In Wario Land 4, players will navigate through 20 massive stages, collecting gold and treasure that can be used to purchase bonus items after each stage. For those looking for a break from the main adventure, the game also offers delightful mini-games to enjoy.
Upon its initial release in 2001, Wario Land 4 received high acclaim, earning a 9/10 from IGN. The review praised the game's variety and challenging design, 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."
Wario Land 4 marks the 24th Game Boy Advance game to be added to the Nintendo Switch Online library, joining other classics such as Mario Kart: Super Circuit, The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team.
