Wario is about to find himself in his biggest adventure yet. In his grand fortress, Wario picks up the morning edition and reads about the discovery of a legendary Pyramid of Gold and the curse placed upon its treasures. Wide-eyed at the thought of acquiring the lost treasure, Wario pays no heed to the curse and hops in his Wariobile, heading straight for the pyramid with the hope of finding gold and treasure. Instead, Wario finds himself simply trying to get out of the pyramid alive.
