''WarioWare'' is a collection of short, simple games, called "[[microgame]]s," presented in quick succession. Each of the microgames lasts about three to five seconds and failing to complete it costs the player a life. The games may seem simple; for instance, a microgame may require the player to pop a balloon, [[Gold Digger|pick a nose]], zap a spaceship, or make Wario collect coins in a maze styled after those in ''{{wp|Pac-Man}}''. The numerous microgames are linked together randomly and steadily increase in speed and difficulty as the player progresses. On each level, players are allowed four losses only. Also frequently appearing are boss games, which are considerably longer and more complex than the other stages; upon completing these, the player can regain a lost life (with a maximum of four). In addition to the microgame stages, ''WarioWare'' games also feature unlockable extra modes and "full" minigames. | ''WarioWare'' is a collection of short, simple games, called "[[microgame]]s," presented in quick succession.

The plots of these games center on Wario, his company WarioWare, Inc., and his friends in [[Diamond City]] who develop microgames for his company. Because of his greed, Wario usually refuses to pay his friends, despite the high success of the games. Most games in the series include short stories in the form of cutscenes dedicated to each of the characters, depicting their adventures or everyday lives. These cutscenes are usually split into two parts, the first one shown at the start of the developer's microgame stage and the second appearing after the player beats the stage. | The plots of these games center on Wario, his company WarioWare, Inc., and his friends in [[Diamond City]] who develop microgames for his company.
