One by one, they start to put the police cars out of action. Mona arrives at the Gelateria and clocks into work at the last second.

After school ends, 9-Volt goes home on his skateboard. Once he arrives at home, 9-Volt spins records in his room, and begins remixing a new song. GB uses its robotic arm to insert a cartridge into itself, starting a game modeled after a turn-based role-playing game. Ken the Reporter suddenly appears and announces that the Game Boy Advance SP is on sale now. Excited by this, 9-Volt leaves the house, his skateboard transforms into a hoverboard, and he rushes off before later showing up at the Gelateria.

Orbulon is headed toward Diamond City's planet with his UFO called the Porker, when a meteoroid flies right into the spaceship and damages it. Orbulon sends a distress call, and a rescue team of Space Hares appears. They send a container connected with a chain into the UFO, which Orbulon enters. The Space Hares finally retract the chain, but as soon as Orbulon arrives in the rescue ship, he attempts to use his alien powers. Before he can do this, the Space Hares immediately reject Orbulon back to the Porker, which has since disentangled itself from the meteor. Spinning out of control, Orbulon and his ship make a crash-landing by the Gelateria.

Dr. Crygor is mixing chemicals in his laboratory, and then reaches for something to drink. Without looking, he grabs a beaker filled with a blue liquid, and drinks it. When his stomach starts cramping, Dr. Crygor runs for the restroom and opens the toilet lid. After he has done his business, the toilet suddenly erupts a jet of water and begins to flood the lab. While Dr. Crygor tries to swim away, he is instead sent rocketing into the sky and is sent plummeting down. Luckily, Don the Sparrow catches and rescues Dr. Crygor.

An evil skeleton spirit named Boneheads appears at the Castle, and curses the prince before taking over the Castle. Ana and her crew of ninjas attack Boneheads, but they all fail.

WarioWare, Inc.'s game becomes a commercial success. Wario ends up swindling his employees, though, refusing to pay them and taking all of the money for himself. In the WarioWare, Inc. headquarters, he runs away from his friends with the cash. Mona tries to stop him but he escapes with a rocket attached to the building.

He is immediately horrified when he sees the damage but decides to ask Dr. Crygor if he can fix it. At his lab, Dr. Crygor tosses the Game Boy Advance into his new invention, the Gravitator, which creates new handheld systems with no buttons. He explains that the system is controlled through rotation, and Wario starts to play with it. Soon, Mona and 9-Volt enter the lab and start to play with the systems, quickly enjoying it. This gives Wario the idea to market the handheld system, dreaming of making a fortune from it.

He soon remembers the password and the ship flies away. Space Monster Gabriel, however, eats and spits it toward Diamond City, with the Alien Bunnies having ditched the UFO moments after it was spat towards Diamond City.

In 9-Volt's class at Diamond City Elementary, a new student, 18-Volt, is introduced. He starts to play some of his music, but the teacher advises him to turn his music off. 18-Volt leaves the class dejected, but 9-Volt, who likes his music, invites him to his house, and soon, 9-Volt & 18-Volt are hanging out. While checking out 9-Volt's games, 18-Volt finds a Nintendo Entertainment System, and he enthusiastically asks if they can play with it, and 9-Volt agrees. They play until late at night, at which point 5-Volt storms in and scolds them that it is time for 9-Volt to be asleep. After 18-Volt goes home and 9-Volt goes to bed, he still plays his games, at which point 5-Volt storms in and tells him to put the game away.

At Dr. Crygor's lab, Dr. Crygor is continuing to create Wario's new game using the Gravitator. Wario is on the conveyor belt being used to transport objects, however, and gets chucked into the Gravitator. He exits as Wario-Man and feels an immense surge of power, promptly jumping back into the Gravitator to gain more power. The Gravitator then flies into space and transforms into a giant robot, with Wario-Man as the pilot. He waves excitedly to a passing UFO piloted by Orbulon and carrying some of his friends.

He lands in the water outside Dr. Crygor's lab and shouts that he is going to jokingly fire everyone working for him.

WarioWare: Touched! utilizes the touch screen, stylus, and mic for microgames.

