'''''WarioWare: Touched!''''' is a [[Nintendo DS]] game and the fourth game in the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series. The game contains [[microgame]]s that are based on touching the touch screen with the stylus. Like in previous games, the microgames are played in stages that are each hosted by a certain character; each character has a theme in their microgames based on how the player controls them, as in the game's predecessor, ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' New major characters [[Ashley]], [[Red (WarioWare series)|Red]], and [[Mike]] are introduced in this game. In addition, the game includes several "mix characters" - characters whose games are taken from normal characters. Besides the microgames, the game also includes special souvenirs, similar to its predecessor, won by achieving certain tasks (like scoring a certain amount of points in a specific game). Like ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'', and ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', the music and sound effects are taken from ''[[Wario Land 4]]''.

The game was released on December 2, 2004 in Japan. In North America and Australia, it was released before ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' (which was never released in Europe), making it the third game in the ''WarioWare'' series to be released in these regions. The game was re-released as a [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] title in North America, Japan, Europe, and Australia in April 2015. [[My Nintendo]] members were able to redeem the game as a [[Nintendo 3DS]]-exclusive [[DSiWare]] download for 1,000 Platinum Points from March to July 2016.<ref>{{cite|author=rawmeatcowboy|date=March 17, 2016|url=gonintendo.com/stories/254175-warioware-touched-available-as-3ds-download-for-my-nintendo-memb|title=WARIOWARE TOUCHED!

==Story==
[[File:Sewerguru.png|thumb|left|200px|The Sewer Guru asks Wario what system he dropped.]]
[[Wario]] is walking down a street after having proudly stolen a [[Game Boy Advance]] and [[Game Boy Advance#Game Boy Advance SP|Game Boy Advance SP]], but then he suddenly trips and drops both systems down a manhole. The [[Sewer Guru]] then flies up from the hole holding not only the two handheld systems, but also a Nintendo DS, and he asks Wario which one he dropped. Wario replies, "Gimme all of 'em!" and lunges at the Sewer Guru, knocking both of them down the manhole. After a brief scuffle, Wario emerges with the Nintendo DS. Wario immediately notices that the handheld has two screens, but finds it more peculiar that there are no buttons. Not knowing how to play it, Wario loses a Whack-a-Mole minigame and shakes it angrily, thinking that the device does not work. However, the [[stylus]] flies out into his hand, and Wario suddenly realizes that he must use it to tap the bottom screen. He wins the minigame and then realizes he could make double the profit out of a device with double the screens, and so he uses it to make [[microgame]]s controlled via the touchscreen.

==Gameplay==
[[File:Party Popper.png|thumb|left|150px|One of the microgames, [[Party Popper]], in action.]]
''WarioWare: Touched!'' plays very similarly to most games in the ''WarioWare'' series: players play a randomized grouping of very small, short minigames (called "microgames") within a small time limit and a very brief set of instructions. Periodically, the game speeds up the microgame, thus shortening the time and making it more challenging and pressuring to complete the microgames within the time limit. Players start with four tries every time they start a stage. If they lose a microgame, they lose a try; when players lose all four of their tries, the game ends and players must start over from the beginning. Players earn points for every microgame that comes (winning or losing the microgame does not factor into points gained); at the fifteenth point, players play a boss microgame, which is considerably longer and more challenging than a typical microgame.

One major change made to ''WarioWare: Touched!'' compared to previous games is the duration of the microgames. In ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'' and ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', every microgame (with the exception of some of [[Wario-Man]]'s games in ''Twisted!'') in most character stages last 8 beats, with [[Orbulon]]'s microgames lasting 16 beats and [[Fronk]]'s games in ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' lasting 4 beats. ''WarioWare: Touched!'' does away with the concept of stages having a standardized length, as every stage can have microgames in both standard and double beats.

A unique feature of ''WarioWare: Touched!'' compared to other ''WarioWare'' games is the touch screen and microphone feature of the Nintendo DS. ''WarioWare: Touched!'' does not make use of any of the face buttons (except to pause and a few souvenirs); as such, all inputs by the player are received via touch on the touchscreen or blowing into the microphone.

