The Colossal Hole is an underground level inhabited by Thwomp-like enemies who turns Wario into [[Flat Wario]] if they manage to crush him. In this case, Wario must simply get caught by a blue UFO to return to normal. In the bottom of the level, there are [[Jellybob (Wario Land 3)|Jellybob]]s that turn Wario into [[Puffy Wario]], allowing him to return to the top. A golf minigame and minigame block are found here as well. There is an area outside the hole, reachable via [[owl]]. It has a [[Sun (Wario Land 3)|sun]]/[[Mr. Moon]], [[Brrr Bear]]s and a [[Spear-bot]].

The only difference is the owls who sleeps during the day, allowing Wario to use them. At night, those owls are flying in the air and it is impossible for Wario to catch them(unless if he uses the high jump.) This is also one of many levels that has bombs in it; when Wario blows them up with The Detonator found in [[Beneath the Waves]], new areas become accessible. One such area is full of Fire Snakes; they are not summoned by the Flute, though.

E4 The Colossal Hole

The Colossal Hole is a level located in the east part of the Music Box World which appeared in Wario Land 3. It is only unlocked, along with The West Crater, after Wario uses the three Conch Artifacts to make the volcano erupt.

The Colossal Hole is an underground level inhabited by Omodon enemies who turns Wario into Flat Wario if they manage to crush him. In this case, Wario must simply get caught by a blue Omodonmeka to return to normal. In the bottom of the level, there are Jellybobs that turn Wario into Puffy Wario, allowing him to return to the top. A golf minigame and minigame block are found here as well. There is an area outside the hole, reachable via owl. It has a sun/Mr. Moon, Brrr Bears and a Spear-bot.

Like all the levels in the eastern part, this level is only visitable at night time. However, after Wario restores the Sun Medallion, he can visit it anytime. The only difference is the owls who sleep during the day, allowing Wario to use them. At night, those owls are flying in the air and it is impossible for Wario to catch them unless he has the High Jump Boots. This is also one of many levels that has bombs in it; when Wario blows them up with the Explosive Plunger Box found in Beneath the Waves, new areas become accessible. One such area is full of snakes, though they are not summoned by the Flute.

The Air-Pump in the Red Chest requires the Garlic treasure from the Tower of Revival. Wario must play a game of golf, then go down the ladder at the far left of the mini-game door. Then, he must avoid the Omodonmeka, break the solid blocks, and enter the door at the far right.

There, Wario must take the Spearhead and break the floor to reach the Red Key. After doing that, he must return to the area with the Omodonmeka and use his puffy form to avoid the spikes and head up. He then has to enter the door at the upper left, which was previously blocked off by a mini-game block. From there, he can break the solid blocks and open the chest.

The Air-Pump makes the ice blocks rise in The Pool of Rain and Bank of the Wild River.

Green Chest: High Jump Boots

The High Jump Boots[1] power-up in the Green Chest requires this level to be visited in daytime, which is only possible after restoring the Sun Medallion and clearing the darkness.
