Version 1.0 [3-1-2002]
The FAQ is complete. Since it only covers Hard Mode, check my other
Wario Land 4 FAQs if you want to know about Normal Mode and S-Hard
Mode.

=====================================================================
2. WHAT'S DIFFERENT IN HARD MODE
=====================================================================

There are many more enemies than in Normal Mode. This means more
money, but it also means frustration, especially because support
enemies are always in the way.

Almost all Jewel Pieces have been replaced. They're usually found
where diamonds could be found in Normal Mode. This means you'll have
to explore many secret passages you may not have found in Normal
Mode.

Apart from Jewel Pieces, other things are found in different places.
You'll notice the differences when you play.

Time to complete a level is significantly shorter. Moreover, you have
1 less minute to defeat a Boss.

Items in the Item Shop are more expensive than before.

___/ENTRY PASSAGE\___________________________________________________
---------------------------------------------------------------------

+---------------------+
| HALL OF HIEROGLYPHS |
+---------------------+

From the start, go up the platforms on the right, and into the
corridor at the top. Stand on the pipe and press Down to enter it. In
the room below, collect the crystals and kill the two monsters, then
enter the upside-down pipe. Head right.

Collect the crystals and get the first Jewel Piece from the box.
Continue down the hall and you'll come to a block. Use the charge to
break it, and break the following block with a jump attack.
In the next room, get the crystals and the second Jewel Piece. Moving
on, you'll come to blue blocks, which you'll have to smash with dash
attacks.

In the next corridor you'll find many blocks, one of which hides a
diamond. Move ahead and you'll come to a room with a stone. Grab the
stone and press B to charge up, then release to throw the stone and
break the small blocks. Go ahead, but don't climb the ladder yet -
instead, break the block on the right to find a secret room with a
heart medal in a box. Now, go climb the ladder.

Pick up the stone and charge, then throw it upwards to smash the
block. Climb up there and crawl into the passage. In the next
corridor you'll find the third Jewel Piece, then you'll have to
experiment the roll. When you're done, grab the Keyzer and go on.

A diamond is waiting in the next section, along with the final Jewel
Piece. Get 'em, then continue on to try the slam attack and the super
slam attack. You'll also find a diamond, and another if you break the
left wall before performing the super slam attack.
Pick up the stone and put it close to the steps, then press the
switch. Countdown is 00:15. Use the stone to break the blocks, and
crawl back to the vortex to end the level.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Being the first time you attempt the bonus games, they'll only cost
you 2,000 coins a game, rather than 5,000. Try them if you want.

For this first level, the Item Shop will only sell these items:

Apple Bomb 3 Medals
Blast Cannon 3
Vizorman 6
Bugle 9

Choose one if you want, then go fight the Boss.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

+----------------------+
| BOSS: SPOILED ROTTEN |
+----------------------+

Time: 1:00

Just hit it with regular attacks all the time. When it opens its
mouth, get behind it with jump attacks and hit him from behind. Watch
out for the Spikeheads.

_______________
___/EMERALD PASSAGE\_________________________________________________
---------------------------------------------------------------------

+--------------------+
| PALM TREE PARADISE |
+--------------------+

Gotta love the music here! From the start, proceed right, collecting
crystals and smashing everything in your way. In the section with the
dotted "!" red blocks, you'll find the first Jewel Piece.

When you get to the passage obstructed by blocks, step on the first
small block, and jump to discover the main feature of this level -
fake walls! This one is cleverly hiding the second Jewel Piece. Get
it, then smash the blocks for more coins.

The next group of blocks is hiding a door. Enter it and you'll be in
a cave. Climb the ladder to find the third Jewel Piece, then climb to
the top and enter the upside-down pipe.

BONUS ROOM
Meet the Professor. This guy can't be destroyed, but you can abuse
him in every conceivable way. Stun him, then throw him to the switch
to create a ladder, and reach the diamond on top.

Get back to the cave and drop down, collecting the crystals on the
way, then get out.

See those ascending crystals? They're a clue to find a secret
entrance to the next cave. Go through the wall to appear very close
to the box holding the final Jewel Piece - and there's a diamond to
collect, too. From the box, go down and collect all the crystals,
then go through the right wall to find the metal box that holds the
CD. Get it, then climb the platforms and move on.

Outside, you'll have your first encounter with the monkey. Monkeys
shoot apples that will turn Wario into Fat Wario. Go to the red "!"
switch and hit it. Climb the blocks and get the Keyzer, then go back
and become Fat Wario. See that slightly different chunk of ground?
Stomp on it and you'll drop to a cave below. Drop down the edge of
the platform to smash through the cave bottom and discover a secret
diamond, then collect the crystals and hit the green switch.

Get out and go slightly back to find two new green blocks. Use them
to reach the upside-down pipe above.

BONUS ROOM
Go to the top and grab the Professor. Throw it at the small blocks on
the right, then quickly go back down to get him before he falls into
the water. Now use him to break the small blocks on the left, and do
a crouching jump from the platform above to get into the passage and
collect the diamond. Get out.

Go ahead. You'll soon come to a heart medal, and to the switch. Press
it. Countdown is 0:45. Run all the way back to the vortex, stopping
only to collect those few crystals you didn't get before.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

+-------------------+
| WILDFLOWER FIELDS |
+-------------------+

Note for the level: if a Beezley pollinates a flower, you can hit the
blossom to get some coins. Wait for it to grow and become orange
before hitting it, but don't wait any longer or it'll rot.

Go to the second flower and get stung to become Puffy Wario. Float to
the very top, avoiding all the platforms on the way, and you'll come
to the metal box of the CD. Get it.
Drop down, collect the crystals on the right, then drop to the screen
below. Go left and get all the crystals, then go back to the ground
and proceed right.

In the next section, go near the blue block in the ground, then get
stung and float to the small platform above. Perform a super smash
attack and you'll break the block. Go down and you'll find a cave.

To defeat the moles, you have to smash attack the ground so that
they'll pop out, then hit them. Go left and drop to the bottom. Go
down the corridor, and climb to the upper corridor at the end.
Collect everything, then pick up the stone and jump up the platforms.
Use the stone to break the block above, then return to the cave
entrance and go right to get the first Jewel Piece. Now get out, and
go right to the next section.

Climb up to the top, then go right. Jump down and do a super smash
attack, collecting the crystals while falling. You'll break a blue
block, and gain access to yet another cave.

Drop down the edge and perform another super smash attack to uncover
a pipe at the bottom of the cave. Enter it.

BONUS ROOM
Grab the Professor and throw him to the other side of the small wall,
then do the same on the other side so that he drops to the bottom of
the room. Now use him to bounce higher and reach the diamond. Now go
back to the cave.

Climb the platforms, and bounce on the last mole to get the heart.
Now enter the door on the right. Dive and swim left to the ascending
current, then swim up and keep pressing up to take all the passages
leading upwards. At the crossroad, go left and keep going up. When at
the top, get the second Jewel Piece, then drop down on the left and
super smash attack to break the ground below and find a diamond. Go
back to the crossroad, but this time, go right. Collect all the
crystals. Now use the slope on the right to do a roll and get all the
crystals. Go back where you found the box, and enter the door. Swim
up, collecting all the crystals, until the next door.

You're now on the highest place in the level. Drop to the platform
below and get the heart medal, then drop off the edge on the far
left. From there, go right to the next section.

