WarioWare Gold

This article is about a game that has just been released on July 27, 2018 in Europe. Major changes should be made by a contributor who has a reliable source. This notice should be removed after a month has passed since the game was first released.

Template:Infobox WarioWare Gold, known as Made in Wario Gorgeous (メイド イン ワリオ　ゴージャス Meido in Wario Gōjasu) in Japan, is the eighth game in the WarioWare series, and the only entry for the Nintendo 3DS family. It was first released in Europe in July 27, 2018.

The title is a compilation of microgames from across the franchise, including a number of new additions as well. Many returning microgames, however, have been updated to new control schemes, scenarios and visuals. Overall, WarioWare Gold features 316 microgames, the largest collection in any WarioWare game to date, a record previously held by WarioWare: Twisted! for the Game Boy Advance.

WarioWare Gold is also notable as the first game in the series to feature fully voiced cutscenes. Most characters receive new voice actors, while Charles Martinet reprises his role as Wario in the English version.

Story

After stealing a golden pot from a temple at Luxeville, Wario comes to the realization that he is completely out of money. While reflecting on this in his house in Diamond City, Wario sees a report on television about Super Pyoro; a new entry in the Pyoro video game franchise that fans are eager to get their hands on. Acknowledging the money that could be made in the booming industry, Wario again sets out to capitalize on the video game craze. Using his laptop and a recording device, Wario streams his latest scheme to the residents of Diamond City; a gaming competition with a steep entry fee, but a ten million coin reward to the victor. True to form, Wario calls up his closest friends to do most of the work for him and again, they agree. With his fortune on the line, Wario sets out to begin Diamond City's first "Wario Bowl" games. Unbeknownst to Wario however, a small girl named Lulu is pursuing him in attempt to retrieve the golden pot that was stolen.

Story Mode

Story Mode is divided into 4 leagues. The first 3 leagues all use a different control scheme: the Mash League (using the buttons like in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!), the Twist League (using gyro controls like in WarioWare: Twisted!), and the Touch League (using the touch screen like in WarioWare: Touched!). The 4th league is called the Ultra League and it uses all three control schemes plus a fourth involving blowing the microphone. The Ultra League is hidden at the beginning of the game and must be unlocked. The first three leagues each consist of 5 stages, with each one having its own theme. The first stage is always an introduction stage hosted by Wario. The other 4 stages are hosted by one of Wario's friends and have one of the following themes: That's Life, Fantasy, Sports, and Nintendo Classics. All themes appear once in every league. In the Ultra League, there are 3 stages, including two "remix" stages which compile all the microgames from six of the previous stages, and center on two of the themes, and a final stage hosted by Wario's newest alter-ego, Wario Deluxe, which compiles all the microgames from the introduction stages and a brand-new set centered on a new theme: Anything Goes.

Challenge Mode

Challenge Mode features stages with altered rules. Challenge mode is unlocked after completing Story Mode. The following Challenge stages have been confirmed.

Stage	Description
All Mixed Up	All the microgames from all stages are mixed together.
Thrill Ride	All the microgames are mixed together and only one life is avaiable.
Super Hard	All the microgames are mixed at high speed.
WarioWatch	Similar to its version in WarioWare: Twisted!. No lives can be lost in this mode. Instead, the game ends when the clock reaches 0. When a microgame is completed, more time is added to the clock. Microgames must be completed as fast as possible to get high scores.
Sneaky Gamer	Similar to its version in Game & Wario. The player controls 9-Volt playing microgames after bedtime while avoiding being caught by 5-Volt. When 9-Volt hides, he becomes tired, so he cannot hide for a long time. When 5-Volt discovers 9-Volt playing or when 9-Volt becomes too tired, the game ends.
Wario Interrupts	All microgames from all stages are mixed together. Wario Deluxe unleashes several distractions like blocking the screen during a microgame. Lulu can be called to eliminate the distraction.
Cruise Controls	Control the speed of Dribble and Spitz's taxi by tilting the Nintendo 3DS. The faster the taxi's speed, the faster the microgames are played. The player must complete a set of 15 microgames in as little time as possible.
Split Screen	Kat and Ana take turns at playing microgames. Kat's games are played on the top screen of the Nintendo 3DS, while Ana's are played on the bottom. There are no transitions between games, so the player has little time to prepare.
Battle Time	This is a multiplayer mode hosted by Young Cricket and Master Mantis. Two players can compete with each other and the first who loses all his/her lives loses.
