In the game's opening cutscene, Wario accidentally drops two consoles that he had stolen.Then, the Sewer Guru appears and asks Wario if he had dropped a
two-screened console, or the consoles that he had dropped.After tackling the Sewer Guru after demanding all of them, and learning that it is controlled via
touching the bottom screen when the two screened console's
stylus comes out, Wario decides to develop games for it to make money. The rest of the game features self-contained stories for every character in their stages: Wario gets a toothache after eating too many sweets, Jimmy T. gets a bug in his hair while dancing with his family, Mona plays in a concert, Ashley sends her assistant and only friend, Red, to capture Orbulon, Kat and Ana try to locate their stolen bananas, Dr. Crygor upgrades himself with a new invention, Mike does karaoke for a planet of alien bunnies, and 9-Volt and 18-Volt play "36-Volt Man", a new game 9-Volt had just got. In the game's final level, Wario eats some "nasty garlic" when he gets sick, and turns into his superhero alter-ego, Wario-Man. Each unlocked character (aside from 4) has their own collection of short minigames, referred to as "microgames". These often use character specific control methods, such as
Dr. Crygor's collection, referred to as "Slightly Unscrewed", being based on circular motions, like reeling in a fish or swimming, and Mike's collection being based on microphone use, such as blowing bubbles in a drink or using an animal shaped whistle. Completing the story mode for Jimmy T reveals he has 2 siblings, Jamie and James T, both of which can be unlocked as playable characters. However, instead of having special gimmicks like the others, they reuse existing games in a compilation. The later unlocked "Monster" and "Hardcore" mix are the same, however these use every character, instead of James and Jamie's usage of only 3 each. Wario and his superhero form lacks the gimmick driven nature of the other characters and instead uses a variety of touch control styles, such as drawing a fuse or tapping to pet a cat, compared to just one method with the others. Competing a story mode quest or gaining above a certain number of points in any given character's collection awards the player another game. These are referred to as "Souvenirs" and range from a
Yo-yo to a "Grandma Simulator", in which you blow on tea using the mic and a grandma gives you advice based on your method of blowing on her tea. == Gameplay ==
