Tower of Revival (S3) is the South ability hub in Wario Land 3. Use the finder below for every Gray, Red, Green, and Blue chest and all eight Musical Coins—with exact room-map links for Day/Night and each map variant. First priority is the Gray Chest Swimming Flippers so you can swim and dive everywhere after you leave the tower.
FIRST CLEAR PRIORITY
Open the Gray Chest for Swimming Flippers, then unlock powered dash with Garlic
Carry the Gray Key to the Gray Chest and take Swimming Flippers for permanent swim and dive. On the same visit path, prioritize the Red Chest Garlic for the powered dash attack and the Tidal Coast → Sea Turtle Rocks overworld route. Come back later for Treasure Map, Sky Key, and Musical Coins as glass-eye and golden-eye variants open deeper floors.

PERMANENT ABILITIES · S3
How to swim and how to get powered dash
Two of the nine permanent powers live in this tower. Ability treasures permanently change Wario outside the level—you do not need to hold a form for them.
Swimming Flippers · Swim & Dive
Gray Chest reward. Lets Wario swim on the surface, dive below, and use underwater passages. Without Flippers, deep water is a soft wall for many chest and coin routes.
Also rewrites The Big Bridge to Variant 2 and The Pool of Rain to Variant 3 so later revisits open new rooms.
Garlic · Powered Dash Attack
Red Chest reward. Strengthens Wario’s dash so tougher side blocks break and longer slides clear hazard lines. This is the powered dash upgrade—not Ground Pound (Lead Overalls in W2)—and it is a high priority right after Swimming Flippers.
On the overworld, Garlic clears the northern path from The Tidal Coast to Sea Turtle Rocks. It also unlocks Bank of the Wild River V2 and The Colossal Hole V2.
MUSICAL COINS · MUSIC COINS
All 8 Musical Coins in Tower of Revival
Every level has eight Musical Coins. They are not required for the Perfect treasure screen, but finishing all 200 coins across the game unlocks Golf Building Course 4. Room numbers below match the default Day layout.
| Coin | Primary rooms | Also present in |
|---|---|---|
| Musical Coin 1 | 1 | — |
| Musical Coin 2 | 5 | 26 |
