The first in what would become a spinoff series off of the Wario Land games. Instead of treasure hunting, Wario aims to make as any games possible, but each are only five seconds long. The challenge for the player is thus to beat these micro games as they become increasingly faster.
Story
Wario sees how much money video games are making recently and so starts his own video game company- Warioware, Inc. But making games isn't easy, so he recruits his various friends from Diamond City to help make as many games as possible.
Gameplay
The main part of this game is a series of microgames - super-quick minigames that require split-second timing. The microgames usually require pressing buttons at the right moment, button-mashing or quick moving. Such examples can include guiding a finger into a nose or making Link walk into a cave.
In the game you can play the microgames of all nine developers as you watch their own seperate stories unfold. Each developer has a different kind of microgame, and these developers are Jimmy T. (sports and remixes of others' microgames), 9-Volt (microgames based on classic Nintendo games), Mona (strange and bizarre), Dribble and Spitz (sci-fi), Dr. Crygor (reality), Orbulon (IQ games), Kat and Ana (nature-related microgames) and Wario himself (Microgames somehow involving Wario). Each developers' "levels" consist of several rounds of random microgames from their respective inventories.
The game also has unlockable minigames, including two from other games. There is Dr. Wario (a version of Dr. Mario), Sheriff and Fly Swatter (formerly called "Gnat Attack", originally from Mario Paint). These include some two-player minigames.
Sequels
The game was considered a hit and quickly followed up with the Gamecube game WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!. The Gamecube game however was little more than a port that only added the element of multiplayer.
WarioWare games since then have played off the theme of using some sort of gimmick as the backbone of the game. WarioWare: Twisted! used a tilt sensor, WarioWare: Touched! used the touch screen from the Nintendo DS, and WarioWare: Smooth Moves took advantage of the Wii Controller's multitude of abilities.
Ports
The Paper Plane mini-game is available for download on the DSiWare for 200 points. Also available is Bird & Beans, a combination of both the Pyoro games, also for 200 points.
