Beans, referred to as veggies in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, are falling objects that appear in Pyoro, Pyoro 2, Bird, and Super Pyoro minigames. The first of these games appears in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, Bird & Beans and WarioWare Gold, the second is only in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! and Bird & Beans, the third is in Game & Wario, and the fourth is in WarioWare Gold. Beans appear from the top of the screen and slowly fall down. If a bean hits a foothold, both the bean and the foothold are destroyed. In most Pyoro minigames, Pyoro can use his tongue to eat beans and earn points. More points are gained if the bean is higher in the air when it is caught by the tounge. In Pyoro 2, Pyoro has to shoot seeds to break beans and earn points. More points are gained if more beans are hit in the same shot. If a bean hits Pyoro, the game is lost.

In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, vegetables are not allowed to fall in the 1st and 20th column of either Pyoro or Pyoro 2.[1] However, there are invisible walls in the middle of those columns, so Pyoro cannot hide from vegetables using this property. In WarioWare Gold's Pyoro and Super Pyoro, these special qualities are removed. Pyoro can walk into those columns but beans can also fall there.

Aside from regular beans, Special Beans also appear: When eaten or shot down, white beans summon a single Tenshi, who replaces a gap created by a shattered foothold with a new foothold. Flashing beans are similar, in that they cause up to ten Tenshi to do the same for the same number of footholds. Eating or shooting down a flashing bean also destroys all falling beans currently on the screen. The destruction happens over a short period of time.

In Super Pyoro, beans that fall past the blocks and land on the Touch Screen transform into a different type of bean that rises from the Touch Screen on the top of a growing beanstalk. These beans do not hurt Pyoro or break footholds, and are worth double the points when eaten. They are also immune to the effects of a flashing bean, because they are not falling. When a bean on a beanstalk gets eaten, the beanstalk stops growing and soon withers away, shrinking to the Touch Screen and vanishing. When a bean on a beanstalk is hit by falling bean, both beans get destroyed and the beanstalk also stops before withering away. Normal beans become yellow beans. White beans and flashing beans become star beans. When Pyoro eats star beans, they additionally turn him into Super Pyoro for a short time. This grants him increased size, invincibility, and allows his tongue to grab beans without having to retract. Pyoro can climb up beanstalks, but as long as their bean is onscreen he is unable to climb past the bean. In the sky section of the game, regular beans and red beans scroll across conveyor belts. These beans do not fall down. Red beans give double the points of regular beans.

Beans, exclusively of the normal variety, are present in the microgame Bird & Beans from WarioWare: D.I.Y. and WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase. The goal of the microgame is to eat a bean. The beans in this microgame fall in such a way that they never land on the footholds or Pyoro.
