WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!

 * Arrow Space: This microgame has merged with Drywall Dodge from WarioWare: Twisted!; level 1 plays like Arrow Space, level 2 plays like Drywall Dodge, and level 3 plays as a fusion of both microgames.
 * Body Block: The watermelon is replaced with sports balls to fit into the "Sports" genre: there is a soccer ball in the first level, a basketball in the second level, and a volleyball in the third level. The person in each stage now dresses accordingly to match that sport and the backdrop is yellow. Additionally, if the ball is under or below the player even before it touches the bottom of the screen, the player will still lose the microgame.
 * Bug Birdie: Instead of being themed after a golf course, the microgame is set in an ancient temple. The microgame's length is doubled, and it is possible to wraparound. Wario no longer walks backward. It is no longer possible to win with both Wario and the ball in the hole.

The "Success" and "Failure" texts that appeared when the player won or lost the microgame respectively are replaced with animations.
 * Crack Down: When the man swings the mallet, he makes a more dragged-out grunting sound. When the bird jumps, a spring sound can be heard.

The music samples from The Curious Factory from Wario Land 4, which was also used in the original extended Paper Plane theme.
