Wario's hijacked the eShop, Nintendo's Twitter account and even issued his own press release in celebration of WarioWare Gold arriving on the 3DS. Overall, it's been an effective way of reminding everyone games are still actually being released on the system.
Now, website Gaming Reinvented reports an equally as naughty dataminer has uncovered unused content in Wario's new game in the form of an early version of Penny's intro cutscene. There are a series of early sketches by the game's character designer, Ko Takeuchi, that have been improved upon as development progressed.
Here's exactly what 'Ehm' from The Cutting Room Floor found:

A video has also been released illustrating what the hand-drawn sketches look like in motion:
It's surprising how content such as this has been discovered so soon in a new release when earlier this week we heard about the existence of a beta version of Bowser's Castle in Mario Kart Wii that took a decade to reveal.
Did you pick up or download a copy of WarioWare Gold on release? Have you at least tried out the free demo? Tell us below.

Looks even better than the finished product, imo.
Anyone know who voices Penny? Sounds like Brianne Siddall, maybe Kate Higgins. The voice is extremely familiar but googling didn't help.
Penny is painfully adorable.
Tell the dataminer to find a normal job.
@Cosats That was uncalled for.
@Cosats I'd be suprised if this was their job...
@Kimyonaakuma @Cosats Agreed, it’s highly doubtful that this user looks like a dwarf, carrying a pickaxe while singing “Hi-Ho”. Some people actually have hobbies they enjoy.
It kinda looks better in the sketch style without the thick lines and even bigger heads.
The Bowser Track has been known for years. What's new is that someone made it playable.
@Cosats A normal person can have both a job and a hobby.
Got this on release day last week (UK release) and i wasn't disappointed. A real swan song for the system and a fantastic greatest hits collection. My only criticism is that it wasn't a Switch game.
@BladedKnight How can anyone forget the all time classic Minecraft Story Mode Season 1 and Season 2 (I believe Season 2 is coming out within the next two weeks)
I like the cutscenes in the game. I kind of wish there was like a Wario webseries or something now.
It took a while but the WarioWare game for 3DS is the best WarioWare game ever. A must-have for any 3DS owner.
@Cosats Please tell me this doesn't actually upset you. Lol come on now.
The final cutscene is on YouTube in full, but I also found the unused one in Italian, too! https://youtu.be/TWvDXjzh7x8
Releasing a new WarioWare game on 3DS instead of Switch......such a facepalm move, Nintendo.
@Prizm Most of the features included wouldn't even work on the Switch. We'll get a Warioware game on the Switch eventually, be patient.
That's adorable!
This is about the only reason to own a 2DS as trying to tilt any DS with a hinged screen will cause it to wobble.
Cool find.
@TeeJay It does.
Warioware is just one of those franchises that works perfectly as a budget title (twenty dollar range) and becomes impossible to fully enjoy as a full price game. I love these games, but I can't drop fifty bucks CAD on a three hour collection of games I've already played, no matter how charming and silly the presentation may be.
@FTPinkRabbit That's probably why I saw "used" copies on sales websites for 25€ last week already.