Get stung and float up to the two red crystals, and to the section
above. On the top you'll find the third Jewel Piece. Get it and go
back down, and continue right. Get stung to reach the leaf platform
and the heart at the far left. On the right of that platform is the
final Jewel Piece. Get it, then drop down and go right.

Eat the monkey's apple to become Fat Wario, and break the blue block
below the monkey. You'll find many crystals, and a pipe. Go down it.

BONUS ROOM
Use good ol' Professor to hit the "!" switch blocks and to break the
small block that obstructs the passage to the diamond. Grab the
treasure and go back out.

Climb the vines and do a super smash attack from the top to break the
blue block. Step on the switch. Countdown is 1:20. Get the heart
above the switch, and start running back.

On the way back, climb the small green platforms and go left. Now you
can proceed left and get the Keyzer. Don't forget the hearts below
the platform with the Keyzer. Roll to break the small block near the
end. When you get to the next screen, jump up the platform, past the
pit, and past the spikes to break the wall and find a diamond. Now
break the right wall, and jump into the vortex.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

+-------------+
| MYSTIC LAKE |
+-------------+

Enter the door on your right. Climb down the ladder, stun the Spear
Mask, and pick it up. Hop to the other side of the lake, getting the
heart and the crystals, and use the enemy to break the small blocks.
Crouching jump into the passage.

Pick up the stone, and power throw it over the wall to break the
block. Open the box and get the heart medal, then go back and dive
into the lake.

Swim ahead, collecting hearts and crystals. Slightly past the column
of blocks in the lake bottom, you'll see a slightly different chunk
of ceiling, with two crystals just below. Smash through it to reach a
secret room. Get the first Jewel Piece on the right, then go left and
do a power slam to break the blocks at the bottom and find 2 hearts
and a pipe. Go down it.

BONUS ROOM
Grab the Professor and power throw him to the other side of the pond.
Go there, and pick him up again. Stay on the left, and throw him
normally so that he breaks the block underwater. Swim down there to
find a diamond, then get out again.

When you see it, surface to get the diamond in the small room, then
move on. In the next section, beware the black holes - a big fish is
bound to get out as soon as you get too close. Stay alert and collect
the crystals. When you have to choose between going up or right, go
right to collect the diamond behind the blocks. From there, you can
always backtrack to get all the crystals. When you're done, continue
up and get out of the water. Go right, then turn around and dash.
Jump past the water and destroy the wall on the left to find the
second Jewel Piece, then return right and go on.

The next corridor has two Hammer guys and a Spikehead. Now, have a
close look at the place. If you stand in the part where the ground
slopes slightly downwards, you'll see that the ceiling is somewhat
different. Get hit to become Bouncy Wario, and spring to that point
to open a secret passage to the top. There you'll find the third
Jewel Piece. Now go back down and exit right.

Dive into the lake, and swim ahead. Now, every time you see a column
of crystals, bubbles will appear and try to get you and carry you all
the way to the top, making you lose lots of time. Swim fast and
precisely to avoid them, and continue until you get to the last
bubble-maker. Here, get into a bubble so that you can get past the
descending current at the top, and get the final Jewel Piece. Now go
back down, right, and surface again. Go on.

Go to the other side of the lake, and enter the upside-down pipe.

BONUS ROOM
Climb the platforms, grab the Professor, and power throw him over the
wall, and into the water. Quickly go back down and to the left, and
grab the ladder before the Prof hits the "!" switches, changing the
platforms in the room. Get the diamond and go back to the lake.

Go right and press the switch. Countdown is 2:00. Dive to the bottom,
avoiding the spinning maces, and head right. Avoiding the spinning
maces again and collect the crystals and the Keyzer just out of the
water at the top, then go back to the bottom and swim all the way up
and left. Surface and go left.

Be very careful not to eat the monkeys' apples on the way back, or
you'll lose a lot of time. When you're back to the first area past
the door, dash attack to smash the blue block left of the door and
open the passage to the CD. Once you have it, go through the door and
into the vortex.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

+----------------+
| MONSOON JUNGLE |
+----------------+

Immediately enter the upside-down pipe.

BONUS ROOM
Dash and hit the switch while running - this way, you'll prevent the
stone from falling into the water below. Pick it up and use it to
break the blocks and reach the diamond. Now, get out.

Use the moving platforms to cross the lakes and collect the crystals.
After the second set of platforms though, drop down and dive below
the wall to the left. You'll end up in a secret room with a box
containing a heart medal. Now go back, up the wall, and to the left.

Get an apple from the monkey, and smash the blue block. You'll fall
to a cave full of crystals. Get as many as you can, but after the
last row (which is the closest to the right wall), stay near the wall
to fall on another fragile block. Below is the first Jewel Piece. Now
get back up and left, and smash the floor beside the left wall. Keep
on pounding the ground so that the Hammer guy bounces up the platform
and to the cave floor. Get hit and, as Bouncy Wario, spring through
the passage full of crystals. You'll soar through the upper room, and
get to yet another secret room at the top.

Roll down the slope to get to the box with the CD, then go back down.
Head right and into the upside-down pipe.

BONUS ROOM
Go to the far left and you'll find an Indian. Wait for him to shoot
an arrow, then go back right, with the arrow following you. At the
pipe, get stung so that you become Puffy Wario, and float to the
diamond. Exit the room.

Collect all the remaining crystals in this area, then move on to the
left. Jump from platform to platform, collecting the crystals, until
you get back to solid ground. When this happens, drop down twice. At
the third fall, press right or you'll land on the switch, and you
still don't want to.

Destroy all the blocks. Now dash attach towards the switch to break
the blue block behind it. Climb the ladder, go to the edge of the
platform, and get stung by the Indian's arrow. As Puffy Wario, float
as high as you can, to the entrance of the area, and to the passage
above it. You'll be in a new area. Dash from one platform to the
other to get over the wall at the far left. The second Jewel Piece is
there. When you're done, return to the switch, and press it.

Countdown is 2:45. Run to the right, and at the second group of
blocks, break the blocks to find a door. Enter it, climb to the top,
and drop down. Now break the left wall, and get the stone behind it.
Power throw it towards the door, then go there, pick it up, and go up
the platforms. Power throw the stone to the red block to break it and
reveal the third Jewel Piece. Now get out.

Continue right. Climb the ladder at the far right, and at its top
you'll find the final Jewel Piece. Now drop down, climb the ladder on
the left back up, and go back to the previous area. Return to the
first slope at the far left, and roll down it and to the next area.
There, fall down the edge of the cliff, wait for a moment, then jump
on the platform at the end to break the wall and find a secret
passage full of crystals. Enter the pipe at the end and you'll be
back to the entry area. Here, get on the blue platform to grab the
Keyzer at its end, then swim all the way to the right and use the
swinging platforms to jump back into the vortex.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Now you can play the mini-games. From now on though, they'll cost a
whopping 5,000 coins for each game. When you're done, proceed to the
Boss' lair.

