[[File:Ruby Passage.png|frame|left|The Ruby Passage]]

The '''Ruby Passage''' is the third of six passages in the [[Game Boy Advance]] game ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. It is set in the [[Golden Pyramid]], a large, labyrinth of a pyramid that Wario must make his way through to defeat the [[Golden Diva]] and rescue [[Princess Shokora]]. In the Ruby Passage, there are four stages that each contain a mechanical and machinery theme, featuring robot-like [[:Category:Wario Land 4 enemies|enemies]], such as [[Togerobo]]. The boss of the passage is known as [[Cuckoo Condor]], a ghost-like bird creature who takes the appearance of a large cuckoo clock. The [[jewel piece]]s in this passage appear as a Ruby, and the [[CD]]s are a red color. Other passages include the [[Entry Passage]], [[Emerald Passage]], [[Topaz Passage]], [[Sapphire Passage]] and the [[Golden Pyramid]].

|The Curious Factory is a level full of machinery; such as conveyor belts, [[piston]]s and [[Decompressor]]s (which will transform Wario into [[Flat Wario]] and back again). Flat Wario can be used to enter tiny places. [[Togerobo]] make their unique appearance in this level, being a strange creature that has a spiked ball for a head. [[Kaentsubo]]s also make their first appearance here. Hitting the [[Switch (Wario Land 4)|switch]] will open up the underground area of this level, which is much more challenging than the overworld, because of the abundance of rotating platforms that Wario will have to cross.

|The Toxic Landfill is a filthy, polluted level that is mainly made up of toxic water and garbage that take the shape of [[block]]s, which Wario must [[#Wario's Moves|ram]] to destroy and make a path. [[Bow Balloon]]s and [[Ringosukī]] are the main enemies that appear in this level. The arrows of the Bow Balloon will transform Wario into [[Puffy Wario]], and the [[Apple]]s of the [[Ringosukī]] will transform him into [[Fat Wario]]. Both [[Wario Land 4#Wario's Reactions|transformations]] are crucial for progressing in the level. After hitting the [[Switch (Wario Land 4)|switch]], Wario must make his way through the underground part of the level to reach the [[vortex]].

|align="center" |[[File:WL4 40 Below Fridge Level Icon.png]]

|The level 40 Below Fridge, as the name suggests, takes place in a very cold fridge. The level is mainly made up of ice. The snow creature [[Yeti]] are in abundance in this level. They have the ability to transform Wario into [[Frozen Wario]] by sneezing on him. Falling Snow from the ceiling transforms him into Snowman Wario if they land on him. In this form, if Wario walks on a 45° platform, he will start rolling into a snowball and he will be able to break [[Snowman Block]]s.  

|align="center" |[[File:WL4 Pinball Zone Level Icon.png]]

|The Pinball Zone is a funky, colorful and noisy level with many things going on at once. It takes place inside a pinball machine, where the main focus is throwing [[pinball (object)|pinball]]s into slots to break the [[Pinball Block]], which will allow access to the next room. This is the only level to feature the [[Spike Cannon]]s, which is an undefeatable [[:Category:Wario Land 4 enemies|enemy]] that shoots spikes at Wario. The level's background displays a new theme in every room. The themes vary from forests, robots, dragons, etc.

|align="center" |[[File:WL4 Cuckoo Condor Level Icon.png]]

|The boss of the Ruby Passage is Cuckoo Condor. He is what appears to be a giant cuckoo clock. He can grab Wario and shoot gears and electricity at him. After taking a fair amount of damage, the cuckoo clock falls apart, revealing a giant bird, presumably a condor, underneath. In this form, Cuckoo Condor can lay [[Egg (Wario Land 4)|egg]]s that hatch into self-destructing chicks to damage Wario. Wario can counter this attack by catching and [[Wario Land 4#Wario's moves|throwing]] the eggs at the Condor's head. Defeating Cuckoo Condor restores the [[legendary treasure|Earrings]] to the [[Golden Pyramid]].

|A distorted version of the [[Karaoke (Medamayaki)|Karaoke]] (aka [[Palm Tree Paradise]]'s theme) consists of this whole CD. The female vocals can be heard, as with the normal Karaoke, but the voice is stop-started on rapid intervals, and even played backwards in places.

|align="center" |[[File:Sound Room-Soft Shell.png]]

|This CD is a remix of the [[pink area]] theme. Extra sound effects fill the gaps in the theme, such as animal sounds from [[The Wario Hop]], a creature that sounds like [[Pikachu]], and a train.
