Diamonds appear in both versions of ''[[Wario's Woods]]'' whenever [[Toad]] takes out four or more enemies with a single [[bomb]]. They appear in all the same colors that bombs do, and can be similarly picked up and placed down to eliminate enemies of the same color. When this occurs, however, not only does the player get a sizable [[point]] bonus, but every other enemy of that color, regardless of position, is also eliminated. | |||
