WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! is the gripping tale of Wario and his friends forming their own game company. The result is a bizarre (and oddly addictive) collectives of very short (and often very strange) minigames called "Microgames", with a few "Wario" takes on other classic games thrown in for good measure.

Unused Games

Amusingly, Wario and friends had some leftovers, given that this was their first game both in the series and in canon. With a cheating device or a cheat option in an emulator, change address 03000E61 to one of the following game numbers.

Block Breaker

Game Number: 2F
A microgame with no level variations where only two blocks can be broken before time expires. This was likely meant for 9-Volt's stage, as it is based on the early Nintendo arcade game Block Breaker.

F1 Race

Game Number: 5E
A microgame with all three level variations where the stats at the top of the screen never change. This was also likely meant for 9-Volt's stage as it is based on F1 Race, an early Famicom game.

Level 1 is merely a straight course.

Level 2 begins with a straight path, but curves halfway through.

Level 3 starts on a curve, and becomes straight near the end.

Pong

Game Number: 66
A microgame with all three level variations. This was also likely meant for 9-Volt's stage, as it appears to be based on Nintendo's late-1970s home consoles Color TV Game 6/15.

Level 2 has smaller paddles.

Level 3 has a pair of parallel paddles for each side.

Ping-Pong VS

Game Number: E5

A game presumably meant to be unlocked with the other VS titles.

The first to five points wins. Like the other VS games, L and R move the paddles up and down for their respective sides.

Unused Levels

Dodge Balls retains the higher level capabilities present in the demo from Wario World. There are nine levels altogether, and on the highest level there are ten balls for you to dodge.

Unused Graphics

Baseline Bash has a exclamatory speech bubble that says "AU".

Bubble Trouble has the graphics for a spinning ring.

The Donkey Kong microgame contains the entire stage from the original Donkey Kong.

The Duck Hunt microgame has the onscreen information from the original Duck Hunt. However, this is just a graphic that does not change.

Flower Shower has two other flower colours and some graphics of the girl not holding the watering can.

Fries With That has a graphic of a girls head.

Galaxy 2003 has a graphic for a fourth power up and a thick white bar. Also, there is a multi-colour band off the right of the screen.

In the Helmet microgame the word "Home" is written off screen by the house.

High Hoops has the words "Clear Line", an arrow and a line.

Leafy Greens has a pink poop that comes in multiple shades.

Log Chop has a horizontal brick.

Pyoro has a small devil.

Repellion and UFO Assist have an indicator to tell you which ship is yours.

Space Escape has a large orb with a casing and 13 different projectiles.

Tilt-n-Tumble has a graphic for a smaller ball.

Veggie Might has the word "Work" and some kind of gem.

Among the graphics for Veg Out is a sprite for a corn cob, which doesn't appear in the microgame.

Wario Bros. has a death and shrinking/growing graphics for both Wario and Mario and a POW block. There are also graphics for numbers other than 0 and 8.

In Wario Facial, Wario's gloves and belt are below the bottom of the screen.

Wario Wear has graphics for Wario not wearing underwear.

In the menu graphics, there is an unused smaller and darker thumbnail for Jimmy T and a white cell phone folder.

Most likely used as a placeholder. This is loaded into the VRAM of the Introduction grid in place of the microgames it does not have due to being smaller than other grids.
