When [[ | A '''[[switch]]''',<ref>''Wario Land 4'' American instruction booklet, page 15.</ref> also referred to as a '''Timer'''<ref>''Nintendo Power Advance'' V.3, page 56.</ref> or '''Portal Switch''',<ref>''Nintendo Official Magazine'' (UK) Issue 114, page 59.</ref> is an object that appears at the end of every [[level]] in ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. When Wario [[jump]]s on a switch, it opens to reveal a ticking time bomb, and any solid [[Kaeru Block]]s turn transparent and vice-versa. [[Wario]] then yells, ''"Hurry up!"'' (or occasionally ''"No-no-no... Hurry up!"'' or ''"H-H-Hurry up!"''), the game's theme becomes more intense, and the player is given a certain amount of time to escape the level by returning to the [[vortex]] at the beginning of the stage. If Wario does not escape before the timer runs out, his [[Coin (Wario Land 4)|coin]]s and score will quickly deplete. If the score reaches zero, Wario will be forced out of the level and back to the main map. | ||

In [[Hotel Horror]], there are two doors that have a frog sign on them. Those doors open only when the switch is hit. | ||
The switch made a cameo appearance in ''[[Densetsu no Stafy 3]]'', where [[Starfy|Stafy]] and Wario must trek through [[starfywiki:Undersea Ruins|Kaitei Iseki]]. A switch is found in the middle of the level, opening a new area. | |||
