In this thrilling adventure, players will navigate through 20 massive stages, collecting gold and treasure to buy bonus items after each stage. Additionally, the game offers a range of delightful mini-games for players to enjoy during breaks.
Upon its initial release in 2001, Wario Land 4 received high praise, scoring a 9/10 from IGN. The review highlighted the game's diverse design and challenging nature, noting, "There's a lot of variety in the game design and it's more challenging than the usual side-scrolling fare due to its focus on making players figure out how to get to certain locations in the level."
With Wario Land 4, Nintendo adds the 24th Game Boy Advance title to its expansive library, joining other classics such as Mario Kart: Super Circuit, The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team.
