WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!

This GameCube party-game adaptation follows the virtually unanimously lauded short-attention-span action of WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! for Game Boy Advance. Many of the mini-games from the mobile version have been ported to the console for four-player action. Gamers compete to be the fastest teeth-brushers, the most precise nose pickers, the best free-throwers, the most accurate apple shooters, the most skilled paper-airplane pilots, and the winners of countless other short-duration tournaments. As in the GBA original, a wide range of activities combine with a basic, unifying concept to create an experience that instantly appeals to anyone who played video games before 3D visuals and elaborate plots. Half the pleasure is not knowing which five-second challenge will appear next or what the player must perform. Even when players are not in charge of the active character, several mini-games allow them to participate more passively, contributing to the group-oriented strategy.
