WarioWare: Get It Together! (NSP, XCI) ROM

WarioWare: Get It Together! is a party video game developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It is the tenth installment in the WarioWare series, following WarioWare Gold (2018) for the Nintendo 3DS. The game was released worldwide on September 10, 2021, and sold 1.34 million copies worldwide.

It is the final game in the WarioWare series to feature Charles Martinet as the voice of Wario before his retirement from voicing the character (and other characters in the Mario series) in 2023. This zany game brings you over 200 lightning-fast microgames filled with frantic fun. Join Wario and his eccentric crew as they fix a disastrous business scheme using their signature style and a twisted collection of hilarious challenges.

Whether you’re playing solo or with a friend, Get It Together! Offers a comedic and cooperative microgame mashup that guarantees laughter and unpredictable gaming excitement! In WarioWare: Get It Together!, Wario finds himself in yet another hilarious predicament as his latest business scheme goes awry.

Determined to set things right, he relies on his signature style (and distinctive smell) to navigate through the madness. This time, however, there’s a twist: you get to control not only Wario but also a whole cast of wacky characters, each with their unique abilities. This cooperative microgame mashup adds an extra layer of excitement and teamwork as you strategize and tackle the microgames together.

GAMEPLAY

Get It Together! continues the WarioWare series tradition of tasking players with completing sets of “microgames”, which each require the player to clear an objective in just a few seconds. In this game, Wario and his friends have been sucked inside his latest gaming device, meaning they must participate in the microgames themselves. As such, the game has up to two players control a group of characters, randomly alternating between them in between Microgames.

Characters are controlled using the directional stick and a single button, with each character behaving differently in how they move and what actions they can do. For example, Wario flies around on a jetpack and can perform a shoulder charge, Mona alternates between automatically riding her scooter and controlling a boomerang in the air, and 18-Volt fires CDs from a stationary position and can only move around by hooking onto rings.

These unique abilities mean each character has different ways of clearing the same microgame. For example, a microgame that requires spinning a windmill around can be cleared by either pushing the windmill physically or hitting it with projectiles. Up to 20 different characters can be unlocked for selection. There are party-style minigames for up to four players outside of story mode.

There is also a ranked mode in the game called the Wario Cup featuring various challenges. The player can give presents (named prezzies in-game) to the various playable characters to level them up.  Leveling up a character will result in the base score being raised which can benefit the player in the Wario Cup. The player will also be able to customize the appearance of the playable character of choice. Prezzies can be obtained in the emporium and by other means.

PLOT

The game begins with Wario and his friends at his company WarioWare Inc. (which includes Lulu, who previously appeared in WarioWare: Gold) when Wario finishes the game unit they have been developing. When he tries to start it, the console does not turn on, much to Wario and his friends’ confusion. Annoyed, Wario throws the console in the air and he, along with his friends, gets sucked inside the game, is turned into virtual versions of themselves, and enter the game. When they wake up, they discover that their game has been invaded by “Game Bugs”, which cause corruption and glitches within the game’s levels.

Wario and his friends have to defeat these bugs to clean the game and return to the real world. Eventually, the group defeats the game’s final bug, the Wario Bug, a corrupted and possessed version of Wario. They then leave the game bugs alone after Wario gives the bugs a home in the final level. “The Supreme Developer”, a god-like figure with Wario’s nose and mustache, appears to them after that and tells them that he brought Wario and his friends into the game to clear it of the game bugs, which Wario inadvertently caused due to his poor programming skills.

He then tells the group that they are free to go. Back outside, everyone learns of Wario’s involvement in creating the game bugs and angrily chases him down, but he notices that three of WarioWare’s members (Red, Master Mantis, and Lulu) are still stuck in the game, and the group goes back into the game to find them. Upon re-entering the game world, the Supreme Developer tells the group that their friends have been captured, although it was done by a mysterious figure and not the Game Bugs. They then progress through a series of skyscrapers that their friends are trapped within, all three of which have treasure inside of them.

When all three pieces of treasure have eventually been collected, the group finds a note that dares them to combine the treasure. Dr. Crygor calls Penny to help after she invents the Jet Tank One in her lab. After she enters the game, they combine the treasures which turn into a watering can that they use to grow a giant beanstalk, but it disappears afterward, to Wario’s dismay. They climb the beanstalk and defeat the final boss, who turns out to be Pyoro, the main character of a fictional game franchise within Wario‘s world, who took up residence in Wario’s game too because he wanted to have fun. After his defeat, Wario is disappointed that Pyoro has no more treasure.
