Gameplay[edit]

WarioWare: D.I.Y.[edit]

Wario is on a pirate ship plank holding two flags: a red one and a white one. Above him, there is a bubble ordering Wario to lift one of the flags. The player must poke the correct flag to win. If Wario does not raise the correct flag in a certain amount of time or raises the wrong flag, the fish will get Wario, and the player loses.

WarioWare Gold[edit]

There is a boy on a beach with the flags and the bubble ordering him to lift one of the flags. After a while, a pelican peeks in from the right, waits for a few seconds, and counts down from 3 to 1. The player must lift or lower the flags as ordered before the pelican finishes counting down. If they fail to do this, a beach ball knocks the boy away, and the player loses.

  • 1st level difficulty: One flag must be raised or lowered. Sometimes the command is to lift or lower both flags at the same time.
  • 2nd level difficulty: Both flags must be raised or lowered.
  • 3rd level difficulty: Similar to the previous level, but the Pop Happiness font colors for red and white are swapped.
