In this thrilling adventure, players will navigate through 20 massive stages, using the collected gold and treasure to purchase bonus items after each stage. For those looking for a lighter moment, the game also includes delightful mini-games, providing a break from the main quest.
Originally released in 2001, Wario Land 4 received high acclaim, scoring a 9/10 from IGN. "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," the review stated, highlighting the game's innovative approach to platforming.
With Wario Land 4, Nintendo Switch Online members gain access to the 24th Game Boy Advance title in the library, joining esteemed titles such as Mario Kart: Super Circuit, The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, among others.
