'''''WarioWare: D.I.Y.''''' is the seventh game in the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. The game is officially called '''''WarioWare: Do It Yourself''''' in European languages, but the ''"D.I.Y."'' abbreviation is still included everywhere in the game and also present on the game's logo. The game was confirmed on October 2 at the Fall 2008 Nintendo Conference, where a very short video clip was shown. The American release was first announced at E3 2009.<ref>{{cite|date=December 14, 2009|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20091216071857/http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=21389|title= NINTENDO UNVEILS ITS VIDEO GAME LINEUP FOR EARLY 2010|location=Redmond|publisher=Nintendo of America|accessdate=June 30, 2024}}</ref> The European release date was first announced at Nintendo's European conference on January 25, 2010.

''WarioWare: D.I.Y.'' is the second ''WarioWare'' game for the Nintendo DS, and it allows the player to create their own [[microgame]]s, [[Record (WarioWare: D.I.Y.)|records]], and comics, hence the title (''D.I.Y.'' is short for ''"Do It Yourself"''). The content could be shared via the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], up until the service's termination on May 20, 2014.
'''''WarioWare: D.I.Y.''''' is a title in the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. The game is known as '''''Made in Ore''''' (メイド イン 俺 ''Meido in Ore'', lit. "Made in Me") in Japan. In Europe, the game is officialy called '''''WarioWare: Do It Yourself''''', but the game's logo still uses ''D.I.Y.'' in the title. It was confirmed on October 2 at the Fall 2008 Nintendo Conference, where are very short footage was shown. The game was released on April 29, 2009 in Japan for the [[Nintendo DS]]. A North American release was first announced at E3 2009 and is dated for March 28, 2010.<ref>[http://press.nintendo.com/articles.jsp?id=21389 Press.Nintendo.com]: Nintendo Unveils Its Video Game Lineup For Early 2010 (12/14/2009)</ref>. The European release date was first announced at Nintendo's European conference on January 25, 2010.
==Storyline==
At his home, [[Dr. Crygor]] is dreaming that he is playing a video game, up to a point where the characters of the game come out of the TV screen and fly toward him. Crygor wakes up and, inspired by his nightmare, creates a game-creation device named the [[Super MakerMatic 21]]. The next morning, [[Wario]] comes in with a broken TV and demands that Dr. Crygor fixes it, before noticing the Super MakerMatic 21 production line. He mistakes them for TV sets and asks to do a trade, but after Dr. Crygor explains to him its function, Wario is convinced it is his next opportunity to become rich.


Sometime before the events of the game, several [[WarioWare, Inc.]] employees left the company to work for competitor [[Diamond Software]], causing Wario to hire the player as a game creator.
The second ''WarioWare'' game for the Nintendo DS allows the player to create his or her own [[microgame]]s, music and comics, hence the title. The content can be shared via the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].<ref>[http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3173648 1UP.com]: Make Your Own WarioWare Games (04/08/2009)</ref>

[[File:WorkingAtWarioWare.jpg|220px|thumb|left|The making of a microgame where [[Face Finder|the player has to find a specific person in a crowd.]]]]
The player is able to make own graphics, music and logic routines for his or her microgames. The tools for creating the artwork are partly taken from ''[[Mario Paint]]'', and even the respective graphics resemble the visuals of the named game. Furthermore, ''D.I.Y.'' offers the possibility to create comics.
''WarioWare D.I.Y'' is focused on {{wp|user-generated content}}. The player can make graphics, records, and logic routines for their microgames. The tools for creating the artwork are partly taken from ''[[Mario Paint]]'', and even the respective graphics resemble the visuals of the named game. Furthermore, ''D.I.Y.'' offers the possibility to create comics or records.
<br clear=all>
 
Before being able to use the editing tools, the player has to go through a six-step tutorial (named "D.I.Y 101") explaining the basics of the interface and the editor's programming syntax. Further lessons are available.
 
The tools for graphical editing include different pencil tools, a spray can, a fill tool, and an eraser. They are used for both background elements, and sprites, which can be easily placed and moved around. The game allows the programming of logic routines to define the game's rules. The editor is restricted to tapping motions for input, as the development team wanted to keep content creation simple.<ref>{{cite|author=Brian|date=March 17, 2010|url=nintendoeverything.com/sakamoto-discusses-metroid-other-m-and-warioware-d-i-y|title=Sakamoto discusses ''Metroid: Other M'' and ''WarioWare: D.I.Y.''|publisher=Nintendo Everything|language=en|accessdate=June 30, 2024}}</ref>
 
[[File:WarioWareDIY-Music.png|thumb|120px|The music creation tool.]]
Music can be made as well. The respective tool is similar to the Music Mode of ''Mario Paint''. Instead of manually placing the notes on the music score, the player can also sing through the DS's microphone, which the DS then converts into the notes. Many of the instruments usable for the created melody originate from ''Mario Paint''. The premade sound effects are partly taken from ''Mario Paint'' as well.
 
