The '''Variety Towers''' are a group of sidemodes found in the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series. They consist of three or four towers, each proposing a challenge to the player. They can be unlocked after beating the main mode or by completing a previous tower with a certain score. Most of these towers are provided to the player as an additional challenge, though in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', they are visited during the story when [[Wario]] and his crew are looking for [[Red (WarioWare series)|Red]], [[Master Mantis]] and [[Lulu]]. In ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'', the backgrounds are temples, instead of towers.

The intermission stage of the Variety Towers are generally the same, consisting of the inside of an elevator with the animal (or its face) on the doors, which open to reveal the microgame. If the player wins, the animal shows a happy emotion. If the player loses, the animal is angry or dazed, and a life is lost.

'''All Mixed Up''' (known as '''Easy''' in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', '''Skyscraper''' in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', and '''Monster Megamix''' in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'') is the first Variety Tower the player encounters. In this tower, the player has to play a series of microgames, increasing in speed and difficulty, like in the main game. While regular microgames appear, boss microgames do not, so it is impossible to earn lives. ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'' is an exception; in this version, a boss microgame appears every 100 games. This tower is usually blue.

In the Ultra mode where commands are hidden, the colors are always black and gray with the outlines being white.

The title of this article is conjectural; an official name for the article's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title.

Thrill Ride
Thrill Ride as it appears in WarioWare: Get It Together!

The Variety Towers are a group of sidemodes found in the WarioWare series. They consist of three or four towers, each proposing a challenge to the player. They can be unlocked after beating the main mode or by completing a previous tower with a certain score. Most of these towers are provided to the player as an additional challenge, though in WarioWare: Get It Together!, they are visited during the story when Wario and his crew are looking for Red, Master Mantis and Lulu. In WarioWare: Move It!, the backgrounds are temples, instead of towers.

Most games featuring the Variety Towers have a motif around an animal:

The intermission stage of the Variety Towers are generally the same, consisting of the inside of an elevator with the animal (or its face) on the doors, which open to reveal the microgame. If the player wins, the animal shows a happy emotion. If the player loses, the animal is angry or dazed, and a life is lost.

While regular microgames appear, boss microgames do not, so it is impossible to earn lives. WarioWare: Smooth Moves is an exception; in this version, a boss microgame appears every 100 games. As with the other towers in Gold, the color changes depending on the microgame that is coming up: yellow for Mash, blue for Twist, and red for Touch.
