    Quating Wario himself: " EXCELLENT!!" This game is too darn weird, yet so fun to play.

    Some cool, great music and the cutscenes are fun, but the singleplayer campaign is designed to make you fail and try over and over again. It's a short game if you run through it, and the gameplay is too simple (timed single button presses) to make it fun by itself. The fun consists of your thought process in the moment you try to figure out the task.

The fun consists of your thought process in the moment you try to figure out the task. The artists/designers did a great job to try to make the game stand out, but what you're doing isn't really special in any way. Would be a really fun game for kids (bizarre kid friendly humor) if it wasn't punishing. No real reason to seek this out in 2013. A fun celebration of 'style over substance' nevertheless.… Expand

    Absolutely astounding amount of content in this game. Sure, it doesn't really have a story, but it has an amazing amount of replayability. Every microgame is fun and addictive and you can try and beat your own high score. Unlockable minigames like Sheriff and Dr Mario (Wario) will make it so that you will keep returning. A great pick up and play/time wasting game as well. One of myAbsolutely astounding amount of content in this game. Sure, it doesn't really have a story, but it has an amazing amount of replayability.

    The most addictive game I've played in at least the past 10 years.. I've spent hour after hour attempting to top my high scores as well as those of friends and attempting to open up new games on the grid, etc. This right here is simply as good as gaming gets, it's an absolute masterpiece of a game and an instant classic.

    This game is brilliant! I love it! The wonderful recollection of older games....the laugh out loud comedy...Wario has had some of the best games for handheld systems EVER!

The games are fun and you never know what will pop up next! No time to think...just time to react! For that fuse makes these games really short. But short is fun here! And the recollection of old Nintendo games that 9-Volt has to offer...perfect in every way! If other critiques won't give it a perfect 10, they must be blind! Never a game deserved a 10 like this one! NEVER! And unlockables like Dr. Wario are just too great! Go buy it!… Expand

    Looks really fun, and very different. With mini games about picking a nose and shaking a doggy paws you can't fail.

    When I first saw the game I thought that it was very odd, but after I played it I thought that this game was great. It is so funny. The games are so odd and addicting. I highly recommend this game.

    I like this game a whole lot. It is fun trying to get the little flower on all of the mini-games. Although, when you come across one you can't beat, it gets a little monotonous. Hey, by the way, go Fleetwood Mac!!

    A laugh every 5 seconds! After you've pretty much beaten it, you may stop playing it non-stop and get on with your life, but it's a great game for those times when you only have a few minutes to play. It's beautiful when played using the GameCube adapter.

    The game is really, really short (2 hours), but it was meant to be so. Replay value is what makes me keep playing again and again, and that is why feels seemingly filled with content, like a small sundae with an overload of chocolate sauce.

    This was one of the first GBA games I ever played and it was instantly a charming classic. Such an odd game with so many quirky moments and fast gameplay with the micro games. I loved how you can unlock mini games to play individually as well. It's a fun one to return to for a bit of nostalgia. If you're a GBA collector it should definitely be part of your collection!

    As much as I prefer the Wario land platformers this game is VERY fun to play. The amount of random **** in this game is funny, weird and Wario-like to the point where you might grow a zig zagged mustache. This game will make you like garlic so WATCH OUT!!

    De verdad adoro cada cosa de este juego, adoro el humor tan caricaturesco que se maneja, lo intuitivos que son los micro-juegos (o la mayoría de ellos), que están diseñados de una forma perfecta para que los entiendas y reacciones ante ellos lo antes posible y los muy buenos minijuegos que tiene a parte de la historia principal, que si bien, esta es bastante simple,    ADORO ESTE JUEGO.

    El juego es algo corto, pero realmente es bastante disfrutable y divertido. Tiene ligeras miniedades que son mejorables pero en juegos posteriores se solucionan la gran mayoría.
