*'''Fantasy''' ('''Sci-Fi''' prior to ''WarioWare Gold''): Microgames with fantastical elements such as magic, space, and monsters, or are generally unrealistic. Some microgames in this theme also involve concepts based in feudal Japan, such as ninjas and samurai. It is the signature theme for [[Dribble & Spitz]], though it is also used by [[Ashley]] & [[Red (WarioWare series)|Red]] and [[Orbulon]] in ''WarioWare Gold''. | *'''Fantasy''' ('''Sci-Fi''' prior to ''WarioWare Gold''): Microgames with fantastical elements such as magic, space, and monsters, or are generally unrealistic.

*'''That's Life''' ('''Strange''' prior to ''WarioWare Gold''): These microgames commonly depict normal everyday things, sometimes in a strange manner, or otherwise involve concepts that do not fit under any other theme. It is the signature theme for [[Mona]], though it is also used by [[Penny]] and [[Kat & Ana]] in ''WarioWare Gold''. | *'''That's Life''' ('''Strange''' prior to ''WarioWare Gold''): These microgames commonly depict normal everyday things, sometimes in a strange manner, or otherwise involve concepts that do not fit under any other theme.

*'''''IQ''''': Microgames with extended timers. Microgames of this nature typically involve making the player think (hence the name) or objectives that take longer to complete. It is the signature theme for [[Orbulon]]. Starting in ''Touched!'', this theme has dissipated and microgames of this nature can be found in nearly every set. Despite this, a dedicated set still appears in ''D.I.Y.'', with some games now lasting the standard amount of time. | *'''''IQ''''': Microgames with extended timers.

*'''Reality''': Microgames containing photorealistic graphics. Despite the name, these microgames are not necessarily more realistic than others. This theme only appears in ''Mega Microgame$!'' and ''Mega Party Game$!'', where it is hosted by Dr. Crygor. | *'''Reality''': Microgames containing photorealistic graphics.
