(missed a couple "control schemes", the genre is "Nintendo Classics" whenever there is free space to write out the full name, "Mic" is consitently lowercase in the game and links to the Nintendo DS article like "stylus", references section. Noted Pop-Up games always have Fronk/Fronks in them, like Wario but less self absorbed)

With the event established, Wario heads to Diamond City Stadium. From a room with computers and the Alien Bunnies, he uses the stadium's jumbotron to explain the rules and structure to the crowd of people gathered to participate. The first time the player completes a stage of the Wario Bowl, Wario explains where the microgames are from.The Wario Bowl brings in oodles of money for Wario. Wario expects half of the gamers to give up, but when he checks he finds that they have completed eight of the stages. After the player completes the Mash, Twist, and Touch Leagues, Wario adds the Ultra League to the Wario Bowl. As part of the announcement, he bungee jumps off a balcony in Diamond City Stadium.

After the player completes the Mash, Twist, and Touch Leagues, Wario adds the Ultra League to the Wario Bowl. As part of the announcement, he bungee jumps off a balcony in Diamond City Stadium.
When the player clears the first two stages of the Ultra League and returns to Diamond City Stadium for the final stage and the prize, Wario claims the prize for himself. With the help of an Alien Bunny, Wario affixes the [[Pot of Luxeville]] to his head and becomes [[Wario Deluxe]]. He uses a basket attached to a set of balloons to float high above Diamond City Stadium, then fights the player. Midway through, Wario Deluxe uses his powers to prevent the player from seeing the guide depicting the inputs for the incoming microgames. Lulu later appears to help the player win, by popping some of Wario Deluxe's balloons then jumping up to Wario Deluxe to try and pull the pull the pot off his head. Lulu's interference stops Wario Deluxe's powers.


When the player clears the Ultra League, Wario declares himself the winner of the tournament and refuses to give the player the prize. Wario affixes the [[Pot of Luxeville]] to his head, which turns him into [[Wario Deluxe]]. He uses a basket attached to a set of balloons to float high above Diamond City Stadium, then fights the player. Midway through, Wario Deluxe uses his powers to prevent the player from seeing the guide depicting the inputs for the incoming microgames. Lulu later appears to help the player win, by popping some of Wario Deluxe's balloons then jumping up to Wario Deluxe to try and pull the pull the pot off his head. Lulu's interference stops Wario Deluxe's powers.
After all of his microgames have been completed, Wario Deluxe loses. His balloons pop and he and Lulu fall to the ground. Lulu takes back the Pot of Luxeville, reverting Wario Deluxe to Wario. Wario's friends arrive asking for their payment. While Wario tries to run away, a short scuffle ensues ending with them taking Wario's suitcase full of the money from the Wario Bowl. Most of it was spent, with Wario implying the balloons Wario Deluxe used made up some of the expenses. The employees split the remaining coins amongst themselves and Wario. They also give the player 10,000 coins. The player winds up with the Wario Bowl trophy.

“Listen up! Hey! Hey, you people ready for THE... MOST... DELUXE tournament ever? Let the Wario Bowl games begin! [crowd stays silent] Hey! You guys hear me? START CHEERING NOW!”
—Wario, WarioWare Gold
The Wario Bowl trophy

The Wario Bowl is a video game tournament hosted by Wario in WarioWare Gold. It involves playing microgames. Alien Bunnies are staff for tournament.[1] The Wario Bowl's entrance fee is 10,000 coins, and the grand prize is 10 million coins. The Wario Bowl is livestreamed.[2] The Wario Bowl forms the structure of the game's story mode, with the player as one of the entrants.

