The games in the series are collections of very short and simple games, called "microgames" or "minigames", played in quick succession.


Both the ''WarioWare Series'' and the ''[[Rhythm Heaven Series]]'', having been made by the same developers, share fairly similar structures, being minigame collections with rankings, stages, remixes/harder versions of past minigames, and unlockable extras. They also share the same whimsical, comedic tone. The two series often reference each other, with the [[Wario...Where?]] and [[Wario...Where? 2: The Sequel]] [[Challenge Train]] courses in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' being the most prominent example of this.

[[Jimmy T]] does not use his design from this game however, as his [[mariowiki:Ski (minigame)|minigame]] requires him to wear a ski outfit, and he instead wears his classic outfit in [[The Clappy Trio 2]].
