List of WarioWare Gold microgames
This page lists all the 316 microgames included in WarioWare Gold. Each microgame falls under a control scheme – "Mash", "Twist", "Touch" or "Blow" – and a genre – "Intro Games", "Sports", "That's Life", "Fantasy", "Nintendo Classics", "Mic", "Pop-Up", or "Anything Goes." Many microgames in this game are from previous titles in the WarioWare series.
A microgame with an italic font means that it lasts twice as long.

Microgames in this league are played using buttons only. Some games use the , others the , and some of them use both.
Wario
Wario's first set of Intro Games introduces the "mash" controls to the player. Wario is featured in all games in some form. All six regular microgames are played before the boss microgame. His intermission stage consists of him sitting on a chair and a jumbotron consisting of a crowd, the Mash League logo, a yellow stage, and yellow speakers. The number of lives is represented by garlic. When the player wins, Wario cheers. If the player loses, Wario falls, the league logo dangles, and the crowd on the jumbotron boos. When the player loses all their lives, Wario's background changes, the jumbotron shuts off, and the speakers blow out. After the player continues during the first playthrough, the background changes back to normal, the jumbotron turns back on and Wario gets back up.

When the player loses all their lives, the text box says "You were defeated!" The "Speed Up", "Boss Encounter", and "Game Over" tunes all receive 8-bit remixes. If the player continues on the first playthrough, 9-Volt and Fronk are revived as an 8-bit fanfare plays. Like in Mega Microgame$! and unlike other characters, there is also a level indicator to indicate the microgame difficulty. The microgame difficulty is also determined by the time of day with Level 1 set in the day, Level 2 set during sunset, and Level 3 set at night. Also, the HUD text turns red on the player's last life.

Ultra League
Microgames introduced in this league are played alongside games from the previous sets. In the first two stages, the boss microgames are always played on the highest difficulty level. The themes are as follows:
Dancing Team
The Dancing Team consists of Dr. Crygor, Mona, Penny, Jimmy T, Kat, Ana, Young Cricket, Master Mantis, Mike, and Fronk. Their microgames are incorporated into the bundle along with Mike's and Fronk's. Their intermission stage consists of them on the dance floor as silhouettes on the top screen. The bottom screen displays the silhouette of the next game's developer. The number of lives is represented by disco balls. When the player wins a game, the dance floor is lighted up and the characters celebrate. When the player loses, the characters fall on their backs (current microgame's host included), and a disco ball drops. Boss microgames are automatically on level 3 and cycle in this order: Punch Out, Toilet Training, Top Notch, Nail Call, Basic Training, Pro Bowling.
Description
"Jimmy T is back and ready to par-TAY! Up next we got the Ultra League. Get excited, 'cause we're gonna mix up the controls from the Mash, Twist, and Touch leagues! The Dancing Team's headin' over to Club Joe now with all their Sports and That's Life games... Fronk and Mike are going to be there too, and they got a few surprises up their sleeves. Ooooh yeaaah!"
"Yo! It's Jimmy! Thanks to you, Club Joe is the hottest spot in town. The Dancing Team's there all the time. Come check us out whenever you get a chance. We got all sorts of games, with Sports and That's Life themes. We got Mic and Pop-Up games too! All right..." (second description)
Potluck Gang
The Potluck Gang consists of Dribble, Spitz, 5-Volt, Ashley, Red, 18-Volt, 9-Volt, Orbulon, Mike, and Fronk. Their microgames are incorporated into the bundle along with Mike's and Fronk's. Their intermission stage consists of them playing a card game with a hidden card in the touch screen. The number of lives is represented by kabobs. When the player wins a microgame, everyone in the background cheers, and the card reveals the microgame's host. If the player loses, the screen gets dark, the characters faint, a kabob burns and drops, and the card reveals a mandrake. Boss microgames are automatically on level 3 and cycle in this order: One Hit Wonder, Crossing Guard, Sneaky Snatcher, Nose Dive, Super Mario Bros., Clawing for More.
The designs of the characters' cards are as follows:
- Ashley - Purple card with magic patterns
- 9-Volt - Blue card with + Control Pad patterns
- Dribble - Red card with tire patterns
- Orbulon - Pink card with space patterns
- 5-Volt - Lime-green card with utensil patterns

