'''''WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase''''', alternatively called '''''WarioWare: Do It Yourself - Showcase''''' in British English, is a game of the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'']] series on the [[Wii]] that accompanies the [[Nintendo DS]] title ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' It was released on April 29, 2009 in Japan as a downloadable [[WiiWare]] game for the price of 800 Wii Points, and was later released in North America on March 29, 2010, in Europe on April 30, 2010, and in Oceania on May 20, 2010. The game allows the player to play [[microgame]]s and other content created with ''WarioWare: D.I.Y.'', though it does not require a copy of ''WarioWare: D.I.Y'' to be played.

Like its Nintendo DS counterpart, ''WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase'' includes a number of premade microgames divided into four different sets. The stages are hosted by ''WarioWare'' characters and each set is based around a certain theme, similar to ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' Seven of the 78 included microgames were later carried over into ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' in 2018.

 

There are three ways to get microgames in ''WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase'':

The ''Game Blender'' alows the player to blend their microgames together to one Game Stage. Instead of playing one game at a time, the player will play multiple games in random order. The player can create their own D.I.Y. Mix Stages, with their microgames. The player can also play a Stage created by Wario and his remaining employees. As indicated above, there are four character stages with their own Microgames, each having a different story. When all the microgames of Wario and his friends have been accounted for, the player can unlock Shuffle Stages with all the microgames of Wario-Man Software.

|The [[Diamond Taxi]] pair Dribble & Spitz seem to participate on a car rally. Between Microgames, their car and other cars are bashing each other out of the way. What determines the car who "defeats" the other driver is based on whether the player had won a Microgame or not.

|The kindergarten-ninjas seem to jump off a cliff; but then fly above the sky using [[cape]]s in the style of [[Cape Mario]]. Four other birds (represented as the player's four "chances") fly with the two.

|No story. Wario's TV turns on and the player must be ready to play some microgames. After four microgames are played, the speed will get higher or a boss game will be played.

|This is a multiplayer mix. Players must survive by winning microgames. When all four chances of a player are gone, they lose. The last player standing wins. All players must take caution, however; other challengers can also interact with the game that somebody else is playing, making it possible to hinder other players.<br>

|8/10

|align="left"|"''If you've enjoyed WarioWare D.I.Y. and are looking to further the experience, WarioWare D.I.Y. Showcase is the perfect compliment to the already outstanding DS title. Not only are there 72 new microgames to enjoy, but the ability to upload your DS creations to your Wii and enjoy the games on your television makes this a nice alternative, especially if you're planning on sharing your microgames with other players. While you should definitely find more than enough to keep you busy in the DS retail release, it's difficult to argue against picking up this added bonus release, especially with the promise of new microgames being made available for download periodically.''"

|8.5/10

|align="left"|''"My two big problems with the "game" come from what it comes packed with, and what it can pack. As with D.I.Y. on the DS, D.I.Y. Showcase comes with some built-in microgames. There are 72 in all, and as with D.I.Y. DS, they're not all that great. The storage problem also comes up again. You can only store 72 games. Why so few? None of that really matters, though, because having D.I.Y. Showcase means I can play F*ck Face on the big screen. It's purely a vanity thing, but it's still amazing to hold a controller in your hand, look at your TV, and play something that came out of your own brain. That alone was worth my $8.''"
