Microgame
Microgames are shorter versions of mini-games appearing in the WarioWare series. The average microgame is 8 beats (about 4 seconds) long, but Orbulon's, which usually require thinking, would often be 16 beats (8 seconds) long. Each WarioWare, Inc. developer typically has a different style or control type of microgame.
The term "microgame" is, according to Mario Party Advance's manual, also applied to any small challenge given in that game's quests. As such, the microgames of Mario Party Advance can be very varying in style, purpose, and simplicity; completing a microgame typically rewards the player with a Gaddget.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the WarioWare stage is made up of a series of microgames.
Lists of microgames are available for the following WarioWare games:
- WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania and Mega Party Game$!
