AUG 3rd Forecast: Mostly sunny Hey, everybody, how ya doin'!? To be honest, I couldn't care less how you are doing! I'm doin' great! I ate a healthy breakfast of bacon, bacon, and more bacon, and washed it all down with a glass of bacon grease! Oh, I've decided to keep a diary, starting today! Why, you ask? Because I'm gonna include it in my autobiography, entitled "Wario: The Brains Behind the Boogers"! I'm gonna make millions! That's right, baby! It's all about the money! Treasure chests are nice, but that gold stuff's heavy! Give me stackable, foldable, crinkly green cash any day! But never mind that, I've got to get writing! I pounded down a healthy cup of sugar (with just a dash of coffee) for breakfast, and then I rushed to the office to put the finishing touches on my new game, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$. Or at least, that's what I was gonna do! I hopped on my chopper, and there I was, cruising along, just a-singin' a song (hey! I'm a poet!), when all of a sudden, my bike starts flippin' out, and I take a wicked spill! After my face had finished skidding across the concrete, I realized I'd landed right on some guy's wallet! I guess today's my lucky day! It's Done!!! It's Done!!! I Bet You Wanna Know the Controls! + Control Pad Control Stick Select items and control movement in mini-games. A button B button Cancel. Enter settings and make selections. START/PAUSE Display the pause screen. AUG 4th Forecast: chance of Rain AUG 5th Forecast: Partly Stinky So, this morning, I'm, like, wrist-deep in my nostrils--digging for gold, you know--when suddenly, I get the best news ever! My newest game, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$, had been completed!! Heh heh heh... It's like a license to print money! I'm gonna make a mountain of cash on this, and it's gonna be mine, all mine! As for all you chumps around town who helped me make this game, tough luck! No royalties for you! Yesterday, at the wrap party for my game, I ate so much liver ice cream that I gained a whole twenty pounds! Heck, I ate so much that I can't even squeeze past the bathroom door!! So anyway, I figured I'd just sit here and write Controller explanations for you lazy bums! ha ha!!! aaah ha ha ha Waa AUG 6th Forecast: How should I know? I Wanna Play a Game! Hey, I'm Mona, and I KNOW! Whoa there! Not so fast! First, place the Game Disc and a Memory Card into the Nintendo GameCube and the turn the power ON. At the title screen, press START/PAUSE. I'M DONE WRITING!!! You know, up until now, I've been doing my best to write everything down, but this just stinks! It's not me, and I GOTTA BE ME! And ME DOESN'T WRITE! But I can't give up on my autobiography!! Hmm... I got it! I'll get the people around town to write it for me! It's just my diary. It shouldn't matter who writes it! Dang! I should have had somebody else write the whole thing right from the start! If you're playing the game for the first time, following the instructions on screen to create a new game file on the Memory Card. The next selection you have to make is whether to play a single-player or multiplayer game. Then, just follow the instructions on screen and start the game! *Explanations appear on the bottom of the screen, too. Just so you know. You can save player names in both the single- and multiplayer modes! Where's All the Games!? Single Player Multiplayer · Game grid · Microgames It looks like Wario could use a little color in his life! Why don't you give him a hand? · Multiplayer data party games Title Game Data · View player · Sound · Rumble Feature · Change names · Clear saved data Forecast: Rain, rain, rain! Options AUG 7th Hey there! It's me, Mona! It's been raining here all day, and I've got cabin fever, so Wario asked me to write his diary for today! I'm so excited! There are so many fun games in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!! Play single player if you want to try your hand at our many, mini microgames all by your lonesome. If you want to some competition, though, grab your friends and play multiplayer. Either way, it's a lot of fun! Don't worry if you don't know how to play each game. Everything'll be explained along the way! All right, everybody! Get fired up! *Multiplayer mode requires you to have friends! You can't play against a computer-controlled player! Saving data This game has auto-save and saves your game data all on its own! You need