Wario Ware, Inc.: Mega Microgame$

Wario is pumping some iron and watching some television when he stumbles upon a video game commercial. Like any aspiring entrepreneur, Wario starts his own company, called WarioWare, Inc. With the help of his friends, he has released over 200 of the wildest and weirdest games the world has never known. The result? Pure instant-action insanity.

Each microgame lasts just five seconds--an on-screen time bomb tracks your remaining seconds. You are challenged by Wario and each of his developer buddies to beat all of their games. Each developer specializes in a particular genre of game, so the sets of microgames follow a theme. One developer even has developed games based on Nintendo classics, including five-second snippets of Super Mario Bros., F-Zero, Balloon Fight and The Legend of Zelda. The more microgames you defeat, the faster and more difficult they become. Directions on how to play aren't provided, so much of the challenge comes from figuring out how, precisely, to win. In addition, the games also appear in random order, so you can't simply memorize what you're supposed to do each time -- your only hope is to think fast.