Now the most expensive weapons will be available at the Item Shop.
They are:

Black Dog 12 Medals
Large Lips 12
Big Fist 12
Black Dragon 12

Buy one if you want, then move on to challenge the Boss.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

+---------------+
| BOSS: CRACTUS |
+---------------+

Weak against: Black Dragon
Treasure: Crown
Time: 3:00

Begin the battle by breaking its vase to wake it up. Now climb on the
ladders, and wait for it to attack. It'll try to hit you with its
spiky leaves. Slam it on the head to hit it. After the hit, stay
behind it so it has to back off, giving you time to return to the
ladders.
After some hits, it will sometimes go offscreen, then reenter and
drop many drool drops that will turn you into Zombie Wario if
touched. You can avoid this attack by standing below - or on - the
left ladder. Anyway, if you do get zombified, a firefly will appear.
Touch it to become Wario again. Note that the Boss will also release
its zombifying drool when hit.
The more damage you deal, the quicker the Boss attacks, and the
farther its leaves can reach. However, its attack pattern never
changes. If you're good, you can stay on the right ladder and hit the
Boss as soon as he stops flashing after a hit. This way, you'll
defeat it in no time. Just be careful not to touch it.

___/RUBY PASSAGE\____________________________________________________
---------------------------------------------------------------------

+---------------------+
| THE CURIOUS FACTORY |
+---------------------+

Break the blocks along the way. Beware the spiky-headed robots - they
can detach their heads and send them rolling on the ground at you. In
the next section you'll find the first of many platform wheels. In
order to use these, you must step on the left or right platform so
that the wheel rotates in that direction, and you can proceed. Use
this first wheel to go over the wall on the right, then use the next
wheel to reach the corridor on the far right.

In the corridor ahead you'll find three pistons. If they hit you,
you'll become Flat Wario. So, get hit by a piston, and return to the
left. Jump from the very edge of the platform and float to the left,
to the wheel you just used. When you're there, jump on the left
platform of the wheel, then jump and float to the platforms on the
left. Collect the heart, then go along the small passage and jump
past the tight hole. Enter the detector to become Wario again, and
take the first Jewel Piece.

Now return to the pistons, and go ahead. Break the blocks at the end
of the corridor, and drop down to collect the crystals. Turn to the
left and break the block beside the base of the ladder to find a
passage leading to a pipe. Enter it.

BONUS ROOM
Grab the Professor and use him to break the small blocks in the upper
passage and hit the "!" switch. Roll down the slope to get the
diamond, then get out.

Continue to the right, and to the next section. Here you'll have to
use many wheels to get to the top-left exit, where a heart is
waiting. The problem is, a group of metal birds is ready to kick you
off the wheels, so get out of their view quickly, and go on. The next
room is full of conveyor belts. Break the block in the left wall to
find a small alcove with a pipe. Go down it.

BONUS ROOM
Grab the stone and wait for the piston's led to flash red. When it
does, the piston's going to smash the ground. Jump to avoid the
impact wave, then quickly go past the piston and power throw the
stone through the small passage. Now become Flat Wario, and simply
walk off the ledge to get through the middle hole in the wall. Dive
into the water to become Wario again, then pick up the stone and
power throw it through the lowermost hole in the wall. This will open
the passage to the diamond. To get there, be Flat Wario and float to
the middle hole in the right wall, and from there just drop and float
to the left. Get the diamond and exit.

Go up the conveyor belts to the top of the room, and go left. Get the
heart, and break the wall to uncover a small room with the second
Jewel Piece. Now go right and enter the corridor to go ahead.

Go down the ladder, and get hit by the Torchman to become Flaming
Wario. When you are completely enveloped in flames, touch the block
with the flame symbol to get the heart behind. Now dash to the right
to break the block at the end of the corridor, and go down.

Get all the crystals and the third Jewel Piece, being very careful of
the metal birds, and get back up. Climb the ladder and jump from one
conveyor belt to another to collect crystals and the Keyzer. Now
return to the second belt, and fall on the right to find the switch.
Press it.

Countdown is 2:50. Go back to the ladder, climb it, and go all the
way to the right and into a newly opened corridor. Collect crystals
and hearts in the next room, and get squashed to become Flat Wario
before you go ahead.

Drop down in the wheels room to get to the now-open passage at the
bottom-right corner, and drop down again. Float to the right to get
on the platform there, then crawl along the small passage and float
past the tight hole. Become Wario again and get the CD, then continue
on.

Use the spinning and the floating platforms to get all the way left,
and collect the final Jewel Piece. Now go up and run to the left to
return to the vortex.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

+--------------------+
| THE TOXIC LANDFILL |
+--------------------+

Drop down the platforms to get all the crystals and one heart. You'll
land on a TV. Break all the garbage around it, and go down the
corridor leading to the right.

In the next room, go all the way right, and get an apple from the
monkey to become Fat Wario. Break the blue block and you'll fall to a
room below. Get the crystals, then break the blocks and get stung by
the Indian to turn into Puffy Wario. Float all the way up and into
the passage above the monkey. Avoid all the spikes to get to the top,
where you'll find a diamond and a pipe. Enter the pipe.

BONUS ROOM
Pick up a stone, go right, and power throw it at the green "!"
switch. Now pick up another, and do the same at the edge of the green
platform. Get yet another stone, and drop it on the red platform,
then grab another stone and return on the red platform. Hit the green
switch, jump on the new green platform, and use the stone you keptt
apart to hit the final red switch. Collect the diamond and get back
out.

Go back to the room with the monkeys, and this time, get an apple
from the monkey on the left. Break the blocks below the blue one, and
when you hit solid ground, break the left wall to find many crystals,
then break the blocks below the ladder. When you stop, break the wall
left of the ladder until you get to the first Jewel Piece. Get it and
enter the door.

Walk on the platform until you get to the second monkey. Get on its
right side, then eat its apple. Smash the first block on the monkey's
right to slam on the sewer floor and break it to reveal a passage
with many crystals, a diamond, and a heart. Now surface and get out
on the far right.

Get hit by a Hammer guy to become Bouncy Wario. Jump up at the door,
and soar through the blocks and to the passage in the ceiling. Enter
the door you'll find there.

Drop to the right and super smash attack to break the block at the
bottom. Swim left and touch a bubble to float to the surface next to
the second Jewel Piece. Now go back down and enter the currents to
get all the crystals, then get back out.

Turn into Bouncy Wario again, but this time, jump at the right side
of the room. You'll find yet another passage at the top, and a
corridor leading right.

Take the upper passage, and break the garbage on the right. Continue
down the passage, then, when you can see the passage get larger,
break the tires to get to a secret door. Enter it.

In the following room, stun the monkey and pick it up. Power throw it
to the small blocks above to break them, so that the Hammer guy
falls. Be hammered to turn into Bouncy Wario, and jump up to find the
third Jewel Piece and a heart. Go back down and grab the monkey.
Throw it past the water and near the door, and get Fat again. Drop
into the water to break the bottom and reveal a diamond, along with
many crystals and a heart. Now go back through the door.

Go back left and to the blue block. Dash attack it to break it, and
start destroying the garbage on the right. When you've destroyed
three chunks, smash the one below you and make your way to the left,
where the CD is waiting.

Now go back and continue breaking the trash to make out a way to the
right. When you see crystals below you, stop going right and break
the floor to get the crystals. Go to the left until you find a
diamond and a heart, then start going back. At one point, you'll see
that you can break two blocks in the floor; below them is a pipe.
Enter it.

BONUS ROOM
Eat an apple to become Fat Wario, and run into all the Black Spinys
to earn tons of coins. Now go back out and proceed to the right
through the trash until you reach the door. Go through it.

