Mug Shot is one of Wario's microgames in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, found in the Introduction folder and returns as one of the Job Center's microgames in WarioWare: D.I.Y., as well as one of Wario Deluxe's microgames in WarioWare Gold.
Gameplay[edit]
In this microgame, Wario has to catch his mug while it is sliding across the table. In WarioWare: D.I.Y., the player simply needs to tap the glass to win, which the player needs to draw first. In WarioWare Gold, sometimes a mushroom has to be caught instead of a mug.
- Level 1: The mug always comes from the left.
- Level 2: The mug may appear from the opposite direction.
- Level 3: Two mugs may come in opposite directions; one will come and stop and suddenly another mug appears from the opposite direction, which has to be caught.
If the player misses the mug, Wario becomes sad as his eyes get crosses.
Wario's Job Center description[edit]
"This is a game where I catch the drink sliding down the counter! ...Or anything else that slides down the counter!"

Naming[edit]
A "mug shot" is a photograph of one's face, especially one taken by the police during an arrest; here the term is used as a pun, as the player is tasked with having Wario catch a literal mug.
