List of WarioWare Gold microgames

This page lists all the 316 microgames included in WarioWare Gold. Each microgame falls under a control scheme – "Mash", "Twist", "Touch" or "Blow" – and a genre – "Intro Games", "Sports", "That's Life", "Fantasy", "Nintendo Classics", "Mic", "Pop-Up", or "Anything Goes."

A microgame with an italic font means that it lasts twice as long.

Mash League
Microgames in this league are played using buttons only. Some games use the, others the , and some of them use both.

Wario
Wario's first set of Intro Games introduces the "mash" controls to the player. Wario is featured in all games in some form. All six regular microgames are played before the boss microgame. His intermission stage consists of Wario sitting on a chair and a jumbotron consisting of a crowd and the Mash League logo and a yellow stage and speakers. The number of lives is represented by garlic. When the player wins, Wario cheers. If the player loses, Wario falls, the league logo dangles, and the crowd on the jumbotron boos. When the player loses all their lives, Wario's background changes, the jumbotron shuts off, and the speakers blow out. After the player continues during the first playthrough, the background changes back to normal, the jumbotron turns back on and Wario gets back up.

Before each microgame, Joe holds on a piece of clothing for Mona. The color determines the color of the dress or baggy clothes. When a boss is defeated, roses bloom and Mona wears a red fancy dress and calls it her perfect look. When the player loses all their lives, the curtain closes and Joe leaves. If the player continues during the first playthrough, Joe returns.

Description

If the player continues during the first playthrough, the screen flickers back on.

Description

Description
"You've arrived at the final stage of the Mash League! Good for you! Oh–I'm 5-Volt! Most of the time, I'm chasing after a rambunctious fourth grader, so whenever I get a chance to kick back and unwind, I take it. My games are all inspired by the Nintendo Classics games and toys I played with as a kid. Enjoy!"

''You may have been noticing I was getting pretty buff lately, thanks to my new frying pan! But if you'd rather be playing Nintendo Classics than work out, it's fine by me!'' (Second description)

When the player loses all their lives, Ashley and Red fall off-screen. If the player continues during the first playthrough, Ashley will rise out of the forest she fell in.

Description
"This is the Twist League! I guess I, Ashley, am in charge of amusing you now. How do you feel about demon summonings? It's not dangerous...usually. Come watch, or just play my Fantasy games. Either way, it's bound to be wicked."

If the player continues during the first playthrough, Crygor throws Doris 1 off of him and the pursuit continues.

When the player loses a microgame, the viruses destroy the tonic, and Doctor Crygor suffers a heart attack, as Penny rubs his back. When the player loses all their lives, Dr. Crygor faints, and the viruses show up. If the player continues on the first playthrough, Penny is shocked when Dr. Crygor musters enough strength to get back up, with the viruses showing signs of disbelief on their faces as they rise up.

Description
"Penny here with the final stage of the Twist League! Long time, no see. I've been cooped up in my lab, working on my latest invention. I'm still putting on the final touches, so in the meantime check out these games I made. They're all part of the That's Life theme, and they're all awesome!"

Touch League
Microgames in the Touch League are played only with the stylus and the touch screen.

9-Volt

His intermission consists of 9-Volt and Fronk starring in an RPG game similar to WarioWare: Mega Microgame$! The number of lives is represented by hearts. When the player wins a microgame, 9-Volt holds his sword in triumph and the text box says "You felled the game!" When the player loses a microgame, the screen turns reddish, a heart breaks, and the text box says "You took damage!" 9-Volt and Fronk start in a village and proceeds to treacherous environments as the stage progresses.

When the player loses all their lives, the text box says "You were defeated!" The "Speed Up", "Boss Encounter", and "Game Over" tunes all receive 8-bit remixes. If the player continues on the first playthrough, 9-Volt and Fronk are revived as an 8-bit fanfare plays. Like in Mega Microgame$! and unlike other characters, there is also a level indicator to indicate the microgame difficulty. The microgame difficulty is also determined by the time of day with Level 1 set in the day, Level 2 set during sunset, and Level 3 set at night. Also, the HUD text turns red on the player's last life.

Description
"I'm 9-Volt, and this is the second stage of the Touch League! I bet it's gonna be way more fun than what I'm doing&mdash;studying math.

