Upon its release in 2001, Wario Land 4 received high praise, earning a 9/10 from IGN. The review highlighted the game's variety and challenging design, noting, "There's a lot of variety in the game design and it's more challenging than the usual side-scrolling fare due to its focus on making players figure out how to get to certain locations in the level."
