Editing Nintendo 3DS

{{construction|section=y}}

The Nintendo 3DS family of systems appears frequently in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', in a number of different roles. As the game's story is about the player playing [[microgames]], cutscenes have [[Wario]], [[Mike]], and [[Fronk]] explain how the game's control schemes using a Metallic Blue New Nintendo 3DS XL. [[Ralphie]] owns an Aqua Blue Nintendo 3DS. This system is a key item in [[18-Volt]]'s stage, as [[13-Amp]] steals it from Ralphie and 18-Volt has to defeat her in a rap battle to get it back for him. In the credits, 13-Amp holds a Nintendo 3DS of this color.

The microgame [[Stylus Hunt]] has players rotate a three-dimensional model of a Nintendo 3DS system displayed on the Touch Screen using Touch inputs to find its stylus. The microgame uses one of six different systems in a number of different colors: a Nintendo 3DS in blue or pink, a Nintendo 3DS XL in red or yellow-green, a Nintendo 2DS in pink or blue, a black New Nintendo 3DS, a Metallic Blue New Nintendo 3DS XL, and a Black + Blue New Nintendo 2DS XL. Part of the microgame's difficulty is remembering where the stylus is stored on each system, which is eased slightly because the stylus glows red or white. Additionally, the microgame [[amiibo Tap]] has the player scan an amiibo on a black New Nintendo 3DS.

An Aqua Blue Nintendo 3DS, a red Nintendo 3DS XL, a blue Nintendo 2DS, a black New Nintendo 3DS, a Metallic Blue New Nintendo 3DS XL, and a Black + Blue New Nintendo 2DS XL are [[List of souvenirs in WarioWare Gold|souvenirs]] that can be obtained in the [[Capsule Machine (WarioWare series)|Capsule Machine]]. Each one can be rotated around freely just like in the microgame. The face buttons, Circle Pad, and D-Pad swell and shrink when tapped When their Power buttons are pressed, the systems turn on and start a mode where the player plays [[List of WarioWare Gold microgames#Microgames included in the Misc. console souvenirs|three microgames on loop]], only that they are controlled by tapping their {{button|3DS|A}} buttons. Each of the systems has a different set of microgames. This mode does not track a score, unlike most other elements of ''WarioWare Gold''. Also, this mode cannot be paused. When the player gets a [[Game Over]] or uses the Power or {{button|3DS|Home}} buttons, the system turns off. Another Nintendo 3DS is a souvenier that is part of the Nintendo Collection, where the player can read descriptions of Nintendo products. Its entry additionally includes images and captions for a color swapped blue Nintendo 2DS and the three-dimensional model of the black Nintendo 3DS XL. In this souvenier, the model is rotated with the Circle Pad.
