WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! is a super fun video game for the Game Boy Advance. It's known as Made in Wario in Japan and WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania in Europe. This exciting game was made by Nintendo.

It first came out in Japan on March 21, 2003. Soon after, it was released in Europe on May 23, 2003, and in North America on May 26, 2003. Players in Australia got to play it starting June 6, 2003. This game is special because it's the very first one in the popular WarioWare series!

What Are Microgames?

In WarioWare, Inc., you play lots of tiny games called "microgames." These games are super fast! They usually last only a few seconds. Your goal is to figure out what to do and complete the game quickly.

Before each microgame starts, you'll see a quick hint. This hint is a word or phrase that helps you understand the task. For example, you might need to:

  • Shoot targets
  • Pick the right answer from a list
  • Survive until a timer runs out

You start with four chances, or "lives." If you fail a microgame, you lose one life. If you run out of lives, your game ends. The challenge is to keep up with the speed and variety of the games!

Other Versions of the Game

A new version of this game was made for the Nintendo GameCube. It was called WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$! and came out in 2003. This version let more people play together!
