List of WarioWare Gold microgames

This page lists all the 316 microgames included in WarioWare Gold. Each microgame falls under a control type – "Mash", "Twist", "Touch" or "Blow" – and a genre – "Intro Games", "Sports", "That's Life", "Fantasy", "Nintendo Classics", "Mic", "Pop-Up", or "Anything Goes". Over 80% of the microgames in this game are from previous WarioWare games.

A microgame with an italic font has a maximum duration of sixteen beats instead of the normal eight beats. A microgame with a bold font means that it does not appear in stages of Story mode until the first stage they would appear in is cleared for the first time.

Mash League

“You chumps ready to mash some stuff? You'd better be! Find the +Control Pad...and the A Button. You'll need those to squeeze out a win. Not hard enough for you? Some games just use this. Some, just this. Is that too much to handle? Now, then, make like a potato...and MASH!”

—Wario, WarioWare Gold

Microgames in this league are only played using buttons. Some games use the , others the , and some of them use both. All microgames that use also support unless otherwise stated.

Intro Games

Wario's first set of Intro Games introduces the "mash" controls to the player. Wario is featured in all games in some form. All six regular microgames are played before the boss microgame. His intermission stage consists of him sitting on a chair and a jumbotron consisting of a crowd (resembles Mr. Game & Watch), the Mash League logo, a yellow stage, and yellow speakers. The number of lives is represented by garlic. When the player wins, Wario cheers. If the player loses, Wario falls, the league logo dangles, and the crowd on the jumbotron boos. When the player loses all their lives, Wario's background changes, the jumbotron shuts off, and the speakers blow out. After the player continues during the first playthrough, the background changes back to normal, the jumbotron turns back on and Wario gets back up.
