'''Long Lost Love''' is a [[microgame]] that appears in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' as one of [[Orbulon]]'s microgames found in the [[List of WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! microgames#IQ|IQ]] folder (where it was originally known as '''Maze Daze'''), and later in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' as one of [[Dribble & Spitz]]'s microgames found in the [[List of WarioWare Gold microgames#Fantasy|Fantasy]] set from the [[List of WarioWare Gold microgames#Mash League|Mash League]].

==Gameplay==
The player controls a ballerina in a black maze. The walls of the maze are white. The objective of the game is to get the ballerina over to her partner. The maze is a grid; the lines dividing the squares of the grid are invisible. The ballerina moves in the direction the {{button|GBA|pad}} is pressed if she is in the center of a grid square. Holding a direction is allowed.

Mazes in the 2nd level difficulty and 3rd level difficulty have one or more pairs of molecule transferring units. Molecule transferring units are shapes with a rainbow pattern that repeatedly scrolls from the inside to the outside. When a molecule transferring unit is entered, the ballerina appears at the other molecule transferring unit of the same shape. Some mazes have sections fully divided from the area the player can move to directly by walls. These mazes require that the player use molecule transferring units to advance. Some mazes use molecule transferring units as decoys, in that the maze can be completed without teleporting. In some cases, the molecule transferring units lead to dead ends.

*'''1st level difficulty:''' There are no molecule transferring units in the maze.
*'''2nd level difficulty:''' There are two circular molecule transferring units in the maze,
*'''3rd level difficulty:''' There are four molecule transferring units, two of which are circles and two of which are triangles, in the maze.

In ''WarioWare Gold'', the microgame has been rethemed. The maze is brown but the walls remain white. The molecule transferring units are all depicted as spiral shapes that turn counter clockwise. They have differing colors, the characteristic that determines which determines which ones lead to each other.  The colors are blue, replacing circles, and purple, replacing triangles. The characters are a princess and a prince (named [[Long-Lost Love]] and Distant Darling, respectively, in the [[Wario Kard]] mode), recurring characters in the game who also appear in [[Rocky Reunion]], [[Tearful Reunion]], [[Love Tester (microgame)|Love Tester]]  and [[Hookin' Up]]. If they meet each other, they fly away in a rocket and a constellation representing both characters fills the screen. There are three different constellations, one for each level of the microgame.

*The minigame MAZE from ''[[Mario Artist: Polygon Studio]]'' serves as a direct precursor and inspiration to what would eventually become the Maze Daze microgame.
