'''''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 as well as the downloadable Virtual Console game for the [[Wii U]] on May 8, 2014. 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]]. It is also the final ''Wario Land'' game to be released on a handheld system and the last ''Wario Land'' game for seven years until ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]''. 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]]'' and ''[[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. | |||

</blockquote> | </blockquote> | ||
[[ | 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. [[Arewo Shitain-hakase]], 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]], and [[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, Arewo Shitain-hakase, 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''. | |||

{{WL4 Golden Pyramid Map}} | |||
[[File:WL4 | [[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 modes|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 [[#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. | |||
The | 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 [[Switch (Wario Land 4)|switch]] somewhere in the level. This will re-open the vortex and will allow Wario to return to the map screen. A [[#List of Time Limits|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 switch. However, there are some areas that can only be accessed by hitting the switch. This is achieved through the [[Frog Block]]s. The Frog Blocks can be found either solid or transparent. When the 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 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 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 the [[Golden Passage]] (the last level of the game), the switch is placed at the beginning directly under the vortex, so Wario lands on it upon entering the last level. This can make the last 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 [[Arewo Shitain-hakase]] 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 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. | |||

[[ | Prior to the boss room of each passage, 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. | |||

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 [[Item Shopkeeper|shopkeeper]] is a form of the [[Black Cat]]. This character is very similar to the later-occurring [[Mr. Game & Watch]]. However, a major difference between the two characters is the Item Shopkeeper has eyes in ''Wario Land 4''. | |||

The [[Sound Room]] is a place found on the main map of the Golden Pyramid, where the player can listen to any [[CD]] that they have collected within the sixteen main passage levels. Each of the sixteen CDs have a unique track recorded on it. A bonus [[Karaoke (Medamayaki)|Karaoke]] can be unlocked by getting 10,000 or more points (a gold crown) in all eighteen levels. The Karaoke may also be temporarily unlocked by pressing Start, Select, Up, L and R together at the same time, while in the Sound Room. | |||
Many of the CDs features remixed audio which was originally elsewhere in the game, such as the [[Switch (Wario Land 4)|Switch]] sound effects in the [[So Sleepy]] CD. | |||

==Game modes== | |||
[[File:WL4 Screenshot - Game Mode Selection.png|frame|Selecting "Hard" mode upon a new save file. Note that "S-Hard" mode is not yet present as an option.]] | |||
Upon creating a file, the player will be asked which game mode they prefer to play. The available game modes are as follows: | |||
*[[File:WL4-Normal Mode Sprite.PNG]] | |||
*[[File:WL4-Hard Mode Sprite.PNG]] | |||
*[[File:WL4-S-Hard Mode Sprite.PNG]] (unlockable, by completing Hard mode) | |||
The chosen game mode affects the location of the [[Jewel Piece]]s, how many [[#Enemies|enemies]] are seen in the levels, and the health the player begins with upon entering the level. For example, on S-Hard mode Wario enters the level with only one health point. The game mode also affects the time given to get back to the [[vortex]] after the player hits the [[switch]] (refer to table in the section below). In a few levels on some difficulties, the switch even changes its location. Purchasing items from the Item Shop will cost more [[Frog Medal]]s on more difficult modes. The difficulty of [[Mini-Game Shop|Mini-Games]] are generally unchanged across difficulty levels. However, on S-Hard mode, the [[Wario's Homerun Derby|baseball mini-game]] uses a cheerleader who throws very difficult pitches, compared to the lower level modes. | |||

== | ==Wario's Reactions== | ||
{{ | {{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 reactions 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 reactions have been based on [[Wario Land (series)|previous games]] in the series, but they are put to more use in ''Wario Land 4''. Wario is invincible in all forms, but touching an enemy will merely knock it aside and not destroy it. | ||
! | |||
! | Below is a table describing all of the reactions (exception: normal Wario). | ||