Press the switch. Countdown is 3:30. Eat an apple from the monkey,
and as Fat Wario, stomp the blue block near the door to fall to the
room bottom. Run to the right, and to the next section. Take the
heart and go back to the previous room.

Now turn into Bouncy Wario, and spring exactly below the fifth block
from the left. This way, you'll soar right to the Keyzer. When you
have it, go right, drop down, and super smash attack to destroy the
blue block at the bottom.

In the room below, just dash attack the zillion breakable blocks that
block your way, and climb the ladder at the end. Now you're back in
the first room. Get stung by an arrow and, as Puffy Wario, float all
the way up to the top of the room, where you'll find two hearts and
the final Jewel Piece. Get them, then drop to the bottom again, get
Puffy, and float to the vortex.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

+-----------------+
| 40 BELOW FRIDGE |
+-----------------+

Go right and climb up the ladder. Jump from one conveyor belt to
another to go as high as you can, and lure the Spikehead off the top-
left platform so that you can get the diamond there. Now get over the
wall on the right, and go to the bottom to break the normal block.
Now get back up, and super slam attack to break the floor below and
proceed through the level.

Go ahead until you see snow falling. Stay there and get submerged by
snow to turn into Snowman Wario. Just touch the slope on the left to
start rolling and destroy the snowball block to reach the next
section.

Take the heart, then follow the lower passage to the door and enter.
Enter the second passage from above, and follow it to the end to find
a diamond.

Go back to the passage entry, and take the passage below. Get the
heart, then crouching jump to the small opening below to get the
first Jewel Piece. Retrace your steps, skip the passage below you,
and go down the one that follows. At the end is the Keyzer. Now go to
the passage entrance, and super slam attack to break the block at the
bottom and uncover a pipe. Go down it.

BONUS ROOM
Get bubbles from the bird, and use them to hit the two "!" switches
on the other side of the wall and clear the way to the diamond. Then,
get out.

Go down the bottom corridor, and take the heart at its end. Now, from
the bottom passage, count three corridors, and enter the third one.
Follow it to the end and you'll find a door. Enter it.

Climb the icy wire to the crystal, and turn into Snowman Wario. Get
back down and touch the slope to roll and clear the way. Climb the
ladder, then roll down the right slope to find a secret niche with
the second Jewel Piece. Back to the previous room, make your way to
the very top, stopping only to collect the crystals and the heart
that's just below the highest platform. Once at the top, turn into
Snowman Wario and drop down 'til you're back to the ladder. Roll down
the slope on its left and you'll eventually reach a door. Enter it.

Turn into Snowman Wario and roll down the first slope to collect some
crystals. Now go to right, on the second slope from the floor. Roll
down it and jump when you're on the small platform to break a series
of small blocks and reach a room, at the top of which sits the third
Jewel Piece. From there, jump up, take the heart, and get snowed.
Roll down the slope to find a secret pipe. Enter it.

BONUS ROOM
Stun the Yeti and carry him to the second long platform, then drop
him and stay on the left. He'll then freeze you and send you sliding
past the spikes and to the diamond. Grab it and get back out.

Return to the first snowball maker and turn into Snowman Wario. Use
your little jumping abilities to reach the slope above the bottom-
left tunnel, and from there, slide to the final Jewel Piece. Now, go
to the long slope at the top-left, roll down normally, and jump
before you fall down to find a diamond. Do it again, and just before
you hit the wall, jump to break through a small passage and find a
heart and a diamond. Finally, get snowed and go to the bottom-left
tunnel, and slide out of this room and into the following. Go left
and you'll find the switch. Press it.

Countdown is 3:30. Climb the ladder and get the heart, and become
Snowman Wario. Roll down the slope and you'll stop at the bottom of a
cave after quite a long trip. Dash attack all the blocks between you
and the ladder, and don't forget the coins and the diamond you'll
find in some of them.

Climb the ladder to the top, avoiding getting frozen by the Yetis. At
the top, go right and climb the next ladder. Crawl through the small
passage and fall down. Go down still, then left, and break the block
from below. Now fall into the hole, retrace your steps to the vortex,
and from there go right one more time. Get the CD from the box, then
go left and into the vortex.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

+--------------+
| PINBALL ZONE |
+--------------+

Go left and collect the crystals, the roll down the slope. When you
stop, go up the platforms, avoiding the spiky balls, and climb the
wire. At the end, go right for a heart, then left, and through the
door.

In this room, for the first time, you'll have to throw each one of
the four black balls into one of the metallic "mouths". This will
destroy the block with the number on it, allowing you to reach the
door. Enter it.

Roll down, but don't enter the door yet. Instead, go slightly back
and destroy the small blocks to get to the box with the first Jewel
Piece. NOW go through the door.

Again, you'll have to throw the black ball into the "mouths" to
release the block, but this time, metal birds will patrol the area.
Before you do the job anyway, destroy the block on the right wall, at
the same height of the exit door. Enter the pipe behind the block.

BONUS ROOM
Turn into Flaming Wario, and while running, jump up the platforms and
hit the "!" switch. Jump up the next platforms, and do the same with
the following switch. At the end of the final platform, you'll be
completely flamed, and able to break the flame block. Get the diamond
and leave.

Now get those black balls in place. To get your hand on the ones on
the out-of-reach platforms, you'll have to slam attack the platforms
below them, so that they bump down near you. When you're done, go to
the top-left platform, and crouching jump down the wall. Press left
at the hole to find the second Jewel Piece. Now get going.

Use the wire to get to the other side, collect the heart, and enter
the door. Here, you'll have another black ball puzzle, but this time,
things are getting more complicated. First, go left and above the
first ball, and slam attack the ground so that the ball bounces into
the mouth. Now go left some more, and eat an apple to become Fat
Wario, then destroy the blue block. Now pick up the ball and take it
to the highest part of the room, and throw it into the mouth in the
center. For the last two balls, simply slam the ground below them to
make 'em roll into the mouths. Now, before you go through the door,
go to the bottom of the room and smash the wall on the right, where
the first "mouth" was. When the way's clear, get the third Jewel
Piece, then eat an apple to become Fat, and go to the blue block in
the floor. Smash it to find a pipe.

BONUS ROOM
Swim up and stay in the water, close to the "!" switch. Get the
monkey's attention so that it throws you an apple, then jump, get the
apple, and hit the block below you. All the Spinys will fall into the
water, turning into lots of cash. Swim down to get it, then get out.
Now you can enter the door.

Roll down the slope, then make your way up and to the left to find
the CD. From there, just go right to the next door. This room is a
bit frustrating because of the sparks and the Yetis. Go left and slam
the floor near the wall to break it. Now grab a ball, and take it to
the right and into the mouth. Now get another ball and go right, and
jump on the platforms above the door. See that small indentation in
the wall? Power throw the ball to open up a passage, take the ball,
and jump on the moving platform to get a heart and put the ball into
the mouth. Now enter the pipe by super slamming the blue block.

BONUS ROOM
Grab the Professor and throw him on the platform above. Now grab him
again and use him to break the small blocks, then go through the
wall, pick the Prof up once more, and jump down. Throw the Prof at
the block to break it and open the passage to the heart medal. Get
out and get going with the balls.