==Characters and stages==
The following characters in ''WarioWare: Touched!'' get microgames. Below is a list of the characters and stages. The first set of microgames the player must complete is always Wario's set. As the player completes more stages, more characters appear in the Games menu. Finally, each stage automatically ends after the player completes the boss stage, but subsequent playthroughs of a stage are continuous, with microgames becoming more difficult after completing a boss stage until the player has no more tries. Players can get more tries by completing a boss stage, but the maximum number of tries is always four.

Each character hosts a set of microgames and comes with an individual story dedicated to them. At the end of each story, the respective character meets with the other ones at the [[Hawt House]].

Characters from microgame sets do not introduce any new microgames or any specific touch control, but they mix up microgames from previous employees as described.

|colspan=3|'''Wario's Story:'''<br>Wario, in his house, is eating chocolate bars until he gets cavities from eating too many sweets. Wario, under immense pain, jumps to his [[Wario Bike|bike]] and visits [[Dr. Payne's Dental Clinic]]. [[Dr. Payne]] then drills the [[cavity|cavities]] (the player taps them with the touch controls), which makes Wario's teeth healthy again. The doctor then warns Wario to avoid sweets. During his trip back to his house, Wario smells some sweets emanating from [[The Sweet Spot]]. He stops and demands [[Bridget the Baker]] for ten pies. Before Wario eats the pies, he remembers what the doctor told him; he deliberately ignores the advice and eats the pies anyway. He then jumps in pain from the returning cavities, in a similar fashion to the cavities from the beginning of the arc, and lands back into Dr. Payne's Dental Clinic, where Dr. Payne has expected him to return.

|colspan=3|'''Mona's Story:'''<br>Mona's story first starts at the Diamond Broadcasting System at Downtown Diamond City. During the Ear Candy music broadcast, Ken the VJ lists the Top 5 songs. [[Vanessa]], the previous #1 spot, is shocked to hear that she has been usurped by Mona, who is a new face to the list. While Vanessa is infuriated, Ken announces that Mona will be playing at the [[Hawt House]] tonight. Vanessa then sets out to sabotage Mona. Meanwhile, at [[Mona Pizza]], Mona and her crew, [[Art and Deco|Art and Decko]] are practicing. Here, the player can play the strings to help Mona. After the practice is done, Mona sets off on [[Mona's scooter|her scooter]], while Art and Decko follow her on their van. Vanessa, alongside the [[The Dinosaurs]], catch Mona and her crew and hamper them with their mechs. Two of The Dinosaurs, in a hawk-like mech, kidnaps Art. [[Joe|Pizza Joe]] and Mona's animal friends, such as [[Mona's Pets|4.1 and 4.2]], come to help in their air vehicles but are all knocked away by the hawk-like mech. Decko then ejects and latches himself onto the hawk-like mech, which releases Art and causes the mech to crash. Mona and her crew finally arrive at the Hawt House. During the performance, an infuriated and jealous Vanessa is seen in the back of the crowd. Mona suddenly realizes she has pizzas to deliver and leaves the concert, giving Vanessa an idea. As [[Garbage Boy]] approaches the microphone, Vanessa, disguised as Mona, kicks Garbage Boy away and claims that she is Mona. However, the crowd is not tricked and they boo and throw various objects at her.

After the player rubs Scratchy off his wig, the family continues dancing. After the dance is done, the family is seen walking home. Meanwhile, Scratchy the 'Fro Bug comes back and lands again on Jimmy's wig, in which Jimmy screams in discomfort again.

After the monkey eats the banana, [[Shadow the Dog|Shadow]] notices the banana peel that the monkey has dropped and alerts Ana. Ana and Shadow notice the footsteps from the banana peel leading to a window; Ana thinks a crook stole the banana. Before she and Shadow search for the thief, she leaves a note for Kat (the player draws on this note). While Ana is trying to catch the thief, Kat catches up with [[Shuriken the Falcon|Shuriken]], saying that she read the note and that they must hurry. When Kat & Ana find the monkey eating the banana, they are initially outraged, but immediately endeared. They decide that the monkey is too adorable to punish, and they tame him while naming him [[Numchuck the Monkey|Numchuck]].

