Hidden Treasure:
The hidden treasure of this level is located in the very first area, although it is easy to be overlooked. First the player has to break trough a passage to an underground chamber via Ground Pound. He then should face left and climb the platforms. At the top he will eventually encounter a Zombie. The player has to jump in the gap to the Zombies left. There he will find the door leading to the treasure.

Boss Battle: Giant Snake
Wario finds the giant snake curled up and asleep. An attack however causes it to wake up and the battle begins. The snake attacks with biting which, when successful, turns Wario into an egg and sends him out of the battlefield. The player then has to start the battle over so he should try to avoid getting bitten. The snake can be hurt by jumps on its head. After receiving some direct hits it will turn red and become much faster. After a few more hits the snake collapses and is defeated.

Wario has an unnamed condition that is exclusively featured in this battle. However, it is not of much use. A successful attack of the giant snake will result in the enemy swallowing Wario whole. Wario will then be turned into an egg and released again. The egg will bounce up to the ceiling where it shatters and reveal Wario once again.

Secret Exit
The player can find a secret exit in this stage. From the door to the room where Wario ends up after losing the boss battle, look right. Wario can smash through the wall by jumping up while ramming. The secret passage will lead to a Goal Door. If the player enters this door, the boss battle of this chapter will be skipped.
