WarioWare, Inc.

WarioWare, Inc. is a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It takes its name, as well as its theme, from Wario's games, the WarioWare franchise. Occasionally, the stage takes players from the main "elevator" into a microgame, and allows them to compete to obtain some sort of award. The microgames are able to damage characters, as a screen shot depicting a "Kitty Cover" game shows the characters in the rain taking non-flinching damage. Once a game ends, the winners and losers (those who accomplished the goal and those who didn't) are marked with Os and Xs. The winners get rewards such as Super Mushrooms, Stars, item drops and even damage recovery. Not every microgame can be won by all participants, however. Occasionally, two microgames will take place in quick succession. Players will only receive rewards for the second game.

In WarioWare, microgames had three difficulty levels, which seems to have been implemented in the WarioWare stage, but difficulties seem to be as random as the game selection. For most microgames, the rise in difficulty simply makes it harder to complete. A few of them, however, keep the same task but give a shorter time limit for the players to finish it in.

If one is playing using the Wii Remote, Wii Remote and Nunchuk, or the Classic Controller, the mini-speaker will play Wario's comment on the success (or failure) on the microgame.

The "Elevator Room" is a recurring level in WarioWare games in which every possible microgame in the game can appear. The animal drawn on the Elevator is different for every game. In Brawl's case, the Pig comes from the Original Wario Ware Inc.: Mega Microgame$. The expression on the pig's face changes to reflect whether the microgame was won or lost. If somebody achieves the goal, it will become cheerful, but if everyone loses, it frowns and its eyes turn into crosses. In training mode, even when computers are set to stand, they will still participate in microgames.

The Microgames
The following microgames have been shown in the WarioWare stage thus far:
 * "Kitty Cover" (Stay dry!): A cat walks around in a rainstorm, and the player originally had to move the umbrella with the D-Pad so that the cat would remain dry in the non-rainy area provided by the umbrella's cover. In Brawl, characters have to stay under the umbrella, and not get wet. The rain does minor damage to all fighting characters, and the cat is in the background. Characters can remain in the rain for roughly half a second before it starts to damage them, causing them to fail.
 * "Arrow Space" (Sidestep!): A tiny ninja outside a Japanese fortress in the background is target of a wall of arrows raining from above, and the player originally had to move the ninja with the D-Pad into the area where there was a gap between the arrows. In Brawl, characters have to dodge the arrows with any ways. The arrows are damaging to whoever they hit, and the ninja appears in the background. You can easily complete this in Brawl by going to the far sides of the stage.
 * "Crack Down" (Jump!): A giant with a hammer in the background smashes down on a mountain to generate an earthquake, and the player originally had to make a chicken in the foreground jump off the ground with A at the right time so that it wouldn't be hit by the tremor. In Brawl, characters should be in midair when the quake occurs so they won't be damaged and pounded into the ground. The chicken is not present. The giant may feint.
 * "Lose Your Marble" (Chisel it!; just simply called "Chisel!" in the PAL version): A giant stone block appears in the middle of the arena. Players originally had to use the touch screen to chisel away at the block to reveal a statue. In Brawl, characters just have to attack the block to chisel away at it. If finished all players who helped are rewarded, otherwise nobody wins. Moves such as Aether and Final Cutter are ideal for chiselling large areas of marble. Objects inside the stone block include a toilet, an Easter Island statue and the famous Michelangelo's David - these objects all appeared in Touched! and their appearances vary, depending on the difficulty.
 * "Blowin' Up" (Pop it!; just simply called "Pop!" in the PAL version): A series of party poppers appear in the air. In Touched!, the player had to use the stylus to pull the strings on the crackers and make the confetti fire out. In "Brawl", characters just have to attack the party poppers to set them off. There can be from one to three poppers at a time, and anyone who pops one wins, but only if all of them are popped. The blurred image in the background comes into focus if the task is completed. This will be a cartoon picture of either a birthday, a wedding or a Halloween party, depending on whether the difficulty was easy, medium or hard.
 * "Don't Move": A sitting marble statue and the words "Don't Move" appear in the background. Simply stop moving. Specifically, refrain from making any input on the controller. If a character is attacked by someone else, they can still win, despite technically having moved. Some gamers choose not to complete this microgame and instead try to unleash fully charged smash attacks on their immobile opponent(s) for an easy KO.
 * "Sole Survivor" (Look out!): Players must avoid a giant foot falling from the top of the screen. A shadow on the ground shows its location. All the players must do is to not get hit. If the foot does land on a character, they will be buried in the ground as if trapped in a Pitfall.
 * "Rushing Parts" (Dodge!): Characters need to jump at the appropriate time to dodge various objects with wheels. An arrow warns players when to jump (similar to the Onett stage). Depending on the difficulty, the vehicle will either dash past, dash past while doing a short hop, or stop in the mid dash for a few seconds before continuing.
 * "Taunt": Simply do taunts when the camera flashes to win. It is still possible to win if you are attacked, as long as the animation for the character's taunt had begun. In the background, you can see a projection of Jimmy T, a recurring character of the WarioWare series.

Trivia

 * While going through a Microgame, each one will play a different jingle before the counter reaches zero. However, this only happens if the song that is playing for the whole stage is "WarioWare, Inc." If any of the other songs such as "Ashley's Song", or "WarioWare, Inc. Medley" play for the stage, the jingles will not occur.


 * If Andross is released from an Assist Trophy while the Brawl is in the main room, he will disappear behind the doors.


 * Most of the Microgames in this stage came straight from the actual WarioWare series.
