WarioWare, Inc. is a company founded and managed by Wario and plays a central role in the WarioWare games. It is located in Diamond City, where Wario often meets with many of his friends. He and his friends develop the WarioWare games for Wario's company, including their main feature, the microgames. Despite the high success of the games, Wario usually refuses to pay his friends.
HistoryEdit
WarioWare seriesEdit
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!Edit
The story of WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! is about the company being created. It is shown during the game intro. Wario gets the idea to create the company after watching a news report showing the success of Pyoro. Wario sets out to purchase a new computer and replaces his house with the headquarters of WarioWare, Inc. Soon after working on his games, Wario becomes tired, so he phones his friends to help produce their own games. This includes Mona, Jimmy T., Dribble & Spitz, 9-Volt, Kat & Ana, Orbulon, and Dr. Crygor. Everyone that he calls agree to pitch in, although Wario is the only one receiving any profit.[1] In the ending, Wario runs off said profits, refusing to pay his friends, and takes a rocket to escape into space. Dr. Crygor inadvertently crashes into the rocket, causing it to fall into the sea with Wario and the money.
Several of the following games, including WarioWare: Twisted!, WarioWare: Touched!, and WarioWare: Smooth Moves, continue to focus on Wario's attempts at making money, but WarioWare, Inc. is not mentioned.
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!Edit
The building appears in the movie "Shiner Diner" in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!. After Mona launches a soccer ball, it goes through the chimney of WarioWare, Inc. and hits Wario's television, fixing it.
WarioWare: D.I.Y.Edit
In WarioWare: D.I.Y., Mona, Jimmy T., Ashley, Orbulon and 9-Volt leave WarioWare, Inc. in favor of Diamond Software. Dr. Crygor one day gets the idea to make a machine that makes microgames. Wario and Penny introduce the machine to the player, so the player can make microgames for the company. They return to WarioWare, Inc. in Game & Wario.[2][3]
WarioWare: Get It Together!Edit
WarioWare, Inc. reappears as the main setting of WarioWare: Get It Together! This time, it appears as a small building between stores in a street in Diamond City. Wario's character gallery suggests that he and his crew relocated to a new building.