Ultra League
Microgames introduced in this league are played alongside games from the previous sets. In the first two stages, the boss microgames are always played on the highest difficulty level. The themes are as follows.

Dancing Team
The Dancing Team consists of Dr. Crygor, Mona, Penny, Jimmy T., Kat, Ana, Young Cricket, Master Mantis, Mike, and Fronk. Their microgames are incorporated into the bundle along with Mike and Fronk's. The intermission stage consists of them on the dance floor as silhouettes, on the top screen. The bottom screen displays the silhouette of the next game's developer. The player's lives are represented by disco balls. When the player wins a game, the dance floor is lighted up and the characters celebrate; when the player loses, the characters fall on their backs (Current microgame's host included), and a disco ball drops. Boss microgames are automatically on level 3 and cycle in this order: Punch Out, Toilet Training, Top Notch, Nail Call, Basic Training, Pro Bowling.

The Dancing Team's headin' over to Club Joe now with all their Sports and That's Life games... Fronk and Mike are going to be there too, and they got a few surprises up their sleeves. Ooooh yeaaah!''

Potluck Gang
The Potluck Gang consists of Dribble, Spitz, 5-Volt, Ashley, Red, 18-Volt, 9-Volt, Orbulon, Mike, and Fronk. Their microgames are incorporated into the bundle along with Mike and Fronk's. The intermission stage consists of the camp goers playing a card game with a hidden card in the touch screen. The number of lives is represented by kabobs.

Join the Potluck Gang for some special games too, including some from the Nintendo Classics and Fantasy genres.''

Microgames
Mike and Fronk have microgames that are exclusive to the Ultra League. The microgames are:

Mike
Mike's microgames are based around blowing on the microphone, like in WarioWare: Touched! They can be unlocked during the Ultra League stages, "Dancing Team" (Grape Aim, Make a Wish, and Thar He Blows) and "Potluck Gang" (Grape Aim, Hit the Gust, and Lung Capacity).

Fronk
Fronk's microgames are, like in WarioWare: Twisted!, shorter than regular ones. Referred to as Pop-Up microgames, they can be unlocked during "Dancing Team," (Answering Machine, Feed on Fronk, and Vicious Veggies) "Potluck Gang" (The Claw, Fronk Fishing, and Sliding Doors) and Wario Deluxe (Tread Carefully).

Wario Deluxe
These microgames are themed after Wario, and can be unlocked during the last stage of the Ultra League, "Wario Deluxe". All of Wario's introduction microgames are bundled together and are automatically on level 2. Much like in Mega Microgame$, the theme of his microgames is called Anything Goes. The intermission stage consists of Wario wearing the pot and floating away on a balloon basket. After 10 rounds are cleared, Wario gains electric powers and zaps the screen before each microgame and hides the style hints, but only Wario's introduction microgames are played at this point. After four of these microgames are cleared, Lulu pops most of the balloons with her arrows and starts to fight Wario, and the style hints return. The number of lives is represented by gold bars. When the player wins a microgame, the crowd cheers and the screen gets brighter. If she is on screen at the time, Lulu gives two fingers up as well. If the player loses, the screen darkens, the crowd boos, and a gold block are smashed. If she is on screen at the time, Lulu gets upset. When the boss is defeated, all the balloons pop except for one which Lulu floats down on. Wario falls as a result. When the player loses all their lives, a different "Game Over" tune is heard. Lulu gets thrown off of Wario Deluxe if she's on-screen at the time. If the player continues on the first playthrough, Wario Deluxe will say “Oh! Don’t know when to quit?” Lulu jumps back on Wario if she was on-screen at the time. Unlike his normal counterpart, Wario Deluxe actually wants the player to lose.

Description
''What are YOU doing here?! Are you thinking you could beat ME? THE Wario?! Well, think again. The theme for this last stage is Anything Goes. That's right! You're about to see all kinds of crazy stuff! I'd pay attention if I were you. I'm not gonna make this easy!''

''What's this? Now you want to challenge Wario Deluxe? If you insist... Remember, Anything Goes is this stage. And the crazier I can make this, the better! I hope you like losing.'' (Second description)
