Fun and challenging mini-games that capture the spirit of WarioWare.
Charming pixel art and engaging gameplay make it a worthwhile purchase.

Boss stages can be overly challenging, requiring players to replay many microgames repeatedly.
The music and overall pacing may not appeal to everyone, leading to a less enjoyable experience.
