|colspan=3|'''It's a Potluck'''<br>5-Volt, 9-Volt, 18-Volt, Dribble, Spitz, Ashley, Red, Orbulon, Mike, and Fronk arrive at the [[Peridot Campgrounds]] for a potluck. 5-Volt declares that the grills are ready for cooking, to 9-Volt's excitement. The group begins to announce what food they each brought, with 5-Volt and 9-Volt having hot dogs, 18-Volt having vegetables, Spitz having chicken, and Dribble having s'mores. However, 9-Volt gets concerned when Orbulon brings radioactive carotene logs and Red brings exploding fresh oysters. Ashley brings what she claims to be [[garlic]], though Red worriedly identifies it as [[mandrake]] root, the cry of which can be lethal. Spitz then screams like a mandrake as a prank, terrifying Red. 9-Volt concludes that a potluck was a bad idea, but he soon cheers up when 5-Volt reveals she also brought games for them to play, to everyone's excitement. After everyone plays card games together, 18-Volt defeats 9-Volt at them, which he attributes to luck. Dribble suggests that they should invite Wario the next time they have a potluck. Ashley acts unhappy about the idea of having a second potluck, although Red claims that she likes the idea. 5-Volt decides they should meet up again tomorrow and takes a photo of everyone, along with the [[Sasquatch Family]].

|{{anchor|All Mixed Up}}{{main|Variety Towers}}

In All Mixed Up, all the microgames from all stages are mixed. Boss Games are excluded. The game has separate modes for the Mash, Twist, Touch, Ultra, and "Ultra: No Guide" inputs.

|[[File:thrillride_gold.png|120px]]

|{{anchor|Thrill Ride}}{{main|Variety Towers}}

In Thrill Ride, all the microgames are mixed, start at the highest difficulty level, and only one life is available. Boss Games are excluded. The game has separate modes for the Mash, Twist, Touch, and Ultra inputs.  

|[[File:superhard_gold.png|120px]]

|{{anchor|Super Hard}}{{main|Variety Towers}}

In Super Hard, all the microgames are mixed and start out at high speed. Boss Games are excluded. The game has separate modes for the Mash, Twist, Touch, and Ultra inputs.

|[[File:wariowatch_gold.png|120px]]

|{{anchor|WarioWatch}}WarioWatch is a mode similar to the microgame sets of its name in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]''. It is hosted by Wario. It can be played with Mash, Twist or Touch inputs, or Ultra inputs for all microgames. No lives can be lost in this mode. Instead, the mode game has an overall timer which ticks down during microgames, and the game ends when the that timer reaches 0. It starts at 20.0 seconds. The timer is displayed on the Top Screen during microgames. The timer in each microgame is extended in length and a microgame that has been won concludes faster than normal. When a microgame is completed successfully, more time is added to the clock. Different microgames add different amounts of time when completed, loosely proportional to their length. This means Boss Games are worth a significant amount of time. The maximum amount of time the timer can have is 30.0 seconds. Unlike other modes, a point is not earned for failed microgames. There is a hard mode called "Close Shave", available for all four inputs, in which the clock starts with 6.0 seconds, microgames can appear using any of their levels, and Boss Games do not appear.

|[[File:sneakygamer_gold.png|120px]]

