Wario Land 4

Forget saving the world with grace; Wario Land 4 is all about pure, unadulterated greed. After spotting a mysterious pyramid in the paper, our favorite anti-hero dives headfirst into a cursed temple to hoard treasure. This GBA classic ditches the standard heroics for brute force, letting you shoulder-charge, ground-pound, and transform your way through bizarre, puzzle-filled stages. It is a masterclass in platforming design that rewards curiosity and aggressive exploration, forcing you to think fast as you scramble to escape levels before time runs out. It is weird, punchy, and unapologetically Wario.
