|''WarioWare: D.I.Y.'' allows players to create their own microgames as well as play some premade microgames with the [[Super MakerMatic 21]], a machine that can also make music records and 4-page black-and-white comics. When Wario is amazed by this invention and its potential to make huge fortunes, he restarts his company, but many of his employees have quit, so he decides to have the player make the games for him.

Showcase'' features downloadable post-release updates and an unlockable versus mode where minigames are played in a shuffled format.

|''WarioWare Gold'' was the first entry in the series to see its first release in Western territory, in its case in Europe, as well as the only installment to be initially released for [[Nintendo 3DS]]. It features a total of over 300 microgames (the most featured in any series entry to date), consisting of microgames returning from each of the previous games in the series in addition to new ones. The games involve multiple functions: from pressing buttons to tilting the system, from touching the touch screen to blowing on the microphone. ''Gold'' also features full voice acting, the first ''WarioWare'' game to do so, with an additional feature allowing players to overdub their voice over the game's cutscenes.

This game is also notable for having a more unique plot compared to other ''WarioWare'' games. It begins with Wario stealing a [[Pot of Luxeville|golden pot]] from the village of [[Luxeville]]. Realizing that he is completely broke, he views a TV report on the success of a new video game, then capitalizes on this by hosting a video game tournament with a huge reward to the victor. Unbeknownst to him, a small girl named [[Lulu]] is pursuing him in an attempt to retrieve the pot he had stolen, which at the end of the game is revealed to be nothing more than a toilet.
The game's plot begins with Wario stealing a [[Pot of Luxeville|golden pot]] from the rural village of [[Luxeville]]. Realizing that he is completely broke, he views a TV report on the success of a new video game, then capitalizes on this by hosting a video game tournament with a huge reward to the victor but an expensive entry fee. Unbeknownst to him, a small girl named [[Lulu]] is pursuing him in an attempt to retrieve the pot he had stolen, which at the end of the game is revealed to be merely a toilet used by the people of Luxeville.


Aside from Lulu, this game also introduces [[13-Amp]]; both would make further appearances throughout the series.