After Ashley tastes it, she demands more ingredients, in which the player drags the ingredients into the pot. A skull appears from the pot, shocking the two, realizing they ruined the potion. As Ashley & Red exit the mansion, Red tries to reassure Ashley that they can retry and the next attempt will be a success. Meanwhile, on the top screen of the Nintendo DS, the [[Oinker]] gets struck by lightning, forcing [[Orbulon]] to abandon ship. Orbulon, frantic, starts running. He accidentally bumps into Ashley, angering her and turning her hair white. Orbulon, frightened at her, apologizes and retreats. After Red asks Ashley what is wrong, Ashley proclaims that Orbulon is the missing ingredient. Red then promises Ashley that he will catch Orbulon. Red fails, however, and apologizes. Ashley accepts it and tells him that he can be the ingredient instead, much to Red's shock.

Dr. Crygor then jumps into the machine, where the player spins the wheel to make the machine work; after the procedure is completed, Dr. Crygor changes from his preceding appearance to the one used in ''WarioWare: Touched!'', and he proclaims to be upgraded. He then blasts out of his lab and into space, and he exclaims that the galaxy is his giant oyster.

Dr. Crygor then goes out, while Mike cleans the lab. Mike eventually finds dust on the windowsill, in which the player blows the dust away with the mic on the Nintendo DS. Mike suddenly gets the urge to host a party and then flies out of the lab to host an intergalactic karaoke competition at an [[Alien Bunny]] planet. After beating his competition, Dr. Crygor arrives in [[Dribble's taxi]] and tells Mike that they need to go home. They then sing a duet, but Mike soon criticizes how awfully Dr. Crygor sings.

To celebrate their success, 9-Volt spins his turntable as 18-Volt dances, as they showcase their Nintendo game systems. 9-Volt and 18-Volt eventually fall asleep, but since they fell asleep late in the night, they oversleep past 9 o'clock and thus are late for school.

He eats it regardless, where the [[Wario Virus]]es eat the weakened [[Awful Virus]]es from the Nasty Garlic (where the player involved first taps the Awful Viruses and then drags the Wario Viruses over the weakened Awful Viruses to eat them), and he turns into Wario-Man as a result. Wario-Man bursts out of his house and proclaims that he is super-powered. Wario-Man then sees a train and wants to crush it; however, when Wario-Man gets in front of it, it knocks Wario-Man away. As [[Rocky the Reporter]] notes the success of ''WarioWare: Touched!'', Wario-Man falls into a sewer and turns back into normal Wario. Wario jumps out and does not realize that he has landed on the Sewer Guru; irritated, the Sewer Guru hits Wario with his stick.

==Microgames==
{{main|List of WarioWare: Touched! microgames}}
There are a total of 190 microgames in ''WarioWare: Touched!'' Each WarioWare employee has twenty normal microgames (Wario has twenty-one microgames) and a boss microgame. Microgames are categorized by how they are played; for example, Wario's microgames involve tapping or poking objects on the screen, Mona's microgames involve making cutting motions, Jimmy T.'s microgames involve rubbing the screen the right way, and so on. 9-Volt and Wario-Man are the only two employees that mix up differing microgame styles in their microgame mix.

==Souvenirs==
Souvenirs can be unlocked in random order by completing tasks like getting 30 points on a stage or playing all microgames. Souvenirs can both be stored in Games and the Toy Room. If stored in Games, souvenirs can be found quickly, but the amount of souvenirs the player can store here is limited. If the player wants all the souvenirs in one place, the souvenirs can be stored in the Toy Room. Below is a list of souvenirs.

In the European, Wii U Virtual Console, and 3DS versions, Mona Pizza cannot be unlocked, since players must have a copy of ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', which was not released in Europe, and the game reads very specific data from said cartridge in the Game Boy Advance slot on the Nintendo DS to unlock it. However, it is still present in the game's data, and European players can still play the game if it is present in a copied save file of the game.

