Best WarioWare Games Of All Time

Played the GBA one to death back in the day. Used to watch my friends bet on whos gonna beat their records. So simple and fun.

Interesting that the first entry is the best one. Played the first WarioWare immediately as it arrived on the switch NSO. It is so addictive and so fun. It’s mindless stupidity at its finest form, in the best way. You never quite know what to expect from a game with 200 microgames. I played a quick fire round of WarioWare last night, and I still found microgames I hadn’t played yet!

Edit: play a round of WarioWare without rewind. It’s harder than it looks!

I understand that this is based on user rankings on this site, but Gold is effectively Touched+Twisted+Mega Microgames in one package.
For me, it is clearly the best.

I'm glad that Mega Microgame$ is first! I play it once in a while on Wii U virtual console. Don't have the NSO but when I do I will play that first! I never knew there was 11 WarioWare games! When I get a 3ds I'll probably play GOLD!

Uh, the entry description calls WarioWare: Get it Together "the best entry in the franchise to date" but it's placed 8th in 11?

@Bobb Came here to say the exact same thing lol. It’s also far from the best entry anyway, as the ranking itself states.

Also, I’m shocked that Mega Party Game$! and Smooth Moves are so low, when they by far had the best multiplayer experiences. In my mind, the former is just a vastly enhanced version of Mega Microgame$! too, which is ranked #1 here, so I’m putting this down to less people having played the GameCube instalment.

@Markiemania95 Smooth Moves makes a great party game where you quickly pass the controller to the next player!

@Markiemania95

Eh, although I enjoyed the GCN entry, I see the WarioWare series as single-player first, multiplayer second, leading me to prefer the GBA version. I definitely love the modes on the GCN (Get It Together doesn’t feel as strong comparatively), but it felt too easy to beat newcomers who weren’t familiar with the micro games. As a result, it wasn’t the go-to party game I wish it was.

WarioWare Gold is the best one.

And as others have pointed out, the description of WW:GiT at #8 makes no sense.

@Bobb Seems to be because they used the community ranking average to order them, but they used their own “final verdict” section of the site’s review to describe the title.

It works a lot of the time but in this case… not so much haha.

@Solomon_Rambling @DwaynesGames @Markiemania95 Smooth Moves is by far my favorite. It might not be objectively the best, but it's been one heck of a party game in my household for years.

@Altaria_97 Thank you for the clarification, I appreciate it!

@Solomon_Rambling The GCN version has the single-player portion intact though.

Get it Together is a bit low - while the character switching makes for a pretty poor multiplayer experience that kind of ruins the accessibility WarioWare is supposed to have, in a single player context it makes for a really fun and chaotic experience, and the mechanics are actually introduced properly there. I'd definitely rank it above the 2 main DS games

I'd definitely put Gold on top myself.

Also no way I'd put the Gamecube game that high. It was the first one I played and for years it scared me off of playing the series further.

Only played the original GBA one out of all of these myself (though definitely plan on grabbing the DS titles, Smooth Moves and Get It Together before the year is out) and would personally rank it much lower. Yes, the microgames feel great to play and I've certainly replayed it a bunch since it came to NSO....but you could say that about pretty much all WarioWare games and it's brought down considerably by just looking....kind of ugly? Much less visually appealing than later entries to me at least.

Despite that though, it's still a very fun game and it's made me very excited to play through said later entries at some point. Happy 20th Warioware: your microgames are still more stable than most AAA releases these days XD

@Markiemania95

I haven’t touched the game in over a decade, so I apologize for forgetting about the single-player side of things. If I recall correctly, however, wasn’t the single-player content not fully ported? I definitely don’t recall being able to play Pyoro on the GCN version.

Get It Together was a massive disappointment after WarioWare Gold. Its ranking on this list is well deserved.

Good list, but I would whack Twisted at the top. It's such an awesome game - fun, inventive and an essential GBA game to own.

@Ralizah I agree I didn't even bother to try badly to 100 percent it. Gold is my no 1 Wario.

@Solomon_Rambling I’m sure all of the microgames were ported, but yeah, I think some of the subgames may have been lost in transition.

@bones Gold was my second WarioWare after Smooth Moves. So much content. I'm looking forward to playing the GBA entries soon, though I'm not expecting them to top Gold.

Yeah, Mega Micro Game$ is definitely my favorite in the series, with D.I.Y. my second favorite. I haven't played Mega Party Game$, Smooth Moves, D.I.Y. Showcase, or Snapped!...but I fairly enjoyed the WarioWare series myself and while I'm never opposed to more games, I do hope we get another Wario Land eventually.

I'm glad the first one is first. It remained my favorite after all these years. It's simple but fun, it was extremely fresh, and it had the most fleshed out side-games, and there were tons of them.
Gold would be my second favorite I guess. But Smooth Moves is up there with its multiplayer.

