Wario and his game developers are back with a new selection of touch screen microgames. By touching, rubbing, spinning and blowing, you have to clear each microgame in a few seconds and aim for the high score.
Each character specialises in a particular kind of input. Jimmy T is all about rubbing, while new girl Ashley requires you to drag things around. Crygor is spin master, and Mike requires you to blow on the microphone.
You can unlock loads of strange toys that let you play with the stylus. Some have no purpose, such as the custard pudding, while some are full minigames in themselves.

The intro movie for 9-Volt, the Nintendo fanboy, features a number of Nintendo references:
The brief minigame during the intro involves dropping a GameCube game "36-Volt Man" into the system. There is also a Game Boy Advance cart on the floor.
9-Volt and 18-Volt then play the game, which plays sound effects from Super Mario Bros.
When they finish playing, 9-Volt plays his decks while his Nintendo consoles dance in the foreground. In order they are:
There is a poster of Diskun (the mascot for the Famicom Disk System) in the background.
9-Volt's turntables have mini Mario and Luigi figures on them. Lose a microgame and they fall over.
The decks also feature the words "Nine-Volt" written in the style of the Nintendo logo, and the layout resembles an NES Controller.
As in previous WarioWare games, 9-Volt's microgames are all themed on classic Nintendo games, systems and toys.
Based on Super Mario Bros. Collect the specified number of coins from the blocks and Mario will appear. Sometimes you have to grab coins from secret blocks.

Notes on Button Masher & Famicom Microgames
In the Button Masher and Famicom microgames there are three titles you have to play, all based on real NES games:
In Jimmy T.'s "Chalk Full" microgame, you sometimes have to clean a drawing of Mario from the chalkboard.
In Jimmy T.'s "Power Chord" microgame, the rock star has a tattoo of Diskun on his upper arm. Diskun was the mascot for the Famicom Disk System.
In Crygor's "Spin a Yarn" microgame, the third difficulty level has you unravelling a green vest. Hiding inside is Luigi from the Mario series, who jumps and makes an 'L' shape with his body.
In Warioman's "You Scratch Mine" microgame, you have to scratch Wario's back. On the second difficulty level you also have to scratch Mario's, and on the third difficulty you have to scratch Toad's as well.
In Warioman's "Where's Wario" microgame, you have to spin a 3D ball to find the picture of Wario. On the hardest difficulty you will have to search through a bunch of pixellated characters to find the 8-bit style Wario sprite based on the arcade Mario Bros. Other characters include Luigi, Goombas and Koopa Troopas from the Mario series, all wearing Wario's yellow headgear.

In Mona's "Quite Puzzled" microgame, you have to solve a sliding puzzle by moving panels to match the top screen. One of the solutions shows a joker card with a merman on it. This was an actual Joker card from Nintendo's early days as a playing card manufacturer.
Wario's description for the "Hot Flash" microgame is as follows:
"Get me out of all these clothes! I'm sweating like a Goomba at a plumber parade!"
This is a reference to the Mario series.

In Crygor's boss stage "Living Room Rally", the remote control is the same red and gold design as the controller for the Japanese Famicom.

In Mona's introduction, you get to watch the music charts. There are a number of references to the earlier WarioWare titles:
One of the toybox items that you unlock by playing the game is called Wario Paint. The game itself is a limited version of Mario Paint, and the toy icon is the Japanese boxart for the game, with Wario's nose where Mario used to be. In this mode you can select a drawing of a WarioWare character and colour them in with the colour bar along the top of the screen.
Another toybox item is this record player. You can only select three songs on it:
Mr. Game & Watch is the representative of the Game & Watch systems, who made his debut in Super Smash Bros. Melee. He makes a number of appearances in this game:

When you complete a character's set, they go to the Hawt House. If you look on the top screen you can see a number of flying objects in the sky.
One of these flying objects is Satoru Iwata, the president of Nintendo.