|{{anchor|Sneaky Gamer}}{{main|Gamer}}

Sneaky Gamer is a reimplementation of the minigame [[Gamer]] from ''[[Game & Wario]]'', but using microgames in ''WarioWare Gold''. The player has to keep watch for [[9-Volt]] while he is playing Mash microgames after bedtime while avoiding being caught by 5-Volt. The Top Screen shows 9-Volt's bedroom, where his mother can appear. By holding {{button|3DS|L}} and {{button|3DS|R}}, 9-Volt pretends to sleep, which pauses the gameplay of the Touch Screen and keeps him safe from 5-Volt. However, pretending to sleep while 5-Volt is not looking at 9-Volt drains the Wakey Gauge at the top of the Top Screen. The game ends when 5-Volt catches 9-Volt playing, if 9-Volt loses all of his lives, or if 9-Volt's Wakey Gauge runs out and makes him fall asleep for real. There are three levels to play, as well as an endless mode. Each level ends on a Boss Game. After completing the Boss Game, the level is scored based on a combination of the lives remaining and the remainder of the Wakey Gauge. Endless mode works on normal ''WarioWare'' scoring, and allows 9-Volt to recover the Wakey Gauge by "sleeping" just before 5-Volt begins watching him. The mode from Gamer with 18-Volt is not present, as playing microgames in a score attack without 5-Volt is conceptually represented by the remainder of ''WarioWare Gold''.

|[[File:wariointerrupts_gold.png|120px]]

|{{anchor|Wario Interrupts}}Wario Interrupts is available after completing the Story mode. It can only be played with Ultra inputs and does not include Boss Games. Wario Interrupts reprises the scenario for [[Wario Deluxe]]'s stage in Story mode. Its music, cutscenes, and Lulu's role in it have been changed. Microgames are played on the lowest difficulty level only. Speed-ups happen gradually every five microgames without warning. Wario Deluxe is shown on the Top Screen, while every microgame occurs on the Touch Screen. At the start of the game and after every three microgames, Wario Deluxe will unleash a distraction to block with or mess with the microgames. A new effect replaces an older effect. After each microgame, the Hero Button in the bottom-right corner of the screen fill up. Once full, [[Lulu]] starts speaking for every microgame. Tapping the Hero Button summons Lulu, who clears the current distraction if any. This drains the Hero Button. If the next distraction was one or two microgames away, including the currently played one, that interval is skipped and all further intervals are moved one microgame ahead.

 

Wario Deluxe can distract the player by:

#Turning the touch screen upside-down. In practice, this also reverses how directional controls function compared to the orientation of the screen. This works intuitively for Touch inputs unless direction matters and does not affect Mic inputs at all. It less intuitively affects Mash and Twist inputs.

#Hiding the guide depicting the inputs of each microgame, as in the Story mode's Anything Goes stage.

#Blocking the screen with one or three [[Tiny Wario]] heads, which are attached to balloons on the Top Screen. The balloons can be popped by mashing one of {{button|3ds|A}} or a direction on the {{button|3ds|pad}}, causing the head to fall away. The relevant button is displayed on the balloon. This prevents Mash microgames from appearing until the distraction is cleared. Similarly, it prevents Twist microgames that use the {{button|3ds|A}} button from appearing if one of the balloons has that button.

#Farting three times in a row, blocking the screen with noxious gas. It can be blown away by blowing into {{button|ds|mic}}, in turn preventing Mic microgames from appearing until the distraction is cleared.

#Blocking the screen with two paint blobs, which can be wiped off using {{button|3ds|Stylus}}. This prevents Touch microgames from appearing until the distraction is cleared.

#Blocking the screen with a glass full of wine, which can be removed by tilting the system to the far left or right. This prevents Twist microgames from appearing until the distraction is cleared.

|[[File:cruisecontrols_gold.png|120px]]

|{{anchor|Cruise Controls}}Cruise Controls is a game mode unlocked after playing the Wario Interrupts mode once. It is hosted by Dribble, though Spitz is present. The player controls [[Dribble's taxi]] in a race, and has to complete 15 Mash microgames as fast as possible. Boss Games are not included. The speed of microgames can manually adjusted: tilting the [[Nintendo 3DS]] up makes them go faster while tilting down makes them slower. This is the only point in the game where tilting up and down is needed. The current speed is visually indicated on a Speed Gauge on the right side of the Top Screen. Losing a microgame adds 10 seconds to the timer as a penalty, but the player still has four lives. Lives are represented by Dribble dolls.