The last two balls are easily placed, so do it. When you're finished,
go left from the exit door and break the wall to find the final Jewel
Piece. Now enter the door. Get to the top and collect the heart, then
crawl below the right head and you'll fall on the switch. Countdown
is 5:15. Go through the door. In the next room, go left (beware the
sparks from the antennas, and the metal birds) and smash the blocks
below the black balls. Now put the balls in place - two mouths are
accessible at the right side of the room, and two are accessible from
the platforms above the exit. Now, get out.

Get the Keyzer and enter the next door. To find the first two balls,
go left and up the platforms. Get the first ball and throw it down to
the right, then slam the blocks below you to get to the second. Put
them in place - the mouths are very close to each other here. The
last two balls are at the top right - bounce on the Yeti to reach
them. Exit.

Roll down the slopes and you'll eventually reach the vortex.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

+---------------------+
| BOSS: CUCKOO CONDOR |
+---------------------+

Weak against: Big Fist
Treasure: Earrings
Time: 3:00

When you pass below it, the cuckoo clock will extend its crane,
trying to get you. If it does catch you, it will carry you to one of
the two spinning wheels at the side of the screen, and this will hurt
you. However, this attack is also the cuckoo's weak point: when the
crane is down, and if you have avoided it, it will flash for a
moment. Hit now, and it will spin around and hit the boss. After some
hits, it will start dropping razor-sharp cogs that will run along the
floor to hit you. Jump over them, and watch out for the left cog,
which is faster.
At one point the clock will blow up, and the condor will show up. It
will drop eggs from its rear (where else, anyway?). If an egg hits
the floor, it will hatch, and a chick will get out. It will walk for
a while, then flash, and eventually explode. Grab the eggs before
they fall to the floor, and throw them at the small condor on the big
condor's head. The more you damage it, the quicker the Boss will
move, until you finally destroy it.

_____________
___/TOPAZ PASSAGE\___________________________________________________
---------------------------------------------------------------------

+-----------------+
| TOY BLOCK TOWER |
+-----------------+

Break the blocks on the right (and learn the main lesson for this
level: blocks with a winking cat face must be destroyed, while still
cat faces mean "don't smash". Blue blocks can't be destroyed), then
pick up the pyramid and carry it to the door. Throw it up to put it
into the slot and open the door. Go in.

Jump from one column to the other, and grab the pyramid at the top.
Use it to open the door below. Go inside and collect the first Jewel
Piece and the crystals, and crawl through the small passage. Hit the
ball to move it ahead and grab the crystals, then get out.

Go through the next door. Break the small block in the left wall,
then break the blocks on the right, but don't enter the door - just
go up. Break the blocks with the cat face, and use the blue one to
get into the passage in the wall and to a pipe. Go down it.

BONUS ROOM
Hit the "!" switch twice quickly, so that the two blocks fall on the
platforms below, and dash attack the blue block in the left wall. Get
the crystals and the heart medal, and get out.

Now make the blue block fall down, and enter the door above it. Take
the crystals, and exit to be back to the previous room. Go up to
where the ball is and push it to the left, and use it to reach the
platforms above. At the top, enter the door.

Break the first and the third cat blocks, but don't touch the one in
the middle. Now go past the blocks, then use them to reach the
crystals above the door. Fall down, getting the crystals along the
way. At the bottom, destroy all the blocks below the blue blocks,
then dash over the blue blocks and break the block on the left for a
diamond. Go right and dash attack to clear the way. At the end of the
corridor, jump on the platform and dash attack again to reach a bunch
of crystals, and the second Jewel Piece. Now go through the door on
the far right.

Get to the stone face. Facing left, turn into Flaming Wario to melt
the flame block on the right. Get flamed again, but this time, jump
on every platform you see ahead of you. This way, you'll get to the
top-right part of the room, where there are many crystals below a
flame block, and a pyramid. Carry the pyramid to the door, and put it
in place. Now, don't enter the door, but go right. Jump attack (or
dash) from the edge to reach the small edge on the high right, and
the wall there will disappear, revealing an upside-down pipe. Enter
it.

BONUS ROOM
Go up the platforms to the red ball, and push it to the left and down
the slope. Stand on it, and super slam attack the blue block on the
left. Now dash attack the other blue block, and finally push the ball
into the indentation in the floor to reach the diamond. Now, get out
and into the door on the far left.

Break all the cat blocks below the left blue block, but only the
upper cat block below the right blue block, to get to the upper
floor. Enter the next door. Facing left, turn into Flaming Wario to
melt the flame block on the far left. Behind the blocks below you'll
find a door leading to a room with the third Jewel Piece. When you're
ready, press the switch.

Countdown is 2:30. Go up the platforms on the right, and through the
door. Break the cat blocks under the blue block, and jump to the
upper floor. Grab the Keyzer and go down the pipe.

When you land, go left and push the red ball down and into the hole
in the floor. Stand on it, and crawl through the small passage. Break
the cat blocks and use the blue block as a platform to reach the
final Jewel Piece on the other side. Drop down and go left. Get the
crystals, and crouching jump into the small hole to reach the
pyramid. Take it right where the door is, and step on the ball to
open the door with the pyramid. Enter to find the CD. Exit, go left,
and up the pipe.

Exit through the door, and go back to the vortex.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

+---------------+
| THE BIG BOARD |
+---------------+

Go right until you get to a sort of slot machine. At that point, a
bar will appear at the bottom of the screen. The first space,
"Start", will be highlighted. When you hit the slot machine, you will
stop it on a number between 1 and 6, and the cursor on the bottom bar
will proceed by that number of steps. The highlighted symbol will
determine what effect you get:

- Platforms with arrows: dotted platform will turn solid, and solid
blocks will disappear.
- Wario's face: Wario will turn into something that may help him
reach hidden areas.
- Heart: you will get one heart.
- Diamond: you'll get a diamond.
- Black man: three enemies will appear.
- Bolt: you'll get hit and lose 400 coins.

On the first try, you'll get the platform change regardless of the
number you pick, so get the crystals by stepping on the platforms.

Go to the next area, and step on the platform and on the slim
platform at the top to find more crystals and hearts, then go ahead.

Stand below a slot machine and face right. Hit the slot so that you
get Wario's face and turn into Flaming Wario. While running left,
jump on the platforms to reach and destroy the flame block, and get
the first Jewel Piece. Now go right and fall down the hole, and dash
attack the right wall to find a secret pipe. Go down it.

BONUS ROOM
Use the bubbles dropped by the green bird to break the small blocks
and make the two toy racers drop to the spikes below. Bounce on them
to safely cross the floor and collect the heart medal in the box. Get
out and go on.

Go down the steps and use the slot machines to get the black man. Use
one of the enemies to break the small blocks in the right wall, and
get the second Jewel Piece behind it. Now collect the crystals and,
if you can, use the second slot machine to change the platforms in
the level. Proceed to the right.

Use the slot machine to turn into Fat Wario. Break the blue blocks
and kill all the Black Spinys for lotsa coins, and to get the third
Jewel Piece in the tunnel below. Now go to the next section.

Go down and use the slot machine to turn into Flat Wario. Float to
the hole high in the right wall, and go right to find the final Jewel
Piece. Now use the next slot machine to change the platforms, then
enter the door. In the next room, turn into Bouncy Wario, and soar
through the first column of blocks in the ceiling to break a blue
block at the top. Now go up the platforms on the right, and enter the
door at the top.

