"The misguided Wario is back, and this time he's in search of riches," the game's synopsis teases. "Ignoring all warning signs, Wario decides to enter a cursed pyramid rumored to be filled with gold and jewels. Our anti-hero soon discovers that the curse is no laughing matter, and he'll be lucky to escape alive."

Players will navigate through 20 massive stages in this adventure, using the gold and treasure they collect to purchase bonus items at the end of each stage. Additionally, the game offers delightful mini-games for a well-deserved break.

Upon its release in 2001, Wario Land 4 was highly praised, earning a 9/10 from IGN. "There's a lot of variety in the game design and it's more challenging than the usual side-scrolling fare due to its focus on making players figure out how to get to certain locations in the level," the review noted.

Wario Land 4 marks the 24th Game Boy Advance title to be added to the Nintendo Switch Online library, joining other favorites like Mario Kart: Super Circuit, The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team.
