History VideoGame / WarioLand4

* {Expy}}: Dr. Stein may be a CanonImmigrant from ''For the Frog the Bell Tolls'', but he also heavily resembles ''Wario Land 3'' and ''Dr. Mario 64'' enemy Mad Scienstein; if it weren't for the different art styles, their faces would be practically identical.

* GuideDangIt: The Golden Diva has a method of hurting her which involves throwing a hammer she tosses at you on yourself, which turns Wario into Spring Wario, allowing him to smash into the Diva's mask. The game gives absolutely no indication that you're supposed to do this, and the player may even assume you're supposed to throw it at the Diva (which won't remotely harm her).

** Every boss is fought on a time limit, with treasures starting to disappear I you take too long.

* WakeUpCallBoss: The normally easy Spoiled Rotton becomes this in Super Hard mode - you have a scant ''15 seconds'' to defeat it.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Because the levels tend to be rather long and have to be beaten in one sitting to get the treasures, the game comes with a suspend save option on the pause screen, which allows you to save your game at the exact last spot you were at, then return to the title screen and shut off the game safely, so you can pick up where you left off later in a case where you're tired or have to stop playing.

** Also, beating the Golden Diva without all the treasures will respawn all the bosses (but keep all the treasures and levels beaten) when you go back to your save file, giving a player a second shot at getting all the treasures again.

** Because the boss fights have time limits and you can lose the best ending if you don't get all three trerasures late in them, the game gives an item shop before each fight, which you can use to knock off as many as ten hit points before a fight, in exchange for some minigame medals. This is especially helpful in Hard Mode.

The gameplay is a bit different from its predecessors - while Wario still has his unique transformations, he now has a life meter, and thus can die much like he could in the first ''Wario Land'' and ''Wario Land 3'''s final boss. (There are no lives, though - you're simply kicked out of the level without any of the money you found in it.)

''Wario Land 4'' (''Wario Land [[SuperTitle64Advance Advance]]'' in Japan) is the fourth game in the ''VideoGame/WarioLand'' series, originally released in 2001 for the GameBoyAdvance.

* MultipleEndings: How many of the treasures you earned for quickly beating the bosses at the end determines what form Princess Shokora takes, and what bonus images are received at the end of the credits and what vehicle Wario is driving during them is determined by the difficulty level of the file.

* CoolCar: The first appearance of Wario's car.

''Wario Land 4'' was given a limited rerelease for Ambassadors on the Nintendo3DS.

* TimedMission: Every level turns into this when you hit the Frog Switch. ''Entire'' Golden Passage is this, considering it's placed under the starting vortex, [[spoiler:and if you're playing on on S-Hard entire Palm Tree Paradise, as well as most of the ''[[TutorialLevel Hall of Hieroglyphs]]'', as you're forced to hit Frog Switch early in the level.]]

* TimedMission: Every level turns into this when you hit the Frog Switch.

* WarmUpBoss: Spoiled Rotton, except on Super Hard.

** It seems [[Manga/SoulEater oddly familiar, too]].

The gameplay is a bit different from its predecessors - Wario now has a life meter again, and thus he can die. (There are no lives, though - you're simply kicked out of the level without any of the money you found in it.) Because of this, people find it a bit weaker than the previous two, but it's still a good game.