Wario is walking down a street after having proudly stolen a Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP, but then he suddenly trips and drops both systems down a manhole. The Sewer Guru then flies up from the hole holding not only the 2 handheld systems, but also a Nintendo DS, and he asks Wario which one he dropped. Wario replies, "Gimme all of 'em!" and lunges at the Sewer Guru, knocking both of them down the manhole. After a brief scuffle, Wario emerges with the Nintendo DS. Wario immediately notices that the handheld has two screens, but finds it more peculiar that there are no buttons. Not knowing how to play it, Wario loses a Whack-a-Mole minigame and shakes it angrily, thinking that the device does not work. However, the stylus flies out into his hand, and Wario suddenly realizes that he must use it to tap the bottom screen. He wins the minigame and then realizes he could make double the profit out of a device with double the screens, and so he uses it to make microgames controlled via the touchscreen.

Wario, in his house, is eating chocolate bars until he gets cavities from eating too many sweets. Wario, under immense pain, jumps to his bike and visits Dr. Payne's Dental Clinic.

During his trip back to his house, Wario smells some sweets emanating from The Sweet Spot. He stops and demands Bridget the Baker for ten pies. Before Wario eats the pies, he remembers what the doctor told him; he deliberately ignores the advice and eats the pies anyway. He then jumps in pain from the returning cavities, in a similar fashion to the cavities from the beginning of the arc, and lands back into Dr. Payne's Dental Clinic, where Dr. Payne has expected him to return.

While Ana is trying to catch the thief, Kat catches up with Shuriken, saying that she read the note and that they must hurry. When Kat & Ana find the monkey eating the banana, they are initially outraged, but immediately endeared. They decide that the monkey is too adorable to punish, and they tame him while naming him Numchuck.

At Ashley’s mansion, Ashley & Red are brewing a potion. After Ashley tastes it, she demands more ingredients. A skull appears from the pot, shocking the two, realizing they ruined the potion. As Ashley & Red exit the mansion, Red tries to reassure Ashley that they can retry and the next attempt will be a success. Meanwhile, the Oinker gets struck by lightning, forcing Orbulon to abandon ship. Orbulon, frantic, starts running. He accidentally bumps into Ashley, angering her and turning her hair white. Orbulon, frightened at her, apologizes and retreats. After Red asks Ashley what is wrong, Ashley proclaims that Orbulon is the missing ingredient. Red then promises Ashley that he will catch Orbulon. Red fails, however, and apologizes. Ashley accepts it and tells him that he can be the ingredient instead, much to Red's shock.

At Dr. Crygor's Lab, Dr. Crygor finishes a new invention, the Tri-phonic Undulating Nanobot Automaton or TUNA for short.

After beating his competition, Dr. Crygor arrives in Dribble's taxi and tells Mike that they need to go home. They then sing a duet, but Mike soon criticizes how awfully Dr. Crygor sings. Dr. Crygor defends himself by saying that he wrote Mike's software, and Mike responds by leaving Dr. Crygor.

At Toy Express, 9-Volt and his best friend, 18-Volt, buy the recently released game, 36-Volt Man, and head to 9-Volt's House to play the game. They set up their Nintendo GameCube and play the game all day long and beat it. To celebrate their success, 9-Volt spins his turntable as 18-Volt dances, as they showcase their Nintendo game systems. 9-Volt and 18-Volt eventually fall asleep, but since they fell asleep late in the night, they oversleep past 9 o'clock and thus are late for school.

Wario is feeling sick and ponders what will make him feel better. He then thinks that garlic is the answer to his sickness, so he trudges to his refrigerator only to find out that the only garlic he has is Nasty Garlic. He eats it regardless, where the Wario Viruses eat the weakened Awful Viruses from the Nasty Garlic, and he turns into Wario-Man as a result. Wario-Man bursts out of his house and proclaims that he is super-powered. Wario-Man then sees a train and wants to crush it; however, when Wario-Man gets in front of it, it knocks Wario-Man away. As Rocky the Reporter notes the success of WarioWare: Touched!, Wario-Man falls into a sewer and turns back into normal Wario.

The Splunks, a species that lived alongside the ancients, kept the Form Baton in a temple to retain its history. Many years later, the temple remains in ruins amidst what is now known as Diamond City.

One day, while Wario is at home, eating a pile of sweets, a Splunk suddenly steals all of his food. Angered, Wario chases the Splunk to the Temple of Form and comes across the Form Baton.

In Diamond City Stadium, Wario, now somewhat angry, tells the players that they cannot get their reward as he already claimed it himself, claiming that they never had a chance of winning.

