Intro Games
Intro Games is a set of Introduction microgames. These games are made by Wario. With only 13 microgames, it is the smallest set and features basic games that all involve Wario in some way. In Wario's first stage, the boss stage appears after nine microgames. The intermission between every microgame shows Wario's boombox with Wario inside, which is a spoof of the boombox in the Sound Bomber mode of Mario Artist: Polygon Studio, and also the sound effects loosely resemble the ones from said game. Five of the Introduction microgames are based on the Sound Bomber games, too. The intermission of this stage is also the only one seen in the Grid mode, the life counters in this stage are volume meters. Microgame speed is based on the color of Wario's screen. If the player wins a microgame, Wario smiles, but if the player loses, Wario frowns. If the player loses all of their lives, the radio turns off.
The intro games can also pop up while the player is playing the Sci-Fi, Nature, and Anything Goes themed microgames. They'll start at level 1 for Sci-Fi; level 2 for Nature; level 3 for Anything Goes.

Sci-Fi games are focused on futuristic things such as aliens, space fights and superheroes. A notable number of games is also centered on ninjas and samurais. The boss stage shows up after 24 microgames in the cabbie duo's stage. A few of the Introduction games also appear in this stage. The intermission takes place inside the taxi that drives through the city while it rains. A Japanese song named Koe no Tadayou Namima made ("To the Waves of Drifting Voices") can be heard during the game. The life counters in this stage are hanging smaller versions of Spitz as decorations. When the player wins a microgame, the wipers go as normal, and the screen shakes slightly. When the player loses, the song stops abruptly for a moment, and one of the Spitz decorations fall. When the player loses all of their lives, the wipers start going slower, before fading out to the score screen. Also, games in this stage can speed up without warning, only evidenced by the song, wipers going faster, and the dashboard color, also, the song's instruments change whenever a speed up or boss stage happens.

Nintendo Classics
Nintendo Classics is the genre of 9-Volt's microgames. Like the two previous sets, the games are playable when the player has beaten the Sports stage. All of 9-Volt's microgames are based on various Nintendo products from the 1960s up to the 1990s, such as the games Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda and the toys Ultra Hand and Chiritorie. In 9-Volt's stage, the boss stage has to beaten after 14 microgames. The intermission is a spoof of Dragon Quest (originally known as Dragon Warrior outside of Japan), a game not made or owned by Nintendo (even though Nintendo publishes the games outside of Japan). The number of lives is represented by HP number (the only stage to use a counter rather than a number of icons). The microgame speed is determined by the background color. When the player wins a microgame, the 9-Volt on the Game Boy holds a sword in triumph, and the words "You felled the game!" appear. If the player loses, the windows and text turn red, and the words "You've taken damage!" appear. If the player loses all of their lives, the background fades out, except for the 9-Volt and the bottom text. The text will say "You've been downed!" This is the only intermission stage in the game to display the player's name and the difficulty level of the microgames.

IQ
IQ is Orbulon's set of microgames. It is unlocked after beating Jimmy's Remix No. 1 stage. The games last four seconds longer and require more thinking than the other ones. For example, the player has to count a swarm of leaping frogs, identify a specific object, navigate a maze, and answer correctly when grilled. The boss stage shows up after playing 14 microgames. The intermission shows the interior of the Space Hares' rescue ship where four of the aliens dance, acting as the life meter. The speed is determined by the color of the TV screen. When the player wins a microgame, the elevator raises, and the alien bunnies keep dancing. When the player loses, an alien bunny falls into a void. When the player loses all of their lives, the elevator drops back to Orbulon's Oinker.

Reality
Reality is the name of Dr. Crygor's genre of microgames which is playable after beating the Remix No. 1 stage. Dr. Crygor's games are not necessarily more "realistic" than the other ones, but they feature partly animated photographs, for example photos of animals, people and food. The boss stage of the Reality stage appears after 14 games. In the intermission, the opened toilet in Dr. Crygor's Lab is shown in top-down view. During Dr. Crygor's stage, his theme plays. When the player wins, the toilet flushes. When the player loses, the song becomes distorted, and one life is lost (represented by rolls of toilet paper). When the player loses all of their lives, the toilet closes. The microgame speed is determined by the color of the floor tiles.

A few of the Introduction games that already start on the second difficulty level can also appear in this stage. In the intermission, the player sees the interior of the Castle where one fusuma opens with each microgame. Notably, the messages and the score in this stage are displayed in Japanese, but the microgame instructions are localized in Western versions.

If the player loses, the song is distorted and part of the Katana (The life bar) is lost. The microgame speed is determined by the color of the doors.

Anything Goes
Anything Goes is the last set of microgames and is hosted by Wario again. It is unlocked by beating Jimmy's Remix No. 2 stage. Like in Wario's first set, the greedy boss himself is featured in all games in some way. Otherwise, there is no specific theme that would apply to all microgames, the set rather reuses themes from previous sets. For example, Wario squashes a photographed apple from Dr. Crygor's stage, he destroys a jar of eye drops in a microgame similar to Mona's, he has become an animal (namely a beetle) on a golf course like it was seen in one of Jimmy's games, and he even pops up in Nintendo games, such as Super Mario Land, which were released before Wario's debut. In the Anything Goes stage, it takes 24 microgames until the boss stage appears. Introduction microgames that are always on the hardest level also reappear in the stage. The intermission between the games shows the desktop metaphor of Wario's Laptop where Wario's face is displayed in a window, happy if the player wins, but sad if the player loses, also, a small Wario will go into a "Recycle Bin", if the player loses all of their lives, the words "GAME OVER" appear, before cutting to the score screen. Microgame speed is determined by the background color.