Microgames
Mike and Fronk have microgames that are exclusive to the Ultra League. The microgames are:
Mike
Mike's microgames are based around blowing on the microphone, like in WarioWare: Touched! They can be unlocked during the Ultra League stages, "Dancing Team" (Grape Aim, Make a Wish, and Thar He Blows) and "Potluck Gang" (Grape Aim, Hit the Gust, and Lung Capacity).
Image/Name | Origin | Description | Passing score |
---|---|---|---|
Grape Aim |
Original | "Shoot the grapes. With blow darts. Once the grapes are in the target. Blow with all your might." | 15 |
Hit the Gust |
Touched! | "The mouse in the wind-powered car wants that cheese. Don't overshoot. Or he might get trapped." | 25 |
Lung Capacity |
Touched! | "Imagine you are a trumpet. Blow one long note. The audience will inexplicably love it." | 15 |
Make a Wish |
Original | "Blow away. The dandelion fluff. Do not be concerned if you see a butterfly. Just blow." | 20 |
Thar He Blows |
Twisted! | "Continue to inflate this balloon. Until it pops. If you ran out of air. Take a breath. Recommence blowing." | 15 |
Fronk
Fronk's microgames are, like in WarioWare: Twisted!, shorter than regular ones. Referred to as Pop-Up microgames, they can be unlocked during "Dancing Team" (Answering Machine, Feed on Fronk, and Vicious Veggies), "Potluck Gang" (The Claw, Fronk Fishing, and Sliding Doors), and "Wario Deluxe" (Tread Carefully).
Image/Name | Origin | Description | Passing score |

Answering Machine |
Original | "Pick up the phone right away when it rings. The correct phone, that is." | 25 |
The Claw |
Mega Microgame$! | "Stop the crane at just the right spot to pick up a mini Fronk. Aren't they so cute?" | 20 |
Feed on Fronk |
Twisted! | "Spin the dolphin to feed it, and remember, it can eat with only one side of its body. Hold on! It appears I'M the main course?!" | 15 |
Fronk Fishing |
Twisted! | "Want to know what it's like to control gravity? Just tilt your system, and watch what happens to the water's surface." | 15 |
Sliding Doors |
Original | "Let's not overcomplicate things. Slide to open and close the door." | 25 |
Tread Carefully |
Touched! | "Save the mini Fronks from a perilous fate by blowing into the mic, or doing nothing at all!" | 30 |
Vicious Veggies |
Twisted! | "Help me protect Earth from danger with a single punch. I told you I was more than just an apprentice..." | 20 |
Wario Deluxe
These microgames are themed after Wario, and can be unlocked during the last stage of the Ultra League, "Wario Deluxe". All of Wario's introduction microgames are bundled together and automatically on level 2. Much like in Mega Microgame$, the theme of Wario Deluxe's microgames is called Anything Goes. His intermission stage consists of him wearing the pot and floating away on a balloon basket. After 10 rounds are cleared, Wario Deluxe gains electric powers and zaps the screen before each microgame and hides the style hints, but only Wario's introduction microgames are played at this point. After four of these microgames are cleared, Lulu appears to pop most of the balloons with her arrows and start fighting with Wario Deluxe, and the style hints return. The number of lives is represented by gold bars. When the player wins a microgame, the crowd cheers and the screen gets brighter. If Lulu is on screen at the time, she gives two fingers up as well. If the player loses, the screen darkens, the crowd boos, and a gold bar is smashed. If Lulu is on screen at the time, she gets upset. When the boss is defeated, all the balloons pop, except for one which Lulu floats down on, and Wario Deluxe falls as a result. When the player loses all their lives, a different "Game Over" tune is heard, and Wario Deluxe throws Lulu off of him if she is on-screen at the time. If the player continues on the first playthrough, Wario Deluxe will say “Oh! Don’t know when to quit?”, and Lulu jumps back on Wario if she was on-screen at the time. Unlike his normal counterpart, Wario Deluxe actually wants the player to lose.

"What are YOU doing here?! Are you thinking you could beat ME? THE Wario?! Well, think again. The theme for this last stage is Anything Goes. That's right! You're about to see all kinds of crazy stuff! I'd pay attention if I were you. I'm not gonna make this easy!"
"What's this? Now you want to challenge Wario Deluxe? If you insist... Remember, Anything Goes in this stage. And the crazier I can make this, the better! I hope you like losing." (second description)