Roll down the slope and you'll hit the switch. Countdown is 2:30. Use
the platforms to reach the door. In the next room, you'll have to use
the slot machines to get the cursor to the last space in the bar,
i.e. the "Goal". In the meanwhile, get the black man and bounce on
the enemies to get the crystals. When you finally get the "Goal", the
floor will disappear. Break the small blocks and drop down, getting
the Keyzer while falling.

Go down and right, in the small corridor above the blue blocks, and
break the blocks. Get the CD, then break the blocks to go down and
get the crystals on the high platform. Enter the door. Go up the blue
platform and enter the upside-down pipe.

BONUS ROOM
Slam attack the ground so that the Professor bounces down next to
you, and power throw him up to hit the "!" switch and create a
platform to the diamond. Get out.

Go left 'til the vortex.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

+--------------+
| DOODLE WOODS |
+--------------+

Go right and jump on the red platform, and from there into the blue
portion of the wall. As you'll find out, you can go through such blue
zones. This one hides some crystals and one heart.

In the next section, you'll meet the Hoggus. It alternatively throws
a spiky snail and a purple flying pig, so watch out. Proceed to the
right, then down. Now go left 'till you have to drop down again, and
this time, you'll see a block in the right wall. Break it and enter
the fake wall to reach a pipe. Enter it.

BONUS ROOM
Start rolling and hit all the "!" switches to get to the bottom of
the room, where a diamond is waiting, then hit them all again to
return to the pipe, and get out.

Go left, and in the second blue wall, break the blocks to find a door
leading to a room that hides the first Jewel Piece. Get it, go out,
and keep going left, then down, and to the right. Go ahead and, when
you get to the slim red platforms, don't go up them - crawl under the
pencils and go left, then up to find a pipe. Enter it.

BONUS ROOM
This bonus room is very tricky. The platforms above the spikes are
only visible until you get close, then they'll be covered by fake
walls. You'll have to memorize the position of the platforms in order
to get to the diamond on the far right of the room. The final
platform can't be seen - you'll have to guess where it is. When
you've collected the diamond, roll back to the entrance, and get out.

Now go right, and when you get to the wall of small blocks, wait for
the Hoggus to release a flying pig. Bounce on it to get over the
wall, and go right and into the door to find the second Jewel Piece.
Now get back and break the small blocks to proceed. Drop down to hit
the switch.

Countdown is 5:15. Go down to get the Keyzer, and roll through the
small corridor. When you've stopped, go up the platforms and to the
next section. Here you'll have to hit the pencils to move them and
create platforms to go on. Hit the first pencil. Watch out for Hoggus
pictures, as some of them will spring to life and attack you. Go up
the red platforms, then go slightly right and hit the blue pencil
above. Go left now, and hit the purple pencil. Use the pencils to go
up. Now go right and up to collect the CD, and hit the red pencil.
Keep going up, and hit the next purple pencil. Go right and drop on
that pencil, and from there jump right to the exit, and to the next
section.

Roll down the slope and jump whenever you see crystals - this way,
you'll get all the crystals and the diamond hidden in a wall. Roll
'til the next section. Here, hit the pencil, then smash the floor to
bring the monkey to the upper platform. Eat its apple and smash the
block on the right side of the pencil. Go along the path and you'll
eventually find the third Jewel Piece. Now get back, move the pencil
back into its original position, and go up and left. When you get to
the next red pencil, hit it, then go up it and hit the next one, then
hit them both so that both of them lean to the left. Now you can use
them to reach the exit of this area.

Roll down the slope and you'll roll through a tight passage below.
When you stop, go left and enter the door. Get the final Jewel Piece,
then exit and jump up the red platforms. Now go left and back to the
vortex.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

+------------+
| DOMINO ROW |
+------------+

Hit the red button to destroy the brick wall. Go through the door and
you'll find out why this level is called Domino Row: when you hit a
pole, all the domino pieces will subsequently fall until they hit the
switch at the end of the row. The fact is, if you let them do this,
you won't be able to reach certain areas. What you must do is to
anticipate the dominos and press the red button at the end of the row
before they do - this way, you'll break brick walls and get access to
some very interesting (and sometimes vital) areas. Do so in this room
and you'll get hearts and crystals. Now enter the door.

In this room, you MUST go faster then the dominos: if you fail, you
won't be able to get the first Jewel Piece, which sits above the next
door. Go through it. In the next room, win the race and you'll set
free a Hammer guy. Get Bouncy and spring to the top to find a pipe.
Enter it.

BONUS ROOM
Grab the Professor and throw him on the higher platforms, then use
him to break the small blocks and make all the Spinys fall into the
water, where they'll turn into shiny silver coins. Get them and the
heart, then leave.

Fall on the right and power slam attack to break the blue block, then
go right and through the door. Now hit the dominos, then roll down
the slope to beat them to the flag and gain access to a secret door.
Enter it and go up. Use the second toy racer to break the big blocks
up ahead and to the right and clear the way to the diamond. Bounce on
a toy racer to get the diamond, then enter the door.

In the next room, you'll have to run and swim to beat the dominos.
Don't worry too much about the crystals, but be sure to press the red
button before the dominos do. When you're done, go back underwater
and get the second Jewel Piece, then go through the next door.

Beating the dominos in the next room will gain you access to a door
leading to the CD, so be sure to win the race. Then break the blue
block, and super slam attack while falling down to break another blue
block and find a pipe. Enter it.

BONUS ROOM
Use the dash attack or the regular charge to hit the "!" switches and
create platforms to get to the diamond. Take it and exit. Now hit the
switch.

Countdown is 3:00. Dive on the left and swim to the door. Now go
down, then left through the passage you opened earlier - this will
save you a lot of time while going back. Go through the next door,
and through the following one, too.

Roll down the slope and jump when you come to a gap - if you keep
this up, you'll get to the third Jewel Piece. Keep rolling to the
next door, and enter it. Now go left, and get hit by the Hammer guy
at the far left, then soar through the blocks and to the crystals at
the top. Now go left.

Keep going until you're back to the entry room, and fall down the
hole to get the Keyzer. In the room below, break all the blocks you
find to get to the final Jewel Piece, then backtrack to the red pipe
and enter it to return to the vortex.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

+----------------+
| BOSS: AERODENT |
+----------------+

Weak against: Large Lips
Treasure: Necklace
Time: 3:00

Beating Aerodent within 2 minutes is hard, so you may want to buy an
item from the Item Shop. I strongly suggest that you do so.
The procedure to beat the boss, however, is easy. Nail-shaped
monsters will parachute towards you. Stun them, then pick them up and
power throw them at the Boss. It will deflate and descend - at that
point, its feet will start glowing. Hit them to turn the Boss upside-
down, then hit the small mouse on its head. Do this as much as you
can before the Boss turns around and ascends out of reach again.
Repeat this procedure for the whole battle. Just be careful of the
fireballs that will start falling from above once the Boss has gotten
weak enough.

________________
___/SAPPHIRE PASSAGE\________________________________________________
---------------------------------------------------------------------

+-----------------------+
| CRESCENT MOON VILLAGE |
+-----------------------+

At the very beginning of the level, you'll meet a flying ghost. It
can spit a green ball that can turn you into Zombie Wario. Get hit,
and jump on the thin platform in the floor to drop down to a room
with many crystals and four hearts. Get out using the pipe, and get
going. Enter the door.

