Cave of Flames
Cave of Flames is one of the many levels in Wario Land 3. It is located in the south part of the Music Box World. The player can gain access to it after getting the third music box in Sea Turtle Rocks. This is one of the three levels that takes place in a mountain.
As its name implies, this level is a dark cave situated in a mountain which is not volcanic. It contains a bomb, a series of flame blocks and a strange teleportation door which if Wario enters with an enemy in his hands, the enemy will disappear.
This is one of the three levels that have an iron wall. Wario needs the Rust Spray from Castle of Illusions to destroy it and access new areas.
