This article has just been started and needs the article basics added.
Help us out and add them.

What may sound like the most gimmicky thing ever might just be the most fun thing there is: tilt control. Just like every other WarioWare game, there's lots of strange unused content.

Hmmm...
To do:
Regional differences, lots more.

Unused Graphics

Menu

Wwtwist unknownicon.pngWwtwisted unknownothericon.png

Two placeholder icons exist among the graphics of the Souvenirs. They translate to "Pending" and "Bucket Jump", respectively.

Jimmy T's Microgames

Wwtwist no~.png
Night and Day has a speech bubble saying "NO~".

Dr. Crygor's Minigames

Wwtwist halffullfire.png

Half Full has graphics of flames, them being extinguished, and smoke. Obviously, at one point or another, the microgame involved putting out fires.

9 Volt's Microgames

Just like all the other WarioWare games, 9-Volt's microgames have the most unused sprites of all characters.

Wwtwist pauline.pngWwtwist pinballmisc.png

Pinball has graphics of Pauline falling and getting squashed, numbers, and two 100 point targets. The microgame simply involves just bouncing a ball, so none of these really come into play.

Wwtwisted samusnoarmor.png

Metroid-Morph Ball has graphics of Samus without armor.

Ouch!

Ice Climber has extra sprites for the polar bear that don't seem to be used anywhere.

Delete me, ya dummy.

In the intro cutscene when they put the cartridge in a NES, among the tiles is text that says "N'T DELETDUMMY. DO"

Wario Man's Microgames

Wwtwist wariosmbstand.png

Super Wario has a sprite of Wario standing, but he's bouncing around with a jump sprite the whole microgame.

Souvenirs

A record label that's found in all the records, but is never actually seen.

Regional Differences

Speed-Up and Boss Stage

Japanese American
Oh god, here we go again!!! You got to find your inner Sanic in order to survive.

When the stage starts to go faster, in the Japanese version, the message said "Speed Up!". This was changed in the American version to "Faster!". This change was brought back in WarioWare: Smooth Moves.

Japanese American
This is generic boss 69. WarioWare-twisted WariobossUS.PNG

The opposite could be said about this. In Wario/Wario Watch, Dribble and Spitz, and 9-Volt's stages, instead of "Boss Stage" it says "Boss". This was changed to be consistent with the rest of the stages.

Kat and Ana's Stage

Japanese American
What is this some kind of new witchcraft? Ah, that makes so much more sense.

The microgames cleared in Kat and Ana's stage are in Japanese numbers, like last time, but was changed to English numbers in the American version.

9-Volt and 18-Volt's Stage

Also like WarioWare: Smooth Moves, 9-Volt's intro is different between regions. The game console 18-Volt notices is the Famicom in the Japanese verion, and the NES in the American version. Likewise, the console you see in-between microgames is colored respective to region. The witches representing lives were changed to more 8-bit looking workers. Oddly, the R.O.B. retains its Japanese colors in all versions.

Microgame Differences

Bubblegum Blues

Japanese American
Huh? What'd you want? HEY! What was that for!?

The American version added some leftover gum after the bubble was popped.

Crazy Straw

Crazy Straw looks very different in the Japanese version. The window showing a big city was changed to a countryside.

Japanese American
I'd assume that it tastes horrible. I'd assume it's Coke.

Level 1's drink went from blue to brown.

Japanese American
I'd assume that it's citrus flavored. I have no idea what that is supposed to be.

Level 2's went from green to yellow.

Level 3's remains the same in both versions. These rules also apply to Mooo-ve It!

Slap Jack

Japanese American
Mawaru-made-in-wario Slap JackJap.PNG WarioWare-twisted Slap JackUS.PNG

The Japanese version was based on the popular Chinese novel Journey to the West and features prominent Buddhist imagery. As most overseas players are likely not familiar with the story, the American version changes the theme to Jack and the Beanstalk.
