Wario Land 4/Walkthrough

''One day, Wario was sitting at home, just being lazy. But suddenly, he learns that there is a Giant Golden Pyramid hidden somewhere in the jungle which had millions of priceless golden objects. With this get-rich-quick scheme in mind, Wario set off to the jungle. When Wario finally finds it, he scales the pyramid to find an entrance. When he managed to get inside, he found out that he was trapped with no escape. This begins Wario's quest in the Golden Pyramid.''

Objective (Stages)

 * Your target is to collect the key for unlocking the next stage, and four stone pieces for unlocking the boss stage.
 * You will start the stage at the warphole. The warphole is also the exit of stage, but you must find the frog switch located somewhere in the stage, and step on it to activate the warphole.
 * Before activating the frog switch, there is no time limit and you can roam freely in the stage. If you activate the switch however, a timer will start to countdown and you must return to the warphole before time runs out.
 * If you run out of life points during a stage, or choose to give up during a pause, you will leave the stage with all spoils lost.
 * If you fail to reach the warphole on time, you will start losing the collected money, and if the money is all lost, you are knocked out of the stage and will lose all spoils.

Objective (Bosses)

 * You must first collect all stone pieces in the stages of same passage in order to unlock the gate to the boss stage.
 * Before fighting the boss, there is a shop selling special weapons against the boss. In order to buy the weapons, you must enter the mini-game shop to earn frog medals. Read the corresponding pages for more information.
 * Each boss fight has a timer, and you must beat the boss before time runs out. Except the Spoiled Rotten, each boss will be guarding some treasure chests in the background. When the timer falls below one minute (two minutes in the final boss fight), the treasure chests will start to pop out and disappear one by one. The amount of treasure chests collected will affect the game ending.

Entry Passage
Entry Passage is the first of the six passages in the game. It is very easy, and it is mainly used just to get a feel for how to play the game. The only level in the passage, called Hall of Hieroglyphs, has in-game instructions on how to play. Just read the walls behind Wario.

Emerald Passage
Emerald Passage is the easiest level area among the four main passages. The theme of the area is Plant. This Passage is a good place to start for beginners.

Topaz Passage
Topaz Passage is the second easiest Passage among the four main passages. This area is a pretty fun one to play.

Sapphire Passage
Sapphire Passage is one of the harder passages in the game. It's not quite the hardest, but yet it's not the easiest. It's best to say that it resides in the middle of the six passages.

Ruby Passage
Ruby Passage is considered the hardest passage to beat before entering the Golden Pyramid. The entire passage is factory themed.

Golden Pyramid
This will be unlocked after beating the four bosses in other four passages. It is a final test of your gameplay experience and skills.
