Item Shop (Wario Land 4)
- This article is about the item shop from Wario Land 4. For the item shops from other games, see Item Shop.
The Item Shop in the Game Boy Advance game Wario Land 4 is a place where Wario can spend his Frog Medals earned in the Mini-Game Shop in exchange for items to assist him in defeating a boss by doing pre-damage at the battle's start. The Item Shopkeeper is actually Princess Shokora/Black Cat. The more effective the item has on damaging a boss, the more Frog Medals it is likely to cost. The price of the items also varies on the game mode. For example, an item in hard mode would be more expensive than the same item in normal mode. The Smile is the only item in the shop that is free. This is a joke item, as it simply makes the Item Shopkeeper smile and plays a sound effect.
