Cuckoo Condor is the third boss in the Game Boy Advance game Wario Land 4. It guards the Ruby Passage.
Cuckoo Condor lives up to both parts of its name. At first, the boss is concealed within a large weaponised cuckoo clock. The pendulum of the clock features a large claw that it uses to pick Wario up and bring him to the large saw blades bordering the arena to inflict damage. It is difficult to escape this grasp, and impossible unless Wario is seized near the centre of the screen. Cuckoo Condor can also drop saw blades and electrical shock pulses from its two mechanical arms. Wario must ram the large claw that it uses to attack, causing it to swing up and damage the boss.
After taking enough damage, the clock is destroyed, revealing the buzzard-like creature underneath (which doesn't particularly resemble real life condors). The small spinning bird on top of the clock remains as a headpiece for the exposed Condor. In this state, Cuckoo Condor will lay eggs, which break upon contact with the ground. Hiyokos will hatch immediately from these eggs, and attempt to run into into Wario, self-destructing on contact. Wario must catch the eggs as they fall, and then throw them at the small condor on Cuckoo Condor's head to continue to inflict damage. Hiyoko are very similar to the Black Ducks seen in the battle against the Golden Diva. After enough hits, Cuckoo Condor is defeated and Wario is rewarded with the creature's Earrings.
