A gyroscopic sensor built into the cartridge is the entire premise of this 2004 Game Boy Advance release: almost every microgame is controlled by physically rotating the console, with a rumble motor buzzing in response. Like the earlier Mega Microgame$, it throws a rapid string of tasks lasting a few seconds each, here things like turning a key, spinning a ballerina, or steering an umbrella, and speeds them up as you survive.
Wario and his crew of characters, including Mona, Jimmy T. and 9-Volt, each host a themed stage, and clearing them unlocks a large pile of souvenirs, from toys to tiny music players. The game was released in Japan, North America and Australia but never in Europe. Because the sensor is hardware in the cartridge, how well it plays on an emulator depends entirely on whether tilt input is being simulated.
Tips for WarioWare: Twisted!
Most microgames respond to how far you rotate rather than how fast, so small, deliberate turns usually beat frantic spinning.
Read the one-word command at the start of each microgame; it often hints whether to rotate or simply press the button.
