Megagame Muscles
Megagame Muscles is one of the extra stages in the Story mode of WarioWare: Move It!, hosted by Mr. Sparkles. Acting as the successor to the Kelorometer in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, the stage features 20 microgames that primarily focus on vigorous movements.
The intermission stage consists of Dr. Crygor standing on a stone fist as Mr. Sparkles floats in the air, wearing a toga and making poses. Mr. Sparkles moves up close holding a stone tablet to show the form. Similar to the Kelorometer, a four-digit muscle density indicator is present above Dr. Crygor with a gold frame, and a swirling vortex shows how many microgames (referred to as reps) are left.
If the player wins regardless of how much muscle they gained, Dr. Crygor jumps around, swinging large golden dumbells and exerting heavy effort. If the player loses but still gains muscle (or in the case of megagames, performs poorly), Dr. Crygor moves side-to-side holding small gray dumbells and exerting less effort; if the player loses and does not gain any muscle, Dr. Crygor lays on the fist, resting. After all the microgames are completed, Mr. Sparkles picks up Dr. Crygor and shakes him, with his body transforming based on how much muscle has been gained. Upon scoring a muscle density of 4400 or higher, the next extra stage is unlocked.
In multiplayer, Mike is also present on a stone fist as the second player, behaving in the same manner as Dr. Crygor. The stage also becomes competitive, with the player who gains the highest muscle density winning.