As with most ''WarioWare'' games, ''WarioWare: Touched!'' has undergone significant localization differences, which vary from different regional versions. Some changes are simple as a name change while others have complete graphical overhauls.
===Stages===
*The names in the skyscraper for Wario's stage is removed in the European version.
*In Mona's stage, whenever the player wins a microgame, the "HIT" is changed to a heart in the European and Simplified Chinese versions. Likewise, when players lose the microgame, "MISS" is changed to a broken heart.
*Dr. Crygor in his stage is silent in the American version for most of the intro after he states he wants to test the machine. In other regional versions, however, he talks more. The dialogue was added back in for the DSiWare download version.
*In 9-Volt's stage, the Japanese and Korean versions displayed points as "pts.", the American version displayed points in full, the European version displayed points as "point(s)", and the Chinese version displayed points as "分". The DJ turntable for the Japanese version has the name "Ninevolt" displayed on it, the American version features "Nine-Volt", and the European version has no name on the turntable at all.
*During Jimmy's intermission, the Japanese version has a jug of milk. It is replaced by a carton of milk in international versions.
*In the international versions, the touch screen guitar in Mona's stage is changed to match the sprite on the top screen.
*In the Korean version, Mike's stage uses the word "CONTEST" rather than "KARAOKE" on the top screen.
*In the Japanese version, the intermissions in the "Mix" stages and the album have more animation frames per second.

===Microgames===
*In [[Big Bang (microgame)|Big Bang]], the Japanese version has 大 ("big") written on the mountain, which is a reference to a Kyoto festival known as Gozan no Okuribi. The character is removed in the international versions, alongside the mountains.
*In [[Power Chord]], the words "GiG" and "Max" on the drum set and meter are present in the Japanese version. This is changed to a picture of a face and the word "Rock" in the international versions.
*In [[Washed Up]], the girl has black hair in the Japanese version. International versions change the color to red.
*In [[Steel Chef]], the Japanese and Korean versions displayed "OK!" when players complete the microgame. The American and European versions change the text to "SWEET!" and the Simplified Chinese version changes it to 不错 ("not bad").
*In [[Middle Management]], the head and body of the tower are completely redesigned in international versions. International versions changed the head from the Japanese version to that of a clown, and the body was changed from a body with red, white, the Japanese character, 愛 ("love"), with bunny legs, to a body with multiple colors and patterns with boxing gloves.
*In [[Hookin' Up]], the words in the English version is changed to more casual lingo (from "Mad about you!" in Japanese versions to "Whassup baby?" in the English versions). The European version also lacks the small "To be continued..." box on the lower right-hand corner.
*In [[Feeling Saucy]], in level one, the omelet that is featured in the Japanese version is changed to french fries in the international versions.
*In [[Corrections Officer]], the thick "100" in the Japanese and Korean versions is changed to an A+ in the American and most European versions. The German version changes it to a "1+" mark, while the Simplified Chinese version has a thinner 100 and the Chinese character 分 ("point").
*In [[On Strike]], all three matchboxes are changed in the international versions.
*In [[Sweet Nothings]], the person on the left is replaced by a cat in the Korean version.
*In [[Stylus Hunt|Pushing Buttons]], the controller featured in the Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Korean versions is a Famicom controller, while the American and European versions feature an NES controller.
*The Japanese version has a microgame called [[Famicom Tantei Club 2]] in 9-Volt's microgame set. It is replaced by [[Metroid (WarioWare: Touched!)|Metroid]] in the international versions.
*In [[Gunslinger]], the music is played differently in the international versions compared to the Japanese version. The American, European, and Korean versions also remove the tutorial on the top screen, though the Simplified Chinese version keeps the tutorial from the top screen and the same music effects as the Japanese version.
*In [[Ramp It Up]], the box door is red with a yellow star in the middle; this was changed to a yellow "V" in the Simplified Chinese version most likely because it coincidentally resembles the flag of Vietnam.

===Other===
*The title screen in the Japanese and Simplified Chinese versions is colored yellow, while the American and European versions are orange. The Korean version has a slightly more orangish-yellow color.
*The Japanese version exclusively featured a souvenir called "Touch Doll", where players tap a photo for various effects. It was replaced in the international versions with [[They Hunger]].
*European versions are at some points not localized. Despite the European box art being colored yellow, the game's title screen and the menu icon are still orange (while in the Japanese version, the title screen and icon are both yellow). Also, in the explanation of the microgame [[Gold Digger]], the series' first game is referred to as ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', while the British English title of it is ''WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania''. The game also uses American spelling and grammar in both the American and British English versions.
*In the Japanese version, the music that plays when a boss game is announced is the same as the [[Speed Up!]] music, while the other versions have original music.
*There is a billboard saying "NEW!" in the ending cutscene that varies between versions. The Japanese version has a subtitle on the billboard saying "NOW ON SALE!", which the American and Korean versions change to "BUY MY GAME!" The European version removes this subtitle altogether.
*In the Korean version, the criteria for unlocking certain souvenirs has changed: [[Whistle a Tune]] is one of the random unlocks once a task is completed, while [[Mona Pizza (song)|Mona Pizza]] instead is unlocked by obtaining all gold crowns in all albums. [[Pet Brine Buddies]] cannot be unlocked at all.

