Wario Land 4Wario Land 4 is a video game made for Game Boy Advance in 2001. In this game Wario has to gather four treasures to unlock a pyramid and save Princess Shokora from The Golden Diva.StoryWario is drawn to a pyramid in the desert. When he arrives he sees a small black cat that lures him deeper into the pyramid. Then he begins his adventure. He fights 5 bosses and receives their treasures. Then he fights the Golden Diva who stole the treasures you recovered. After the Golden Diva is beaten then pyramid begins to shake and slowly falls. You quickly run out of the pyramid with the black cat and a bag full of treasure. After the pyramid has totally collapsed the treasures the Golden Diva had stolen return. Except they go to the black cat who forms the shape of a princess (Princess Shokora to be certain). Then she kisses Wario and says Thank You. Finally a few angles fly from the sky and take the princess. Another happy ending. Gameplay ElementsThe gameplay of Wario Land 4 allows for some open-endedness as well as some order of difficulty. There are 4 main passages (in addition to the Entry Passage and "Final" Golden Pyramid). The 4 main passages are the Emerald, Ruby, Topaz, and Sapphire Passage, in order of difficulty. The Emerald Passage is themed around nature. The Ruby Passage is themed around mechanics and technology. The Topaz Passage is themed around toys, games, and other "playtime" ideas. The Sapphire Passage is themed around horror and danger, prominately involving ghosts and the like. There are four levels in a passage. To progress to the next level in a passage, a player has to find the Keyzer in the previous level (A Keyzer is a floating, key-nosed creature that promptly dissapears after you use it). After the four levels comes a Mini-game Shop and the Boss Room. To enter the Boss Room, the player must find the four pieces of the passage's namesake gem in each level (a total of four gems and 16 pieces). Also, a player can find a CD in each level, which unlocks a song in the CD Room. Upon entering a level, one has all the time in the world they want to find treasure, beat up enemies, and such. Enemies, when defeated, give coins and health orbs. After collecting a full bar of health orbs, the player recieves one extra heart (out of 8). However, the player can't return to the pyramid (and thus have all of their treasure saved) until they open the portal again via a Frog Switch. Upon hitting the switch, a time limit (which varies depending on the game's difficulty setting and level itself) is placed, and many blocks in the level appear or disappear. For some levels, this results in a rush back to the portal the same way the player came. In others, totally new areas are exposed. If a player fails to reach the portal within the time limit, he begins to lose coins. Once all of his coins are gone, he is kicked out of the level (as if he had lost all of his health) and is left with no treasure. Level and Boss ListEntry PassageBoss: Spoiled Rotten Emerald Passage Boss: Cractus Ruby Passage Boss: Cuckoo Condor Topaz Passage Boss: Aerodent Sapphire Passage Boss: Catbat Golden Pyramid Boss: Golden Diva Boss RoomsAt the end of each passage, Wario encounters a boss room. He must destroy a boss within a set time limit to win the treasure within the boss rooms (if Wario takes too long but manages to win before the limit is up, some treasure may be witheld). The bosses can be made easier by the purchase of items from a shop near the boss's door. The shop does not accept normal cash from levels. Instead, one must play games in the Mini-game Shop to win medals to use. Each of the items on the bottom row of the shop's listing are "super effective" against a certain boss. For instance, the Black Dragon's flames will burn Cractus better than any other attack. Difficulty LevelsThere are three difficulty levels.