|[[File:splitscreen_gold.png|120px]]

|{{anchor|Split Screen}}Split Screen is a mode hosted by [[Kat & Ana]]. This mode can be played using the Mash or Ultra inputs, though game's Ultra inputs have no guide in the same way All Mixed Up's "Ultra: No Guide" input does not have a guide. Microgames take place on both the Top and Touch Screen, though only one micrgame is played at a time. When a microgame concludes on one screen, the next microgame starts with an extremely short transition on the other screen. Kat represents the Top Screen, while Ana represents the Touch Screen. Lives are represented by shuriken. In Ultra, Kat's microgames can never be Touch microgames because the Top Screen cannot be tapped.

All microgames with 8-beat timers in the game can be picked, while no 4- or 16-beat microgames or Boss Games can be picked. The microgames are played at their 2nd level difficulty from 17 points onwards, and at their 3rd level difficulty from 34 points onwards. The microgames' speeds increase in sync with the background music as the score increases.

|[[File:battletime_gold.png|120px]]

|{{anchor|Battle Time}}{{main|Showdown (mode)}}

Battle Time is a Local Multiplayer mode hosted by [[Young Cricket]] & [[Master Mantis]]. Two players who both have the game battle against each other by playing the same microgame at the same time. The objective is to keep playing microgames until the opponent loses their last life. Lives are lost after losing microgames. The players can choose one to four lives, and the host can also choose which inputs the microgames will have between Mash, Twist, Touch, and Ultra. If both players lose their last life from the same microgame, the mode will enter sudden death and the next person to lose a microgame will lose the battle. After a winner is declared, the results for each microgame played will be shown.

Similarly to ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' and ''Game & Wario'', ''WarioWare Gold'' features extra content in the form of souvenirs, obtainable via the [[Capsule Machine (WarioWare Gold)|Capsule Machine]]. These souvenirs are divided into eight categories: Minigames, Phones, Studio, Movies, Cards, Nintendo, Records and Miscellaneous.

Unlike previous ''WarioWare'' titles which were even collaborations between [[Intelligent Systems]] and [[Nintendo]]'s SPD 1 team, ''WarioWare Gold'' was primarily developed by Intelligent Systems staff (most of which had previously worked on ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'') outside of the involvement of series lead [[Goro Abe]] (who returns as the chief director) and [[Ko Takeuchi]], who produced the character art, storyboarded and animated the game's cutscenes, and voiced [[Joe]] in the Japanese dub of the game.<ref>{{cite|date=December 21, 2018|url=https://topics.nintendo.co.jp/c/article/f46b270c-f799-11e8-8bfe-0a6d14145cb1.html|title=『メイド イン ワリオ　ゴージャス』のキャラクターPVがぞくぞくと公開中。ワリオ社長がみずから宣伝！極秘情報もポロリ？|publisher=Nintendo|language=Japanese}}</ref> Youichi Tada acts as the game's sub-director and Nami Komuro, one of the writers of ''[[fireemblem:Fire Emblem: Awakening|Fire Emblem Awakening]]'' and ''[[fireemblem:Fire Emblem Fates|Fire Emblem Fates]]'', wrote the game's cutscenes.

*''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'': The microgame genres also return in this game. A bag from [[Joe's Clothes]] appears in Mona's room during the intro of her story. The chef from [[Top Notch]] appears in [[So Kneady]]. In one of 9-Volt's [[:File:WWGIT Gallery 9 Volt 5.png|gallery images]], he and Fronk wear the outfits they wear in 9-Volt's stage from this game. [[Goro Desert]] resembles the background of the Mash League. [[Pop-Up Patrol]] has similar gameplay to [[Crowded Desktop]].

*''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'': Long-Lost Love and Distant Darling appear in a [[A Swing at Love|microgame]]. The carotene logs that Orbulon brought to the potluck in this game appear as memories in the background of Orbulon's stage. Mr. Sparkles returns as the host of [[Megagame Muscles]].
