Another three challenges in the bag! Hey, at least the wait time wasn't as obscenely long. *Week 44's That's Pushing It focuses on pushing things. Wario's specialty! But I also made sure to bring along 5-Volt and Jimmy T for the ride. This theme feels... kind of familiar, but I still managed a...

Yep, you've guessed it. The laptop that gave me a, well, spark of hope (that game's title) died again. And it took me this long to find the time to type this up on another replacement. So, let's get back to work on covering June's and remainder of May's challenges, counting up from Week 37 up...

These past four weeks I've been away have been a disaster. Original computer died, real life commitments, my tendency for the replacement laptop to freeze randomly... but here, have a belated terapack. My first attempt to write this, let's hope it doesn't freeze. Week 33 is called Twice as...

I aten'd dead! Sorry about not posting for the last three weeks, just been too busy. Yes, I did do every Wario Cup, though, so this will be a hopefully rare triplepack of Challenges; Week 30, 31 and 32. To some extent, that's because the former two features everyone's least favourite...

Best we could hope for is a nice congratulatory popup. methinks. It isn't really all that sustainable to add a super secret only a few intrepid players will be able to attain; even I haven't got all Gold trophies.

Isn't breaking things in microgames fun, after fixing it? Week 29's You Break, You Buy features microgames where breaking certain objects, from rocks in You Can Lead a Robot To Water to an entire skyscraper in Crash Course. Another one of those themes that makes much more sense when you see it...

It's another Double Play challenge featuring characters just unexpectedly made for each other. Up and Down features the two crew members who fire, well, up and down; Red, and Mike. For these ones you have to think quite carefully about who's the best one for the job; it's probably worth putting...

Time for a very belated doublepack. I don't think Wario's lying when he says Week 26 is "My Worst Nightmare". They are all cleaning-related in some way, as you may expect, but at least it isn't Mona-dominated. Of course, being a timed challenge, you're supposed to get these...

Week 25 is another one of those which faked me out by the name. Look Both Ways shares its name with a microgame, yet has nothing to do with it; the microgame doesn't even appear in the set. Instead, it's another one of those challenges that pairs 9-Volt with Kat and Ana. This time, in Double...

Much of what I recently think of the game comes from here, too. I still wholeheartedly think it was the best Switch game I've played recently, and a better deal than Mario Party Superstars. Due to a lack of time on my part, though, recent plays have been limited to Wario Cup, but it is still the...

Week 24 now breaks all reality and goes beyond microgames. Pyoro Time! is another one of a tired cliche of Pyoro-related microgames... or so I thought. As it turns out, it completely breaks reality and brings Wario Cup beyond microgames... to Showdown. I know, someone must've enjoyed it, but...

Alright. Week 22 and 23 doublepack it is. Best Day Ever presumably revolves around what Wario would think is his best day of his life. Well, with the microgames he picked, he certainly made it a tough act to follow to rush through as fast as possible. Meanwhile, Better with Age goes with about...

Apparently, GIT has now attained 1.24 million. I can't find where it is on the Nintendo website cited, but if true, this is an outstanding performance for WarioWare and shows all is not lost after all.

Week 21 is another exclusive character challenge. Let the Music Move You is your standard 18-Volt exclusive Challenge. I guess we've yet to see one require him solo, which is nice? Other than that, though, it is endless with no other specifics with theming. Fairly passable. I got a score of...

For me I first got in around ~October 2020, mostly by watching comparison videos from Greenalink (need to double check that name)'s YT comparisons between Gold microgames and their original counterparts. It's fascinating. My actual first WW game was of course WarioWare: Get It Together, bought...

New features and an awesome theme? You've outdone yourselves. Week 20's The Most Dangerous Games is pretty much what the title says. A gauntlet of fifteen microgames which all have a way to KO the poor crew member in charge of them. Gotta admit, I actually love this idea. Theming Challenges...

For Week 19, they're really scraping the barrel. More Pyoro? Come on, this is just a duplicate of Pyoro, Pyoro! Okay, fine. I guess it's a timed challenge this time round, whereas the original was score attack. I guess revisiting is somewhat cool... just Pyoro doesn't do it for me. I got a...

Happy New Year! I guess I'll do Week 17 and 18 in one go. Week 17 involves Wario's version of All Stars. Mario All Stars? Nah, Wario All-Stars. One character, one microgame, and even the 2-player only chars are on the line. Gotta be honest; I didn't enjoy this one, and is the main reason why I...

Week 16 finally sees Wario Cup get a day in the limelight. Super Mario World Marathon is the first cup that requires beating boss microgames; specifically, the namesake Super Mario World. You're given a crew of three, who'll always be assigned to the same level: Penny on L1, Master Mantis on...

They're asking for more than ever! Week 15's Kick It Up a Notch supposedly has all the easy microgames. Indeed, a few are Intro, and others are, well, handlable. The problem is that the set speed is the absolute maximum. Previously, the only way to achieve such a speed in Wario Cup was doing...
