![]() It’s very very fast paced and really tests your concentration skills I would definitely memorize which microgames use touch, motion, and buttons before attempting to get a high score on this one. Split Screen is challenging as well, pushing you to complete microgame after microgame on both the top and bottom screen on the 3DS, not letting you take any kind of break between. My heart was literally jumping while I was playing this 9-Volt’s mom is terrifying and trying to play microgames while looking all around the room for visual cues was stressful as hell, but still really enjoyable. The goal is to complete as many as you can while also trying to avoid your mom, who is creepily lurking all around your room. Sneaky Gamer has you playing microgames as the Nintendo-loving 9-Volt in a dark room after your curfew. After trying out all of them at least once, I found myself really enjoying two of them, specifically ones called Sneaky Gamer and Split Screen, starring 9-Volt and Kat/Ana. After completing the main story, I looked through the index of all of the microgames and found that there were dozens of games that I still have yet to see, which led me to the challenge mode of WarioWare Gold, sporting nine different challenges for you to try out. There are 300 microgames in WarioWare Gold, which is a staggering number. Luckily, this was the one and only occurrence that really bothered me, but all of the other games seemed to work pretty well. It was a rhythm-based microgame that had me memorizing a specific pattern and then replicate it by swinging the system left and right accordingly. Also, some of the motion-controlled minigames gave me a little bit of trouble from time to time, but nothing that made me rage quit or anything, just one particular game that didn’t seem to work right. When I played the game on the train, I didn’t necessarily want to be moving my 3DS like an idiot or using a stylus, so the fact that the game lets me choose what type of microgames to play was surprisingly rad. Nintendo didn’t have to separate these microgames, it could have been way simpler for them to just have all of these minigames jumbled together, but the more I played WarioWare Gold outside of my home, the more I took the option for granted. There’s the twist league, mash league, and touch league, which gives you microgames that have you moving the 3DS around, pressing buttons, and using the touch screen, respectively. ![]() The 12 themed stages are split into three sections, based on the type of microgames that you’ll be playing. Each stage also ends in a boss minigame that might involve playing a round of baseball or defeating a boxer in the ring – Punch-Out style – but some of the boss fights were really anticlimactic compared to previous bosses in the series, which left me slightly disappointed. The voices give the cast huge personalities and truly flesh out all of the characters. Their stories are ridiculous as hell and sometimes make no sense at all, but I can’t lie, they’re super hilarious and constantly had me giggling at my 3DS. These characters have been seen in past entries but never with full voice attached to them it’s not something that I ever knew I wanted but boy has it made all of the difference. In typical WarioWare fashion, the story mode consists of playing through each character’s themed microgames and watching adorable cutscenes before and after each of them, which is probably my favorite part. Even though WarioWare Gold doesn’t bring too much new to the table when it comes to microgames, what it does do amazingly well is bring back the best of the best and creates the most robust WarioWare experience out there, while also giving the entire cast actual personalities with voice acting for the first time in the series. ![]() I’ve played each and every WarioWare game since the first one came out back in the Game Boy Advance days, so you can call me an expert when it comes to these fast-paced microgames that Wario and friends love to dish out for whatever reason.