Players can send their creations to other ''D.I.Y.'' owners or receive other people's works. Before the discontinuation of the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], they could also be uploaded to Nintendo for contest purposes. Microgames made available by Nintendo were also available for download. Additionally, ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'' allows the player to play the microgames on the [[Wii]].
 
===Pre-built content===
Ninety premade microgames are available from the beginning. They are split into five different sets hosted by different WarioWare characters. The microgames are made with the in-game creation tool and thus are more simplistic than those in previous installments, featuring one difficulty level instead of three and a varying number of alternate scenarios. Microgame sets are unlocked based on the DS's internal clock, with one character being unlocked per day. As the editor is restricted to tapping motions, the microgames are grouped by visual theme, similar to ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]''
 
In addition to microgames, the game also features several pre-built comics and music records. Comics, much like microgames, are unlocked based on the system's internal clock while records are unlocked by obtaining any of the 120 [[List of medals in WarioWare: D.I.Y.|medals]] linked to in-game milestones. However, because [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] is now unavailable, it is no longer possible to obtain medals 104 to 114 due to them being related to online interactions.

===Content ID===
Every piece of content in ''WarioWare: D.I.Y.'' contains an ID consisting of a single letter describing the type of material, four letters identifying the creator, a four-digit number that is unique to that material, and a three-digit number.
 
The first letter of the ID identifies the type of material as follows:
*'''G''': Microgames
*'''M''': Comics
*'''R''': Records
While the next four letters vary depending on creator, these are the following based on built-in content:
*'''MONA''': [[Mona]]
*'''JIMM''': [[Jimmy T]]
*'''ASHL''': [[Ashley]]
*'''ORBU''': [[Orbulon]]
*'''NINE''': [[9-Volt]]
Comic creators also have their own ID codes:
*'''SIRI''': Kotobuki Shiriagari
*'''ISAM''': Isami Nakagawa
*'''SEKA''': Sekaiichi Asakura
*'''AMAH''': Masakazu Amahisa
*'''BETU''': Rei Betsuyaku
If the player imports games from ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'', their creators have their own unique codes as well:
*'''WARI''': [[Wario-Man]]
*'''DRIB''': [[Dribble & Spitz]]
*'''KATA''': [[Kat & Ana]]
*'''EIGH''': [[18-Volt]]
 
==Modes==
The game is divided into 5 sections:

==Game Blender==
90 premade microgames are already available from the beginning. They are split into five different sets hosted by different WarioWare employees. Similar to the [[WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania|first game]] in the series, each set is based around a certain theme.
{{main|List of WarioWare: D.I.Y. microgames}}
[[File:GameBlender.png|frame|Game Blender]]
The Game Blender serves as the game's menu for playing stages of microgames with either pre-built microgames, the player's microgames or a mixture of both. It is found in the Games room of the [[D.I.Y. Shop]].


===Diamond Software===
== Story Sequences ==
{{main|Diamond Software}}
As indicated above, here are five characters that have their own Micro-Games, thus an own stage as well. Each has a different story. When actually cleared the stages, mixed stages can be unlocked.
[[File:DiamondSoftware.png|float]]
===Microgames made by Wario's crew===
Games under this category are made by former members of Wario's crew, working under the brand name of [[Diamond Software]]. Each character's stage consists of 18 microgames with a common theme, and a story presented like a television program. Unlike previous ''WarioWare'' titles, stages do not end after clearing the boss microgame on the first playthrough, and the player must wait 24 hours after clearing a stage's target to unlock the next one. Encountering a Diamond Software microgame in the Game Blender adds it to the D.I.Y. Shop, which allows the player to play it individually, as well as view, import, and edit it with the [[Super MakerMatic 21]]. The microgame sets are listed as follows:

After the rocket discharges all of its sections, Orbulon falls back to earth. While not shown in-game, Orbulon's story is entitled ''Orbulon's Blastoff'' on the European website.
|[[Ken the Reporter]] talks in the Diamond News, that that day, a rocket ship will launch in a short time, while counting from ten to zero for liftoff, Orbulon flew with his [[Oinker]] around the rocket ship, but by a random thunderbolt hitting the Oinker, Orbulon fell out, and got stuck in the rocket ship.

