![]() ![]() It’s a fun level of multitasking that keeps the player focused on everything going on, while testing their reflexes. For example, in Sneaky Gamer, my personal favorite mode in the game, while the player focuses on completing as many masher microgames as they can, they also have to make sure that 5-Volt doesn’t catch 9-Volt playing video games past his bedtime. Many of the other games in Challenge Mode give the player more to focus on than just the microgames. This mode actually brings back several games from previous entries in the series, such as Sneaky Gamer from Game & Wario and WarioWatch from WarioWare: Twisted. Upon completing the story mode, players can jump back in and play any specific characters’ set of microgames, or jump into the expansive challenge mode. There is a small additional type of microgame, blow, which utilizes the console’s built-in mic, but there are only a few of these so they typically are not given their own section. Some challenges feature a “no hint” mode while mixing up the microgames, further making the player scramble in a frenzy to complete the microgame while trying to figure out their controls, though knowing the various microgames definitely helps. Every microgame is simple enough for players to quickly understand both the goal and controls to meet it. Some sections add to the challenge by giving players a mix of microgames, changing types each round, adding to the fast-paced hectic activity. Regardless of the game mode, be it story or one of the various challenges, the microgames are typically divided into three types: mash, where players use the buttons, twist, where players tilt the console to control the microgame, and touch, where players touch the screen to interact. The game speeds up as microgames are cleared in succession, making the experience more and more fast-paced. Like previous entries in the series, the main goal of WarioWare Gold is to clear as many microgames as you can without failing too many times. The story and each of its characters are pleasant aspects of the game, though it’s the fully voice-acted story cutscenes that make its presence more entertaining. This little premise to the game, allowing for various sections of microgame themes and types run by different characters, keeps everything fun and interesting for the player. ![]() The story mode to WarioWare Gold starts with Wario treasure hunting, then upon returning home, remembering he’s so broke that he can’t even enjoy a simple “pizza time.” Luckily, a commercial for the “Smash Hit Video Game Super Pyoro ” comes on, giving Wario the perfect idea…a video game tournament in a ton of microgames. Is Wario’s newest adventure one to invest in, or should Wario stay broke this time around? Let’s find out in this review. Featuring over 300 microgames, this is the bulkiest game in the series yet. Wario and his friends are finally back in the Microgames business, this time on the Nintendo 3DS with WarioWare Gold. I’d like to give a special thanks to Nintendo of America for sending us this game to review. ![]()
