Gurgle Gulch is a secret level in Ratl Ruins in Wario Land: Shake It! It can be unlocked by finding a Secret Map in Foulwater Falls.

Layout

Gurgle Gulch is filled with many fossils and rock formations. Spikes are very common obstacles here. The background of this level is either purple rock formations or waterfalls and a purple sky. Crackpots and Bandineros are very common here along with ropes. Many Scarracudas also inhabit the waters here. First Wario will have to use the Certainy Switch to drain the water and proceed. Like Foulwater Falls, Wario need to swing on ropes to reach higher places. Inside the gulch, lengthened ropes make their first appearance, allowing Wario to swing farther and collect coins. When he exits, he will have to drain the water to use the Max Fastosity Dasherator underneath and rush to the platform above. The 'Golden Enemy' here is a golden Bumbleprod. Once Wario discovers the caged Merfle, he will have to drain the water again, avoid spikes and bombs, and rush back to the start before time flies.