The pot's power transforms Wario into Wario Deluxe, and he rides on a platform hoisted by several balloons. He then challenges the players to his microgames. Lulu appears and distracts him by firing arrows at some of his balloons to pop them, causing the platform to start slowly falling. She then grabs the pot in an attempt to pull it off of his head, telling the players to win while she defeats Wario.

After Wario Deluxe is defeated, he is surprised and disappointed at his loss and angrily asks Lulu who she is. She introduces herself as Luxeville's greatest hero. She then demands that Wario give her the pot back and shoots him with water from the Hydrocannon LX, causing the pot to fall off and reverting Wario to his normal self. Lulu is overjoyed to get the pot back, stating that the pot is a potty and that it had just been cleaned and put out to dry when Wario stole it. Suddenly, all of Wario's employees appear in the stadium asking Wario to pay them for their work. Wario declares that the money is his and runs off however Ashley easily causes him to trip and the group split up his few remaining coins amongst themselves.

WarioWare: Get It Together (2021)

In Diamond City, crowds of people are lining up to purchase a new game titled Super Pyoro. Meanwhile, Wario and his employees at WarioWare, Inc. have just completed the development of their own game. When Wario tries to play it, however, the game does not work as expected, causing him to throw it in the air in frustration. After he does so, a mouth appears on the screen and pulls Wario and his crew into the system, turning them into miniature versions of themselves and trapping them inside.

Inside the game, the crew members find that they now have special abilities or items that they can use to help them. However, they also encounter game bugs, which corrupt the game's levels. Wario progresses through the levels to complete them while defeating the game bugs and recruiting his employees, who assist him in his journey.

After the crew defeats the Mega Bug, the final and most powerful game bug, they encounter the Supreme Developer, who reveals that he was the one who brought them into the game so that they could defeat the game bugs, and he opens a portal through which the crew escapes the game, inviting them to come back and play at any time.

After they return, Wario's employees wonder where the game bugs came from. Wario reveals that they were a result of his bad programming and neglect to correct it, much to the anger of his employees, who proceed to chase him around. However, they stop chasing him when he realizes that 3 crew members, namely Red, Master Mantis, and Lulu, are still stuck inside the game. They head back into the game, but shortly afterward, a mysterious object glides across the game screen.

Back in the game, the crew encounters the Supreme Developer again, who states that their missing friends have been captured but that it is not the work of the game bugs. The crew progresses through a series of 3 skyscrapers, rescuing Red in the first, Master Mantis in the second, and Lulu in the third, all of whom were kidnapped by a giant flying entity, which the crew pursues up each of the skyscrapers using an elevator; each time, they see it fly out of a window and leave behind a piece of treasure, much to Wario's glee. The final time this happens, a note is also left which dares the crew to combine the 3 treasures into one. Wario agrees to this dare, but the crew fails to come up with a method of combining the objects.

Dr. Crygor decides to phone his granddaughter Penny to see if she can help. Penny receives the call while she is testing the Jet Tank One, a water blaster she invented, which she uses as a jet pack to fly. Agreeing to help, she flies into the WarioWare, Inc. building and into the game, where she combines the treasures into a Golden Watering Can. She then uses the water from the Jet Tank One in tandem with the can to grow a giant beanstalk; however, the can vanishes afterwards, upsetting Wario. The crew then climbs the beanstalk and, after finding nothing for a long time, they eventually encounter the mysterious object and face off against it in a final battle. After they defeat it, it reveals itself to be Pyoro, who went from his own game into Wario's to have fun. Wario then complains about having ended up without any treasure, to which Master Mantis says, "Treasure not the gold but the journey it inspired."

When the cast finally arrives at the island, they are welcomed by the locals. As a welcome gift, the cast is given Form Stones, which are said to bring good luck. Wario, unimpressed, throws his away, causing a chain of events, leading to an elephant sending him flying into a shrine at Perspiration Peak Volcano, where he is chased by the Woods Watchers for trespassing. Later, Wario escapes the inhabitants of the temple, but falls off a cliff. He lands on the same parrot he accidentally hit with the Form Stones earlier. Wario is delighted at his luck, and takes a liking to the Form Stones. He laughs as the parrot carries him off.

Mona relaxes on the sand before going scuba-diving to find mermaids but she ends up rescuing Lulu who is caught in a fish’s mouth. Dr. Crygor, Penny, and Mike use their latest invention, the Time Obliterator 5.0 to travel back in time to the Stone Age where they meet ancient Caresawayan who draws the trio as cave paintings.

