WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, alternatively called WarioWare: Do It Yourself - Showcase in British English, is a game of the 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 microgames 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.
Due to the closure of the Wii Shop Channel at the end of January 2019, this application is no longer available to purchase.
There are three ways to get microgames in WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase:
- From DS to Wii
- From Wii to Wii
- From Nintendo to Wii
The player has also the option to send microgames to other players. The two ways are:
- From Wii to DS
- From Wii to Wii
Game Blender[edit]
- Main article: List of WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase microgames
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.

18-Volt Jet 18Volt |
Microgames involving Nintendo products | Just like 9-Volt in the DS version, 18-Volt's stage is based on a classic game, where 18-Volt stars in. Fronks appear as enemies, and 9-Volt seems to be a boss, oddly enough. | |
Wario-Man Software: Shuffle |
All the microgames of Wario's crew | 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. | |
Wario-Man Software: Ultra Hard |
All the microgames of Wario's crew | No story. Wario's TV turns on and the player must be ready to play some microgames. Microgames are at high speed from the beginning of the stage. |

Wii | Corbie Dillard, Nintendo Life | 8/10 | "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." |