to have one file and four blocks free on your Memory Card. Refer to your Nintendo GameCube Instruction Manual for information regarding formatting Memory Cards and deleting files. You can still play the game even if you don't have a Memory Card, but you can't save. While data is saving, don't even THINK of removing the Memory Card or pressing the Nintendo GameCube POWER Button. To delete save data, select Delete Data from the Options menu. Survival Fever Yo! I wrote the diary entry for Survival Fever from the Multi-player Mode! AUG 8th Forecast: cool and sunny Aw, yeah... I was on a raging Survival Fever kick all night! It looks like it's gonna be a great day out, but I think I've gotta play more Survival Fever! Play this way! The object of this cool game is to work the crowd and keep them happy--you want to be the last player standing! Try to bug your buddies so that they lose their cool and their audience! Try sneezing while your pals are playing. Shake `em up and make `em mess up! It also really throws them if you stand up really quick and dance a . little jig. Yo! Dig these crazy flares! AUG 9th Forecast: Bright and sunny It's hot! Hot hot hot! The sand in my sandbox is burning my feets! Oh, turtle! Hey, turtle! Mr. Turtleturtleturtle! Sorry I jumped on your back, but my feets were on fire!! How's this sound? This game gets more tough every time you lose a microgame! Sensei said the most important thing for a growing ninja is a good sense of balance! While you're wobbling back and forth, yell out "TIMBER!" to see if you can make your buddies mess up and fall! Wobbly Bobbly It's been such a long time since I've written in a diary! I wonder if I still remember how... But guess what! I can write cursive, even though they don't teach that at ninja school! AUG 10th Forecast: Blazingly hot I love the city in the summer!! Nothin' beats the smell of hot asphalt! No, seriously, the air conditioner in our taxi's busted, and I'm one HOT dog! Dribble, give that diary a rest, and let's play Milky Way Delirium! How about this!? The way it works is you win the microgame and then blast the asteroids and mark `em for yerself! Yo, Dribble, you might be good at the microgames, but you'll never win if you don't pick the right asteroid to blasteroid! Don't stress about the asteroids in the middle. Make yer buddies take those! As long as you get the corners, the game's all yers! Making alliances with other players before the game ain't fair, but give it a try if you stink at the game. Milky Way Delirium AUG 11th Forecast: scattered showers Do you recall the storm clouds that were hanging around last night? I made them rain... I did it with a little invention I created using the theory of balloonic entropy. I've discovered the equation of success! I've no interest in this diary nonsense. I've got SCIENcE stuff to do! But...Wario said he'd help with my rent if I wrote this for him. Science doesn't pay the bills, I'm afraid. The person playing the microgame when the balloon explodes is a loser! If you follow my directions, you surely will be the victor! While carefully timing the incremental increases in balloon size, scream BLAMMO at the top of your lungs to scare other players--this approach has proven successful in lab experiments. Watch the speed at which the balloon grows. It might benefit you to lose a microgame or two in order to time it so that you aren't playing when it blows! Balloon Bang Scientificky mustache Bzzz AUG 12th Forecast: Cicadas!! Noisy!! I heard a rumor at the office. My employees have been complaining about me behind my back! They say I don't do anything, that I just walk around getting in everyone's way and eating their donuts. I'll show them! No paychecks for a month! Outta My Way! Argghh! I thought I told you I wasn't writing this diary anymore! I hate work, and this diary's turning into one big chore! Irritate your pals! This is my kind of game! The object is to irritate people and play dirty! I can cover almost the entire screen. What!! Unfair, you say?? That's the point of this game! You can do anything in the name of victory!! Try unplugging your opponents' Controllers when they're not looking! If you start to lose, just tell everybody, "I'm gonna hurl!" and run away. Make sure you cover all the important parts of the screen with your bad self. Warp I'm sick of all this writing! We're taking a break! See if you can wrap your head around ...
