===''WarioWare'' series===
In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', that retells the story of its making (in view of the fiction), Wario got the idea to found a video game company in Diamond City when he watched [[Ken the Reporter|Ken]]'s report about the successful video game ''[[Pyoro]]''. Thinking that he could also make profit with a video game, he mounted his [[Wario Bike]] and took off in order to get [[Wario's Laptop|a laptop]]. Soon, [[Wario's House]] that layd on a mountain pillar was replaced with the headquarters of WarioWare, Inc., the newly founded company. However, shortly after Wario started working on the game with the laptop, he got tired. Then he came up with the idea to phone his friends who could help him on the game. All known people he called agreed, and in order to save money, he let them develop a lot of microgames rather than one full game.

In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', which tells the story of the company's making, Wario gets the idea to found a video game company in Diamond City when he watches [[Ken the Reporter]] covering the successful video game ''[[Pyoro]]''. Believing that he can also make a profit from making video games, he buys a new [[computer]] and replaces [[Wario's House|his house]], located on a mountain pillar, with the headquarters of WarioWare, Inc. He immediately appoints himself as the company's president. However, shortly after Wario starts working on the game with the computer, he gets tired. He then decides to phone his friends so that they can produce games on their own. This includes [[Mona]], [[Jimmy T|Jimmy T.]], [[Dribble & Spitz]], [[9-Volt]], [[Kat & Ana]], [[Orbulon]], and [[Dr. Crygor]]. Everyone that he calls agree to pitch in, although Wario is the only one receiving any profit.<ref>''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'' instruction booklet. Page 6. "''I don't wanna do any work, so I got my friends doin' the work for cheap–and the profits are all mine!''"</ref>


The first game of WarioWare, Inc. became a success, but Wario didn't want to share the profit with his friends, so he tried to escape with the money in a rocket attached to the building. However, his try failed because the flying [[Dr. Crygor]] crashed into the rocket, causing it to fall into the sea with Wario and the money.
The first game of WarioWare, Inc. becomes a success, but Wario does not want to share the profit with his friends, so he tries to escape with the money in a rocket attached to the building. However, his attempt fails because the flying [[Dr. Crygor]] crashes into the rocket, causing it to fall into the sea with Wario and the money. Several of the following games, including ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', and ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', continue to focus on Wario's attempts at making money, but WarioWare, Inc. is not mentioned.


The WarioWare, Inc. headquarters weren't seen in later games again, except for ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'', where the building was seen in the menu screen and in the ending sequence. In games since ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', Wario resides in his house which lies on the ground rather than the mountain pillar seen in the first two games. It isn't known what happened to the headquarters, but Wario still runs his business.  
====''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!''====
In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'', the building appears in the movie "Shiner Diner". After Mona launches a soccer ball, it goes through the chimney of WarioWare, Inc. The soccer ball lands on Wario's television, fixing it.


''WarioWare: Twisted!'', ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' and ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'' use special control schemes and the games did all result from quick ideas Wario got after using certain objects. For example, after Wario's [[Game Boy Advance]] transformed into a tilt-sensitive handheld without buttons thanks to Dr. Crygor's [[Gravitator]], he did quickly realize that he could make money with microgames based on this control scheme. In ''[[WarioWare: Snapped!]]'' which makes use of the [[Nintendo DSi]]'s camera, Wario even expanded his business to an amusement park named [[Wario Park]], while ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' allows players to create their own microgames.
====''WarioWare: D.I.Y.''====
[[File:WarioWare, Inc. DIY sprite.png|thumb]]
In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'', Mona, Jimmy T., Ashley, Orbulon and 9-Volt leave WarioWare, Inc. in favor of [[Diamond Software]]. Dr. Crygor one day gets the idea to make a machine that makes microgames. Wario and Penny introduce the machine to the player, so the player can make microgames for the company. They return to WarioWare, Inc. for the [[Wii U]] game, ''[[Game & Wario]]''.{{ref needed}}

In [[WarioWare D.I.Y.]], Mona, Jimmy T., Ashley, Orbulon, and 9-Volt had abandonned WarioWare in favor of [[Diamond Software]]. Dr. Crygor one day got the idea to make a machine that makes microgames. Wario and Penny introduces the machine to the player, so the player could make microgames for the company.

WarioWare, Inc. reappears as the main setting of ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'' This time, it appears as a small building between stores in a street in Diamond City. Wario's character gallery suggests that he and his crew relocated to a new building.

[[Image:Wario staff card comparison WWMM.png|thumb|Wario's staff card in the Japanese (top) and western versions (bottom) of the first ''WarioWare'' game, showing the western name of his company in both cases.]]
WarioWare, Inc. is mentioned in one of the news briefs found in [[Icepeak]] in the [[Nintendo DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|version]] of ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''.
In the West, WarioWare, Inc. or just WarioWare is both the name of Wario's company and the video game series. However, in Japan his company is known as '''Wario Company''' (ワリオカンパニー ''Wario Kanpanī'') and the games are called ''Made in Wario''. Despite this, the name WarioWare, Inc. was already introduced in the Japanese version of the very first game of the series, prior to the western release. On Wario's staff card shown in the opening sequence, it reads "WarioWare, Inc." (the capitalization varies) in both the Japanese and western versions. In the Japanese version, this was an exception, though.

A few more characters also appear as hosts of stages, namely [[Thang Family]] members, [[Fronk]] and [[Jimmy P.]], but it is rather unlikely that these are actually employees. The sidekicks Red and Master Mantis aren't told to be microgame developers, so it is arguable that they are employees, too. Furthermore, Wario also went through incarnations such as [[Wario-Man]] and [[Tiny Wario]].

In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, which tells the story of the company's making, Wario gets the idea to found a video game company in Diamond City when he watches Ken the Reporter covering the successful video game Pyoro. Believing that he can also make a profit from making video games, he buys a new computer and replaces his house, located on a mountain pillar, with the headquarters of WarioWare, Inc. He immediately appoints himself as the company's president. However, shortly after Wario starts working on the game with the computer, he gets tired. He then decides to phone his friends so that they can produce games on their own. This includes Mona, Jimmy T., Dribble & Spitz, 9-Volt, Kat & Ana, Orbulon, and Dr. Crygor. Everyone that he calls agree to pitch in, although Wario is the only one receiving any profit.[1]
