transform back by either touching water, or being exposed to bright light.
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario11.png]]
|align="center" |[[Vampire Wario]]
|Contact with a [[Minicula]] will transform Wario into [[Vampire Wario]]. In this form, Wario takes on the appearance of a Bat, and is able to fly by repeatedly pressing {{button|gba|A}} in order to reach high places. Like Zombie Wario, returning to normal form can be achieved by touching water or being exposed to bright light.

==Wario's moves==
{{LLQuote|How 'bout it? You can even do this stuff!|[[Wario]]|[[Wario Land 4]] instruction manual}}

Wario has several different moves in ''Wario Land 4''. Mastering each one of them is essential for progressing in the game.
{|width=100% cellspacing=0 border=1 cellpadding=3 style="border-collapse:collapse;" 
!Image 
!Name
!Description
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-ram.PNG]]
|align="center" |Ram
|Can also be known as a [[Dash Attack]]. Wario can shift his body weight to ram into objects. He can hit the weak spot of [[:Category:Wario Land 4 Enemies|enemies]] to destroy them, or break blocks to make a path. He also runs a tad faster than normal.
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-S-ram.PNG]]
|align="center" |S-Ram
|Just like a ram, but with more power. Wario must run for a short distance to build up momentum. Once he does, he runs at terrific speed and is able to break stronger, more solid blocks. 
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-GroundPound.PNG]]
|align="center" |Ground Pound 
|The [[Ground Pound|classic move]] that is mainly used in the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario series]]'' can be used in ''Wario Land 4''. Wario can use it to break blocks below, or defeat enemies.
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-S-GroundPound.PNG]]
|align="center" |S-Ground Pound
|Similar to the normal Ground Pound but with more strength. Triggered by continuously ground pounding for a certain amount of time without hitting the ground. Wario can break the more solid blue blocks by performing this move. The move won't cancel until he hits the ground.
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Roll.PNG]]
|align="center" |Roll
|On a 45º degree slope in the floor, Wario can begin to roll. He can jump while moving, destroy blocks and defeat enemies by using this move. He will stop rolling if he either hits something solid or fall into water.
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Swim.PNG]]
|align="center" |Swim
|Wario is able to swim when he is in a body of water. He can move forward, as well as upward and downward. However, he is unable to swim against water currents.
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Crawl.PNG]]
|align="center" |Crawl
|When Wario has a small space to squeeze through, he can crawl to pass through. He can also jump while crawling.
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Throw.PNG]]
|align="center" |Throw
|If Wario picks up an enemy, rock or [[Pinball]], he is able throw it upwards or sidewards. He can also break blocks from a long distance away.
|}

==Passages==
{{LLQuote|My game unfolds inside a [[Golden Pyramid|pyramid]] made up of six passages!|[[Wario]]|[[Wario Land 4]] instruction manual}}
===[[Entry Passage]]===
This passage only has one level; the [[Hall of Hieroglyphs]], which true to its name, uses hieroglyphics on the walls to teach Wario his basic [[#Wario's Moves|moves]]. The boss of this passage is [[Spoiled Rotten]]. 

{|width=100% cellspacing=0 border=1 cellpadding=3 style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|-
!Image 
!Name
!Description
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon01.png]]
|align="center" |[[Hall of Hieroglyphs]] 
|The very first level in the game. It consists of a very simple layout, with hieroglyphs of [[Princess Game & Watch]] on the walls that teach Wario his basic moves. Weak enemies such as [[Marumen]] and [[Spear-Mask]]s appear in this level. In the [[#Game Modes|Normal]] and [[#Game Modes|Hard]] game modes, the [[Frog Switch]] is right at the end of the level (thus making it far easier to reach the [[Vortex]] in time). However, in [[#Game Modes|S-Hard]] mode, the Switch is found near the beginning. 
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon02.png]]
|align="center" |[[Spoiled Rotten]] (boss)
|The boss of the Entry Passage is a purple, eggplant-like creature called Spoiled Rotten. It seems to be quite young, as it carries a blanket and toy doll. Accompanying it are two [[Eggplant Warrior]]s that act as body guards. They behave exactly like [[Totsumen]] and they can be defeated in the same way. Spoiled Rotten is at first defenseless on its own. But after Wario [[#Wario's Moves|ram]]s it a few times, it will reach a point where its health is quite low. Spoiled Rotten will then throw a tantrum, bearing teeth that harm Wario on contact. He will then need to attack from behind. Defeating Spoiled Rotten will grant access to the four main Passages.
|}

