Diamond Dig is one of Wario's microgames found in the Intro Games folder in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! and the Intro picture book in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!

Gameplay[edit]

The objective of the microgame is for the player to guide the falling Wario to collect the yellow diamond from the pit. The microgame takes place during daytime, with the surface composed of dirt. If the player lands on a surface, the player has only a brief second to move Wario from sitting on the surface before Wario cannot move anymore, thereby losing the microgame.

As the player progresses through the microgame, there will be a stone block serving as a simple obstacle placed above the yellow diamond. If this occurs, the player must navigate around the obstacle. Additionally, the speed increase results in Wario falling, and moving faster, making the microgame harder.

  • Level 1: There are no obstacles.
  • Level 2: There is a small stone block placed above the yellow diamond.
  • Level 3: There is a long stone block placed above the yellow diamond.

Notes[edit]

Tetris-esque microgame from Mario Artist Polygon Studio
BLOCK in Mario Artist: Polygon Studio
  • The precursor to Diamond Dig was first seen in Mario Artist: Polygon Studio, as a minigame titled "BLOCK".
  • This is one of three non-boss Intro Games microgames that does not appear in Dribble & Spitz's, Kat & Ana's, or Wario's second stage. The others are Wario Wear and I Spy.
  • In the Japanese version, this is one of the microgames that appears before the first Speed Up!
