Records are a feature to the WarioWare series. They made their first appearance in WarioWare: D.I.Y. and are one of the three available things to make in the game.

Description

There are 24 record blocks. There are two measures in a block, and the player can make the song from a microgame-length song to a song utilizing all 24 blocks. Players can use instruments (see below), ranging from piano to UFO to 8-bit. Players can change the tempo (60BPM-240BPM) and can use the shuffle beat to add swing to notes placed right next to each other. There are four music tracks, each one playing different notes/instruments/volume. Then, the rhythm is a drum set, which there is a selection of eight possible drums. Unlike the music, which can only play one note at a time, the rhythm can play four drums at once. Players can choose between the following:

  • Instrument (Changes the instrument or drum set, there are 64 instruments and 8 drum sets)
  • Volume (There can be silence, very soft, soft, normal, and loud)
  • Balance (One speaker can have more sound than the other, or can be equally balanced)

Players can use the red backpack to change the three per track, and will set that for the whole song unless changed in a measure. However, though, when opening a new measure, the setting set are the same per track.
