-'''''WarioWare: Twisted!''''' is the third game in the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. It was released for the [[Game Boy Advance]] in Japan on October 14, 2004 and in North America on May 23, 2005. Unlike other ''WarioWare'' games, it uses a tilt sensor for the bulk of its gameplay, which allows for the console to be tilted in order to create input instead of pressing buttons (though buttons are occasionally used). The game revolves around [[Wario]] and his coworkers going on self-contained adventures throughout [[Diamond City]], with the microgames being played as the characters attempt to solve whatever problem is occurring to them.
+'''''WarioWare: Twisted!''''' is the third game in the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. It was released for the [[Game Boy Advance]] in Japan on October 14, 2004 and in North America on May 23, 2005. Unlike other ''WarioWare'' games, it uses a tilt sensor for the bulk of its gameplay, which allows for the console to be tilted in order to create input instead of pressing buttons (though buttons are occasionally used). The game features a story that revolves around [[Wario]] and his employees going on self-contained adventures throughout [[Diamond City]], with the microgames being played as the characters attempt to solve whatever problem they have.
 ==Story==
 While [[Wario]] is playing [[Avoid-A-Roid]] on his Game Boy Advance, he loses and, in frustration, tosses the system, heavily damaging it. He is immediately horrified when he sees the damage but decides to ask [[Dr. Crygor]] see if he can fix it. At his [[Dr. Crygor's Lab|lab]], Dr. Crygor tosses the Game Boy Advance into his new invention, the [[Gravitator]], which creates new handheld systems with no buttons. He explains that the system is controlled through rotation, and Wario starts to play with it. Soon, [[Mona]] and [[9-Volt]] enter the lab and start to play with the systems, quickly enjoying it. This gives Wario the idea to market the handheld system, dreaming of making a fortune from it. Each character hosts a set of microgames and comes with an individual story dedicated to them. At the end of each story, the respective character meets with the others at [[Club Sugar]].

 ==Gameplay==
 [[File:Avoid-A-Roid.png|thumb|[[Avoid-A-Roid]], one of Mona's microgames, involves dodging asteroids by rotating the console.]]
-The core gameplay of ''Twisted'', like the other installments in the series, revolves around completing small, simple minigames called [[microgame]]s that increase in speed and difficulty as they are completed. Most only last for about four seconds, with the exceptions being Fronk (whose microgames last around two seconds) and Orbulon (whose microgames last around eight seconds). They also only provide a short instruction, usually only a couple of words or a single word, at the very beginning. The microgames are sorted by the various hosts of the story's stages, which each host having a recognizable distinction between their microgames. Stages are unlocked linearly; after beating one character's stage, which involves completing a certain number of microgames before facing a "boss" microgame, another stage is unlocked, and this continues until every stage is unlocked. The game uses a gyroscopic sensor built into the cartridge that allows the player to physically move the console to control the game. While the buttons are still frequently used, most of the emphasis is placed onto the tilt sensor.

They also only provide a short instruction, usually only a couple of words or a single word, at the very beginning. Unlike the other installments where the player's score increases by one regardless if the microgame is cleared or not, the score stays the same if the player fails to clear a microgame, but it does not delay "[[Speed Up!|Faster!]]" or boss stage arrivals.

The exceptions to this are [[Fronk]], who has nine microgames that can appear at any point, and the various microgame sets, who use a collection of microgames from other characters rather than unique microgames.

 Souvenirs are items separate from the microgames that have varying levels of interactivity. The souvenirs are divided into seven categories: Records (various music tracks from the main game and microgames), Instruments (musical devices that can be used to play notes or songs), Figurines (dolls and action figures that can each be uniquely manipulated), Games (short minigames that are often based around other microgames), Doodads (utility gadgets that can be used as actual tools), Toys (amusing items that have limited interactivity in comparison to the Games), and Other (miscellaneous items that do not belong in any other category). There are 139 different souvenirs in the American release of ''Twisted'', though the Japanese release has two exclusive souvenirs: [[Figurines (WarioWare: Twisted!)#Mushroom|Mushroom]] and [[Mochitsuki Set]].

 ==Regional differences==
 As with most localizations, there are many differences between ''WarioWare: Twisted!''{{'}}s Japanese and English releases; most of them are minor graphical or text changes, such as the "points" symbol being removed next to high score or "Speed Up" being changed to "Faster", but many notable changes were made to the story, the microgames, and the souvenirs.

 *In the Japanese version, 9-Volt's stage centers around him and 18-Volt playing on a [[Family Computer]] (a Japan-exclusive console), while in the English version, an [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] is used. As the stage proper takes place inside the console, the colors are appropriately changed, and the four elf-like creatures that represent the player's lives are also changed to Wario lookalikes, although oddly R.O.B. retains its Japanese colors in all versions.
