Lance

Yari are obstacles encountered in several levels of Wario Land II. They are composed of a blade attached to a metal pole with some wire wrapped around it. Yari rest in one place and thrust up and down in a set rhythm, producing an alarming sound while doing so. While the edged part of the Yari itself can hurt Wario and throw him backward, the pole is harmless and can be passed without taking damage. They usually are deployed in narrow places with not much room for evasion to ensure making it difficult for Wario to progress. Some Yari even have Conveyor Belts underneath them.
