| The '''Merfles''' are a species that appear in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]''. They are the residents of the [[Shake Dimension]], living under the rule of [[Queen Merelda]]. However, when the [[Shake King]] took over the Shake Dimension, he imprisoned all but one of the Merfles inside a cage called a [[Merfle Barrel]]. [[Merfle (character)|The escaped Merfle]] begs [[Wario]] to help his people. Though Wario disagrees at first, the Merfle tells him that there is a [[Bottomless Coin Sack|great treasure]] that he can have if he frees them from the reign of the Shake King. Wario agrees and his adventure begins.

| The Merfles are the creatures that Wario has to rescue in each level of the game. They are usually found near the end of the level in a tough cage made by the [[Shake King]] himself. To free the Merfles, Wario must grab the cage and shake it in order for it to collapse, thus freeing them. In most cases, they also act as guides after that to help Wario race back to the said level's entrance before the timer hits zero. | | The '''Merfles''' are a species that first appeared in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'' for the Nintendo Wii.
