Wario Land 4

Wario Land 4 sends Wario into a cursed pyramid chasing a treasure-filled princess statue, structured as a hub-and-spoke of themed levels branching off a central golden pyramid room rather than a straight line of stages. Every level ends the same distinctive way: trigger the exit, then sprint back through the entire stage in reverse as a timer counts down and the screen shifts to a frantic escape sequence.

Wario's transformations — turned into a flat sheet by a steamroller, set on fire, frozen solid, or puffed up like a balloon — aren't just gags, they're the core puzzle mechanic for reaching hidden treasure rooms and CD collectibles. The game also rates your performance per level with a medal system, giving completionists a reason to replay stages for a better time and a fuller vault.
