Are the Mini Game Room Games 'Canon'?

[CM30]

You know, the ones you play in Wario Land 4.

Because to be honest, I'm kind of conflicted on the matter really. On the one hand, the Wario Hop seems like something that could have plausibly happened on Wario's adventure, and is even set right in the desert he drives through to reach the Golden Pyramid. So that makes me think he is actually riding through the sands on a tyre while jumping over wacky characters and objects.

At the same time however, Wario Roulette makes absolutely no sense even by Wario standards, and it's incredibly vague who's actually playing the Home Run Derby game in the first place (Wario seems to be the ball in this one).

So what's the situation here?

Are they things that actually happen in 'real life' in Wario Land 4?

Or just video games that are eerily close to real life in how they star the guy playing them in the actual settings they take place in?

How do these games work in universe?

Well, if we were to take TreasureTrove's "Princess Shockora Theory", I'd say Shockora intentionally designed these arcade games with a Wario theme, so that Wario could have more fun when he played these games.

That said, is the Mini Game Room itself... I mean, Wario walks into a door, and winds up on the moon with 3 gamebots, that fly away instead of activating them when you pick them... What's up with that?

That's a really good question. Why does Wario end up on the moon anyway? What are the gamebots themselves? Cause that seems like quite a lot of advanced technology for a few arcade games in an ancient pyramid...

Maybe it's like the little Wario Car enemies: the pyramid somehow knows who's inside and creates enemies based on them. I think the Wario Hop is a canon event (if the ending where you don't get the Wario Car but another vehicle to make the journey back is the true ending, that is.) and was made into a video game by the same force that's responsible for creating Wario-based enemies. Think about it: Wario crashed his car in the desert against a rock and rides like the unstoppable badass he is on top of one of the tires to the pyramid. But there are two contradictions on this: when selecting a new file you can hear Wario stopping his car before he starts climbing the pyramid, and the Wario Car returns in later games, though this may be another nearly identical copy.