The ensuing chaos eventually causes the cottage to break off into the rapidly flowing river where it goes over a waterfall, throwing everyone out. Luckily, the gang lands safely on top of a tour bus. Later, the gang gets off the tour bus and gazes at a statue of King Caresaway the First, until it is destroyed by the falling cottage. Kat, Ana, Young Cricket, Master Mantis, Jimmy T., Dribble, Spitz, 9-Volt, 18-Volt, 5-Volt, and 13-Amp are all hanging out together at a swimming pool when a ball they're playing with gets stuck in Poolopus's mouth. They try to pull the ball out, but it slips from their grip and slams into Poolopus's head, upsetting her. She throws everyone into the air and they all land on top of a tour bus. Later, the gang gets off the tour bus and eagerly asks Poolopus to throw them again, which she does.

At nighttime, Wario sneaks into the shrine at Perspiration Peak Volcano and attempts to steal all the gold there. He removes a golden statue of the Voice from above, unaware that it was plugging a hole from which a giant lava hand emerges and snatches him. Wario is pulled into the hole and merges with the volcano, causing his face to appear on it as it erupts, endangering Wario's friends and other people below. The elder of the Woods Watchers urges everyone to start dancing in order to calm the volcano down.

Later, everyone celebrates after succeeding in making the volcano stop erupting with their dancing, thus lifting the curse. Just then, the volcano shoots Wario back into the shrine where he lands on top of the hole where the golden statue was.

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 (1994)

After the events of Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins.

One day, Wario was practicing being mean when he thought to himself, “Rumour has it that the pirates of Kitchen Island have stolen the giant golden statue of Princess Toadstool. Mario is looking for it but, if I find it first, I could cash it in for a princess’ ransom. With that cash and the pirates’ other treasures and coins, I could buy a palace that is way bigger than Mario’s pathetic excuse for a castle. Ga, ha, ha, ha…! What am I waiting for!?”

Full of confidence, Wario took off. He didn’t even stop to think of how tough the Brown Sugar Pirates were. Their leader, Captain Syrup was known the world over for being a really rotten and ruthless pirate.

Wario travels throughout Kitchen Island after landing on Rice Beach. He makes his way through Mt. Teapot, Sherbet Land, Stove Canyon, the SS Tea Cup, and Parsley Woods, defeating various enemies and collecting treasures from each level. Wario finally reaches Syrup Castle and battles Captain Syrup who is revealed to be a female. Captain Syrup rubs a mysterious lamp and summons Genie to fight Wario. Wario defeats the Genie and Captain Syrup however Captain Syrup escapes by blowing up her own castle. Before Wario can claim the statue, Mario appears in a helicopter and takes the statue for himself. With the leftover lamp, Wario rubs it and the Genie appears and grants Wario a reward based on his coin count—giving Wario a castle.

Wario Land II (1998)

After the events of Super Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3.

One quiet morning, Wario was resting peacefully in bed. He was so tired from treasure-hunting that he did not hear the suspicious intruders enter his castle. They are Pirate Gooms, loyal minions of Captain Syrup and members of the Black Sugar Gang. The pirates infiltrate the building and steal Wario's treasures, which he collected during his earlier adventures. To distract Wario and prevent him from chasing them, the pirates cause havoc in the castle by turning on a giant faucet, abandoning a vicious snake in his cellar and installing an oversized alarm clock. After this, the pirates escape and leave Wario in the mess they caused. Wario eventually wakes up by the alarm clock's commotion and sets off to pursue the thieves, but not before rectifying the state of things in his home.

During his pursuit of the pirates, Wario learns that the fleeing bandits have scared his pet hen away, so he ditches his quest for a brief moment to rescue his beloved pet. He resumes the pursuit after the hen is safe again. Wario manages to get to the pirate's ship before they can set off. He drops the anchor, so the ship is forced to halt, but is then stopped by the ship guard Bobo, who delays his progress so the pirates can escape via a hot-air balloon. Wario chases them through the overgrown jungle of Maze Woods and a city with an unknown name.

Wario eventually arrives at Syrup Castle, the hideout of the mischievous pirate gang. Horrified that the pirates managed to return to their fortress, he continues his pursuit and breaks in the building. After battling many of the pirate grunts, including a quartet of Dangerous Ducks (D.D.s), Wario confronts the pirate leader herself in combat. After defeating Captain Syrup and demolishing her aircraft, Wario blasts the pirates out of their fortress, reclaims his treasures and returns home to resume his nap.

