This bounty can be used to purchase bonus items after each stage, adding an extra layer of strategy and satisfaction to the gameplay. Additionally, the game offers delightful mini-games, providing a fun respite from the main adventure.

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, noting that it goes beyond typical side-scrolling games by requiring players to figure out how to reach certain locations within the levels.

Wario Land 4 marks the 24th Game Boy Advance game to be added to the Nintendo Switch Online library. It joins other classics such as Mario Kart: Super Circuit, The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, offering a rich selection of nostalgic titles for players to enjoy.
