Microgame-specific

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!

Crazy Cars (WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!)

Crazy Cars (WarioWare Gold)

• Arrow Space: This microgame has merged with Drywall Dodge from WarioWare: Twisted!; level 1 plays like Arrow Space, level 2 plays like Drywall Dodge, and level 3 plays as a fusion of both microgames.
• Body Block: The watermelon is replaced with sports balls to fit into the "Sports" genre: there is a soccer ball in the first level, a basketball in the second level, and a volleyball in the third level. The person in each stage now dresses accordingly to match that sport and the backdrop is yellow. Additionally, if the ball is under or below the player even before it touches the bottom of the screen, the player will still lose the microgame.
• Bug Birdie: Instead of being themed after a golf course, the microgame is set in an ancient temple. The microgame's length is doubled, and it is possible to wraparound. Wario no longer walks backward. It is no longer possible to win with both Wario and the ball in the hole.
• Busted! (I Spy): The microgame takes the player one beat longer to catch Wario. He also moves around more on the harder difficulties, and no longer says "Give Up!" when he is caught.
• Butterfingers: The backdrop is now a yellow gradient, with some windows that have a brighter yellow gradient.
• Catterwall: The game has received a major redesign; for example, the cats move much more than they did previously and the setting has changed to a karaoke club.
• Cavity Calamity: The teeth look much more like actual teeth instead of lines, and close noticeably more slowly. The person's mouth changes depending on the difficulty.
• Chicken Pinch: The chicken bugs will randomly have a single hair on their heads. Pinching the hair counts as a failure. Additionally, the third level may include three chicken bugs coming in, with only one of them jumping high enough to be caught.
• Chiritorie: The black backdrop is now a wooden floor and the microgame has been completely retooled to use the "Twist" control scheme, in which the vacuum is now moving on its own and the player must tilt the system to maneuver the vacuum (much like Hard-Pressed from Twisted!). The remote is also nowhere to be seen.
• City Surfer: The graphics are now city-themed instead of being made of blue silhouettes, and the player may not need to jump twice on level 3.
• Classic Clash (Classic Clash III): The background is now a mountain instead of a desert. The microgame is now an old-TV screen, and Nintenman is redesigned as a Mario-like character. Also, the monster is now redesigned to resemble Bowser from Super Mario Bros.
• Code Buster: The game is now medieval-themed and each level has a different scenario; the difficulty levels involve completing the code to unlock a door, defeat a dragon, and leave the castle, respectively. The "Success" and "Failure" texts that appeared when the player won or lost the microgame respectively are replaced with animations.
• Crack Down: When the man swings the mallet, he makes a more dragged-out grunting sound. When the bird jumps, a spring sound can be heard.
• Crazy Cars: Three new cars - a teapot, door, and lightbulb - are added into the game. There is also a chance that the door car might spawn a different car.
• Down & Outie: The shirt in the third difficulty level is now purple much like the first, Wario has a muscular body in the second difficulty level, and the backdrop changes depending on the scenario. Wario has a big belly button that takes a little longer to cover in the third level.

• Gold Digger: The microgame reuses music and aesthetics from the Game & Wario version alongside some newer designs, such as the player having to pick a camel's nose or having to avoid picking a pierced nose.
• Ground Control (Paper Plane): The microgame has received a thematic overhaul; instead of a paper plane, the player controls a small, white character gliding on a leaf down a flowery well. If they crash into a wall, the character becomes a sapling as a winged halo flies away. The music samples from The Curious Factory from Wario Land 4, which was also used in the original extended Paper Plane theme.
• Heads Up: The curveballs have been removed, instead having the pitcher throw the ball high in the air or having the ball bounce before making it to the player in later levels. The night sky is more detailed.

If the princess reaches the prince, they fly away in a rocket and a constellation representing both characters fills the screen.