===[[Emerald Passage]]===
A nature-themed passage of low difficulty. The boss is a possessed pot-plant called [[Cractus]]. 

{|width=100% cellspacing=0 border=1 cellpadding=3 style="border-collapse:collapse;"
|-

!Name
!Description
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon03.png]]
|align="center" |[[Palm Tree Paradise]] 
|The first level of the Emerald Passage is very straightforward and of extremely low difficulty. It takes place on a tropical setting with lots of palm trees. [[Marumen]] and [[Spear-Mask]]s in low numbers patrol the grounds of this level. The level's path has no alternate routes for the player to take. The [[Frog Switch]] is at the end, and the player must go back the way they came to reach the [[Vortex]]. The level's theme is a shortened version of the [[Karaoke (Medamayaki)|Karaoke]] soundtrack.
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon04.png]]
|align="center" |[[Wildflower Fields]] 
|The level Wildflower Fields takes place in a sunny field blossoming with wild flora. Throughout the stage, there are many [[Money Flower]]s that are pollinated by [[Beezley]]s, which will swell and release [[Coin (Wario Land 4)|coins]]. The Beezleys can also sting Wario and transform him into [[Puffy Wario]], which will enable him to reach greater heights in the level. A lot of the level's structure is made up of giant sunflowers, which are hollow so Wario is able to pass through them.
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon05.png]]
|align="center" |[[Mystic Lake]]
|The Mystic Lake is a location of great beauty, with lush grasses and cool lakes. A large part of the level is underwater, where Wario must [[#Wario's Moves|swim]] most of the way. The waters are abundant in [[Goggley-Blade]]s and [[Utsuboankō]], which are enemies that harm Wario. In the mid-way point of the level, a [[Togenobi]] guards the [[Keyzer]], which is essential for progressing to the next level. After hitting the [[Frog Switch]], the upper part of the level is unlocked, which mainly consists of blocks and falling boulders. 
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon06.png]]
|align="center" |[[Monsoon Jungle]]
|The Monsoon Jungle takes place in a swampy setting with lots of water. The water is vastly infested with [[Tobawani]], which will snap at Wario if he swims nearby. Swinging Platforms are in abundance above the water, which are used to allow Wario to safely cross without harm from the Tobawani. However, the swing is often difficult to time and the player may often find themselves falling in the water. After hitting the [[Frog Switch]], Wario will gain access to the underground area of the level, where he will make his final progress before exiting.
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon07.png]]
|align="center" |[[Cractus]] (boss)
|The boss of the Emerald Passage is Cractus, a possessed venus flytrap with a huge head that can skewer Wario with its claws and drool a poisonous liquid on him, turning Wario into [[Zombie Wario]]. Wario can deal damage by [[#Wario's Moves|ground pounding]] it's head. After taking a certain amount of damage, Cractus will stand upright which will make it harder for Wario to inflict damage on the creature. He will then have to climb a vine above the plant. Defeating Cractus restores the [[Legendary Treasure|Crown]] to the [[Golden Pyramid]].
|}

===[[Ruby Passage]]===
This passage is mechanical-themed. The boss is a giant cuckoo clock called [[Cuckoo Condor]].

|The Curious Factory is a level full of machinery; such as conveyor belts, [[Compressor]]s and [[Decompressor]]s (which will transform Wario into [[Flat Wario]] and back again). Flat Wario can be used to enter tiny places. [[Togerobo]]s make their unique appearance in this level, being a strange creature that has a spiked ball for a head. [[Kaentsubo]]s also make their first appearance here. Hitting the [[Frog Switch]] will open up the underground area of this level, which is much more challenging than the overworld because of the abundance of rotating platforms that Wario will have to cross.

