==Gameplay==
===How to play===
This game is about playing microgames. The games that are played will be counted by a counter. The counter starts with the number 1. The player can mess up 3 times, but losing a 4th time will result in a Game Over. The amount of microgames the player has played is his/her score. To keep the player on his/her toes, speed will get faster after a while. After playing enough games, a Boss Game will appear. These games don’t have time limit, but they are more difficult. After the Boss Stage, the stage will be completed. If the player already completed the stage, the player will get a souvenir and the game continues. Microgames will be more difficult or played at a higher speed from this point.
===Terms the player needs to know===
*Faster - Microgames will be played faster, duh!
*Boss Stage - A boss game will be played.
*1-Up - If the player wins a boss game, the player gets an extra life (if the life count is lower than 4).
*Harder - The games are harder to complete. It was called Level Up in earlier WarioWare games.
===What are microgames?===
Microgames are very short and simple games. Objectives of the game are always different. Depending on the game, the player must do something within a limited amount of time or he/she must prevent something from happening until the timer runs out. So if the objective is Take it!, the player needs to do something to take the object and win the microgame. If the objective is Dodge!, the player must prevent form being hit by something to win. Get it? It's easy. A bomb in the bottom of the screen shows the time the player has to complete the microgames. Time limit for microgames is usually 8 beats, but sometimes, it takes 16 beats to complete, depending on the difficulty. Boss games don’t have a normal time limit. Microgames appear in three difficulty levels. If the microgame is played in a higher difficulty, the player usually needs to do more or longer actions to win these games. In other words, Microgames are short minigames.
==Game Modes==

Encountered microgames in Game Stage mode will also become available in Microgame List mode. When the player wins more stages, microgames from multiple (already played) collections get mixed together in the same stage, testing the player if he/she really mastered the games.
