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.

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.

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. Dr. Payne then drills the cavities, which makes Wario's teeth healthy again. The doctor then warns Wario to avoid sweets. 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 Vanessa is infuriated, Ken announces that Mona will be playing at the Hawt House tonight. Vanessa then sets out to sabotage Mona. Meanwhile, at Mona Pizza, Mona and her crew, Art and Decko are practicing. After the practice is done, Mona sets off on her scooter, while Art and Decko follow her in their van. Vanessa, alongside the Dinosaurs, catch Mona and her crew and hamper them with their mechs. Two of the Dinosaurs, in a hawk-like mech, kidnaps Art. Pizza Joe and Mona's animal friends, such as 4.1 and 4.2, come to help in their air vehicles but are all knocked away by the hawk-like mech. Decko then ejects and latches himself onto the hawk-like mech, which releases Art and causes the mech to crash. Mona and her crew finally arrive at the Hawt House. During the performance, an infuriated and jealous Vanessa is seen in the back of the crowd. Mona suddenly realizes she has pizzas to deliver and leaves the concert, giving Vanessa an idea.

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.

Back at Dr. Crygor's lab, Dr. Crygor builds a karaoke robot to suit his cleaning needs. He names him Mike and then tests Mike by turning him on. Dr. Crygor then goes out, while Mike cleans the lab. Mike eventually finds dust on the windowsill. Mike suddenly gets the urge to host a party and then flies out of the lab to host an intergalactic karaoke competition at an Alien Bunny planet. 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 ancients used this baton in their everyday lives in a large range of movement from rigorous activity to more nuanced actions. 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.

Wario is at his house when he gets a package in the mail. Inside the package is the pink bike that Penny made at the Invent-Off. Wario gleefully takes it out for a ride, despite him being much too large for it, but he suddenly starts shrinking before eventually getting sucked into the bike. Out of its exhaust pipe, the bike shoots out a bunch of Tiny Warios. The Tiny Warios start to roam around before they notice a field of strawberries, and they soon swarm it.

When he picks up both of the objects, the temple suddenly emerges from the ground and starts floating. Orbulon panics but notices some writing on the wall that explains how to use the Form Baton and Balance Stone. Afterwards, he takes control of the temple and brings it to space.

• Collecting coins are essential to progress through levels and obtain treasures

• Mini-games to unlock treasures (e.g. matching game, number matching game, golf)

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.

F.A.Q.

Different Endings: the ending is determined by the amount of coins Wario has collected by the end of the game after defeating Captain Syrup. The more coins and treasures he collects, the better his new home will be.

• 10,072 - 40,007 coins gives Wario a treetrunk

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. In a final raid, Wario overcomes the difficulties in the pirate cave and plunders Syrup's riches. He then returns home for the final time, but not without the giant spear man following him closely.

Wario Land 3 (2000)

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.

Wario Land 4 (2001)

Whilst reading his morning paper and picking his nose, Wario reads about the legendary Golden Pyramid of Shokora as well as an archaeologist Arewo Shitain-hakase who is exploring it. 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.

The ending cutscene shows Wario speeding through the city, almost running over a cat once more. A newspaper flies into the cat's face, with an article that reads: "Steaks! Eat as much as you can!!".

Wario World (2003)

After completing construction of his beloved castle, Wario is feeling pretty fine. However, unbeknownst to him, something terrible has happened to his jewels. 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.

After defeating the jewel, he regains his castle and riches with the help of the Spritelings, with his castle being larger and higher-quality the more Spritelings he rescued.