The tournament is hosted in Diamond City Stadium, and its 18 stages are spread across Diamond City. These stages are spread across three (later four) leagues, each based on specific inputs for the involved microgames. Each of the first three leagues, the Mash League, Twist League, and Touch League, has five stages to complete. The stages of each league must be completed in sequential order, but the player can complete the leagues in any order or partially complete a league before switching to another. The first stage of each of these leagues is hosted by Wario, features microgames he made, and takes place in a dedicated location. These are the Mash League Arena, the Twist League Arena, and the Touch League Arena. The remaining stages of these leagues are hosted by one or more of Wario's friends from WarioWare, Inc., who have also created microgames. After completing a stage, the host(s) direct the player to challenge the next stage of its league, if any. The final league, the Ultra League, is only added after completing the prior three leagues, and only has three stages. The final stage has the participant challenge Wario for the prize.

History[edit]

Wario creates the Wario Bowl to regain money after realizing he is completely broke. It is inspired by a news report about the popularity and sales of Super Pyoro. Wario announces the tournament via a video he makes that is displayed on a screen in Diamond City. Wario also calls his friends to create the microgames.

With the event established, Wario heads to Diamond City Stadium. From a room with computers and the Alien Bunnies, he uses the stadium's jumbotron to explain the rules and structure to the crowd of people gathered to participate. The first time the player completes a stage of the Wario Bowl, Wario explains where the microgames are from.The Wario Bowl brings in oodles of money for Wario. Wario expects half of the gamers to give up, but when he checks he finds that they have completed eight of the stages. After the player completes the Mash, Twist, and Touch Leagues, Wario adds the Ultra League to the Wario Bowl. As part of the announcement, he bungee jumps off a balcony in Diamond City Stadium.

When the player clears the first two stages of the Ultra League and returns to Diamond City Stadium for the final stage and the prize, Wario claims the prize for himself. With the help of an Alien Bunny, Wario affixes the Pot of Luxeville to his head and becomes Wario Deluxe. He uses a basket attached to a set of balloons to float high above Diamond City Stadium, then fights the player. Midway through, Wario Deluxe uses his powers to prevent the player from seeing the guide depicting the inputs for the incoming microgames. Lulu later appears to help the player win, by popping some of Wario Deluxe's balloons then jumping up to Wario Deluxe to try and pull the pull the pot off his head. Lulu's interference stops Wario Deluxe's powers.

After all of his microgames have been completed, Wario Deluxe loses. His balloons pop and he and Lulu fall to the ground. Lulu takes back the Pot of Luxeville, reverting Wario Deluxe to Wario. Wario's friends arrive asking for their payment. While Wario tries to run away, a short scuffle ensues ending with them taking Wario's suitcase full of the money from the Wario Bowl. Most of it was spent, with Wario implying the balloons Wario Deluxe used made up some of the expenses. The employees split the remaining coins amongst themselves and Wario. They also give the player 10,000 coins. The player winds up with the Wario Bowl trophy.

Tournament rules[edit]

Tournament ID[edit]

The player's Save Data is represented by their Tournament ID. It has space for a name and an picture, both of which are filled in by selecting a Mii. Doing so is required, as each Save Data must have a Mii. This is enforced because Save Data can only be created through confirming Mii selection.

Tournament fee[edit]

An entrance fee of 10,000 coins is required when the player accesses Story mode for the first time. WarioWare Gold gives the player this amount of money when starting up the game for the first time, with the only unlocked option on the main menu being Story mode. Therefore, these coins are only usable to pay the entrance fee.

Leagues[edit]

The Wario Bowl is made up of four different leagues, each of which has a different set of inputs for their microgames. There is a stage for each of the five genres introduced prior to the Ultra League in every league except the Ultra League.

  • Ultra League: Has three stages. The microgames in each stage can use any of the three inputs from the prior leagues, with no rules dictating the order in which microgames using different inputs can appear. However, the inputs used for each microgame is indicated by the guide before it begins. All of the prior characters, excluding Wario, split up into two groups based on the genre of their microgames: The Dancing Team has everyone with That's Life and Sports microgames, and the Potluck Gang has everyone with Fantasy and Nintendo Classics microgames. Each group hosts one stage, which reuses the microgames from the involved characters. Mike and Fronk are part of both groups, adding their microgames to both stages.
