Gameplay

The game plays a lot differently than other WarioWare games. One of the main differences is that the game has longer minigames and doesn't focus on microgames like other titles in the series. Each minigame is played using the GamePad.

Story

Wario is watching television at his house. He changes channels, until noticing a reporting about a newly released console, featuring a controller with a screen (similar to the Wii U GamePad). In order to make a lot of money, Wario decides to create games for that console and starts working on his computer. His friends (Ashley, Kat and Ana, 9-Volt, etc.) in Diamond City also hear news about the console, and have shown interest in creating games for it as well.

Epilogue

Over at Toy Express, people are standing in line to buy Wario's new game (since it has become a huge hit), then Wario shows up to show his credit to it, but the fans outside mistake him for the game's villain: Captain Wario. They soon pull out planks and start moving them in a synchronized motion until they fling a large ball of energy at Wario, sending him airborne. Meanwhile at Club Sugar, the rest of the crew are enjoying the games they are playing until Wario crashes into the club, with Jimmy T. recognizing him since he loves to crash a party.

Microgames

Game & Wario features 22 microgames. Each one of them are featured in Gamer. They can also be unlocked and played individually by acquiring them from the Cluck-A-Pop machine.

Name Image Description
Gold Digger Everyone's favorite tried-and-true finger-in-the-nose game is back! But these honkers have got flair and originality! (A: Pick)
Mole Count the moles, but that means the moles ONLY! Well, you might have to count other things once in a while... (D-pad (up/down): Select A: Choose)
Rollout Roll the roller up and down to roll it out! Man, that's a lot of rolling... (D-pad (up/down): Roll)
Super Fly Swatter This just might be the world's biggest flyswatter. It's great for swatting multiple flies at once. It can even swat things that only look like flies! (D-pad: Move A: Swat)
Eye Exam Can you see this? Show me which direction it's facing. The nurse will occasionally pop in to help. Oh, and one more thing: our clinic is really popular these days. We apologize for all the people moving about. (D-pad/A: Answer)
Samurai Slice The wandering samurai from Rhythm Heaven has a part-time job at a fish factory?! Time the rhythm and get those fish sliced! (A: Slice)
Fake Out There's really not much difference between a fake and the real thing. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all. It goes without saying, therefore, that this game may not be what it seems. (A: Touch/Poke/Take apart)

Dinosaur Move left and right at the correct time to escape! You can tell which way Mr. Dino is going to go by the way he's facing. But sometimes he'll fake you out... (D-pad (left/right): Escape)
Ball (G&W) This is the G&W Ball, which Nintendo used to sell a looong time ago. Oh, G&W doesn't stand for GAME & WARIO. It stands for GAME & WATCH! (D-pad (left/right): Move hands)
Matryoshka Just take them apart! Or put them back together! (A: Take apart/Put together)
Dachshund Why didn't we call this game Wiener Dog? My boss told me not to... (A: Eat)

Homeward You'd think I could remember the way home. Nope! (D-pad (left/right): Select A: Choose)
Windbag Put a cork in it! That's really all there is to it. Oh, and watch out for the spiky balls falling from above and fish jumping from below! (D-pad (left/right): Move)