@somnambulance I guess because the games were kind of less random - you controlled a small character in literally every single one, and they all had to be beatable with the moves of any character.
But I kind of agree with you, it worked surprisingly well, and it's great fun.

I agree with #1. Mega Microgames still holds up after all these years and other installments

How in the world does the GameCube one rank so low? One of the best multiplayer games out there!!!

WarioWare D. I. Y. is the only one that lets you make Dangeresque jump off a roof, so it wins by default.

WarioWare Inc. Mega Microgames is a classic. Easily the best collection of microgames in the franchise.

I agree the GBA games are the best, but I would place Twist number 1.

I have a very soft spot for GBA in my heart. It's my childhood, so whenever it's appreciated, I'm happy.

The Switch title is amazing: full of little details, content, unlockables. I spent 50 hours with it, it deserves at least the 4th spot. Not all the characters were good, but i always had fun with it

I really liked Get It Together, but I agree with otehrs that Gold it the best. It's essentially the first three all in one!

Warioware on Gamecube and GBA are my favorites.
I tried the demo WarioWare: Get it Together. it was alright, i'll have to get the full game later.

@Ralizah Agreed. I super wanted a WarioWare game on my Switch (at the time), but Get It Together! was not what I signed up for. Without a doubt my least favorite game in the series, despite having not played Mega Party Game$, Smooth Moves, D.I.Y. Showcase, or Snapped.

The characters feature was a neat idea, but it was faulty in execution, especially given that getting high scores is all a matter of luck and/dealing with "bad rolls" that do not work in the series' gameplay formula, in my opinion; the only time this idea actually worked was in Variety Pack mode, which wasn't much to write to the missus for either.

Gold isn’t at #1? And mega microgames is!? Weird, gold is all that mega microgames is but better.

I would rank Get it together higher and DIY lower.

Who are the people ranking the handheld ones so high? It's a party game, play it properly

WarioWare DIY is OBVIOUSLY the best as it is the only game to get a 100% review - from NGamer magazine. Yes.

WarioWare Touched is my personal favourite. Spent far too many hours chuckling at it back in the day.

I miss DIY, wished it would get a sequel or something, with less limitations and more/better features and all that. If only they could do the same with Rhythm Heaven, ah well...

WarioWare Gold wins by default for me. It has the most microgames, compiles several of the best throughout the series' history, adds plenty of solid new ones to the mix, brings back several of the side games, revamps Gamer (the best part of Game & Wario) by giving 5-Volt creative new ways to sneak up on you and having tons more microgames you can play during it, utilizes the 3DS touch screen and gyro controls, voice acting... it's almost a perfect collection, and I'd buy it again on Switch in a heartbeat. The only downside is that I wish I could change the music to make songs like Ashley's Theme play during actual gameplay instead of just listening to them from a sound test menu. I'm also not a big fan of the character redesigns.

The best original WarioWare would be Smooth Moves, followed by Touched. The series is at its best when it takes advantage of gimmicky control styles, which I can't say about any other franchise. I don't remember enough about Twisted to say where I would rank it, as I've played that one the least. Hope it comes to NSO since we're getting Tilt 'N' Tumble. Get It Together was underwhelming to me.

I agree on the top 3 here wholeheartedly, but Mega Party Games, Smooth Moves, and Game & Wario are all much higher on my list cause the multiplayer modes are just SO DARN FUN.

@Big_Fudge The multiplayer games are a lot of fun, but at its core, WarioWare is about chasing your personal best high score. That's what I care the most about, anyways.

I'm a Get It Together defender, it's my favorite WarioWare since probably Smooth Moves? I like how physics-driven many of the microgames are, and how some of them have multiple solutions. The multiple characters makes getting flowers genuinely fun, the whole package has a ridiculous amount of polish, and I'd argue the soundtrack is one of the best in the series.

My TOP 3.

#1. WarioWare, Inc: Mega Party Game$! (GCN)
This game is the WarioWare (GBA), but much more muscular, with the best multiplayer modes ever made.

#2. WarioWare Get it Together (Switch)
This game is an EPIC multiplayer experience. The multiplayer modes are incredible. The coop story mode has infinite replay value. This is the most complete WarioWare. Why did I put him second? Because it lacked the multiplayer modes of the GC version, which are unbeatable. The ONLINE Wario Cup competition is amazing!

#3. WarioWare INC GBA. One of the best GBA games all time.

I am one of those shameful people who have only played WarioWare: Get It Together on Nintendo Switch... For some reason, I had never experienced a WarioWare game before that point, and I didn't play it for very long. It is hard for me to enjoy a game when the mini-games are so short. I have been itching to give it another try though.
