At first, it takes the appearance of a large cuckoo clock. To attack, it can use a large claw to pick [[Wario]] up and bring him over to one of the large saw blades on the sides of the screen, which will inflict damage. Once grabbed, Wario can't escape its grasp until he takes the damage. It can also summon saw blades and electrical shocks to attack. Wario must [[Wario Land 4#Wario's Moves|ram]] the large claw that it uses to attack, causing it to swing up and damage the boss.

After taking enough damage, the clock falls away, revealing a large condor form underneath (though it does not really resemble real life [[wikipedia:Condor|condor]]s). In this state, Cuckoo Condor will lay [[egg]]s, which break upon contact with the ground. [[Hiyoko]]s will hatch immediately from these eggs, and attempt to run into into Wario, self-destructing on contact. Wario must catch the eggs as they fall, and then throw them at the small condor on Cuckoo Condor's head to continue to inflict damage. Hiyoko are very similar to the [[Black Duck]]s seen in the battle against the [[Golden Diva]]. After enough hits, Cuckoo Condor is defeated and Wario is rewarded with the creature's [[Legendary Treasure|Earrings]].

Cuckoo Condor is the third boss in the Game Boy Advance game Wario Land 4. It guards the Ruby Passage.

Cuckoo Condor lives up to both parts of its name. At first, the boss is concealed within a large weaponized cuckoo clock. The pendulum of the clock features a large claw that it uses to pick Wario up and bring him to the large saw blades bordering the arena to inflict damage. It is difficult to escape this grasp, and impossible unless Wario is seized near the center of the screen. Wario must ram the large claw that it uses to attack, causing it to swing up and damage the boss.

As the boss takes damage in this form, it will start using its buzz and electrical saws to attack Wario. After taking enough damage, the clock is destroyed, revealing the condor's true form underneath. The small spinning bird on top of the clock remains as a headpiece for the exposed Condor.

In this state, Cuckoo Condor will lay eggs, which hatch chicks upon touching the ground. To damage the Cuckoo Condor, Wario must pick up these eggs before they hit the ground, then power throw the egg onto its head. As damage is dealt over time, the Cuckoo Condor begins to lay eggs at a significantly faster rate (and moving increasingly faster), forcing Wario to time his throws properly to defeat the boss.

After enough hits, Cuckoo Condor is defeated and Wario is rewarded with the creature's Earrings.

The time given to defeat the boss varies on the game mode.

  • Normal Mode game sprite: the time given is 4:00.
  • Hard Mode game sprite: the time given is 3:00.
  • S-Hard Mode game sprite (unlockable): the time given is 2:00.