==Staff==
{{main|List of WarioWare: Touched! staff}}
''WarioWare: Touched!'' is developed by [[Nintendo SPD Group No.1]] and [[Intelligent Systems]]. As with most ''WarioWare'' games, [[Yoshio Sakamoto]] alongside Ryoichi Kitanishi produced the game. Since the original ''WarioWare''{{'}}s team was busy on ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', newcomer Ryuichi Nakada was the chief director of ''Touched!'', while [[Goro Abe]], [[Taku Sugioka]], and Teruyuki Hirosawa were the game's other directors.

==Development==
[[File:WWTouched Sweet Nothings Storyboard.jpg|thumb|150px|A storyboard of [[Sweet Nothings]], showcasing the template used to create microgame concepts]]
Around the time ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' was in development, the team was presented with the [[Nintendo DS]], who thought the touchscreen and the stylus were a perfect match for developing a ''WarioWare'' game.<ref name="Smooth Moves">{{cite|url=iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/wii/warioware_smooth_moves/0/0|title=Iwata Asks: WarioWare: Smooth Moves|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=June 29, 2024}}</ref> As the series core staff was already busy with ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', the team split, and the game was primarily developed by staff who were new to the series. Producer [[Yoshio Sakamoto]] had to scramble to find a director for the project.<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Iwata-Asks/Iwata-Asks-Metroid-Other-M/Keynote-from-Metroid-creator-Yoshio-Sakamoto/Page-2/Page-2-203801.html|title=Iwata Asks: Yoshio Sakamoto's GDC '10 Keynote|publisher=Nintendo of UK|language=en-gb|accessdate=June 29, 2024}}</ref> At the beginning, there was a lack of unified awareness among the new staff to "what made ''WarioWare'' funny" and as such, ''WarioWare: Twisted!'''s staff was transferred to ''WarioWare: Touched!'' following the completion of the title to help complete the game for the Nintendo DS's launch. The game was developed in a very short time, five months, and was released relatively soon to the release of ''WarioWare: Twisted!''<ref name="Smooth Moves"/><ref>{{cite|date=April 7, 2006|url=games.kikizo.com/features/ncl_nintendo_wwiv_apr06_p3.asp|title=Nintendo R&D1 Interview|publisher=Kikizo|language=en|accessdate=June 29, 2024}}</ref>

==Reception==
===Critical reception===
''WarioWare: Touched!'' has received generally positive reviews from critics. Aggregate sites Metacritic and GameRankings has given a score of 81 based on reviews of 54 critics and a score of 81.83% from 63 critics respectively.<ref>{{cite|url=www.metacritic.com/game/ds/warioware-touched!|title=''WarioWare: Touched!''|publisher=Metacritic|accessdate=June 29, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20160719114245/http://www.gamerankings.com/ds/920757-warioware-touched/index.html|title=''WarioWare: Touched!''|publisher=GameRankings|language=en|accessdate=June 29, 2024}}</ref> As with most ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' titles, it is praised for its addictive nature, its quirky and bizarre theme, the replayability and the intuitive use of the touchscreen and other features of the [[Nintendo DS]]. The most common criticism is that the game is very short, where it can be fully beaten within a few hours. IGN writer, Craig Harris, has mostly praised the game, who gave the game a score of 8.5 out of ten, but commented that ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' is a superior game to ''WarioWare: Touched!'' However, he ended by saying, "Wario Ware Touched!{{sic}} may be an incredibly brief experience, but it's still one of the top titles in the Nintendo DS library. At the very least it gives a great insight into gameplay ideas that the touchscreen and dual-screen handheld's capable of, even in these quick and extraordinarily brief five-second shots."<ref>{{cite|author=Harris, Craig|date=February 11, 2005|url=www.ign.com/articles/2005/02/11/wario-ware-touched|title=Review of ''WarioWare: Touched!''|publisher=IGN|language=en|accessdate=June 29, 2024}}</ref> Stuart Reddick, from Nintendo Life has given the game a 9/10, who greatly praised the game and commented on "how simplicity can still lead to stunning gameplay." and called it one of the best titles on the Nintendo DS.<ref>{{cite|author=Reddick, Stuart|date=June 14, 2006|url=www.nintendolife.com/reviews/ds/warioware_touched|title=Review of ''WarioWare: Touched!''|publisher=Nintendo Life|language=en|accessdate=June 29, 2024}}</ref>

