The Keyzer unlocking the door to the next stage
A Keyzer,[1] sometimes referred to as a Ghost Key,[2] is a small levitating creature in Wario Land 4. It bears some resemblance to a Boo, although with a key for a nose. A Keyzer must be located by Wario in each of the 18 stages. A Keyzer is always found sleeping. Once found, it wakes up and follows Wario until he either loses all his health or exits the level via the vortex. The Keyzer then unlocks the sealed door that leads to the next stage, and the Keyzer disappears once it does so. Once the door is unlocked, the Keyzer cannot be found in that same stage a second time.
If Wario exits a stage without finding the Keyzer, his points and any jewel pieces collected will still be counted, but he will not be able to progress to the next stage. Wario is able to reenter any stage where the Keyzer has not been found.