|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon09.png]]
|align="center" |[[The Toxic Landfill]]
|The Toxic Landfill is a filthy, polluted level that is mainly made up of toxic water and garbage that take the shape of [[block]]s, which Wario must [[#Wario's Moves|ram]] to destroy and make a path. [[Bow Balloon]]s and [[Ringosukī]] are the main enemies that appear in this level. The arrows of the Bow Balloon will transform Wario into [[Puffy Wario]], and the [[Apple]]s of the [[Ringosukī]] will transform him into [[Fat Wario]]. Both [[#Wario's Transformations|transformations]] are crucial for progressing in the level. After hitting the [[Frog Switch]], Wario must make his way through the underground part of the level to reach the [[Vortex]].
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon10.png]]
|align="center" |[[40 Below Fridge]]
|The level 40 Below Fridge, as the name suggests, takes place in a very cold fridge. The level is mainly made up of ice. The snow creature [[Yukiotoko]] are in abundance in this level. They have the ability to transform Wario into [[Frozen Wario]] by sneezing on him. Falling Snow from the ceiling transforms him into Snowman Wario if they land on him. In this form, if Wario walks on a 45° platform, he will start rolling into a snowball and he will be able to break [[Snowman Block]]s. 
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon11.png]]
|align="center" |[[Pinball Zone]]
|The Pinball Zone is a funky, colorful and noisy level with many things going on at once. It takes place inside a pinball machine, where the main focus is throwing [[Pinball]]s into slots to break the [[Pinball Block]], which will allow access to the next room. This is the only level to feature the [[Spike Cannon]]s, which is an undefeatable [[:Category:Wario Land 4 Enemies|enemy]] that shoots spikes at Wario. The level's background displays a new theme in every room. The themes vary from forests, robots, dragons, ect.
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon12.png]]
|align="center" |[[Cuckoo Condor]] (boss)
|The boss of the Ruby Passage is Cuckoo Condor, which is what appears to be a giant cuckoo clock. It can grab Wario and shoot gears and electricity at him. After taking a fair amount of damage, the cuckoo clock will fall apart, revealing a giant bird (presumably a condor) within. In this form, Cuckoo Condor can lay eggs that hatch into [[Black Duck|self-destructing chicks]] to damage Wario. Wario can counter this attack by catching and [[#Wario's Moves|throwing]] the eggs at the Condor's head. Defeating Cuckoo Condor restores the [[Legendary Treasure|Earrings]] to the [[Golden Pyramid]].

