Pinball Block
The Pinball Block is an object in the Game Boy Advance game Wario Land 4. It only appears in the level Pinball Zone. It is a block that guards the door to the next room. Ithas a digital face that counts down how many Pinball Slots remain in the room. Wario must throw a Pinball in each of the four Pinball Slots. They have a mouth which opens and closes on regular intervals, determining whether or not the Pinball will enter the slot. If a Pinball is correctly placed in a Pinball Slot, the slot will disappear and it will drop a 50 Coin. With every Pinball Slot filled, the digital number on the Pinball Block will decrease by one, beginning from four. When it reaches zero it will flash briefly and disappear, dropping a Coin (Wario Land 4|500 Coin]] and granting access to the door, which will lead to the next room in the Pinball Zone. There are a total of __ Pinball Blocks amongst __ individual rooms in the level. Template:BoxTop {{Blocks}} {{WL4}} Category:Wario Objects
Karaoke (Medamayaki)
The Karaoke (also known as Medamayaki or Sunny Side Up in English [1]) is an unlockable song in the Game Boy Advance game Wario Land 4. It can be played in the Sound Room, which is a place within the Golden Pyramid where Wario can play tracks off CDs as they are collected in the levels. However, the Karaoke is obtained in a different way; the player must collect 10,000 or more points in each of the eighteen levels in order to unlock it. The song itself is an extended version of the Palm Tree Paradise theme. It features a female singing a song in Japanese over a catchy tune. The lyrics appear at the bottom of the screen in Romanized Japanese (Romaji), with the letters flashing red as they are pronounced. The vocals can be toggled on or off (with the exception of the introductory "Hello there!" at the song's beginning) by pressing L or R, while still leaving the backing track and lyrics. Whenever this is done, the album's cover changes from a pale orange with a sleeping cat to a green cover with a singing cat. The speed and pitch of the song can also be toggled using the D-Pad. All this control over the music gives a complete Karaoke feel to the player. The music video show contains a mix of sixteen different Wariograms seen in the videos of other CDs. The Karaoke plays in a recurring loop, unlike other tracks in the Sound Room.

| Hello there! Ukurere mitaina tabiwo shiyo aruite iko tsukino kakerawo hiroinagara chizuno kawarini kyanbasu nijino shizukude (somemasho) hinodeni maniauyoni boyaketa tokeiwa oiteko umini tameiki tokashite inshini koewo kizamo teukiwo supuni ukabetara hyougarano kumonga warau | Hello there! Let's go on a ukulele-like trip let's go on foot whilst finding a fragment of the moon a canvas for a map with a drop of a rainbow (let's color it) so we're in time for the sunrise let's leave the dim clock behind let a sigh dissolve in the sea and carve a voice into a stone when the moon floats on the soup the leopard-print cloud smiles |
Interpretation
Two people are deeply in love with each other. They go for a walk in a fantasy place in the middle of the night, playing their favorite songs on a ukulele whilst taking inspiration from the moon. With only a canvas for a map, they paint their own colorful path. They reach the sea in time to watch the sunrise over the horizon. The long darkness of the night is quickly forgotten. They sigh in awe as they watch the beauty of the sunrise, and that moment will live in their hearts forever. The moon is still visible in the sky. A cloud is half in shadow, other half orange from the light of the rising sun, and it appears to be smiling at them.

Wario Land 4/Glitches
• Invisible object: Sometimes when Wario picks up an object (such as a rock or enemy), if it quickly gets knocked out of his hand, he may still appear to be holding something, even if nothing can be seen in his hand.
•Unused soundtrack: If the player uses an action replay or other game hacking device and avoids hitting the Frog Switch upon entering the level Golden Passage, the usual Frog Switch music will not play. Instead, a unique theme will replace it as the level's unused theme.
•No-ice glitch: If the player uses an action replay or other game hacking device and avoids hitting the Frog Switch in Fiery Cavern, the second half of the level won't be covered in ice.