Once you have all the unlockables, which will take you a while to collect, the game becomes less desirable; however, as I mentioned, you will still feel the urge every now and then to visit one of the aforementioned "teddy bears" and go through a mini-game mega mix. If you've been thinking about buying this game, don't hesitate—I doubt you'll regret it.''"

*"''Wow! That was some serious funkitude.''" ([[Jimmy's Folks|Jamie T.]])

==Pre-release and unused content==
At E3 2004, the game was titled ''WarioWare, Inc. DS''. To start the demo, the player would touch the bottom screen. In the demo, Wario would throw a 3D crate displaying the number of played microgames towards the screen which would open to start a microgame. When the player touched the bottom screen, a cursor would appear at that position. Successfully beating it would cause the crate to shatter and make Wario stomp in anger. In addition, the microgames lacked a time limit. Instead, there was a 20 second time limit that activated during microgames and displayed "TIME UP!" on the bottom screen once it finished. The crate would then fly back and hit Wario, causing a Game Over.<ref>{{cite|author=unitedgamesvideos|date=May 20, 2010|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=5o40KpBeQ3A|title=DS Warioware Inc review, Nintendo DS, E3 2004 Video, 14 of 24|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=February 12, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Lynch, Brad|date=May 24, 2012|url=youtu.be/kWb0MoJ_bss?t=477|timestamp=07:57|title=E3 2004 - Nintendo DS|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=February 12, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=VinnCo Archive|language=en|date=June 28, 2016|timestamp=0:54|url=youtu.be/e29R1kZAq0E?t=54|title=Nintendo DS demo - E3 2004|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=February 12, 2021}}</ref> In the demo, [[Steel Chef]] required players to cut 6 objects. [[Write On, Dude]]'s command was "Write that symbol!", [[Loose Change|Greedy Hands]]' command was "Gather!", and [[Quite Puzzled]] command was "Arrange!".

An unused placeholder character sheet can be found in the game's data, most likely serving as a template for the overworld character sprites. Some place-holder graphics for souvenirs serve a similar purpose. TEST_BOSS is a microgame used for testing boss microgames. It is simply Quite Puzzled, but with a different name. BREAK_ELEVATOR is an unused intermission scene for elevator characters (the bear characters). It is a blank pink screen for localized versions of the game, but Japanese versions of the game have Japanese text that translates to "Taking a rest! BREAK!".

==Glitches==
===Broken microgame===
If the player rapidly pauses the game before [[Spario]] begins, Wario's arms and mustache may not appear, rendering the microgame [[Unwinnable state|impossible to win]]. As of August 20th, 2024, the glitch is only confirmed to have occurred in the North American [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console]] version of the game, and could instead be an emulation error.

===Unwinnable microgames===
Three microgames in [[Kat & Ana]]'s set are impossible to complete on some first-run Japanese DSes. The lines in [[Bright Idea (WarioWare: Touched!)|Bright Idea]] and [[The Proud, the Fuse]] cannot be drawn while the flashlight in [[Midnight Weirdo]] blinks on and off.<ref>{{cite|author=Niizumi, Hirohiko|date=January 5, 2005|url=www.gamespot.com/articles/warioware-touched-bugging-out/1100-6115590|title=''WarioWare: Touched!'' bugging out|publisher=GameSpot|language=en|accessdate=September 1, 2021}}</ref> Nintendo provided replacement copies for those affected, and the glitches were corrected for later printings of the game.
