In the fourth installment of the Wario Land series, Wario reads about a recently discovered pyramid and goes there to get all the treasure.

The game overall is not that long. Maybe four to five hours. We have 18 levels, including one tutorial level, and six bosses, including one tutorial boss.

The levels are pretty well designed and each one is unique. Unlike Mario Bros. for e.g. where we have one theme per world and about 10 levels in this theme, each level has its own theme here. We have a haunted hotel, a fridge and even a level where it's all about racing against dominos. The only downside might be that some of these levels are really big and a bit confusing. In my perception at least.

The visuals are great and the level of weirdness really fits to Wario. While Mario has powerups, Wario has enemies he can use to progress. For e.g. if a bat bites him, he will turn into a bat to and can fly.

The controls are great as well. Everything feels really precise.
