WarioWare D.I.Y.

WarioWare D.I.Y. finally lets players make their own microgames! ...Within a set of limits, of course, like not being able to have multiple levels of difficulty.

‚O‚P‚Q‚R‚S‚T‚U‚V‚W‚X

Present in the Center subfolder in the Menu folder, more specifically the file Center_Sort.txt. What it was used for is anyone's guess.

Unused Game Length Button
In the Game MakerMatic, on the Game Length setting screen, there is an invisible button that enables the timer used in boss microgames. The button cannot be seen, only highlighted, and only if a boss game is imported into the game's DIY shelves via a save editor or ROM editor.

Unused Boss Microgame Info
Like the other games in the WarioWare series, each set of official microgames has a boss microgame you can play...but unlike the other games, you can't play them at your leisure, which means that the look of the boss microgame's cartridge, its small preview picture, and each of their descriptions all go unused.

The only way to see them is by importing the microgame files into the game's DIY shelves through a save editor or ROM editor.

Regional Differences
In all instances where it is used, "1Up" is used in the Japanese version, and "1-Up" is used in the international versions.

The first Job Center assignment gives you a mole template in the Japanese version, and a rabbit template in the international versions.

As the game has two different titles, the letters and images revealed in Mona's "Breakdown" microgame differ between versions.

After defeating a boss stage while playing Jimmy T.'s microgames, Jimmy has different words of encouragement between versions.

"True Skewer", one of Ashley's microgames, features bouncing steaks in replacement of the konjac in international versions. The gameplay remains exactly the same, however, and even in the Japanese version, the food will occasionally spawn with a face.

In international versions, "Double Order" had the sushi replaced by foods the western audience might be more familiar with. The gameplay remains the same.

The Japanese version has the abbreviation "NG" on the clapperboard after losing on Ashley's stage. "NG" is sometimes used in the Japanese film industry to refer to a mistake while filming a scene for a movie or TV show. The international versions use "The End" instead.

The microgame "Coin Cat" uses yen coins in the Japanese version, and $1 coins and dimes in the U.S. version. The currency symbol is changed accordingly.

The peach object in the microgame "Mind the Gap" is a different color between versions.

During Orbulon's stage, "Speed Up" has different decorations around the letter e between versions.

Version Exclusive Microgames
While these four microgames can be played in any version via DS Wireless Communication, they are all completely different gameplay-wise.

One of 9-Volt's microgames in the Japanese versions is "Murasamejō" ("Murasame Castle") which, as the name implies, is based on the Famicom game Murasame Castle. Since American players were not likely to know about said game (as it was never localized), international versions of D.I.Y. replaced it with a microgame based on Pikmin.

Ashley's microgame "Mochitsuki" was replaced with a microgame involving ketchup, titled "Ketchup Down". Western audiences are likely not familiar with most Japanese dishes, hence the change.

Comic Differences
Obviously, most of the comics that are shipped each day are flipped between the Japanese and International versions. Besides this, some comics had graphical features added or removed.

The criminal in Ta-Da! has his knife removed between versions.

The spirit in Sally's Tip has a face drawn on it in the International versions.

Origin Story adds a stereotypical viking hat to Thor's caregiver in the International version.

Polter-guys has the shape of the sign changed.

Similarities changes the features of the man who is being compared to frenchbread.

In '''New Game! #2''', the object used to clean ears is slightly different.
