The '''Bank of the Wild River''' is a location found in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'' of the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'' series]]. It serves as the fourth of six levels that can be found on the north side of the [[Music Box World]]. [[Wario]] can come here after he found the second Music Box. The level gets unlocked simultaneously with another one: [[The Tidal Coast]]. | The '''Bank of the Wild River''' is a location found in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'' of the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'' series]].

The level-design itself revolves mostly around the aforementioned river and its surroundings. The starting point of the level lies in the riverbed and the main area is set atop of overgrown black rocks. The water of the river is in steady movement, resulting in strong currents that sweep Wario away if he falls into the water. Some of the rocks are hollow and have rooms hidden in them. A damp crystal cave filled with [[Kobat]]s lies near the river, accessible through a ledge next to the starting point. Further up the stream lies an area full of vines which eventually lead to another cave.

The | The Anger Halberd is hidden inside the [[Treasure Chest|Grey Treasure Chest]] which is located right at the start of the level. However, the [[Key|Grey Key]] needed to open the chest can only be found up the river. Wario has to travel upstreams on foot, collect the key, and return to the start, riding the currents and evading the sea urchins. | ||

Numerous bolts then rain from the sky onto the land. One of the bolts hits the river on that side, tearing the ground apart and revealing [[The Steep Canyon]]. | ||

The Red Treasure Chest, which contains the Magnifying Glass, is hidden inside one of the hollow rocks that are scattered across the riverbed. The respective key is hidden in a similar fashion. Wario needs the powered up [[Dash Attack]] to progress, which he gains by eating the [[Garlic]] from the [[Tower of Revival]]. With increased strength he is able to smash through to the holes that lead into the hollow rocks and find the treasure. | The Red Treasure Chest, which contains the Treasure Magnifying Glass, is hidden inside one of the hollow rocks that are scattered across the riverbed.

The Magnifying Glass gives the player the ability to check which treasuries from which levels they have already collected, without having to enter said level. This can be achieved by pressing the [[Game Boy Color|B Button]] while idling over a level on the world map. | The Treasure Magnifying Glass gives the player the ability to check which treasuries from which levels they have already collected, without having to enter said level.

Wario has to make use of this so he can overcome the obstacles in that cave, find the Blue Key, and get the treasure from the Blue Treasure Chest. | ||
