TheAwazon river basin[1] is the main setting ofVirtual Boy Wario Land, whereWario travelled prior to the events of the game to take a vacation. However, only a small area within it is seen, in the intro and ending cutscenes, since the game primarily takes place deep underground. Its name refers to theAmazon River, but the "M" is flipped to a "W", similar to Wario's name relative toMario's.

The story is initiated here when Wario, after being woken from his nap by abeaver, spots threeMask-Guys carrying treasure chests into a cave behind a nearby waterfall, referred to as theAldegara Waterfall in the manual. Wario manages to catch up with the Mask-Guys, only to come across a large vault where the treasure chests were stored. Before Wario is able to open it, however, the ground beneath him crumbles away, sending him plummeting to the bottom of a series of underground caverns. He is eventually able to escape after defeating the final boss,Demon Head. Afterwards, Wario decides to leave the river basin, with his mode of transportation depending on the amount oftreasure andcoins collected.