Climb the ladder and go through the next door. Go right and you'll
see a big ghost. It can't hurt you now, but it can steal the coins
that'll roll on the floor when you smash blocks and kill enemies.
Moreover, he may cause a lot of trouble later. Anyway, go ahead, hit
the "!" switch, and go back to collect a diamond. Be sure to hit the
switch again before entering the next door.

Ignore the bat, and go to the upper floor. Roll down the slope on the
left, and jump over the small pit to break the blocks and get to the
ladder. Climb it. Now, get hit by the bat to become Bat Wario. Fly to
the far left, avoiding the candle light, and when you're there, turn
to normal Wario again. Now smash the floor below the candle to find a
secret door. Go in.

Break the blocks on the left, and smash the upper part of the wall to
find a stone. Use it to break the block at the top of the ladder, and
go up there. Crawl into the passage and off the edge, and get into
the other small passage to get the first Jewel Piece. Now get out,
return to the bat, and fly to the door.

Keep going, collecting crystals as you go. When you see the diamond,
jump down to the lower floor. Go right until the last platform before
the door. On this platform is a slope. Roll down it and to the left,
and you'll find a new room. Collect the CD and the hearts, then go
back and roll again to uncover a secret room with the second Jewel
Piece. From here, roll down all the way to the right, and you'll
uncover a secret passage below the steps. At the end is a pipe. Enter
it.

BONUS ROOM
Get zombified by either ghost, and hit them. Quickly get into the
water, and grab one of the ghosts' heads. Use it to break the small
blocks and get to the diamond. Ignore the green bird, and get out and
into the next door.

Climb the ladder and go left. Hit the "!" switch to create slopes
from the "!" blocks, and roll down the one you're close to to get to
a small niche and find the third Jewel Piece. Now go back down and do
the same, and go on to reach a door. Enter it.

Go right, and when you get to the boxes, break them to clear a path.
Enter the upside-down pipe halfway through.

BONUS ROOM
Grab the Professor and power throw him past the wall and on the
block. Now crawl through the passage and all the enemies will try to
charge you, but they will fall into the water, turning into coins.
Get out and go right.

Fall down the hole and collect the crystals in the water. Swim left
to the wall, and into the current going left. This way, you'll be
able to collect the final Jewel Piece. Now exit, go right, and into
the door.

Go up the platforms to collect the diamond, then go back down and hit
the switch. Countdown is 2:45. Turn into Bat Wario and fly up to the
Keyzer, then run back to the vortex. On the way though, watch out for
the big ghosts! They'll steal the Keyzer if they get too close, and
you'll have to get it back if you want to return to the vortex - in
fact, all doors will be closed until you retrieve the Keyzer. Be
careful and run all the way back to exit the level.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

+---------------+
| ARABIAN NIGHT |
+---------------+

Enter the door and meet this level's main feature, the flying
carpets. Step on a carpet and jump repeatedly to go higher. The
carpet will also proceed in the direction you're facing. Be gentle,
because carpets won't follow you if you make a quick move. Use the
first carpet to get to the door.

Drop down and use the carpet to float right up and above the entry
door, where you'll find a pipe. Go down it.

BONUS ROOM
Jump past the Black Spinys and hit the "!" switch to make them fall
into the water and turn into $$$. Now get out and use a carpet to get
to the next door.

Break all the boxes in this room, and be careful of the many, many
monsters here. Now go back to the ladder, and turn into Zombie Wario.
Drop through the platforms on the left side of the room to find the
first Jewel Piece at the bottom, then exit through the door. Enter
the next door you'll find, too.

Use the carpet on the right to float to the door, and enter it. Enter
the pipe you'll find.

BONUS ROOM
Go to the Professor, grab him, and throw him on the upper platform.
Now go back to the pipe and wait for him to come your way. When you
can, stun him from below to make him fall, and use him to break the
block and reach the diamond.

Get out and float up with the carpet, and while you're still on it,
start dash attacking - this way, you'll break the blue block as soon
as you land near it, and you'll be able to get the second Jewel Piece
at the bottom of the next ladder. Now go back to the door, and to the
previous room.

Fly up to the next carpet, and go right to find a heart if you need
it. Now float to the next door, and enter it. Drop to the right, and
get on the carpet. Fly as high as you can, and get the zillion
crystals there, then fly left to the diamond, and down from there to
collect crystals and a heart. Now go back where you found the carpet,
and enter the door.

Go left, and fall through the cylinder with the Beezley inside. Now
go right, and get stung by the Beezley to get Puffy. Float up to
collect the crystals, then get Puffy again, and this time, float up
at the far right. Fall through the cylinder with the Bat, and return
to the left side of the room. Become Bat Wario and fly up to the
ladder, then go down to find the Keyzer. Now, get out.

Dash attack and jump to the right wall. You want to break the
indentation in the wall to open a secret passage leading to the third
Jewel Piece. Take it, then get out again, and use the carpet to fly
up and to the right, and to the door leading to the next room.

Get turned into Zombie Wario to drop through the platform and collect
the crystals below, then go up until you come near the spikes. Turn
into a Zombie again, and go right until the blue platform. Jump when
you're between the last two set of spikes - this way, you'll get many
crystals while falling. You'll land on a lantern, and revert back to
normal Wario. Go down the ladder and press the switch.

Countdown is 3:00. Drop down and get on the carpet. First off, fly to
the left, collecting the many crystals, until you get to a platform
with another carpet. Dismount, and super slam attack down the column
of crystals near the wall to break the box at the bottom of the
water. Now swim left, go up the platforms, and get on the carpet
above. Fly back to the right, and super slam attack the point
indicated by the crystal arrow to break the box below and clear the
path to the final Jewel Piece. Now, swim back left and to the next
section.

Surface and get on the carpet. Be careful, because you only have this
carpet for this section, and if it touches the water, it'll dissolve.
Fly to the left, collecting all the treasures, and stop on the
platform at the end of the passage. Go down the ladder to get the CD,
then get back on the carpet and to the arrow of crystals. Super slam
there to find another underwater passage with yet another diamond,
and from there swim to the left, and go up the pipe at the top. Go
through the door, and back to the vortex.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

+--------------+
| FIERY CAVERN |
+--------------+

Just go right, being careful of the lava pillars that will rise from
the lava pits. Also be aware of the boulder-throwing monsters -
they'll shake the ground before they throw a boulder, so you're
advised!

After a couple of screens you'll get to some small platforms above a
lava pillar, with crystals on them. Jump on the lower-left platform,
and break the wall and then the floor to find a pipe. Go down it.

BONUS ROOM
Hit the green "!" switch and drop down. Get hammered to turn into
Bouncy Wario, and soar past the green switch to hit the grey one
above. Fall back all the way down, get Bouncy, and hit the green
switch. Get the diamond, then exit.

Enter the door you'll find and continue along the way. When you find
a heart near a monster, slightly past a high lava pillar, go left and
past the lava pillar to find a pipe. Enter it.

BONUS ROOM
Grab the Professor and use him to break the small blocks, and go down
the tight passage. Now grab him again, and use him to break the line
of blocks and the "!" switch lined with them. Go down and cross the
bridge, being careful of the lava pillars. Take the Prof one more
time, and carry him back to the left side of the bridge. Here, use
him to hit the "!" switch anew, and crouching jump into the tight
passage to reach the diamond. Now, get out.

