WARIO WARE: GOLD
And now, we come to the end of our run of Wario Ware games with Wario Ware: Gold, one of the last games release for the 3DS. The game's story revolves around Wario stealing a powerful treasure (toilet) from a distant village and holding a tournament with the treasure as the grand prize, only for a young girl named Lulu to strike out on a quest to get it back. Most of our crew returns, with full voice acting for all of them this time.
Wario's games are all the basic beginner stuff to get you used to the game, including holding a door, dodging a spotlight, stomping a Goomba, focusing a camera, pumping iron, pulling his mouth to catch stuff, slicing fruits, and stirring coffee. At the end of the game, he faces off with Lulu as the final boss, placing the treasure (toilet) on his head which somehow gives him superpowers (I don't want to know what that village had been eating). He then floats, throws lightning, and takes off in a balloon throne.
Jimmy's story involves a cat getting into his afro, prompting a bunch of girls to want to take pictures with him. His games are all sports-related, as is common, including fencing, shooting hoops, bouncing a ball, doing squats, lifting weights, jumping hurdles, passing a baton, jumping rope, and making a goal.
Mona's story sees her shopping for a dress to wear to a party that she later invites Gelato Joe to. Her game's are all called "That's Life" which honestly seems a better descriptor than "Strange." They include covering a cat with an umbrella, picking a nose, avoiding another pedestrian, pouring hot water, squirting ketchup, counting moles, finding a bathroom stall, catching a cookie, squirting eyedrops, and hammering a nail.
Dribble and Spitz's story sees them driving their taxi through outer space after dropping off a passenger getting attacked by flying saucers. They fend them off using their octobazooka. Their games are all "fantasy"-themed, including finding treasure, avoiding meteors, beating an octopus, hopping from clouds, steering a leaf, and sidestepping arrows.
9-Volt's mother 5-Volt gets her own set of games this time around. Her story features her watching an infomercial about a new frying pan and learning the workout needed to lift the thing, resulting in her gaining super strength. Her games are much like her son's, all being based around Nintendo games. These include Donkey Kong Country, Balloon Fight, Super Mario Kart, Mario Clash, Ocarina of Time, Ice Climber, Kid Icarus, Yoshi's Island, Super Mario Land, and Fire Emblem.
The game is divided into three groups, the Mash League, the Twist League, and the Touch League. While Mona, Jimmy, Dribble and Spitz, and 5-Volt were part of the Mash League, the next group lead the Twist League. Ashley's story features her summoning a starving demon, deducing it is the work of the demon Hum Gree, and entering her book to fight and defeat him. Her games are also "fantasy" like Dribble and Spitz, including sliding the moon, shaving the Earth, catching a butterfly, disarming an opponent, reflecting light, lighting a candle, running from a monster, and lowering a bridge.
Dr. Crygor's story sees him and Mike wandering through the woods in search of mushroom when they are attacked by a disgruntled maid robot named Doris 1. Crygor covers the sports games just like Jimmy, including arm wrestling, golfing, hula dancing, synchronized swimming, skiing, rock climbing, surfing, and shooting a watermelon.
In 18-Volt's story, he comes across a bully named 13-Amp and challenges her to a rap battle. His games are also Nintendo-related, including Super Mario World, Wind Waker, Donkey Kong Jr., Metroid, Golf, Super Mario Sunshine, Pikmin, Stack-Up, Dr. Mario, Super Metroid, Animal Crossing, and Super Mario Bros.
Penny's story sees her creating a "tonally transformative elixir" to give herself the voice of a pop star and trying it on her grandfather, resulting in him getting a stomachache. She covers the "That's Life" games, including shaving a beard, playing violin, trimming pigtails, balancing a ruler, extracting a tooth, sweeping leaves, sharpening a pencil, sewing, squeezing toothpaste, and tuning the radio.
Kat and Ana start off the Touch League with the "That's Life" category. Their story sees them going to take the test to get their Ninja learner's permits, but getting confused and entering an eating challenge instead. Their games include dragging a paper clip, unrolling toilet paper, tracing a kanji, poking birds, playing piano, threading a needle, ironing clothes, and grating a carrot.
9-Volt covers the Nintendo category of course, his story featuring him and his pet Fronk realizing he can do math if he thinks of it like an RPG. His games include Mii Maker, Donkey Kong, Nintendogs, Excitebike, just Cheep Cheeps, Wrecking Crew, Link Between Worlds, Amiibo, and finding the stylus.
Young Cricket covers the Sports category, with Cricket and Master Mantis visiting an amusement park to "train" themselves on the rides. His games include passing a ball, skiing, curling, doing situps, taking off clothes, riding a horse, doing a chin-up, swimming, and bowling.
Orbulon covers the fantasy games, and his story features him becoming obsessed with a fast food chain's hamburgers and ordering them until they run out. Wanting to help, he goes an abducts a bunch of pigs from a farm so that they will have enough "ham" to make the burgers, only to discover his mistake and keep the pigs as friends. (Have I mentioned, I really like the characters in this series. They're great.) Anyway, his game include throwing shurikens, spotting a ghost, tickling a pig, watering a flower, inflating a camel, and finding a thief.
At the end of the game, you have two Ultra League sets, with Mona, Penny, and Kat and Ana of the "That's Life" sets, and Jimmy, Dr. Crygor, and Young Cricket of the Sports sets, all dancing in a nightclub as you play through a mix of their games; and 9-Volt, 18-Volt, and 5-Volt of the Nintendo sets and Ashley, Dribble and Spitz, and Orbulon of the Fantasy sets having pot-luck picnic with each other. Mike and Fronk act sort of like the hosts of these games.
Finally, I must talk about Lulu. Obviously everything Wario can do with the toilet on his head could probably be attributed to Lulu as she comes from the village the treasure is from so could probably use it if she wants to. She is also shown using a squirt-gun, the Hydrocannon LX, and arrows against Wario, twisting to remove his crown, and floating on a balloon. She also makes friends with a dog, Ruffington, and takes a nap on him, and forces Young Cricket into a piggyback ride, but I don't know how much those things translate to Smash gaming.
The stages present in the game include Luxeville, where the toilet was stolen from, Diamond City Stadium, the farthest edge of space, Ashley's mansion, the agate forest, Penny's lab, the Diamond City Castle, Diamond City Elementary, Club Joe, and Diamond City Amusement Park.
