*''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'': ''WarioWare: Move It!'' is a successor to this game, with the Japanese name of ''WarioWare: Move It!'' (''Chō Odoru Meido in Wario'', "Super Dancing Made in Wario") being based on the Japanese name of ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' (''Odoru Meido in Wario'', "Dancing Made in Wario"). The microgames in ''WarioWare: Move It!'' are again controlled with motion controls via [[Form_Baton#Forms|Forms]]; in particular, the simultaneous usage of one controller in each hand is similar to the microgames in Orbulon's stage in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''. Wario's stage is visually similar, involving him running away from a threat after acquiring the artifacts around which the game is centered. Many microgame graphic styles are similar to this game's, often involving simplistic and rough 3D models, environments and texturing. Several microgame music pieces from this game are rearranged. The final boss is a version of [[Wario Dance Company (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Wario Dance Company]] and involves similar looking characters, gameplay and dance steps. [[Megagame Muscles]] replicates the gameplay of the [[Kelorometer]] game mode.
