Wario Land 4/Hall of Hieroglyphs


 * Stage: Hall of Hieroglyphs
 * Location: Entry Passage
 * Time: (Normal/Hard/Super Hard) 1:00/0:15/??

Hall of Hieroglyphs is the only level in Entry Passage and serves as an in-game tutorial with instructions on how to play written on the walls.

Normal Version

 * Room 1: When you start the level, you will see the Frog Switch behind a wall. Don't worry about it now, you'll get to that later.  Just jump up the platforms on the right wall to advance to the next room.
 * Room 2: This room has two pipes. Follow the instruction and go down the pipe.
 * Room 3: The room below has two Bouncers and 60 Gems. Defeat the Bouncers, then go up the next pipe, returning to Room 2 and proceed.
 * Room 4: You will fall down the hole to reach two more Bouncers and the first Stone Chest. Touch the Stone Chest from the side to open it, grab the Stone Piece and the Gold Coin, and move on.
 * Room 5: A block is in your path. Make a body slam to break it. The next part you need to jump after slamming in order to clear the block. Notice that many big blocks in this stage contain a Bronze Coin.  Do not miss them.
 * Room 6: There are the second Stone Chest, 160 Gems and three Bouncers. If you want a higher score, save the Bouncers first and defeat them later.
 * Room 7: Green blocks need a super charge to break. Follow the instruction.  The second part adds a jumping action.
 * Room 8: A narrow passage with two Bouncers and a few blocks, the end of which is green. A Big Diamond is hidden in the upper blocks.
 * Room 9: Pick up the rock, hold for a while and throw straight forward to clear the small passage.  You will find a ladder to above floor, and an obvious block on the right.  Break the block on the right to discover a room with a Spearman and a Heart Chest.  Climb the ladder and you will find a second rock, and another block above.  Aim the block from below and break it, then proceed left.  There is the third block and another blocks.  Clear them and proceed.
 * Room 10: 160 Gems, two Bouncers, one Spearman, and third Stone Chest. Grab the goods and leave.
 * Room 11: You will learn the method of rolling down the slope, in order to clear the low tunnel. You will see the Key Ghost in the air.  Simply touch him and he will follow you.  Now roll down a second slope to proceed.
 * Room 12: 60 Gems, a Big Diamond, two Bouncers, one Spearman, and fourth Stone Chest. Before opening the chest, step above to collect the Big Diamond.  Move on.
 * Room 13: Now you need to push in the air to stomp the block.  You will find two green blocks on the floor, and a ladder upwards to gain enough height to perform a super stomp.  There is a Big Diamond above the platform, but before stomping, slam the left wall for a hidden room with two Spearmen and another Big Diamond.  Super-Stomp the green blocks to return to Room 1.
 * Room 1 (revisited): Keep in the center during falling, for 150 Gems. Slam the blocks at the right, then bring the rock from the left to the right.  You are now in front of the Frog Switch.  Step on it to open the warphole, with timer start to ticking.  Now use the rock to clear the small tunnel, crawl through and jump into the warphole.

Highest Possible Score: 11030 (You must save all enemies before collecting the hidden full-power, turn all enemies red before killing them, and keep yourself unharmed.)

Hard Version
Only the differences will be listed.
 * Room 3: A Spearman replaces the usual Bouncers.
 * Room 4: Three Spearmen replaces the Bouncers.
 * Room 6: Three Spearmen instead of Bouncers.
 * Room 9: An extra Spearman at the ladder, one more in the hidden room with Heart Chest.
 * Room 10: All three enemies are Spearmen, one blue and two yellow.
 * Room 11: One fewer small coin at room exit.
 * Room 12: No Big Diamond.  Two blue Spearmen instead of Bouncers.  The red one does not change.

Highest Possible Score: 10830

Super Hard Version
Mostly the same as the Normal and Hard Version except that the Frog-Switch is located at entrance of Room 4. Also, all enemies will be red. Another thing is that instead of having the Heart Chest in the small room with the two Spearmen, there is a big gem in the place of it and no heart chest in the level at all. There is also a Spearman in the second rock-throwing room.

Highest Possible Score: 11430