=== The Wario Award Contest ===
[[File:WarioWantsYouToMakeGames.jpg|thumb|"''I WANT '''YOU''' TO CREATE GAMES.''"<br>This poster announced the first official contest for ''WarioWare: D.I.Y.'' in the U.S. and Canada. The poster is a homage to a popular {{wp|World War I}} [[commons:File:Unclesamwantyou.jpg|propaganda poster]] created by {{wp|James Montgomery Flagg|J.M. Flagg}}.]]
A special contest known as ''The Wario Award Contest'' (also called ''The Wario Awards'', ''Join the Warios'' or just ''The Warios'') was held in conjunction with the North American version's release and was related to the first American design challenges. It ran from March 28 to May 16, 2010 and was open to residents of the United States and Canada (except Quebec). The contest was first announced through a print ad. Participants had the chance to win a trip to the Nintendo E3 Media Briefing in Los Angeles.


Players had to design a microgame using a theme of creatures, sports, or machines. When finished, the game had to be submitted within ''WarioWare: D.I.Y.'' for the respective design challenge. Afterwards, the player had to fill out the fields of the form at the official website as previously entered on the game screen to finish the entry. It was also possible to submit a microgame design concept via the game's website without owning the game by filling out the other form.
== Downloadable Microgames ==
Players can download microgames offered by Nintendo via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. They are split into three categories: Games uploaded regularly every week, games made by famous people and games created by ''D.I.Y.'' owners for [[#Contests|contests]] (see below).

==Staff==
=== Big Name Games ===
{{main|List of WarioWare: D.I.Y. staff}}
Unlike the regularly uploaded games, the microgames created by famous people are only available for a limited time in most cases. The following table includes all people who have created at least one microgame for Nintendo that can be downloaded and names the release date of their games. The fifth column tells the day the games are available for the last time. Most of these people are involved in the Japanese video game industry in some way, many of them being editors of game magazines. Note that many people are listed by their nicknames, the real name is given in brackets in such cases if available. The occupation applies to the time of the game release.
[[Goro Abe]] and [[Taku Sugioka]] served as chief director and director of the game respectively. This was the last entry in the ''Super Mario'' franchise to credit [[Hiroji Kiyotake]] as Wario's original designer.


==Development==
==== Japan ====
Director [[Goro Abe]] thought the [[microgame]] format was well-suited to content creation due to their simplicity and short development time, and thus believed players could have fun creating microgames. Following the completion of ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'', Abe wrote a text file describing a software creation game using the ''WarioWare'' system for the Iris (the codename for the successor to the [[Game Boy Advance]], which would eventually evolve into the [[Nintendo DS]]). However, Abe felt the pitch "missed something" and due to the difficulties of making the editor accessible, it was put on hold as he focused on other projects.<ref name="Iwata Asks">{{cite|url=iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/ds/diy/0/0|title=Iwata Asks: ''WarioWare D.I.Y.''|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=June 30, 2024}}</ref>

When the [[Wii]] was developed, various Nintendo departments held meetings to discuss the new console. Abe was the representative of [[Nintendo Software Planning & Development]] and learned that the Wii and DS could exchange data via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. This information inspired him to build on his previous pitch.<ref name="Iwata Asks"/>
== Contests ==
Periodically, Nintendo holds game making contests where ''D.I.Y.'' owners can send in their game creations that have to comply with certain conditions depending on the contest. Players who want to take part in the contest need to access the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. One person can enter one time each. Games of the contest winners will be made available for download over the Wi-Fi Connection by Nintendo for a limited time. The first contest was started by Nintendo with the Japanese release of ''WarioWare: D.I.Y.''


Following the completion of ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', Goro Abe shared his idea with fellow SPD 1 employee [[Takumi Hatakeyama]]. Hatakeyama was interested in the pitch as he had fond memories of creating content on ''[[Mario Paint]]'', despite sharing Abe's inability to focus on completing longer, more involved content.<ref name="Iwata Asks"/> Goro Abe also invited [[Intelligent Systems]] employee [[Taku Sugioka]], who too was interested in the idea, but he was unsure of the feasibility of the project.<ref name="Iwata Asks"/>
=== Japan ===
 
{|width=100% cellspacing=0 border=1 cellpadding=3 style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: center;"
The team decided to base the music and drawing tools on ''Mario Paint''. As there was no template for the game content-creation aspect, the developers felt it was the aspect that was the hardest to implement – according to Abe, half of the game's 2-years development cycle was spent on experimenting to create an approachable editor.<ref name="Iwata Asks"/> It was eventually decided that microgame creation would be split into three components: "objects" (moving sprites), "background" (static graphics) and "sound". To integrate the sound and graphic creation tool in the game editor, the development team created a test model which surprised them with its efficiency when a designer with little programming experience was able to make a game within a few hours.<ref name="Iwata Asks"/>
|-
 