|align="center" |[[Toy Block Tower]]
|The first level of the Topaz Passage takes place in a toy castle, with lots of toy blocks found throughout the level. Several unique items appear in this level. There is the [[Triangle Toy Block]] (which Wario must [[#Wario's Moves|throw]] into the slot on a [[Toy Block Door]] to open the door), and the [[Rolling Toy Block]]; which Wario can [[#Wario's Moves|ram]] to move along the ground and use as an object to stand on. The [[Pig Head Statue]] is also unique to this level. It is a pig head that is fixed to a wall in the background. It spits out fire which flares up on the ground below, transforming Wario into [[Flaming Wario]] if he come into contact with it. 
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon14.png]]
|align="center" |[[The Big Board]]
|The Big Board is the only level to feature the [[Event Block (Wario Land 4)|Event Block]], which is an object with a rotating number counter that Wario can stop by hitting the blue button below the block. When it stops on a certain number, it will have numerous effects such as producing [[Giant Diamond]]s, [[Dice Men]] and transforming Wario into many of his [[#Wario's Transformations|transformations]]. The very last Event Block is blue instead of green. It will not disappear after the first hit, but will allow Wario to keep hitting it. This will eventually release the [[Keyzer]]. The level has a general relaxed feel to it. It contains many [[Toy Car]]s, being the main [[:Category:Wario Land 4 Enemies|enemy]] found here. 
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon15.png]]
|align="center" |[[Doodle Woods]]
|The Doodle Woods is a level with a very up-beat feel to it. It is the only level to feature [[Hoggus]], an untouchable [[:Category:Wario Land 4 Enemies|enemy]] that loves to draw. It has a sketchbook, where it will produce drawings of [[Butatabi]]s and [[Denden]]s which come to life and try to harm Wario. There are also many prominent features of the level related to drawing such as pencils and erasers that act as platforms. Later in the level after the Frog Switch has been hit, Wario will come across an area that he must keep climbing upwards. There are several pictures of [[Deburina]]s on the walls that may have been drawn by Hoggus. The pictures will come to life once Wario comes near them.
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon16.png]]
|align="center" |[[Domino Row]]
|Domino Row is the only level in the game to feature the use of Dominoes, which are found in increasingly long rows throughout the level. If Wario is to brush past a beginning of a row, they will begin to fall, bringing the ones in front down with it. At the end of the row is a switch. If the dominoes are to reach the switch first, a blue flag with a ''D'' will be raised. However, if Wario is to beat the dominoes to the switch and he hits it first, then a yellow and purple flag will be raised with a ''W'' on it. In result, this will open up a path that would be more convenient for Wario to take, such as shortcuts or paths with more [[Coin (Wario Land 4)|coins]].
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon17.png]]
|align="center" |[[Aerodent]] (boss)
|The boss of the Topaz Passage is Aerodent, a rat that hides in a giant inflatable teddy bear. It throws down [[Tack Soldiers]], which Wario can [[#Wario's Moves|throw]] to deflate the teddy bear. This will cause it to flip upside down and expose the rodent, its weak spot. Wario can then [[#Wario's Moves|ram]] the rodent to inflict damage. When Aerodent has taken a considerable amount of damage, the Teddy will drop flames which do not harm Wario, but instead transforms him into [[Flaming Wario]]. He will catch fire and run around the screen for a while, wasting valuable time. Defeating Aerodent restores the [[Legendary Treasure|Necklace]] to the [[Golden Pyramid]].
|}

===[[Sapphire Passage]]=== 
This passage is horror-themed, with many ghosts and zombies appearing in the levels. The boss is [[Catbat]], a giant Cat with a [[Bat]] as an alliance.

