Proto:WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!

This page details one or more prototype versions of WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!.

To do: Look at the Japanese (Gekkan Nintendo Tentou Demo 2003.3.1) demo

Eight microgame trials are unlockable in Wario World, as well as special trial "sampler" versions on the Nintendo GameCube Preview Disc and Gekkan Nintendo Tentou Demo 2003.3.1, all of which are downloadable to a Game Boy Advance. These trials seem to be based on an earlier build, as various differences are present.

Graphical Differences

Microgames

• Wario in Crazy Cars has no idle animation.
• The instruction in Crazy Cars does not become "Dodge?" in situations where the car either drives away from Wario or is tiny.
• The background in Wario Whirled is a pure black color instead of very dark green.

Boom Box

Proto	Final

A few areas were given additional shading, like the screen and bars at the top. The outline for the screen on the boombox was also changed from a dark grey, to a lighter color based/dependent on what color the screen is itself (cyan, yellow, red). This was not changed for the final's start-up sequence.

Transition

Proto	Final

The transition was much more rough in the trials, with only four frames of animation. The final gave it a smoother eight frames, along with a dissolve effect on the nose.

"CM" Mode

After beating 21 microgames in the GameCube Preview Disc trial version, the screen on the boombox will say "CM" (likely standing for "commercial") and all of the available Introduction microgames will play, except the graphics and commands get changed to advertise the game.

Normal Mode	"CM" Mode

Audio Differences

All of the audio uses a different soundfont than the final audio. The audio compared to the final game varies from identical to completely different.

The Preview Disc demo and all the Wario World demos have the exact same set of audio files.
