Editing WarioWare (series)

The [[Nintendo 64DD]] title ''[[Mario Artist: Polygon Studio]]'' featured a side mode called "Sound Bomber" which challenged the player to survive a rapid succession of very short minigames that increased in speed and difficulty as the player progressed. According to [[Goro Abe]] of Nintendo R&D1's ''WarioWare All-Star Team'', the first ''WarioWare'' came about when the team decided to make a full game around the concept.<ref> "''In ''Polygon Studio'' you could create 3D models and animate them in the game, but there was also a side game included inside. In this game you would have to play short games that came one after another. This is where the idea for ''WarioWare'' came from.''", Goro Abe, [http://archive.videogamesdaily.com/features/ncl_nintendo_wwiv_apr06_p3.asp Kikizo: Nintendo R&D1 Interview] April 7, 2006. Video Games Daily.</ref>

"Sound Bomber" was created by [[Koichi Kawamoto]] as his first assignment at Nintendo,<ref>Brian (March 5, 2017). "[http://nintendoeverything.com/1-2-switch-producer-says-the-game-wasnt-planned-to-be-part-of-warioware-why-it-isnt-pre-installed/ 1-2-Switch producer says the game wasn’t planned to be part of WarioWare, why it isn’t pre-installed]", ''Nintendo Everything''. Retrieved August 10, 2017</ref> though Kawamoto himself was uninvolved in the ''WarioWare'' games proper beyond "Concept" and "Prototype" credits for his work on ''Polygon Studio''. Teammate [[Yoshio Sakamoto]] continued, "To add on that, we got the idea of using Wario and the other characters because we couldn't think of anyone else who would be best for the role. Wario is always doing stupid things and is really idiotic, so we thought him and the rest of the characters would be best for the game."

The original ''WarioWare'' was developed by a team of newer Nintendo staff members, some of whom had previously worked on ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. Both games shared the same director: R&D1 veteran [[Hirofumi Matsuoka]], who would leave Nintendo following the game's completion. Abe, who programmed and designed the original game, directed all later entries except for ''Snapped!''. Sakamoto, a longtime member and manager on the R&D1 team, was involved in the development of all games in the series but the first installment and ''WarioWare Gold'', and took on the role of producer starting with ''Twisted!'' Artist [[Ko Takeuchi]] designed Wario's biker outfit and created the original characters that appear in the series.<ref name="gpara_interview">(November 21, 2005).

|'''''WarioWare: Twisted!''''' has its microgames take advantage of the Game Boy Advance's rotation sensor and rumble feature. Its plot centers around Wario and one of his friends inventing a GBA-like handheld system that only reacts when tilted around. It was the first game in the series to organize microgames around the control scheme rather than around specific aesthetic styles. This game was going to be released in Europe, but the release was canceled because the gyro sensor was erroneously believed to contain mercury.<ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/gba/puzzle/mawarumadeinwario/similar.html?mode=versions ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' review at GameSpot]</ref>{{dead link}}

Instead of the typical microgames, this particular entry features a set of sixteen more elaborate minigames (12 single-player titles and 4 multiplayer ones), as well as a capsule machine called the "[[Cluck-A-Pop]]" which can be used to unlock additional content. ''Game & Wario'' also introduces a new artistic direction, under which most characters are slightly redesigned.
