 ==Overview==
-''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.
+Most ''WarioWare'' games consist of a collection of very short, simple games, called "[[microgame]]s", presented in quick succession. A microgame may, for example, require the player to pop a balloon, [[Gold Digger|pick a nose]], attack a spaceship, or make [[Wario]] collect coins in a maze styled after those in ''{{wp|Pac-Man}}''. Each microgame usually lasts about three to five seconds and failing to complete it costs the player a life, with the game ending once they lose all four lives. The microgames are split across a number of stages based on genre or category, with each stage being hosted by a different character (or group of characters), and there are also usually "remix" stages that compile the microgames from previous stages; the microgames are ordered randomly and steadily [[Speed Up!|increase in speed]] and difficulty as the player progresses, with the player's score increasing by one at the start of every microgame until they run out of lives. Boss microgames, which are longer and more complex than other microgames, appear at fixed points in stages; upon completing one of these, the player can regain a lost life (with a maximum of four). Unlike with other microgames, losing a boss microgame with at least one life remaining forces the player to retry it and does not increase their score. The first time the player plays a stage, completing the boss microgame causes them to win and ends the stage; on subsequent attempts, the stage does not end until the player runs out of lives, with an increase in difficulty after each boss microgame. In addition to the microgame stages, ''WarioWare'' games also often feature unlockable extra modes (such as the ability to play any microgame freely) and larger [[minigame]]s. Each ''WarioWare'' game often features a unique way to control its microgames, such as motion controls, touch screen and microphone controls, or controlling one of several unique characters.
-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 developers, telling about their adventures or everyday lives. These cutscenes are split into two parts, the first one shown before the developer's respective microgame stage, and the latter part appearing after the player beats the stage.

 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.

+|Kat and Ana are kindergarteners and twin sisters, distinguishable primarily by their differing hair colors (Kat's is pink while Ana's is orange). Kat is more headstrong and dominant, while Ana is timid and slightly younger than Kat.

 Because of their aforementioned love of nature, Kat & Ana's microgames are themed around it in ''Mega Microgame$!'' and ''Get It Together!'', featuring animals, plants, and natural environments. In ''D.I.Y. Showcase'', their microgames are exclusively themed around animals, while in ''Gold'', their microgames are themed around everyday activities. Their microgames in ''Twisted!'' do not require any movements to complete; in ''Touched!'', they involve the player drawing objects.
