'''''WarioWare, Inc. Mega Party Game$!''''' is a game for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and the second installment of the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]] following ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. It reuses all of the [[microgame]]s from ''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 does not 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. | '''''WarioWare, Inc.
