—Agent character's dialogue, WarioWare Gold

Autograph! is a minigame in WarioWare Gold in the game's Toy Room. The player has to sign items from various people at a signing event, while trying to keep their signature as consistent as possible. Its gameplay takes place exclusively on the Touch Screen, with the the game only using Touch inputs outside of the menu. Characters and their dialogue is on the Top Screen. Dialogue, if any, is advanced by tapping the screen. Most characters, except for an agent character bookending the game, are based on designs introduced in Fruit from Game & Wario.

At the start, the agent character prompts the player player to make a practice autograph using the stylus. Once complete, the player can start the game with that signature or try again. Signatures that are too simple or too large are rejected, forcing the latter result if the player tries to proceed. Also note that this game does not have an eraser function. Then the signing event begins. Each of the ten people in the line gives the player an object one at a time, and the player has to sign them. Some of them match the initial sheet of paper that was used to decide the signature. Others are more varied, such as toilet paper rolls, T-shirts, a Nintendo 3DS-like system, manga books, or even contracts and pledges. These objects can have different proportions compared to the sheet of paper that the practice signature was done on, potentially throwing the player off. However, it should be noted that the size of the signature compared to the example does not matter, only the proportions. Once the player stops writing for long enough, the fan judges the player's work and gives a comment. If the signature written closely matches the practice one, then the item is marked with a check and the fan's comment is nicer. If the signature written is too far from the practice one, then the item is marked with an "x" and the fan's comment is meaner. The fans providing contracts and pledges snicker and appear to have devious intentions for the item. Throughout the game, the player can look at their practice signature on the Top Screen. After signing everything, a "That's all, folks!" prompt appears, and the player is given a "fan satisfaction" score; the higher the score, the more accurate the signatures made were to the practice signature. The agent character has a comment for the player that depends on how high the score is.
