For sprites, definitely 4. Loved it enough to get it made into a keychain 2 years ago, and I still think it looks dope as hell!
Omg I need one of those with the one where he’s flexing

I often overlooked it since it’s the only one I didn’t beat but I’m trying it (gonna get 3D glasses soon) and wow these sprites blow me away. Makes me with there was more Wario land on powerful systems.
The only reason I want a 3DS is to play VB Wario Land

I think Wario Land 4 is objectively the best, there's a meticulous attention to detail in a lot of the spritework. The only thing I don't love about it is that the colors are a bit too bright, likely to compensate for the original GBA's lack of backlight, but it is a very beautiful game.
Virtual Boy Wario Land also has some great, detailed sprites especially on the man himself... though the way they're assembled sometimes leaves things feeling cluttered (the final regular level is a good example). I also don't think the attempt to shade things with such a limited color palette has held up; same goes for the first Wario Land and the GB version of WLII. The GBC games mostly keeping things flat colored was the right choice.

Wario Land 4. Love the sprites for Wario, various characters and enemies, and the environments themselves.
Plus you've got this if you feel it's too bright too:

Gotta give props to the first Wario Land game though. For a Game Boy game, it's very impressive tech/art wise.

Wario Land 4 Color Palette Enhancement
Many Game Boy Advance games have overly bright and washed out colors, as a compensation for the lack

True, but that doesn't help for most people now. Sadly, it looks worse on PC (and Switch Online) than on GBA.
I wonder how if it looks the same on DS and 3DS since it is technically real hardware but doesn't have the same screen display. I don't have a GBA to compare to.
I do have GBARUNNER3 installed on my dsi and if you put in some specific command on a text file it converts the colors into the most accurate gba screen colors I’ve seen on another device. These are the only pics I have rn but I’ll try to get one of the title screen

The edges are just because I turned the bezels off so there’s no frame of input lag
