A blue box,[1] also known as a pinball tulip,[2] is an object in Wario Land 4. Blue boxes are found only in the level Pinball Zone across six different rooms, with four in each room. They are slots that continuously open and close.

Wario must find each Chomp ball within the room and time its placement within a blue box. This may involve throwing the ball or performing a Smash Attack to roll it into the box. Doing so successfully causes the blue box to disappear, dropping a Bronze Coin worth 50 points and making the number on the pinball digital counter drop by one.

Once all four blue boxes are cleared in a room, the digital counter reads zero, and approaching it causes it to disappear. This then allows the player to access the next room in the level.
