'''''WarioWare: Snapped!''''' is a [[DSiWare]] game for the [[Nintendo DSi]], and is part of the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series of games. The game was revealed at a financial briefing by [[Nintendo]] on October 31, 2008. ''WarioWare: Snapped!'' was released as a launch title for the price of 500 Nintendo Points.

The game was revealed at a financial briefing by [[Nintendo]] on October 31, 2008. ''WarioWare: Snapped!'' was released as a launch title for the price of 500 Nintendo Points. ''WarioWare: Snapped!'' and the past release ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'' are the only ''WarioWare'' games that do not have plots and story-themed stages. The game requires 77 [[Memory Card|blocks]] (9.85 MB) to be installed. | ||
It is the only ''WarioWare'' game released prior to ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' to not have any of its microgames appear in ''Gold''. | |||

As with previous ''WarioWare'' installments, ''WarioWare: Snapped!'' uses a special control scheme. The Nintendo DSi's built-in camera is used to create a silhouette of the player in the microgames. During the game, the Nintendo DSi is placed on a flat surface. To ensure that the player is at an ideal distance from the DSi, the player has to put their head and hand to match the respective outlines on the screen. In the microgames, the player must perform certain movements to win the games, such as grabbing coins with the hands, opening the mouth to eat food or catching an object with the head. At the end of a stage, photos of the player that were made during the won microgames are put into a humorous slide show. | As with previous ''WarioWare'' installments, ''WarioWare: Snapped!'' uses a special control scheme.

In comparison to its predecessors, ''WarioWare: Snapped!'' has a much smaller amount of content. Only twenty different microgames are available which all allow for a considerable amount of time. There are neither different difficulty levels nor increasing speed.

Only twenty different microgames are available which all allow for a considerable amount of time. There are neither different difficulty levels nor increasing speed. The game features four different stages which are hosted by Wario, Mona, Jimmy T. and Kat & Ana, respectively. Each stage includes five microgames that appear in random order. While fifteen of the microgames are designed for one player, two players have to act in Kat & Ana's stage. | ||

There are four different slide shows unique to the character. Wario animates the player's actions, Mona and Kat & Ana add stylish decorations to the player and Jimmy T. puts the photos into a comic strip. However, the slide shows cannot be saved. | ||
Additionally, the game's staff credits appear as a mini-game where the player has to steer a line of roller coaster cars through the space. They must collect the occupation terms and the letters of the staff members to score points. The high score of the mini-game cannot be saved, either. | Additionally, the game's staff credits appear as a mini-game where the player has to steer a line of roller coaster cars through the space.

===Technical errors=== | |||
The roller coaster rides will not start if the game cannot tell the player's face and the background of the player's room apart. | |||
If the player does not align to start a microgame for 60 seconds, the screen turns red with the text "WARNING" appearing on-screen before the game kicks the player out of the stage while displaying the message, "''Breakdown! Your silhouette wasn't recognized. Please check the instruction manual and ensure your play environment is suitable for the game.''" followed by an "OK" button to exit the stage. | |||
If the system is closed, the game will return to the game's main menu. The same happens if, while the game is played on a [[Nintendo 3DS]], the player presses the {{button|3DS|Home}} button and then presses {{button|3DS|B}} or "Cancel", which will also cause the game to recognise that the system had been closed. | |||
