Summary
WarioWare D.I.Y. (known as WarioWare: Do It Yourself overseas) turns the DS into a sandbox for bite‑sized chaos. Every micro‑game, from the goofy characters to the win condition, is built from the ground up by the player.
The main menu splits the experience into five hubs: D.I.Y. Studio for designing games, WarioWare Inc. for tutorials, D.I.Y Shop where you crank out cartridges, Options Garage for tweaks, and the Distribution Center that hooks you into online swapping.
Creation isn’t limited to graphics; you can record a tune by humming into the microphone, which the system maps to whimsical instruments—from pig squeals to chiptune blips—much like the music tools in Mario Paint.
Before Nintendo Wi‑Fi Connection retired, the service let you send creations to friends, download community games, and even download special “Big Name Games” made by celebrities, expanding the already huge pool of 167 pre‑installed microgames featuring the usual crew.
Storyline
One night Dr. Crygor dreams of playing on a console that looks like a Wii with a Classic Controller. The characters burst from the screen, prompting him to create the Super MakerMatic 21 – a device that can instantly produce Nintendo DS games, Wii titles, comic books, graphic novels, and even music tracks. While assembling the machine, Wario shows up with a broken TV to fix and mistakes the invention for another television. Crygor explains its true power, and Wario sees a chance to rebuild his fortune by reviving WarioWare, Inc. and launching the new subsidiary Wario‑Man Software.
However, several key staff – Mona, Jimmy T., Ashley and Red, Orbulon, and 9‑Volt – have left for the rival Diamond Software and its offshoots, Diamond Studios and Diamond Publishing. The remaining crew, including Dr. Crygor, Penny, Young Cricket, Master Mantis, Dribble, Spitz, Kat, Ana, and 18‑Volt, enlist the player, a shop manager, to help create new games, books, and records using the MakerMatic.
Thus, WarioWare D.I.Y. centers on the chaotic collaboration of these characters as the player churns out fresh microgames, comics, and soundtracks while trying to outpace the competition.
