The '''Variety Towers''', known as the '''Elephant Buildings''' in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', are a group of sidemodes found in the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series. They consist of three or four towers, each proposing a challenge to the player. They can be unlocked after beating the main mode or by completing a previous tower with a certain score. Most of these towers are provided to the player as an additional challenge, though in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', they are visited during the story when [[Wario]] and his crew are looking for [[Red (WarioWare series)|Red]], [[Master Mantis]] and [[Lulu]]. In ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'', the backgrounds are temples, instead of towers.

The intermission stage of the Variety Towers are generally the same, consisting of the inside of an elevator with the animal (or its face) on the doors, which open to reveal the microgame. If the player wins, the animal shows a happy emotion. If the player loses, the animal is angry or dazed, and a life is lost.

===All Mixed Up===
'''All Mixed Up''' (known as '''Easy''' in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', '''Skyscraper''' in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', and '''Monster Megamix''' in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'') is the first Variety Tower the player encounters. In this tower, the player has to play a series of microgames, increasing in speed and difficulty, like in the main game. While regular microgames appear, boss microgames do not, so it is impossible to earn lives. ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'' is an exception; in this version, a boss microgame appears every 100 games. As with the other towers in ''Gold'', the color changes depending on the microgame that is coming up: yellow for Mash, blue for Twist, and red for Touch. In the Ultra mode where the guide for the inputs for each microgame is removed, the colors are always black and gray with the outlines being white.

'''Super Hard''' (known as '''Hard''' in ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'' and ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'', '''Tower''' in ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', and '''Gnarly Mix''' in ''WarioWare: Touched!'') is one of the Variety Towers the player plays. Depending on the game, it can be the second, third, or final tower faced. In this tower, the microgames do not increase in difficulty. However, the game starts at a [[Speed Up!|very fast speed]], giving the player very little time to react to and complete the microgames. Prior to ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', the [[microgame]]s' music did not rise in pitch while they were sped up.

Playing as [[18-Volt]] in [[Gamer]] from ''[[Game & Wario]]'' allows access to a similar BALLOON FIGHTER mode known as '''Ultra Speed'''. Much like other incarnations of Super Hard, Ultra Speed has the player start at a very fast speed, while the microgames remain at the first difficulty level.