Go right, up the ladder, and into the door. Go left and cross the pit
with a dash jump to collect the crystals and the first Jewel Piece,
then go back and to the right. Enter the door at the end of the
corridor.

Slam attack the small blocks and you'll land on the switch. Countdown
is 4:00. Surprise! The whole cave turns icy! And, in the same
fashion, the boulder throwers turn into Yetis. Run to the right and
enter the door.

Go up, avoiding the snowballs, and enter the door. Jump on the
platforms, and go down the ladder to find the second Jewel Piece.
Break the block on your right, go right, and become Snowman Wario.
Touch the right slope and you'll roll to the exit. Before going
through it, get the diamond from the block above.

Enter the next door. Go right and become Snowman Wario, and roll to
the left to find the third Jewel Piece behind the wall. Now go right
and up, then left to the next door.

Go down the ladder, then up the platforms to get the Keyzer. Go left,
dash attack the ice block, and go ahead. When you get to the door,
dash jump to the left to get the diamond, then exit.

Go up and grab the Yeti, then go down to the ground and drop it. Stay
on its left, and get frozen to slide all the way left, where the CD
is waiting. From there, go up. Bounce on the Yeti to get to the
diamond, then exit left.

In the next room, go up, past the Yeti, and break the wall at the
top-left to find the final Jewel Piece. Go down and left to return to
the vortex.

| HOTEL HORROR |

first Jewel Piece, then exit. Go right to the end of the corridor,
and enter Room 104.

enter the upside-down pipe.

BONUS ROOM
Don't touch the glowing background, or the room will be reset. Go up
on the right and lure the Hammer guy down. Get hammered to turn into
Bouncy Wario, and jump above the pipe to break the blocks and get a
diamond. Now go up on the left and get an apple to become Fat Wario,
and break the blue block near the pipe for another diamond. Get out.

Get turned into Zombie Wario, and drop down to the very bottom of the
stairs, where you'll find the second Jewel Piece. Climb back up to
get a diamond, and return to Room 302. Hit the green "!" switch, and
go down to Door 201. Enter it and go into Room 202.

Break the blocks, then turn into Bat Wario. Get the heart above the
door, then fly right and up to the next room. Fly left to the third
Jewel Piece, get normal Wario again, and grab the stone. Get very
close to the wall, and power throw the stone to clear a path leading
to a pipe. Go there.

BONUS ROOM
Go to the left of the Yeti, and get frozen to slide to the left and
kill the Spinys for many coins, then get out.

Go down and into Door 402, then right and into Room 403. Hit the "!"
switch to reach a heart, then get zombified and fall through the
floor slightly right of the door to fall near the final Jewel Piece.
Now get back to the corridor, and all the way to Room 404. Stun the
monkey, grab it, and carry it up to the blue block. Here, drop it and
eat its apple to turn into Fat Wario. Break the blue block and press
the switch below.

Countdown is 3:15. Exit and go to Room 403. Turn into Zombie Wario
and drop to Door 303, and from there go to Room 304. Go down and
enter Door 204. Go left and get into Room 203. Here, break the blocks

| BOSS: CATBAT |
+--------------+

Weak against: Black Dog
Treasure: Bracelets
Time: 3:00

Beware of the drill in the water. The Boss will send high waves at
you. Ride them and use them as platforms to attack the cat on the
Boss' head. When hit, the Boss will release some spiky eyes. Avoid
them or they'll turn you into Puffy Wario.
When it reaches the edge of the screen, the Boss will go offscreen
for a moment, then reenter. As you weaken it, the Boss will also
create waves that rise and lower, along with regular waves.
After some hits, the cat on the Boss' head will disappear, and the
Boss will start spitting red spiked eyes. These ones HURT, so avoid
them at all costs. From now on all waves will go up and down, and to
hit the Boss you'll have to slam attack it on the head. Repeat until
you win.

| GOLDEN PASSAGE |
+----------------+

When you exit the vortex, you'll immediately hit the switch.
Countdown is 6:00. Start running to the right, and never stop.
Chandeliers will tremble and fall, and the platforms above pits will
crumble shortly after you've stepped on them. If you're hit by a
chandelier, you'll turn into Fire Wario and fall in a pit. At the
bottom there is water, but you'll have to go back to the beginning of
the level every time you fall. Luckily, chandeliers that have already
fallen won't reappear. Run to the end of the corridor, and into the
next section.

Break the blocks and make your way to the water. Dive, and get
trapped into the first bubble. Press the D-Pad slightly to the right
to go all the way up and surface near the first Jewel Piece, then get
back and into the bubble on the right. Get the diamond on the way up,
and exit the area.

Go right and fall down to collect the second Jewel Piece. Go back up
with the pipe, and turn into Bouncy Wario. Fall down again, and
spring up to find a diamond, and the exit.

Carefully avoid getting turned into a Zombie, and make your way to
the right. In the next area, go past the first monkey, then turn
around and eat the apple to become Fat Wario. Break the middle column
of blocks to find a diamond below, then go right and back up. Proceed
to the right, and turn into Snowman Wario. Roll down the slope and
you'll get a diamond. Enter the pipe and go back up, and this time,
go right and past the snowballs. Become Bat Wario, and fly up and to
the left to find the third Jewel Piece, then go right.

Go down the ladder, go right and hit the "!" switch, then climb the
ladder up. Roll down the slope, and when you stop, collect the final
Jewel Piece. Now break the block there and fall below, surface, and
go up. You'll be near the ladder again. Go right and grab the
Professor, and use him to break the big block on the right and clear
the way. Go back up the ladder, roll down the slope, and be ready to
jump past two pits to get a diamond and the Keyzer. Once you have the
Keyzer, fall down to the water, and swim back all the way to the
vortex, getting the diamond near the ladder on the way there.

| BOSS: GOLDEN DIVA |
+-------------------+

Time: 5:00

At the beginning of the battle, the Diva will have four masks
spinning around her. One of these will fly around and attack you.
Stun it, then pick it up and power throw it at the Diva's fan. Do
this with all four masks. If a mask gets you, you'll lose a lot of
time, until it finally lets you go.

When the fan is destroyed, a green bug will start flying around. Stun
it as well, and throw it at the Diva's face. Her eyes bulging out,
she'll drop a blue ball that will explode in a couple of seconds. You
must charge it and send it flying at the Diva's head.

Now really angry, the Diva will drop black eggs that'll hatch when
they hit the ground, releasing a black chick that'll explode soon
thereafter. Grab an egg before it falls to the floor, and throw it at
the Diva's face.

In tears now, the Diva will throw spiky hammers at you. Avoid them,
and in a while they'll turn into normal hammers. Pick one up and
throw it up, and make it fall right on YOUR head. Yeah, that's right.
You want to hit yourself in order to turn into Bouncy Wario. When
you've taken the hit, spring right to the Diva's face.

Now the Diva will repeat her attacks, from the green bug to the
hammer, while her face gets impossibly uglier with every hit. After
that, she will start using all of her attacks very quickly, so you'll
often have to cope with two attacks at a time. The black eggs seem to
be the rarest attack in this part.

When she only has 4 energy units left, the Diva's face will get very
long and she'll start pounding the floor, revealing spikes below it.
When she pounds the floor, Wario will be paralysed for a moment, so
jump when she lands. Hit her face when she descends.

When only the last of the Diva's energy units is left, only her lips
will remain. Hit them to end the fight... and the whole adventure!
