WarioWare Gold

Template:Infobox WarioWare Gold, known as Made in Wario Gorgeous (メイド イン ワリオ　ゴージャス Meido in Wario Gōjasu) in Japan, is the eighth game in the WarioWare series, and the only entry for the Nintendo 3DS family.

The title is a compilation of microgames from across the franchise, including a number of new additions as well. Many returning microgames, however, have been updated to new control schemes, scenarios and visuals. Overall, WarioWare Gold features 316 microgames, the largest collection in any WarioWare game to date, a record previously held by WarioWare: Twisted! for the Game Boy Advance.

WarioWare Gold is also notable as the first game in the series to feature fully voiced cutscenes. Most characters receive new voice actors, while Charles Martinet reprises his role as Wario in the English version.

Story

After stealing a golden pot from a temple at Luxeville, Wario comes to the realization that he is completely out of money. While reflecting on this in his house in Diamond City, Wario sees a report on television about Super Pyoro; a new entry in the Pyoro video game franchise that fans are eager to get their hands on. Acknowledging the money that could be made in the booming industry, Wario again sets out to capitalize on the video game craze. Using his laptop and a recording device, Wario streams his latest scheme to the residents of Diamond City; a gaming competition with a steep entry fee, but a ten million coin reward to the victor. True to form, Wario calls up his closest friends to do most of the work for him and again, they agree. With his fortune on the line, Wario sets out to begin Diamond City's first "Wario Bowl" games. Unbeknownst to Wario however, a small girl named Lulu is pursuing him in attempt to retrieve the golden pot that was stolen.

Story Mode

Story Mode is divided into 4 leagues. The first 3 leagues all use a different control scheme: the Mash League (using the buttons like in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!), the Twist League (using gyro controls like in WarioWare: Twisted!), and the Touch League (using the touch screen like in WarioWare: Touched!). The 4th league is called the Ultra League and it uses all three control schemes plus a fourth involving blowing the microphone. The Ultra League is hidden at the beginning of the game and must be unlocked. The first three leagues each consist of 5 stages, with each one having its own theme. The first stage is always an introduction stage hosted by Wario. The other 4 stages are hosted by one of Wario's friends and have one of the following themes: That's Life, Fantasy, Sports, and Nintendo Classics. All themes appear once in every league. In the Ultra League, there are 3 stages, including two "remix" stages which compile all the microgames from six of the previous stages, and center on two of the themes, and a final stage hosted by Wario's newest alter-ego, Wario Deluxe, which compiles all the microgames from the introduction stages and a brand-new set centered on a new theme: Anything Goes.

Who Is Wario Deluxe? Wario tells the player that he has claimed the reward. Wario puts on the pot of Luxeville and transforms into Wario Deluxe.

He then challenges the player to the last of his microgames, but sometime during the challenge, he uses his new powers to confuse the player by hiding what function is needed for the coming games. He then suggests that the the player should surrender, but then Lulu appears and distracts him by shooting arrows into some of his balloons and grabbing the pot, allowing the player to defeat him. Afterwards, Lulu introduces herself as "Luxeville's greatest hero", but Wario doesn't see it. She then demands Wario to return the pot, but when he refuses, she squirts him with the Hydrocannon LX. The pot falls off and Wario reverts to his normal self. She reveals that the pot was actually a potty which shocks Wario. He allows her take it back and tells everyone-else to leave as the credits roll with Lulu flying on a balloon. The credits were interrupted by 9-Volt and the rest of the Warioware crew while Mona, Dribble, and Penny demand their pay. Wario decides to run off with a suitcase but is eventually tripped by Ashley's spell. Young Cricket secures Wario to the ground while 5-Volt takes a picture. The suitcase opens up which Spitz described as "Shiny". While 18-Volt reminds Wario that stealing is wrong, Kat realizes that they weren't paid enough and Ana believed that Wario spent it on balloons. Jimmy T. and Dr. Crygor jokingly agree to split the pay and Orbulon promises Wario a share of the cut. While the crew agrees to split the cut, Wario is displeased.

Pre-release and unused content

An early version of Penny Crygor's intro cutscene exists in the game's files. This cutscene mostly consists of sketches by the game's character design Ko Takeuchi, and features a few minor differences in character and background designs as well, like for the laboratory in the background.

Trivia

• Because the game is fully voiced for all regions, WarioWare Gold marks the first game since Mario Kart: Super Circuit where Wario is voiced by someone other than Charles Martinet, and the first game since Mario Kart 64 to give him different voice actors for different international markets.
