Microgame

Microgames are shorter versions of mini-games appearing in the WarioWare series. The average microgame is around 5 seconds long, but Orbulon's, which usually require thinking, would often be 8. Each WarioWare, Inc. developer typically has a different style or control type of microgame.

The term "microgame" is, according to Mario Party Advance ' s manual, also applied to any small challenge given in that game's quests. As such, the microgames of Mario Party Advance can be very varying in style, purpose, and simplicity; completing a microgame typically rewards the player with a Gaddget.
