'''Beneath the Waves''' is a location found in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'' of the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'' series]]. It serves as the fifth of six levels found on the west side of the [[music box (world)|music box world]]. The level is located deep under the western sea. [[Wario]] can reach this level once he finds the Red Music Box that is hidden away in [[The Stagnant Swamp]]. The [[Music Box|music box]] will form a whirlpool on the surface which serves as the entrance of the level.
'''Beneath the Waves''' is a location found in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'' of the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'' series]]. The level is located deep under the western sea. [[Wario]] can reach this level once he finds the Red Music Box in [[The Stagnant Swamp]]'s Green Chest, causing a whirlpool on the surface to form.


The level itself is set mostly underwater. Wario begins his exploration of this level in the main area which also serves as a hub to connect all the different areas of the level. The area around the hub is populated by sea creatures like [[Haridama]] and [[Octohōn]], and the center of the area is dominated by strong water currents. The currents surround a single door that leads to a dry cave filled with zip lines. All four [[treasure chest]]s of the level can be found in this area, so Wario's only reason to travel to other places in the level is to retrieve the necessary [[key]]s. There are also four other cave areas that can be reached from the hub area. One is another dry cave located above the surface on a ledge, with a [[Spearhead (enemy)|Spearhead]] and a [[Fire Robota]]. Another dry cave filled with enemies and breakable blocks is hidden behind a heavy block on the seabed. A system of tunnels dominated by harsh currents is located below the hub area, and a submerged cave filled with cracks that produce air bubbles can be found behind a grate in the west wall.
The level is set mostly underwater. In the middle of the level, there is a current moving in a loop that resembles a whirlpool, and within the middle, there is a cave in which every chest is accessible from here. Besides the main area, the bottom area also contains a series of currents, and the left area contains a current moving towards the right. The area to the right does not contain any currents, where it is instead a cave that is mostly land.

The Explosive Plunger Box<ref>Brady, Matthew K., Nathan Beittenmiller, Debra McBride, and David Cassady. ''Game Boy Game Secrets, 2001 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 95.</ref> is hidden away inside the Gray Chest found in the cave with the many zip lines. It is located in the lower-right area of the cave and can be reached by utilizing one of the zip lines to smash through two obstacles. The Gray Key that opens the chest can be found in the cave with the Spearhead and the Fire Robota. Wario needs the High Jump Boots from [[The Colossal Hole]] in order to climb the ledge in front of the entrance, and then to use the Spearhead as a stepping stone to reach the key in the upper area of the cave.
The Explosive Plunger Box<ref>Brady, Matthew K., Nathan Beittenmiller, Debra McBride, and David Cassady. ''Game Boy Game Secrets, 2001 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 95.</ref> is inside the Gray Chest.


The Explosive Plunger Box is a device that can light bomb fuses from a distance. It looks like a blue box with black and yellow edges and a bomb symbol on it. After Wario pushes the lever on top of it. The bomb symbol flashes red and explosions occur in [[The Stagnant Swamp]], [[Cave of Flames]], and The Colossal Hole, making new areas accessible in the process.
The [[key|Gray Key]] is within the cave above the surface to the right. Within this cave, there are multiple columns with thin platforms, which requires using the [[Spearhead (enemy)|Spearhead]] to bring to the right to bounce off it. Above the platforms, there is a [[Fire Robota]]. The Gray Key is above the sixth column of thin platforms.
 
The Gray Chest is located in cave in the middle of the current moving in a loop. In order to get there without the Prince Frog's Glove, Wario must go to the current from the right, where there is a current moving to the left, allowing him to move downwards to the entrance. Within the cave, in addition to multiple ziplines, there are two Spearhead, a [[Beam Robota]], and a [[Para-Goom]]. In order to get to the Gray Chest, Wario must take the second zipline handle that travels down and right, which causes him to roll through the breakable blocks. From there, the Gray Chest is down the ladder and to the left.
 
The Explosive Plunger Box detonates the bombs, where the bomb symbol flashes red and explosions occur, causing new areas found in [[The Stagnant Swamp]], [[Cave of Flames]], and The Colossal Hole to be accessible.

