History[edit]
WarioWare: D.I.Y.[edit]
WarioWare: D.I.Y. marks the first appearance of "Body Rock".
WarioWare Gold[edit]
In WarioWare Gold, arrangements of the English and Japanese versions of "Body Rock" are two separate records in the Toy Room. The original uncompressed vocal tracks are used, but the instrumentation is new. As records, the player can use the Touch Screen to rotate them to distort the music. The descriptions for both the English and Japanese versions erroneously state that the song originated in WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase.
