WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, alternatively called WarioWare: Do It Yourself - Showcase in British English, is a game of the WarioWare series on the Wii that accompanies the Nintendo DS title WarioWare: D.I.Y. It was released on April 29, 2009 in Japan as a downloadable WiiWare game for the price of 800 Wii Points, and was later released in North America on March 29, 2010, in Europe on April 30, 2010, and in Oceania on May 20, 2010. The game allows the player to play microgames and other content created with WarioWare: D.I.Y., though it does not require a copy of WarioWare: D.I.Y to be played.

Like its Nintendo DS counterpart, WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase includes a number of premade microgames divided into four different sets. The stages are hosted by WarioWare characters and each set is based around a certain theme, similar to WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!

Due to the closure of the Wii Shop Channel at the end of January 2019, this application is no longer available to purchase.

There are three ways to get microgames in WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase:

From DS to Wii
From Wii to Wii
From Nintendo to Wii

The player has also the option to send microgames to other players. The two ways are:

From Wii to DS
From Wii to Wii

Game Blender[edit]

Main article: List of WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase microgames

The Game Blender alows the player to blend their microgames together to one Game Stage. Instead of playing one game at a time, the player will play multiple games in random order. The player can create their own D.I.Y. Mix Stages, with their microgames. The player can also play a Stage created by Wario and his remaining employees. As indicated above, there are four character stages with their own Microgames, each having a different story. When all the microgames of Wario and his friends have been accounted for, the player can unlock Shuffle Stages with all the microgames of Wario-Man Software.

Wario-Man Software Microgames[edit]

Character/Microgame theme name	Microgame theme	Story
Wario-Man The Extraordinary Wario-Man	Microgames involving Wario himself	Wario-Man appears to be flying at a park. However, after noticing a line of men needing help, Wario-Man rushes to assist every possible stall he can reach.
Dribble & Spitz Dribble & Spitz Rally!	Microgames involving Science Fiction	The Diamond Taxi pair Dribble & Spitz seem to participate on a car rally. Between Microgames, their car and other cars are bashing each other out of the way. What determines the car who "defeats" the other driver is based on whether the player had won a Microgame or not.
Kat & Ana Kat & Ana's Sky Patrol	Microgames involving animals	The kindergarten-ninjas seem to jump off a cliff; but then fly above the sky using capes in the style of Cape Mario. Four other birds (represented as the player's four "chances") fly with the two.
18-Volt Jet 18Volt	Microgames involving Nintendo products	Just like 9-Volt in the DS version, 18-Volt's stage is based on a classic game, where 18-Volt stars in. Fronks appear as enemies, and 9-Volt seems to be a boss, oddly enough.
Wario-Man Software: Shuffle	All the microgames of Wario's crew	No story. Wario's TV turns on and the player must be ready to play some microgames. After four microgames are played, the speed will get higher or a boss game will be played.
Wario-Man Software: Ultra Hard	All the microgames of Wario's crew	No story. Wario's TV turns on and the player must be ready to play some microgames. Microgames are at high speed from the beginning of the stage.

D.I.Y. Microgames[edit]

Stage	Microgame theme	Way to play
D.I.Y. 1: Shuffle	D.I.Y Games saved in Room 1	Play the microgames. After five microgames are played, the speed will get higher.
D.I.Y. 2: Shuffle	D.I.Y Games saved in Room 2	Play the microgames. After five microgames are played, the speed will get higher.
D.I.Y. 3: Shuffle	D.I.Y Games saved in Room 3	Play the microgames. After five microgames are played, the speed will get higher.
D.I.Y. 4: Shuffle	D.I.Y Games saved in Room 4	Play the microgames. After five microgames are played, the speed will get higher.
D.I.Y. Mix: Shuffle	All the D.I.Y. games	Play the microgames. After five microgames are played, the speed will get higher.
D.I.Y. Mix: Ultra Hard	All the D.I.Y. games	Microgames are at high speed from the beginning and gets higher without warning.

Mix All Microgames[edit]

Stage	Microgame theme	Way to play
Mix All: Shuffle	All the games saved in the Wario-Man Super Store	Play the microgames. After four microgames are played, the speed will get higher or a bossgame will be played
Mix All: Ultra Hard	All the games saved in the Wario-Man Super Store	Microgames are at high speed from the beginning and gets higher without warning.
Mix All: Versus	All the games saved in the Wario-Man Super Store	This is a multiplayer mix. Players must survive by winning microgames. When all four chances of a player are gone, they lose. The last player standing wins. All players must take caution, however; other challengers can also interact with the game that somebody else is playing, making it possible to hinder other players. This game is very similar to Survival Fever from WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!

Reception[edit]

Reviews
Release	Reviewer, Publication	Score	Comment
Wii	Corbie Dillard, Nintendo Life	8/10	"If you've enjoyed WarioWare D.I.Y. and are looking to further the experience, WarioWare D.I.Y. Showcase is the perfect compliment to the already outstanding DS title. Not only are there 72 new microgames to enjoy, but the ability to upload your DS creations to your Wii and enjoy the games on your television makes this a nice alternative, especially if you're planning on sharing your microgames with other players. While you should definitely find more than enough to keep you busy in the DS retail release, it's difficult to argue against picking up this added bonus release, especially with the promise of new microgames being made available for download periodically."
Wii	Jonathan Holmes, Destructoid	8.5/10	"My two big problems with the "game" come from what it comes packed with, and what it can pack. As with D.I.Y. on the DS, D.I.Y. Showcase comes with some built-in microgames. There are 72 in all, and as with D.I.Y. DS, they're not all that great. The storage problem also comes up again. You can only store 72 games. Why so few? None of that really matters, though, because having D.I.Y. Showcase means I can play F*ck Face on the big screen. It's purely a vanity thing, but it's still amazing to hold a controller in your hand, look at your TV, and play something that came out of your own brain. That alone was worth my $8."
