Guard (boss)

Guards are mini-boss enemies from the Virtual Boy game Virtual Boy Wario Land, they are small robots armed with both projectile and melee weapons and, as their name implies, they guard the Boss Door of every boss stage. Guards attack Wario in different ways but their main attack is by trying to jump on him with their spiked head. After it lands, it leaves its weak spot exposed, and Wario can jump on it, once he does this twice, the guard is defeated and Wario can access the boss.

Guard Types

All four guards have different attacks that make them harder to defeat than the previous one. The list of guards is here: Stage Four Guard: Attacks by trying to jump on Wario.

Stage Eight Guard: Attacks by shooting rockets, if Wario is ducking, it will change its height and fire. After three shots, it jumps.

Stage Twelve Guard: Attacks by shooting lightning bolts, it will change its height according to Wario's position. After three shots, it jumps.

Stage Fourteen Guard: Attacks by shooting a homing missile, once the missile is destroyed by either hitting something or with the flames from either dragon form, the guard jumps. In terms of other Guard arenas, this one is smaller.

Trivia

• Once a guard is defeated, it is gone forever unless the player starts a new file.
