Crescent Moon Village

Crescent Moon Village is the first level of the Sapphire Passage in the Game Boy Advance game Wario Land 4. It is a small village set in the middle of the night with a large, crescent in the background and lots of lamp posts. It includes zombie and ghostly enemies, such as Yūrei, who steals the coins that either Wario or defeated enemies drop. Yūrei also steals Keyzer, but the player retrieve it by touching Yūrei, but Yūrei will then chase after the player again so it may get quite time-consuming. Wario can turn into two transformations here, Zombie Wario, by getting bombarded by a Skeleton Bird in order to fall through the floor, and Vampire Bat Wario, touching a Minicula) to fly to higher places. Both are needed to complete the level. This level's CD is called Yesterday's Words and once collected, it can be played in the Sound Room.

Trivia

 * This level's music is briefly played in the ending cutscene in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, during the section when Mona gets annoyed with Wario and chases him. Sound effects from Wario Land 4 are also played during this time.
 * According to one of the official Japanese guides for Wario Land 4, the paintings found in the level are of a real life person, Isamu Takeshita, a Japanese naval admiral during the Russo-Japanese War. The guide describes that he fought off a band of pirates that invaded the village, who were plotting to expand their buccaneering empire and plunder the village.  Nearly a century later, the restless spirits of the pirates began to manifest as the enemies found in the level, desperately "guarding" the treasure they stole hundreds of years ago.