|Crescent Moon Village takes place in a haunted, moonlit village. The first level of the Sapphire Passage introduces the many ghostly enemies that are native to the horror-themed levels, such as the [[Skeleton Bird]] and [[Men'ono]]. Most of the level takes a straight path, with many blocks and posts as obstacles. A notable enemy appearance in such areas is [[Yūrei]], who, similar to [[Hoggus]], appears in the level's background and cannot be touched. Unlike Hoggus, Yūrei does not harm Wario. Instead, he watches from afar as Wario makes his progress. Whenever Wario defeats an [[:Category:Wario Land 4 Enemies|enemy]] or breaks a block, [[Coin (Wario Land 4)|coins]] will be produced, which will scatter across the ground. Yūrei's obsession is money, and he will dive and gather up as much money as he can if they are left unattended. Also, once Wario obtains the Keyzer, Yūrei will try and steal it. If he succeeds, Wario will have to chase him to retrieve it, thus wasting valuable time. 
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon19.png]]
|align="center" |[[Arabian Night]]
|The Arabian Night is set in an abandoned Arabian village, with Indian-style buildings and unique [[Magic Carpet]]s. Most of the level requires Wario to ride one of these Magic Carpets by jumping, causing the carpet to rise below his feet. [[Mayu Bird]]s are in abundance in the sky's, where they will harm Wario if he is to make contact with their fangs. The level consists of two parts, the indoor and outdoor areas which link to each other via building entrances. While the inside areas are situated in the buildings that Wario can enter, the outside is quite literally everywhere else. Wario can also turn into his [[Vampire Wario|bat form]] in this level.
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon20.png]]
|align="center" |[[Fiery Cavern]]
|The Fiery Cavern takes place is an underground cavern with many pools of lava. Wario is able to swim in this lava in the same way as he swims in water, but he will take a great deal of damage. An [[:Category:Wario Land 4 Enemies|enemy]] that is unique to this level is [[Iwao]], a primate that hurls giant boulders that damage Wario if he happens to be in it's path. Wario can only defeat these creature by performing a [[#Wario's Moves|ground pound]] to the head. Wario will come across these creatures in great numbers throughout the first half of the level. In the second half when Wario hits the unavoidable Frog Switch, everything in the level will freeze over, including the lava and even the Iwao. In result, Wario is now able to safely travel over the cooled lava (which is now solid ice). The Iwao, when frozen over, quickly thaws and evolves into [[Yukiotoko]]. These creatures have a white coat and always appear to be sneezing, casting icicles that will transform Wario into [[Frozen Wario]].
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon21.png]]
|align="center" |[[Hotel Horror]]
|This level takes place in an old, run down hotel that has multiple floors and many rooms (some are initially locked). Wario enters the level on the first floor, at room 101. Every room in the hotel is accessible, but not always straight through the front door. All rooms link to each other some way or other. Most rooms consists of two floors, so there are two entrances. To the far left of the hotel is a giant bird cage, where a [[Skeleton Bird]] hangs around the area. Wario can access each floor's left side by climbing the steps in the bird cage, but the Skeleton Bird should generally be avoided as it releases a green goo that transforms Wario into [[Zombie Wario]], sending him falling through the floor. Enemies that populate the level's corridors are ghostly creatures such as [[Men'ono]] and [[Minicula]]. When the Frog Switch is hit, all doors with a [[Frog Switch Block|frog sign]] on the front will be unlocked.  
|-
|align="center" |[[File:WL4-Icon22.png]]
|align="center" |[[Catbat]] (boss)
|The boss of the Sapphire Passage is Catbat. It is essentially a large, ghostly-like cat with a statue of a bat on his head, which is his weak spot. Catbat has ears that act as bat wings, and likewise it is able to fly during the battle. There is a pool of water below the unstable flooring where a [[Mechanical Fish]] patrols by swimming back and forth. The drill on the creature's head will harm Wario if he is to make contact. Catbat creates waves which must be jumped over. Wario can also balance on top of these moving waves to jump and [[#Wario's Moves|ram]] the bat's weak spot. Once he does so, Catbat will take damage. In retaliation, it will spit out orange and purple spikes, which either damage Wario or turn him into [[Puffy Wario]], respectively. The latter's purpose is to waste time. Defeating Catbat restores the [[Legendary Treasure|Bracelets]] to the [[Golden Pyramid]].

===[[Golden Pyramid]]===

|align="center" |[[Golden Passage]]
|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, 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" |[[File:WL4-Icon24.png]]
|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. The Golden Diva swallows the feline whole and Wario is left to battle by himsellf. The Golden Diva has several different attacks, much more than previous bosses. She begins by hiding her face behind her fan. Wario will have to throw ghostly heads at her. Then she will cast several different enemies, one at a time, in an attempt to harm Wario. They are the [[Green Enemy]] (which Wario can [[#Wario's Moves|throw]]), the [[Big Ball]] (he must [[#Wario's Moves|ram]]), the [[Black Duck]] (also throw), and the [[Tonkachi‎]], 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 bring her to the last few points of HP. On the very last point, simply none but her [[Diva's Lips|Lips]] will remain. A simple attack to these Lips will free the swallowed Black Cat. The ending cut-scene follows.

==Allies==
Within the [[Golden Pyramid]], there are a few characters who are willing to help Wario. They all have different purposes and their personalities and traits may differ, but they all have the same goal; to rid the Pyramid of the money crazed [[Golden Diva]] and to restore it to it's former glory.

==Bosses==
Each of the six bosses guards a different Passage in the Pyramid. [[Item Shop (Wario Land 4)|Items]] can be purchased with [[Frog Medal]]s to weaken bosses at the battle's beginning.

