Rollanratl
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.
It first attacks Wario by dropping its head to the ground. If Wario doesn't 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 shoulder-charge into it, damaging it. After this occurs twice, 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, then jump-charge at Rollanratl's head once more. After this happens, it drops its head once more, and Wario must attack as previously. After this, Rollanratl will pull out two levers, with two Thwomp-like heads attached. He then drops the sides of his head, which explode. It drops its head, but Wario cannot attack it, because the head is now covered in spikes. The extra heads begin rotating, and Wario must jump on top of one, then Ground Pound the top of Rollanratl's main head. The main head begins dropping out maces, while the small heads shoot out laser beams. The small heads rotate once more, and Wario must Ground Pound Rollanratl again. The robot will crumble and the Rollanratl Emblem will appear.

Trivia
- Rollanratl's name comes from the phrase "shake, rattle, and roll", a pun on the game's name. To make it's name, the two words "Rattle" and "Roll" were switched, and "Shake" has been deleted.
- It's possible that it's renamed after the world where he is fought, Ratl Ruins.
- A boss mission in Rollanratl's boss battle says that the player mustn't get stunned by earthquakes, which is comparatively easy, unless Rollanratl corners him/her on one side of the screen.
