Pro Bowl is a souvenir in WarioWare Gold. It is a minigame which can be unlocked in the game's Toy Room. Pro Bowl is quite similar to the microgame Pro Bowling, in which the player must use a stylus to roll a bowling ball to knock down a set of pins. However, unlike in the microgame, the pins are always set up in standard bowling position rather than in different varities, and the player only has 2 balls to roll instead of 4 to knock down pins.

The standard bowling rules apply to this minigame. There are a total of 10 frames. If the player knocks down all the pins in one frame after using both balls, they will receive a spare. If they are able to knock down all the pins in one frame by using just one ball, it will result in a strike.

Additionally, there is a multiplayer option, in which the player can play with a friend and will take turns bowling. The person with the highest score after 10 rounds is the winner.

Compared to Pro Bowling, there is no time limit to throw each ball, and the in-level BGM is significantly extended from 16 to 54 seconds.
