Version Differences

This is a sub-page of WarioWare Gold.

To do: There's more. R.O.B. has a different colour in the R.O.B. mini-game of 18-Volt between the Japanese and International versions; There is an additional option on the title screen in the Japanese version.

Title Screen#

Japanese	International

The logo is different between the Japanese and international versions due to its name change. This also extends to the Roll Credits cutscene after clearing Story Mode, and the banner on the 3DS HOME Menu. The Japanese logo also has Wario at the top of it on the title screen.

General#

Spanish	International

All Spanish language versions of the game have the question mark used in place for stuff that's locked stylized as (?), rather than ? in the international versions, probably because the question mark is almost always accompanied by an inverted question mark in the Spanish language.

Japan	International

In the Japanese version, the game uses circles in many different microgames when completed. These were all replaced with check marks in the international versions (here are the graphics from Skate Race as an example).

Some of the microgame descriptions are different.

Maybe try changing Mario's speed by tilting your system!

Try changing Mario's speed by tilting your system!

For the Super Mario Bros. boss microgame description, the European version adds the word "maybe".

While you pop the balloons that appear as you float along,
watch out for lightning!

While you pop the balloons that appear as you float along,
watch out for lightning.

For the Balloon Fight microgame description, only a small punctuation change was made.

So this is what you gotta do—move Chrom next to an enemy and Attack.
And if there are no enemies, I guess you just gotta Wait.

Here's what you have to do—move Chrom next to an enemy and Attack.
And if there are no enemies, I guess you'll just have to be patient and Wait.

For the Fire Emblem: Awakening microgame, there are a few wording changes.

Count how many guests go in the house, and write it down.

Count how many guests are in the house, and write it down.

For the Head Count microgame, one word was changed.

Along with all these microgame description differences, all the Nintendo microgames reference what year the game was released. If the year is different between the Europe and US versions, that is changed as well. This also applies to the Nintendo collectible toys.

Microgame Differences#

Salad Daze#

Japan	International

The mushroom was changed for the international versions of the game. However, international versions still feature the Japanese version's mushroom graphic as "Shroom C" in the Wario Kard minigame.

Write On, Dude#

The Japanese version of this microgame requires the correct stroke count, whereas internationally, the detection is more forgiving.
