About the Game
Wario Land 4 - Jungle Rumble is a ROM hack of Wario Land 4 for the Game Boy Advance. The project takes Wario into a brand-new jungle-themed adventure with original stages, custom level layouts, and redesigned exploration while preserving the core mechanics that made the original game popular. Instead of changing how Wario controls, the hack focuses on delivering new content within the familiar gameplay system.