After collecting all 50 treasures and all 50 Picture Pieces, Wario assembles a treasure map from the Picture Pieces which reveals the entrance to a secret cave. He returns to Syrup Castle and proceeds to a mountain range somewhere near the building where he locates the secret cave in which the pirates store their treasures.

One day, Wario is flying with his plane over the woods until it runs out of fuel and crashes. Stranded, Wario then stumbles upon a mysterious cave, where inside he discovers a strange music box containing a small world inside sitting on a pedestal. When he goes to take a closer look, he is suddenly sucked into the music box. He then wakes up inside a dark temple and meets a hidden figure, who informs Wario that he is a god who once protected the world inside the music box, until an evil being sealed away his magical powers within 5 music boxes scattered across said world. The figure promises that if Wario can gather the boxes and free it, it will send Wario back outside and allow him to keep any treasure he finds along the way. Wario agrees and departs on his quest in search of the music boxes and the many treasures of this mysterious land.

After collecting all the music boxes, Wario returns to the temple. Once there, the music boxes play a melody together, and the song frees the hidden figure. However, the figure turns out to be Rudy, an evil clown, who announces his plan to rule over the world inside the music box as well as the outer world. Rudy attempts to destroy Wario since he outlived his usefulness, but Wario is able to defeat it. After Rudy wis vanquished, all the monsters that attacked Wario before are turned back into humans. An elder explains that their world was peaceful until Rudy tried to take control, so they managed to seal away his power within the 5 music boxes, but not before they were turned into monsters. He then states that they only tried to stop Wario from releasing the demon and letting it continue its conquest, but never thought that he would destroy it and free them from its curse. He thanks Wario for what he unintentionally did for them and transports him back to his world along with the treasure that he had collected.

With no delay, and even forgetting to take his mid-morning nap, Wario hops into his fantastic car and heads off to find the Golden Pyramid, almost running over a black cat on the road.

Upon arriving at the pyramid, Wario climbs the outer stairs and heads inside, where he finds the same black cat that he almost ran over earlier. The cat leads Wario deeper into the pyramid and down a hole. Wario lands in a room near the center of the pyramid, and proceeds to complete the challenges of its 4 passages (Emerald, Ruby, Topaz, Sapphire), thus opening the way to the inner pyramid Golden Passage, where the evil ruler of the Golden Pyramid, the Golden Diva, resides.

After exploring the Golden Passage, Wario comes face to face with the Golden Diva. The black cat then jumps in front of Wario and attacks the Golden Diva in vain. The Cat gets swallowed by the Diva, who proceeds to fight Wario and gradually uncovers her many kabuki masks.

After the Golden Diva's defeat, the pyramid begins to crumble. Grabbing his treasure, and with the black cat and Arewo Shitain-hakase in tow, Wario hurries to escape the pyramid. They all make it out, and watch the pyramid crumble to the ground from a distance. The Golden Diva's jewelry then flies out of the treasure sack and toward the black cat. This causes the Cat to change form into Princess Shokora, the ancient ruler of the Golden Pyramid who was cursed by the Golden Diva. With the Diva's defeat, the curse is broken, and the princess thanks Wario by kissing him on the cheek. She is taken away by angels into the afterlife, and Wario takes his treasure to his car and heads home.

Sleeping buried under all of his treasures is a powerful black jewel that all but wiped out civilization long ago. The jewel had corrupted any and all who owned it, causing chaos and destruction. To put a stop to this, Spritelings encased the jewel and put it asleep for all eternity. However, when Wario stole the jewel thousands of years later, it reawakened on an evening where a red moon rises. When Wario finally notices that something strange is happening, it's already too late. The evil black jewel downstairs has managed to engulf many of the other treasures and is rapidly growing larger and larger! And not only that—it’s churning out monsters as well! It seems that the curse that this jewel carries lets it turn treasures into monsters. To make matters worse, the black jewel has decided that it wants to build a kingdom of its own and is changing Wario's world into quite a weird place.

After stuffing 4 full heads of garlic into his mouth, Wario stamps out in a furious rage to meet the monsters. His castle has been separated into 4 sections called worlds: Excitement Central, Spooktastic World, Thrillsville, and Sparkle Land. Wario must travel through each world, rescuing the 40 imprisoned Spritelings, before defeating the black jewel and locking it back in its chest.