!#
The first version of the editor was far less complex than that of the final version, the approach being to start with a small number of necessary functions and add others if necessary, rather than having an overly complex editor and removing unnecessary functions.<ref name="Iwata Asks"/> To test its capabilities, the development team set to recreate [[Wario]]'s stage in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' They were able to replicate "almost 100%", with some adjustments made to games that could not be fully recreated.<ref name="Iwata Asks"/> During developments, Abe emphasized to the other staff members that it was unnecessary to create highly complex and technical games, as they would only last a few seconds.
!Theme
 
!Description
Taku Sugioka lobbied for the game to be shipped on a {{wp|Flash Memory|NAND}} cartridge due to the format's faster rewrite speed and increased storage capacity, which caused the game to be slightly delayed due to issues debugging the new format.<ref name="Iwata Asks"/>
!Submission Period
 
!Distribution Period
As the development team knew not all consumers would be interested in creating games at first, the ability to edit pre-made microgames was added. The game's 90 microgames were specifically designed to provide a wide variety of templates and assets.<ref name="Iwata Asks"/>

|"''This is truly Mario Paint for the Nintendo DS generation. Don't get WarioWare D.I.Y. if you're just interested in playing through the next batch of microgames from Nintendo; get it to show off that you have what it takes to do what Nintendo does. I love WarioWare D.I.Y. as a creative outlet: game builders have been around since the '80s but this is the first time I found myself truly engrossed in the process of building a game from scratch because of how simple yet powerful it is. Sure, when all is said and done there's not much to a five to 10-second "tap the screen" mini-game, but the fact that you can get something up and running and working in a short amount of time definitely fuels that sense of satisfaction and instant gratification.''"

|"''Being able to create your own microgames is a dream come true for many fans of the WarioWare series and the developers have come through with flying colors in delivering not only a very functional set of creation tools, but a package that is easy enough for just about anyone to make good use of. While the built-in games aren't quite of the variety and calibre of some of those found in previous WarioWare releases, they're still quite enjoyable and a nice blueprint for those setting out to create their own games. Fans looking to purchase WarioWare D.I.Y. simply to play the microgames might be a bit disappointed with the lack of variety in the included titles, but those who are willing to put in the time and effort to become familiar with the creation tools will likely find a very powerful and rewarding gaming experience limited only by their imaginations and free time.''"

|"''Perhaps hoping for proper online is missing the point, however. With its bright colours and bizarre comics, WarioWare DIY is built for the playground: built to allow you to hack a game together on a lunch break and show it to your friends during double maths. The uncomfortable truth, perhaps, is that Nintendo's take on user-generated content works because of what's left out, rather than what made it in. That's why the end result is constrained, but necessarily so: another effortless piece of cleverness, another modest marvel.''"

Currently, it is not known if the same contests will be held worldwide when the localized versions of ''WarioWare: D.I.Y.'' are out or if there will be separate contests. Independent of that, a special contest known as ''The Wario Awards'' will be held in conjunction with the U.S. version's release from March 28 to May 16, 2010. It is open to residents of the United States and Canada (except Quebec) and was first announced through a print ad. Participants have the chance to win a trip to the Nintendo E3 Media Briefing in Los Angeles. Besides creating and submitting the microgame with ''D.I.Y.'', it will also be possible to submit a microgame design concept via the game's website. No special requirements for the microgame's theme have been mentioned.

===Official Artwork===
*''[[Mario Paint]]'': When the player is creating a microgame (or comic) and gives it the name "Mario Paint", the original ''Mario Paint'' music plays in the graphic editor instead of the normal music. The same goes for importing [[9-Volt]]'s microgame [[Mario Paint (WarioWare: D.I.Y.)|Mario Paint]] or viewing it in the [[#Features|Game MakerMatic]].

*''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]'': Most of the graphics of the [[T. Bridge]] microgame are taken from this game's classic version of ''[[Turtle Bridge]]''.

*''[[rhythmheaven:Rhythm Heaven|Rhythm Heaven]]'': The Do-Re-Mi voice icon is modeled after a character in the [[rhythmheaven:Love Lab|Love Lab]] from ''Rhythm Heaven'', another series created by Nintendo SPD Group No.1.

|JpnR=Meido in Ore
Image:WWDIYEUGroup.jpg|WarioWare characters along with the European logo of ''WarioWare: D.I.Y.''
|JpnM=Made in Me<br>The word "''ore''" (俺) is an informal and masculine Japanese first-person pronoun which is usually avoided in work titles unless, among other motives, an air of informality is sought. In this case, it represents Wario, as well as the overall theme of ''WarioWare''. It may also represent the concept of D.I.Y. in particular, namely the idea of producing games oneself.

==Notes==
==Trivia==
*If the player closes the system on the music creation tool then opens it up again, the black notes will be seen playing around before going back to their positions.
*The word ''ore'' (俺) in the game's Japanese title ''Made in Ore'' is a rough or arrogant-sounding first-person pronoun. The use of the word in the title is in line with Wario's personality.
