WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! 2003

Is it still worth playing?

Nintendo's 2003 action game for the Game Boy Advance, the first WarioWare, about completing microgames, short minigames given one after another at increasing speed. It has over 210 microgames across nine stages hosted by Wario and his companions, each built around a theme, with remix stages that bring back earlier microgames. In each stage the microgames come consecutively with a simple prompt, and failing one, by losing or running out of time, costs one of four lives, and the stage ends when they run out. The game speeds up as you play, shortening the time limits. After a set number of microgames you face a boss stage, a longer microgame, and once a stage is cleared you can replay it for a high score. A single stage is still a quick burst, across over two hundred games of a few seconds each.
