WarioWare: Get It Together! is the eleventh installment in the WarioWare series, released worldwide on September 10, 2021 for Nintendo Switch. As in previous WarioWare games, the main gameplay involves the player playing various microgames in succession, though in this game, the player controls one of the various characters from the series within the microgames, with each character possessing a unique trait and ability, allowing the player to approach and complete microgames in different ways. Another feature new to the series is the ability to play microgames in simultaneous multiplayer. Over 200 microgames appear in the game. Before the release of the full game, a free demo of the game was released on the Nintendo eShop on August 19, 2021.[9]
Story
The story begins in Diamond City, where crowds of people are lining up to purchase a new game titled Super Pyoro. Meanwhile, Wario and his employees at WarioWare, Inc. have just completed the development of their own game. When Wario tries to play it, however, the game does not work as expected, causing him to throw it in the air in frustration. After he does so, a mouth appears on the screen and pulls Wario and his crew into the system, turning them into miniature versions of themselves and trapping them inside.
Inside the game, the crew members find that they now have special abilities or items that they can use to help them. However, they also encounter game bugs, which corrupt the game's levels. Wario must progress through the levels and complete them to defeat the game bugs and recruit his employees, who assist him in his journey.
After the crew defeats the Mega Bug, the final and most powerful game bug, they encounter the Supreme Developer, who reveals that he was the one who brought them into the game so that they could defeat the game bugs, and he opens a portal through which the crew escapes the game, inviting them to come back and play at any time. After they return, Wario's employees wonder where the game bugs came from. Wario reveals that they were a result of his bad programming and neglect to correct it, much to the anger of his employees, who proceed to chase him around. However, they stop chasing him when he realizes that three crew members, namely Red, Master Mantis, and Lulu, are still stuck inside the game. At this, they head back into the game, but shortly afterward, a mysterious object glides across the game screen.
Back in the game, the crew encounters the Supreme Developer again, who states that their missing friends have been captured but that it is not the work of the game bugs. The crew progresses through a series of three skyscrapers, rescuing Red in the first, Master Mantis in the second, and Lulu in the third, all of whom were kidnapped by a giant flying entity, which the crew pursues up each of the skyscrapers using an elevator; each time, they see it fly out of a window and leave behind a piece of treasure, much to Wario's glee. The final time this happens, a note is also left which dares the crew to combine the three treasures into one. Wario agrees to this dare, but the crew fails to come up with a method of combining the objects.
Dr. Crygor decides to phone his granddaughter Penny to see if she can help. Penny receives the call while she is testing the Jet Tank One, a water blaster she invented, which she uses as a jet pack to fly. Agreeing to help, she flies into the WarioWare, Inc. building and into the game, where she combines the treasures into a Golden Watering Can. She then uses the water from the Jet Tank One in tandem with the can to grow a giant beanstalk; however, the can vanishes afterwards, upsetting Wario. The crew then climbs the beanstalk and, after finding nothing for a long time, they eventually encounter the mysterious object and face off against it in a final battle. After they defeat it, it reveals itself to be Pyoro, who went from his own game into Wario's to have fun. Wario then complains about having ended up without any treasure, to which Master Mantis says, "Treasure not the gold but the journey it inspired."
Modes
Story
- “This is where Wario and his crew begin their journey. Play through various levels to continue their adventure.”
- —In-game description
Story mode is the main mode of the game. The player progresses through various levels on a world map, each containing a set of microgames. There are twelve levels in the main story, including ten levels with their own unique, themed set of microgames and hosted by the characters, and two remix levels that compile microgames from previous levels, as well as five bonus levels available after beating the final level. This mode can be played with one or two players and is required to unlock additional characters and modes.
Each character-hosted level represents a level created by the WarioWare, Inc. employees for their game and features its own story, but has been corrupted by a game bug. After the boss microgame is completed and the level is cleared, the game bug is eliminated and the player can then choose to replay the level to achieve a high score. The player receives 1,000 coins upon clearing a level for the first time.
On most levels, the player is required to assemble a crew of characters that they have already unlocked, with the size of the crew increasing as they progress further into the game. On the first playthrough, any characters introduced within a level must always be part of the player's crew, and they will always be used when playing the boss microgame. After beating Showdown for the first time, the option to use all the characters in the crew becomes available for previous levels.

