"The misguided Wario is back, and this time he's in search of riches," reads the synopsis.

The game features 20 massive stages for players to conquer, and the gold and treasure collected can be used to purchase bonus items after each stage. Additionally, players can enjoy a variety of delightful mini-games for a well-deserved break.
Upon its release in 2001, Wario Land 4 received high praise, earning a 9/10 from IGN. The review highlighted the game's variety in design and its challenging nature, which stems from its focus on making players figure out how to navigate to certain locations within the levels.
With the addition of Wario Land 4, the Nintendo Switch Online library now includes 24 Game Boy Advance games, alongside other fan favorites such as Mario Kart: Super Circuit, The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team.
