Golden Diva

The Golden Diva is the final boss in the Game Boy Advance video game Wario Land 4. Long ago she attacked the kingdom Princess Shokora ruled, stealing treasures and cursing Princess Shokora into a cat like form. The Golden Diva stays at the center of an ancient pyramid at the end of the Golden Passage, guarding her hoard of treasure. Wario eventually puts an end to her. Her appearance is that of Elizabethan robes, a fan, and multiple masks covering her real, grotesque face, each of which fall off every time she takes damage. She also floats around like a ghost.

Before the battle starts, Princess Shokora (who had been transformed into a cat) tries to attack the Golden Diva. However, Shokora's minor tackle is not enough to defeat the tyrant. The princess is abducted by the Diva's magic. When the true battle is initiated, the Diva splits her head into four copies. Three of these copies are transparent, while the other attacks Wario. When touched by a head, Wario is picked up, twirled about, and thrown at the ground, an attack which causes precious time to be wasted. Wario must jump on top of the head, making it turn blue and angry. Then Wario must pick up the head and throw it at the Diva's fan.

Once the fan is gone, she has four other attacks. Her first is making a small green bug-like creature appear from her crown. This creature has spikes all around it and floats back and forth towards the ground. Wario must jump on top of the creature to stun it and throw it at the Diva's mask.

In her second attack, she creates a medium-sized blue ball with Aerodent's image on it. Wario must Side-Tackle this ball. It will ricochet off walls and explode when it hits the third wall or the Diva's face. If it does hit her face, it will damage her.

Her third attack is much like Cuckoo Condor's second form's attack. The Diva makes eggs magically appear and drop on the ground. When they hit the ground, they hatch into black chicks that home in on Wario and explode (significantly faster than chicks hatched from Cuckoo Condor). To damage the Golden Diva when she attacks in this way, Wario must catch the eggs before they fall and throw them at the evil ruler's head.

The Golden Diva's fourth and final attack is a little more complex. She makes a hammer with spikes and an eye on it appear and fall to the ground. The spikes and eye soon disappear, and Wario must pick it up and throw it in the air so he can hit himself in the head with it. This will make him Bouncy Wario, and he must spring up to hit the mask to damage it.

After hitting her enough times, her masks will disappear and reveal her true face. In this form, her arms are visible. She will try to attack Wario by hitting the ground and revealing spikes underneath it. Wario can damage the Diva by side tackling and jumping at her head. After two attacks, she gets angrier and even more grotesque. after the third hit in this form, her body disappears and leaves just her lips. Once her lips are attacked, she is defeated and Princess Shokora and the treasure are saved.