Play-o-pedia
- Main article: List of WarioWare: Get It Together! microgames
The Play-o-pedia is where the player can play individual microgames after they have unlocked them by playing them at least once in the Story mode. The menu itself is unlocked after clearing the Intro Games level. There are 222 microgames in total across all categories. When playing a microgame, the player plays through its three difficulty levels, after which it reverts to Level 1 but with the speed increasing, and the cycle repeats until the player loses all four lives. Each microgame has a passing score which, if reached, rewards the player with 300 coins and can only be achieved if the player uses the all crew members option. In addition, every crew member has a specific level of suitability for each microgame, which can be viewed on the crew selection screen when entering a microgame with a crew of a limited number of characters, with the level of suitability being rated from a scale of "Bad Fit" to "Good Fit" (a dark-red crying face for very poor suitability, a red frowning face for poor suitability, a yellow neutral face for average suitability, a green smiling face for strong suitability, and a bright-green happy face for very strong suitability).
Crew
The Crew mode allows the player to interact with the crew members in the Break Room, purchase and view Prezzies (items of varying rarities that can be given to crew members to increase their Job Points) in the Emporium, and view their play data, which displays each crew member's number of plays, number of wins, win percentage rate, and their job statuses (levels). This mode is unlocked after clearing the Intro Games level.
Break Room
In the Break Room, the player can practice a crew member's controls in the tutorial level from when they became playable, give them Prezzies, customize their appearance, and listen to their voice clips. Each crew member has a job status, which is measured by a level-up system (beginning at level 1 with a Job Title of "Free Spirit"), and by giving them Prezzies, they receive Job Points which fill up a meter; once the meter is full, it resets and the crew member levels up and is "promoted", receiving a new Job Title. Leveling up a crew member unlocks new customization options and a gallery of special artwork of that member (up to five pieces for each one, unlocked at levels 2, 5, 8, 11, and 14, respectively) and increases their base score for when they are used in Wario Cup. A crew member can be leveled up to level 100, at which point the player can view all of their Prezzy preferences.
Customization options
The player can customize three parts of a crew member into a variety of different colors: "Main", which usually applies to the member's hair, headwear, or even skin; "Sub", which usually applies to clothing; and "Accent", a relatively smaller feature of the member. Only Noncommittal Crimson is available at level 1, with a new color being added as the crew member levels up. In addition to colors, the player can unlock up to five special palette swaps that add visual and audio effects to the crew member, such as sparkles and increasing the pitch in their voice. The customizable colors (along with the levels where they are unlocked) and special palette swaps are as follows:
Custom | ||
---|---|---|
1: Noncommittal Crimson | 11: Just Peachy | 21: Presidential Suite |
2: Blue the Opportunity | 12: Almost Purple | 22: Night Sky |
3: Youthful Yellow | 13: Daily Banana | 23: Aged Yellow |
4: Still Green | 14: Not So Green | 24: Scenic Views |
5: Pink Perspective | 15: Flush with Power | 25: Deep Magenta |

Cutie Pie | "It is a cute effect. Though it's unclear what pie has to do with it." | Changes the crew member into pastel colors, adds flower effects, and increases the pitch and speed of their voice. | Lv. 9 | |

Emporium
- Main article: Prezzy
In the Emporium, the player can use any coins they have earned to purchase Prezzies directly from the shop, which sells five Prezzies at a time and refreshes every two hours, or from Cluckade machines, capsule machines that resemble the Cluck-A-Pop from Game & Wario and dispense random Prezzies. There are two machines: a red one that dispenses one- to five-star Prezzies and costs 100 coins for one and 1,000 for a batch of 10, and a yellow one that dispenses three- to five-star ("rare") Prezzies and costs 500 coins for one and 5,000 for a batch of 10. The Emporium is unlocked after clearing the Showdown level.
Wario Cup
Wario Cup is an online mode in WarioWare: Get It Together! unlocked after completing Showdown. It features Challenges, sets of microgames that are played under certain conditions, where the player can win a bronze, silver, or gold cup and earn coins based on the score they earned. If the player has a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, they can turn on Ranked Mode, which allows them to compete with friends' and other players' scores and times. Each Challenge lasts a week, and players can upload their scores during the period. At the end of the Challenge period, coins are given based on the player's rank (A, B, C, D, or E, with A being the highest), with the highest rewards including Prezzies. Challenges from previous weeks can be replayed for personal record-breaking, even if they were missed during the initial period.