The {{conjectural|Crayon}} is located in the Red Chest in the upper right area of the cave with the zip lines, guarded by two [[Teruteru]]. The chest can be reached right away, but Wario needs Prince Frog's Glove from [[Out of the Woods]] in order to reach the key that unlocks it. The Red Key is located in the tunnels under the hub area. To get there, Wario needs to swim against the water currents. The key is hidden in a cave with many [[Enemy Block]]s and a [[Hammer-bot]].

The {{conjectural|Red Chemical}} housed in the Green Chest is stored behind a door in the middle of the room with the zip lines. Wario can reach the door by dropping down from above with good timing. The chest itself is guarded by a single [[Silky]]. Wario should take the Silky to the highest level of ground, then become Ball o' String Wario to break the block. The chest is found below, though the key that unlocks it is not available from the beginning. It is hidden away behind a grate which Wario cannot destroy himself. The player needs to locate the Sapling of Growth in [[A Town in Chaos]] first, to make the Octohōn in the level grow. With their increased strength they will smash all the grates in the hub area. From there Wario can venture into the cave filled with air bubbles. At the end of the cave Wario can find the Green Key.
The {{conjectural|Red Chemical}} is inside the Green Chest, which requires the Sapling of Growth from [[A Town in Chaos]]' Blue Chest to obtain.


The Red Chemical from this level and the Blue Chemical found in [[The Steep Canyon]] are two fluids contained in test glasses. When brought together they react and form an extremely potent acid. With this acid Wario can cause the heavy blocks in [[The Vast Plain]] and this level to move out of the way by disintegrating the floor beneath them. This causes them to sink into the ground.
The Green Key is located in the area to the left, after the [[Octohōn]] breaks the grate that originally blocked the way. Within this area, there is a current at the top of the area, while the area at the bottom doesn't have them. The Green Key is towards the left at the bottom, where there are bubbles and [[Haridama]] to avoid in order to reach the key.


The Green Chest is within the cave in the main area surrounded by a loop of currents. Within this cave, the room with the Green Chest is in the middle. To reach it, Wario must go to the top row of ziplines and drop towards it, past the first set of [[Spike (Wario Land series)|spike]]s. Within this room, there is a [[Silky]]. Wario must bring the Silky to the top, to allow it to trigger [[Ball o' String Wario]] to break part of the pillar that is treated as a [[Yarn Block]]. After reverting, Wario must climb down a series of ladders to reach the Green Chest.
The Red Chemical and the Blue Chemical in [[The Steep Canyon]]'s Blue Chest are required to soften the ground below 5-ton blocks in this level and [[The Vast Plain]] so that they sink, allowing access to areas previously blocked by them.

The {{conjectural|Clubs Crest}} is locked up inside the Blue Chest which itself is hidden in the upper-left area of the cave with the zip lines. Wario needs to dodge the hovering [[Spike (Wario Land series)|spike]]s while riding the zip lines to the chest, and he also needs to utilize his fat form in order to reach it. The key to the chest is hidden in a cave near the bottom of the hub area, behind a heavy block. Wario first needs to find the Blue and Red Chemicals from this level and The Steep Canyon before he can enter the cave. Inside there are several breakable blocks, [[Para-Goom]]s, and [[Brrr Bear]]s. The key is located at the end of the tunnel.

This article is about a level in Wario Land 3. For information about a Special Collection on the Super Mario Maker Bookmark website, see Super Mario Maker § Course Selects: Beneath the Waves.
Beneath the Waves
W5 Beneath the Waves

Beneath the Waves is a location found in Wario Land 3 of the Wario Land series. The level is located deep under the western sea. Wario can reach this level once he finds the Red Music Box in The Stagnant Swamp's Green Chest, causing a whirlpool on the surface to form.

The level is set mostly underwater. In the middle of the level, there is a current moving in a loop that resembles a whirlpool, and within the middle, there is a cave in which every chest is accessible from here. Besides the main area, the bottom area also contains a series of currents, and the left area contains a current moving towards the right. The area to the right does not contain any currents, where it is instead a cave that is mostly land.

Treasures

Gray Chest: Explosive Plunger Box

Beneath the Waves
Close-up of the Explosive Plunger Box

The Explosive Plunger Box[1] is inside the Gray Chest.

The Gray Key is within the cave above the surface to the right. Within this cave, there are multiple columns with thin platforms, which requires using the Spearhead to bring to the right to bounce off it. Above the platforms, there is a Fire Robota. The Gray Key is above the sixth column of thin platforms.

