List of WarioWare: Touched! pre-release and unused content
This is a list of pre-release and unused content for the game WarioWare: Touched!.
E3 2004[edit]
At E3 2004, the game was titled WarioWare, Inc. DS. To start the demo, the player would touch the bottom screen. In the demo, Wario would throw a 3D crate displaying the number of played microgames towards the screen which would open to start a microgame. When the player touched the bottom screen, a cursor would appear at that position. Successfully beating it would cause the crate to shatter and make Wario stomp in anger. In addition, the microgames lacked a time limit; instead, there was a 20-second time limit that activated during microgames and "TIME UP!" was displayed on the bottom screen once it finished. The crate would then fly back and hit Wario, causing a Game Over.[1][2][3] In the demo, Steel Chef required players to cut 6 objects. Write On, Dude's command was "Write that symbol!", Greedy Hands' command was "Gather!", and Quite Puzzled command was "Arrange!". In a promotional video of gameplay, the text was spaced out much further and the microgames shared the same music and sound effect.[4] In an early English translation, Chalk Full's command was misspelled as "Earse it!", Pet Petter's command was "Pet it!", Shakedown's command was "Shake 'em!", Impressionism's command was "Rub the paper!", and Oh, Snap!'s command was "Tickle the armpit!"[5]

Unused data[edit]
Unused microgames[edit]
TEST_BOSS[edit]
An unused placeholder character sheet can be found in the game's data, most likely serving as a template for the overworld character sprites. Some place-holder graphics for souvenirs serve a similar purpose. TEST_BOSS is a microgame used for testing boss microgames. It is simply Quite Puzzled, but with a different name.
BREAK_ELEVATOR[edit]
BREAK_ELEVATOR is an unused intermission scene for elevator characters (the bear characters). It is a blank pink screen for localized versions of the game, but Japanese versions of the game have Japanese text that translates to "Taking a rest! BREAK!".
