The Pool of Rain is the third level on the west side of the music box world in Wario Land 3. Wario unlocks both this level and A Town in Chaos after finding the Jar in Out of the Woods, which causes a rain cloud to pop out and fill the empty pool.
Treasures
Gray Chest: First Gear for Machine
The First Gear for Machine[1] can be found in the Gray Chest among several posts over the pool. Smash Attacking one post will make it sink and cause another one to rise, and the player must navigate these posts to progress to the right. The Gray Key is above the second set of posts, while the Gray Chest is in the room down the ladder after reaching the cliff past the third set of posts.
The Gray Chest contains the First Gear. If the Second Gear found in A Town in Chaos is also collected, the elevator machine in the east side becomes operational, opening the path to The Grasslands.
Red Chest: Skull Ring (blue)
The Skull Ring[2] in the Red Chest requires the Magic Seeds from The Big Bridge, which causes a vine to grow in The Pool of Rain; this allows Wario to access a new area where the Red Key is found. A door near the entrance to the level contains the Red Chest, and unlocking it reveals the blue Skull Ring. When paired with the red one found in The Vast Plain, the Tower of Revival will emerge from the ground in the south side.
Green Chest: Ornamental Fan
The Ornamental Fan[3] in the Green Chest requires the Swimming Flippers from the Tower of Revival to swim through a watery area containing a Haridama surrounded by spikes. Beyond the area, a door leads into a large room with several aquatic currents that will push Wario in various directions; Wario must navigate them to reach the Green Key and the level's boss, Wolfenboss.
Wolfenboss attacks by shooting energy balls at Wario, which he must dodge until Wolfenboss throws a spiked ball at him; the ball will open and produce a Kuri if Wario avoids it successfully. Wario must attack the Kuri at the right angle to bounce it off the wall behind Wolfenboss and hit him. Three hits will defeat Wolfenboss and open the path to the Green Chest, which contains the Ornamental Fan. The fan is needed to open the path to The Stagnant Swamp by blowing away a cloud of mist in the south.
Blue Chest: Crayon (yellow)
The Crayon[4] in the Blue Chest requires the Air-Pump from The Colossal Hole, which affects the room to the right of the spike area, allowing him to reach the door underwater. The door leads to a cave full of Pneumos, with the Blue Key to the right of the cave. The Blue Chest is on the left side of the cave in an area that Wario can only reach by using a Pneumo to turn into Puffy Wario, and opening it rewards Wario with the crayon.
Once collected, the crayon flies to a hill on the north side of the world, where a tower with a sign reading "GAME" resigns; the yellow crayon colors in the sign. Once Wario finds all seven crayons hidden throughout the game and gains access the tower, the player can then play the golf mini-game at any time.
Musical Coins
| Location | Description |
|---|---|
|
Across the vine to the left, there is a Musical Coin. |
|
In the area after climbing up the vine to the left, there are numerous clumps of leaves on the way to the Red Key. The Musical Coin is hidden among one of the leaf bunches above a platform in between two other platforms. |
|
In the room underwater below the Spikes, there is a room with multiple currents. This Musical Coin is surrounded by the first current, and the rocks that can be broken are the sixth and seventh rocks beneath the closed area. |
|
In the same room as above, the Musical Coin is directly below the entrance. To reach this Musical Coin, the rocks beneath the coin must be broken from below. |
|
In the same room as above, the Musical Coin is towards the top-left, above the first loop of currents. |
|
In the water at the beginning of the starting area, the Musical Coin is underwater below the second set of posts. He has to swim around the Spikes to reach it. |
|
In the water at the beginning of the starting area, the Musical Coin is at the bottom-right, where a current is moving against it. It requires the use of Prince Frog's Glove to reach it. |
|
In the room underneath the glass that originally sealed the door, Wario has to trigger the Puffy Wario reaction from the third Pneumo to the right, which is around where the Musical Coin is. |
