Sapphire Passage: Difference between revisions

The '''Sapphire Passage''' is one of the six passages in the [[Game Boy Advance]] game ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. It is set in the [[Golden Pyramid]], a large, labyrinth of a pyramid which [[Wario]] must make his way through to defeat the [[Golden Diva]] and rescue the [[Princess Shokora]]. This passage is horror-themed, with several ghost-like [[:Category:Wario Land 4 Enemies|enemies]] such as [[Skeleton Bird]], [[Men'ono]] and [[Yūrei]]. The boss of this passage is [[Catbat]], a ghostly combination of a cat and a bat. The [[Jewel Piece]]s in this passage are sapphires, and the [[CD]]s are blue. This is considered the most difficult main passage. Other passages include the [[Entry Passage]], [[Emerald Passage]], [[Ruby Passage]], [[Topaz Passage]] and the [[Golden Pyramid]].

|Crescent Moon Village takes place in a haunted, moonlit village. The first level of the Sapphire Passage introduces the many ghostly enemies that are native to the horror-themed levels, such as the [[Skeleton Bird]] and [[Men'ono]]. Most of the level takes a straight path, with many blocks and posts as obstacles. A notable enemy appearance in such areas is [[Yūrei]], who, similar to [[Hoggus]], appears in the level's background and cannot be touched. Unlike Hoggus, Yūrei does not harm Wario. Instead, he watches from afar as Wario makes his progress. Whenever Wario defeats an [[:Category:Wario Land 4 Enemies|enemy]] or breaks a block, [[Coin (Wario Land 4)|coins]] will be produced, which they will scatter across the ground. Yūrei's obsession is money, and he will dive and gather up as much money as he can if they are left unattended. Also, once Wario obtains the Keyzer, Yūrei will try and steal it. If he succeeds, Wario will have to chase him to retrieve it, thus wasting valuable time.
