Switch (Wario Land 4)

A switch is an object which makes its first and main appearance in Wario Land 4.
==Description==
A switch is a statue of a dark blue frog, although it is depicted light green in its artwork.
In the Golden Pyramid hub area, there is a switch for each level that, when jumped onto, creates a vortex that teleports Wario into its corresponding level. Another switch is within the level itself, and when Wario jumps onto it, a ticking time bomb is revealed, causing a large countdown timer to appear in the upper-center of the HUD and another vortex to appear at the start of the level. Right as a switch's time bomb is activated, Wario can be heard yelling "Hurry up!" (or sometimes either "No-no-no.. Hurry up!" or "H-H-Hurry up!"), and an intensified variation of the level's background theme plays. Wario has to quickly return to the start of the level and enter the vortex to escape before the timer runs out. While a switch's effects are active, any solid Kaeru Block becomes transparent and vice versa. A switch's time limit varies between each level, being lower in Hard difficulty and even lower in S-Hard difficulty.
If Wario does not escape before the countdown timer runs out, his Coins and score drop rapidly. If the score falls down to zero, Wario is forced out of the level and back into the hub passage.
==In Wario Land 4==
A switch can be found in every level. Fiery Cavern's switch also has the effect of turning the level into ice. In Hotel Horror, there are two doors with a frog sign on it, and both of them only open when the switch is hit. Unlike the other levels, the Golden Passage's switch can always be found at the start.