The Gray Chest is located in cave in the middle of the current moving in a loop. In order to get there without the Prince Frog's Glove, Wario must go to the current from the right, where there is a current moving to the left, allowing him to move downwards to the entrance. Within the cave, in addition to multiple ziplines, there are two Spearhead, a Beam Robota, and a Para-Goom. In order to get to the Gray Chest, Wario must take the second zipline handle that travels down and right, which causes him to roll through the breakable blocks. From there, the Gray Chest is down the ladder and to the left.

The Explosive Plunger Box detonates the bombs, where the bomb symbol flashes red and explosions occur, causing new areas found in The Stagnant Swamp, Cave of Flames, and The Colossal Hole to be accessible.

Red Chest: Crayon (red)

Beneath the Waves
The door, colored by the red crayon

The red Crayon is inside the Red Chest, which requires the Prince Frog's Glove from Out of the Woods' Green Chest to obtain.

The Red Key is located in the bottom area, which contains a series of currents. In order to reach the cave that contains the Red Key, Wario must go in the middle column, and then go to the left near the bottom, followed by going up, left, and then down. Within this cave, there is a Red Key and a Hammer-bot blocked off by a column of Enemy Blocks.

The Red Chest is within the cave in the main area surrounded by a loop of currents. With the Prince Frog's Glove, Wario doesn't need to ride the current to reach it. Within the cave, the room with the Red Chest is at the top-right, which can be reached by riding a series of zipline handles to reach there. Within this room, there are two Teruteru and one column of breakable blocks at the top before the Red Chest.

Once the crayon has been collected, it flies to a hill on the north side of the world. A building resembling a tower can be found there, complete with a door and a sign that reads "GAME". The scene is initially monochrome, but gains another color for each crayon Wario manages to find. There are seven crayons in total hidden throughout the game, and once Wario finds all of them, he will be able to play the Golf Minigame there. The red crayon colors the door that serves as the building's entrance.

Green Chest: Red Chemical

Beneath the Waves
The two chemicals move the heavy blocks

The Red Chemical is inside the Green Chest, which requires the Sapling of Growth from A Town in Chaos' Blue Chest to obtain.

The Green Key is located in the area to the left, after the Octohōn breaks the grate that originally blocked the way. Within this area, there is a current at the top of the area, while the area at the bottom doesn't have them. The Green Key is towards the left at the bottom, where there are bubbles and Haridama to avoid in order to reach the key.

The Green Chest is within the cave in the main area surrounded by a loop of currents. Within this cave, the room with the Green Chest is in the middle. To reach it, Wario must go to the top row of ziplines and drop towards it, past the first set of spikes. Within this room, there is a Silky. Wario must bring the Silky to the top, to allow it to trigger Ball o' String Wario to break part of the pillar that is treated as a Yarn Block. After reverting, Wario must climb down a series of ladders to reach the Green Chest.

The Red Chemical and the Blue Chemical in The Steep Canyon's Blue Chest are required to soften the ground below 5-ton blocks in this level and The Vast Plain so that they sink, allowing access to areas previously blocked by them.

Blue Chest: Clubs Crest

Beneath the Waves
Wario finding the Clubs Crest

The Clubs Crest is inside the Blue Chest, which requires both the Red Chemical from this level's Red Chest and the Blue Chemical in The Steep Canyon's Blue Chest to obtain.

The Blue Key is located in a cave past the 5-ton block on the right. Within this cave, there are Hebarii, Para-Gooms, and Brrr Bears, as well as many breakable blocks. The Blue Key itself is at the top-left, which can be reached by going right, then up the ladder, and then to the left.

The Blue Chest is within the cave in the main area surrounded by a loop of currents. Within this cave, the room with the Blue Chest is at the top-left corner. To reach it, Wario must go to the top row of ziplines and travel to the left, while avoiding the spikes along the way. Within this room, there is a Doughnuteer in the ladder above. To access the chest, the Doughnuteer must be thrown at the Enemy Block to break it, and then use its doughnut to trigger Fat Wario to break the nearby doughnut blocks, so that Wario can access the chest after the reaction wears off.

The Clubs Crest does not affect the world in any way.