Spoiled Rotten is, at first, defenseless on its own. But after Wario damages it a few times, it will reach a point where its health is quite low. Spoiled Rotten will then throw a temper-tantrum, bearing teeth that harm Wario on contact. He will then need to attack its behind.

==Reception==
The game received generally positive reviews. The <i>"portable masterpiece"</i> received praise and excellent review scores on it's [[List of media from Wario Land 4|soundtrack]], collectibles throughout the game and its general thrill of satisfaction. One gaming website commented about even on it's ten year anniversary, it <i>"still remains the best portable ''Mario'' game to date"</i>.<ref>[http://www.1up.com/features/wario-land-4-remains-best-portable-mario Why Wario Land 4 remains the best portable Mario game]</ref> [[Wikipedia:IGN|IGN]] gave ''Wario Land 4'' a nine out of ten, or "Outstanding", citing its well thought out level design and replayability, and how the game <i>"puts a lot more emphasis on action"</i> compared to it's [[Wario Land (series)|predecessors]].<ref>[http://au.gameboy.ign.com/articles/165/165422p1.html IGN Wario Land 4 review]</ref> Praise was also given to how much attention the developers paid to the sounds and music. It was not given a full ten because the game does not necessarily push the performance power of the Game Boy Advance in regards to animation design. The website quoted that <i>"it's a little disappointing to see that Wario isn't much of a step beyond his [[Game Boy Color|GBC]] adventure in terms of art and animation...other than the sprite effects, it could have been done on the 8-bit handheld"</i>. Global sales exceeded two million copies.<ref>[http://www.vgchartz.com/game/6522/wario-land-4/ VGchartz - Wario Land 4 global sales]</ref>

*Wario makes a cameo appearance in ''[[starfywiki:Densetsu no Starfy 3|Densetsu no Stafy 3]]'', where Wario helps [[starfywiki:Stafy|Starfy]] throughout the [[starfywiki:Undersea Ruins|Undersea Ruins]] by using some of his transformations from ''Wario Land 4''. Wario and Starfy arrive at a [[Vortex]], where they must enter to locate the [[Frog Switch]] and four [[Jewel Piece]]s in order to unlock the [[:File:WL4-boss door.PNG|boss door]]. Wario can transform into [[Bubble Wario]], [[Flaming Wario]] and [[Puffy Wario]] respectively.
*The theme of [[Princess Game & Watch]]'s [[Item Shop (Wario Land 4)|Item Shop]] is used as [[Mona]]'s theme melody in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]''. The music can also be heard in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' in a less modified form when the [[Gelateria]] is seen from the inside during Mona's story. A slightly sped up version of [[Palm Tree Paradise]]'s theme can also be heard in the microgame [[Balancing Act (WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!)|Balancing Act]]. Additionally, part of [[Crescent Moon Village]]'s theme can be heard during the epilogue of Wario's second set of microgames in ''Mega Microgame$!''. 
*The Golden Diva has almost the same laugh as [[Princess Lipid]], and she covers her real, grotesque face with magic masks, just like [[Tiaramisu]] from ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'' does. Both are also the final bosses of their respective games.

''Wario Land 4'' was first announced at [[Wikipedia:Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3]] 2001. The first released screenshots were very different from the final game. Wario had a darker, more orange skin tone. A lot of the enemies were also shown to have a different color scheme. A notable difference from the final game is how Wario originally had a [[Garlic]] meter, which would have replaced the heart gauge below the heart meter. The [[Mini-Game Shop]] was going to be called the Game Corner, and Wario originally needed a [[Key]] to unlock a [[Jewel Piece Box]].

*''"Haven’t you kids ever done something that made you look stupid? Oh, is that right? Well, FINE then! But even the powerful Wario gets into some embarrassing situations in this game!

But I’m a tough guy, so I keep coming back for more! You wimps could learn something from me!"'' &ndash; Wario gives examples of his tough times.
