Trivia

  • The Mona Pizza logo (the picture depicting Mona as a spoof of Mona Lisa) is not present in the Japanese version of WarioWare: Twisted! and did not appear until the Japanese release of WarioWare: Touched! It was presumably added to the English version of Twisted! due to the later release and since Touched! was released prior to Twisted! outside of Japan.
  • The Mona Pizza delivery box's design is completely different in the Japanese version of WarioWare: Twisted! The characters on the box are the Pork Loins, the band from the Garage Rock microgame from WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! and Mona's intro in WarioWare: Touched!
