When [[Wario]] jumps on a switch, it will open up to reveal a ticking time bomb, and any solid [[Kaeru Block]]s will turn transparent and vice-versa. Wario then yells, "Hurry up!" (or occasionally "No-no-no... Hurry up!" or "H-H-Hurry up!"), the game's theme becomes more intense, and the player is given a certain amount of time to escape the level by returning to the [[vortex]] at the beginning of the stage. If Wario does not escape before the timer runs out, his [[Coin (Wario Land 4)|coin]]s and score will quickly deplete. If the score reaches zero, Wario will be forced out of the level and back to the main map. | ||

In [[Hotel Horror]], there are two doors which have a frog sign on it. These doors will only open when the switch is hit. | ||
The switch made a cameo appearance in ''[[Densetsu no Stafy 3]]'', where [[Starfy|Stafy]] and [[Wario]] must trek through [[starfywiki:Undersea Ruins|Kaitei Iseki]]. A switch is found in the middle of the level, opening up a new area. | |||
