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.

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

Menus

The menu graphics contain an unused smaller and darker thumbnail for Jimmy T and a white cell phone folder.

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. Most likely used as a placeholder.

Wario's Games (Introduction)

Repellion contains an indicator to tell you which ship is yours.

Wario Wear has graphics for...a naked Wario. You're welcome.

Jimmy T.'s Games

Baseline Bash has a exclamatory "AU" speech bubble.

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

UFO Assist has an indicator to tell you which ship is yours, much like in Repellion.

The boss game Galaxy 2003 has graphics for a fourth powerup and a thick white bar. There is also a rainbow-ish band off the right side of the play field.

Mona's Games

Fries With That? has a graphic of a girl's head.

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

9-Volt's Games

Duck Hunt has the onscreen information from the original NES game, but this is just a graphic that does not change.

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

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

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

Minigames

Unused Music

m_x_BGM_BOMB_4bar

m_x_BGM_BOMB_8bar

These two are test tracks for the different length microgames. 4 bars is the length of Orbulon's microgames, while 8 bars is twice as long. While there is test music for 2 bars, it is used for a couple of microgames.

m_BGM_01

Music track of unknown purpose.

m_BGM_Title_01

The title music played at normal speed. The title screen does not last long enough to reach the loop, so part of this track can not be heard normally.

m_BGM_DraBuru_03_IN

Tune for retrying from between the second and third bosses of Dribble.

Tune intended to be used before the third boss of Dribble.

m_BGM_DraBuru_03_SpeedUp

Tune intended for speed up between the second and third bosses of Dribble.

Music for a 2-bar microgame.

m_BGM_BOMB_16

Music for a 2-bar microgame that has to do with a train.

m_BGM_BOMB_25

Music for a 2-bar microgame. It's the first few notes of the main Super Mario Bros. theme, using both male and female voices.

m_BGM_BOMB_32_Wario_01

m_BGM_BOMB_33_Wario_02

m_BGM_BOMB_34_Wario_03

These three tracks are for a 2-bar Wario Land microgame. The main melody comes from the first game (and indeed, the first track closely resembles it), while the third iteration uses musical elements from the fourth game. The second iteration has some techno-ish sounds added.

A Wario Land microgame did not appear until WarioWare: Smooth Moves, which was based on Super Mario Land 3. Another appeared in WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, based on Wario Land 4.

Music for a 4-bar microgame.

Music track of unknown purpose. The only thing named similarly is m_BGM_BOMB_Demo_11, the speed up tune for Introduction.

m_BGM_VS_RoboControl_10