Like its predecessor, WarioWare: Get It Together! was primarily developed by Intelligent Systems and supervised by Nintendo. Goro Abe, the lead of the series, continued to serve as the chief director, Yu Yamanaka assisted Abe as the sub-director and oversaw the game's program, and Ko Takeuchi also continued to work on character art and illustrations. The characters' English voice actors from WarioWare Gold all return (marking the final WarioWare game to feature newly recorded dialogue from Charles Martinet in the role of Wario), while Rebeka Thomas voices the announcer who reads the commands for each microgame aloud, a first for the series. The game's voice acting is dubbed in the same languages as WarioWare Gold, with the Dutch, Russian, and Korean versions reusing the English voices while the Chinese versions reuse the Japanese voices (with the exception of the microgame announcer, who is dubbed in all of the game's languages).
Reception
Reviews | |||
---|---|---|---|
Release | Reviewer, Publication | Score | Comment |
Nintendo Switch | Tom Marks, IGN | 7/10 | "WarioWare: Get It Together! is an absurd delight, testing your ability to think quickly and adapt on the fly in a series of ever-escalating microgames. That tried-and-true formula is still a lot of fun here, looking better than ever and introducing unique characters that can either bring interesting twists or mechanical frustration to familiar games depending on who you’re using. It’s a shame that Get It Together!’s multiplayer options somewhat drop the ball though, enough for an evening or two of laugh-out-loud fun with friends but lacking the staying power for many more beyond that." |
Nintendo Switch | Steve Watts, GameSpot | 8/10 | "For the most part, the new character-based approach is a welcome addition to the WarioWare blueprint. The characters themselves are differentiated and expressive, and mechanically they make the traditional microgame challenges that much more engaging. The WarioWare series has been fertile ground for Nintendo to experiment with concepts like touchscreen capabilities in Touched or accelerometer-based motion in Twisted, which makes Get It Together's platforming riffs a little more traditional than usual. But that also makes it less reliant on a gimmick, and that's a change for the better." |
Nintendo Switch | Christian Donlan, Eurogamer | N/A | "There's lovely stuff here, enough to offer that potholing sense of antic richness which is always part of the WarioWare deal. What words to use for a game like this? Capsule toys abound in the menus, as ever, but what this really reminds me of is the days when cereal used to come with a little plastic doodad of some kind in it to tempt you to buy it, and you'd buy it and then thrust your hand down into the packet, past the crispies or flakes or whatever they were, with no idea quite what delight you would find. Brilliant! And in WarioWare's case, panic inducing. But in a good way." |

Awards and acknowledgements
WarioWare: Get It Together! was nominated for Best Family game at The Game Awards 2021, though it lost to It Takes Two.[10]
Sales
WarioWare: Get It Together! sold 1.24 million units as of December 31, 2021.[11]
Promotion
In the month leading up to the game's release, several trailers, promotions and advertisements were shared via Nintendo's social media accounts. The trailers in particular were notable for featuring the voice of Charles Martinet (as well as Wario's official speaking voices in other languages) as Wario, advertising the game's characters, content, and game modes.[12]
From August 25[13] through September 30, 2021,[14] the official British Super Mario Twitter account ("Super Mario UK") switched its focus to Wario. Under the display name of "Super Wario UK",[15] the account would showcase playable characters from WarioWare: Get It Together!, count down to the game's release, and reminisce about past games from the Wario franchise. On September 15, the account asked users to reply to a tweet with what their favorite thing about Wario is for the chance to win a WarioWare cotton bag, notebook, poster, and sticker sheet;[16] the contest closed on September 30, 2021, with five entrants picked as winners.
In line with the releases of Game & Wario and WarioWare Gold, Nintendo of America's Twitter was "taken over" by Wario, who promoted his game with new pictures, audio and video clips.[17]
Several pieces of promotional merchandise were released for the game, including a WarioWare: Get It Together!-themed notebook and sticker sheet as a pre-order bonus from Amazon UK,[18] and a pin collection and magnet sheet as My Nintendo rewards.
On October 20, 2021, Nintendo posted a parodic accolades trailer for the game on its YouTube channel.[19] In the video, quotes from fake sources such as the Toilet Tribune and Wario Times are cited in a dramatic fashion. The game is also given fake awards like the "2021 Game Of The What Is Time Anyway Award". During that scene, some awards are actually text teasing the viewer for pausing the video to read through the awards.
