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.

Hmmm...
To do:
Figure out how to access the Debug Menu, if possible. Add graphics names and/or locations. Stuff on the talk page. Patch or .MIOs for microgames? Unused things seen when editing boss games?

Regional Differences
Several differences exist between regions.

Unused Game Length Button

WarioDIY-BossGameLengthButton.png

In the Game MakerMatic on the Game Length screen, there is an invisible button that enables the timer used in boss microgames. It can be selected indirectly by importing a microgame with the boss length set (either from the built-in boss games or by editing a microgame using external tools) into the game's DIY shelves via a save editor or ROM editor.

Alternatively, you can use the Action Replay code 2XXXXXXX 00000002, with XXXXXXX being replaced with the appropriate value for your version as listed below. Go into the game length screen in the microgame settings (not in the new microgame screen) and press OK while the code is on.

There are also some graphical leftovers for this button:

  • Partial OAM data for an icon for the Settings screen (Time2 in \menu\GTH\GTH.NANR).
  • Full OAM data and graphics for the boss length button (LengthBoss in \menu\GTH\GTH.NANR), which can be seen below.

The text in all the languages says "boss". The fonts don't match up with their used equivalents.

Unused Boss Microgame Info

Hmmm...
To do:
Get the rest of the cartridge pictures.

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.

Duplicate Files

  • There are tracks for each of the MakerMatics' intros, but they are identical. This may suggest that there were once different tunes for each.
  • Track 0x10F, SEQ_M_GED_MARIO_PAINT1, is an unused identical copy of the Mario Paint music that plays when you edit the graphics of a microgame/comic that is named "Mario Paint" (USA/Europe) or "マリオペイント" (Japan). Sequence 0x110, SEQ_M_GED_MARIO_PAINT1_H, is used.
