Diamond City is the main location of the WarioWare series. It appears in almost every game, though some events occur outside the city and some games only use Diamond City as a starting point then largely take place in another location. Wario claims that it is "his city" that he has made into a "sparkling gem of a metropolis." Here, Wario and his friends develop microgames for WarioWare, Inc., and most of them reside here. It is mentioned by Orbulon to be located on Earth. A map of a planet vaguely resembling the real Earth can be seen in Wario's House in WarioWare: Twisted!, with a more accurate depiction appearing in his house in WarioWare: Touched!, WarioWare: Smooth Moves, and Game & Wario. However, a completely different Earth-like planet is seen in the opening and ending cutscene of WarioWare Gold and in WarioWare: Get It Together!. In the opening cutscene of WarioWare: Get It Together!, structures from Santa Monica and Century City in California are used.[1][2] Additionally, descriptions for Orbulon's microgames mention Asia and Japan, though he visits completely fictional locations during the cutscene for his Culture microgames. In WarioWare: Twisted!, it can be seen that Diamond City is located on an island.
In Mario Kart Arcade GP and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, Diamond City appears as a race course.
