“Cower before Rollanratl! My temple is your tomb!”

—Rollanratl, Wario Land: Shake It!

Rollanratl is the first boss of Wario Land: Shake It! It fights Wario in Rollanratl Battle, the boss level of Ratl Ruins. Rollanratl is a giant living stone statue that holds up the ceiling in its temple. Rollanratl's name comes from the phrase "roll and rattle", a reference to the game's name.

Battle

First phase

Rollanratl first attacks Wario by dropping its head to the ground. If Wario does not jump in time, he is stunned by the earthquake caused by the impact. If Rollanratl's head falls on top of Wario, he will be squished, but not hurt. When Rollanratl's head is lying on the ground, Wario must Dash Attack into the weak spots on the sides of its head to damage it. Rollanratl uses harmless shockwaves to push Wario back after each hit to prevent him from attacking again. Two strikes will end this phase.

Second phase

Rollanratl's eyes change from orange to blue and exhibit a happy expression. During this phase, Rollanratl shakes the ceiling, causing pillars to fall to the ground. Red pillars explode on impact, and blue pillars lodge into the ground for a brief moment. Wario must jump on one of these, then Dash Attack and jump (Jump Attack) into Rollanratl's head again. After this happens, it drops its head once more, and Wario must attack as previously.

Third phase

Rollanratl summons two Pouncer-like heads and sheds the weak points on its head to replace them with spikes, gaining a new weak spot on top of its head instead. Its eyes turn hot pink and become angry. Rollanratl continues to drop its head, but Wario cannot attack it because the head is now covered in spikes and the new weak point too high to reach. The extra heads begin rotating, and Wario must jump on top of one, ride it up to the top of its rotation cycle, and Ground Pound the top of Rollanratl's main head. The main head begins dropping maces, while the small heads fire laser beams to the ground. The small heads rotate once more, and Wario must Ground Pound Rollanratl again. The robot crumbles and the Rollanratl Emblem appears.