!Description | !Description | ||
|- | |- | ||
|align="center | |align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario1.png]] | ||
|align="center | |align="center" |[[Wario]] | ||
| | |Wario in his standard form. He can perform a [[#Controls|ground-pound]], ram [[#Enemies|enemies]] or [[block]]s, crawl to get through thin spaces and throw small objects like enemies or rocks. | ||
|- | |- | ||
|align="center | |align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario2.png]] | ||
|align="center | |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 supposed allergic reaction, and he is able to float continually upwards, until Wario hits a ceiling, at then Wario will turn back into his normal form. | ||
|- | |- | ||
|align="center | |align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario3.png]] | ||
| | |align="center" |[[Flaming Wario]] | ||
|Wario after catching fire from a [[Kaentsubo]]. He will run without stopping while the fire spreads but 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 touched will turn into ash. Falling into water will return Wario to his normal form. | |||
|- | |- | ||
|align="center | |align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario4.png]] | ||
| | |align="center" |[[Flat Wario]] | ||
|Wario after being crushed by a [[Compressor]]. His body will become flat light. If he leaves the ground or jumps, he will fall back slowly, swaying side to side, just like a feather. He can get into small spaces. Wario can turn back into his normal form by entering a [[Decompressor]]. | |||
|- | |- | ||
|align="center | |align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario5.png]] | ||
| | |align="center" |[[Fat Wario]] | ||
|Wario, only fatter. He can turn into this form by eating [[Apple]]s thrown by a [[Ringosukī]]. Wario is invulnerable to enemy attacks, enemies will be killed by only touching them. Due to Wario's increased weight he cannot jump high and he walks slow until Wario walks a certain distance. | |||
|- | |- | ||
|align="center | |align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario6.png]] | ||
|align="center | |align="center" |[[Bubble Wario]] | ||
| | |Wario after touching an underwater [[bubble]]. He can float upwards until he reaches the surface. This effect is useless unless there is a water current. Wario can access areas that are otherwise inaccessible because the bubble is unaffected by these currents. | ||
|- | |- | ||
|align="center | |align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario7.png]] | ||
| | |align="center" |[[Snowman Wario]] | ||
|Wario after a mound of snow falls on him from a ceiling. Snow will stick to Wario around his belly area and he will be greatly weighed down. Wario will turn into a huge snowball and start rolling, breaking any [[Snowman Block]]s that get in his way if he starts walking from a slope. | |||
|- | |- | ||
|align="center | |align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario8.png]] | ||
| | |align="center" |[[Frozen Wario]] | ||
|Wario after getting hit by a [[Yeti]]'s sneeze. He will become immobile and start sliding backwards. The ice will break once Wario hits a wall or object. | |||
|- | |- | ||
|align="center | |align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario9.png]] | ||
| | |align="center" |[[Bouncy Wario]] | ||
|Wario when a [[Menhanmā]] strikes him with his hammer. He 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 | |align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario10.png]] | ||
|align="center | |align="center" |[[Zombie Wario]] | ||
[[ | |Wario when a [[Skeleton Bird]] throws him goo. He moves slow, and jumping above a thin platform will cause him to fall through the floor by pressing {{button|gba|A}}, reaching otherwise inaccessible places. Like ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', he is still able to jump, but he cannot jump higher. Wario can transform back by either touching water, or being exposed to bright light. | ||
| | |||
|- | |- | ||
|align="center | |align="center" |[[File:WL4 Wario11.png]] | ||
| | |align="center" |[[Vampire Bat Wario]] | ||
|Wario after being hit by a [[Minicula]]. 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. Unlike ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', he cannot transform into an actual vampire. Returning to normal form can be achieved by touching water or being exposed to bright light, like with Zombie Wario. | |||

==Reception== | ==Reception== | ||
The game received generally positive reviews. The "portable masterpiece" received praise and excellent review scores on [[List of Wario Land 4 | The game received generally positive reviews. The <i>"portable masterpiece"</i> received praise and excellent review scores on its [[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 its 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 its [[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>. | ||

''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]]. | |||
