'''''WarioWare, Inc. Mega Party Game$!''''', known as '''''Atsumare!! Made in Wario''''' (あつまれ!!メイド イン ワリオ ''Atsumare!! Meido in Wario'', lit. "Gather!! Made in Wario") in Japan, is a game for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and the second installment of the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. It reuses all the [[microgames]] from the original game ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', but ''Mega Party Game$!'' focuses on multiplayer in particular. It comes with eight special multiplayer modes for up to four players that all involve the known microgames in some way. While it includes a few new modes, the single player mode is heavily reduced and doesn't feature the unlockable mini-games from the predecessor. ''Mega Party Game$'' and the later release, ''[[WarioWare: Snapped!]]'' are the only ''WarioWare'' games without plots and story-themed stages.

When all hearts are gone, the game will end. When the player beaten the last microgame, the Boss Stage, the stage is cleared and a extra heart will be awarded.

In ''Record'' mode, the player tries to win the microgame as much as possible. When the player won enough microgames, they will be awarded with a flower.

If the player wins all the microgames, they win all the cards on the pile. If the player loses one microgame, they lose all the cards in the pile and all the cards they have previously won. All those cards will go to a pile on the right of the screen. If a player has cards,  background players could steal cards by pressing {{button|gcn|A}} repeatedly during a microgame.

After seeing the success of ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', [[Satoru Iwata]] requested the development team to port the game to the [[Nintendo GameCube]] "as soon as possible."<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/ds/dsi/4/0 Iwata Asks: WarioWare: Snapped]</ref>. To help with development, [[Goro Abe]] enlisted the help of [[Taku Sugioka]], a talented programmer he knew at [[Intelligent Systems]]. The game was developed in six months<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/ds/diy/0/0 Iwata Asks: WarioWare; D.I.Y]</ref>

The game received generally favorable reviews from critics. {{wp|IGN}} gave the game a 7.5 out 10 stating it as a "fun multiplayer game that suffers from a bad case of deja joue". {{wp|GameFAQs}} gave the game a 7.5 out of 10. {{wp|Metacritic}} gave the game a 76 out of 100 based on 46 reviews. {{wp|Eurogamer}}'s Kristan Reed gave the game a 7 out of 10 saying that "You've got to fight! For your right! To paaaaaaaaaaarty!"

The game was a coproduction between [[Nintendo R&D 1]] and [[Intelligent Systems]], a collaboration that would continue for most subsequent ''WarioWare'' games. A large portion of ''Mega Party Game$!'''s staff had previously worked on [[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]. Programmer [[Goro Abe]] was promoted to Director position, a role which he would continue to assume for most ''WarioWare'' sequels.

The game was one of [[Nintendo R&D 1]]'s last releases before its dissolution.
