Reception
The game received positive reviews. GamePro stated: "Boasting fantastic graphics and awesome transparency effects for water and fog, Wario Land 4 pushes the GBA to its visual limits".

GameSpot commented: "The gameplay is tight and varied, the graphics are detailed and bright, and the sound is second to none".
