Bomb (WarioWare series)

Artwork of the Wario Bomb.

The Wario Bomb is the logo for Wario's software Company, WarioWare, Inc.

In the WarioWare games, it is used as a timer to show how much time is left to complete the current microgame. The fuse on the bomb is lit and slowly burns out. When the lit fuse reaches the bomb, the bomb will explode and the microgame is over. Usually, the time is 4 seconds (8 beats), but in some microgames which require of thinking or take more time to do, the time is 8 seconds (16 beats). Also, all Orbulon's microgames have 8 seconds (16 beats) of time, as they require thinking (except in WarioWare: Smooth Moves).

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl in the Wario Ware, Inc. stage, when a microgame appears, the Wario Bomb appears as a timer to show the player how much time is left to complete the current microgame, just as in the WarioWare games. When the lit fuse reaches the bomb, it will explode and the players return to the main area of the stage. The time given to complete the microgame is always 4 seconds (8 beats). It also appears in the back of Wario's biker jacket in this same game, although not seen on his jacket in the WarioWare games.

Trivia

• In WarioWare: Touched! if the player chooses in the game that they are left-handed, the Wario Bomb appears on the right corner rather than on the left corner. This doesn't happen in WarioWare: Smooth Moves.
• The Wario Bomb appears in the background of Wario City at night in Mario Super Sluggers as neon lights.
