When I opened the box of this game, I was surprised to see that the gamepack was huge. It kind of looks like the Kirby Tilt & Tumble cartridge that came out for the GBC and works a little of the same way. This game comes with a built in gyro sensor and rumble pack. The gyro sensor tracks movement in the gba. This adds an interesting twist to the game (sorry for the pun). First off, you no longer need to use the d-pad, which takes some time getting used to. Instead you select everything by turning the gba to the left and right. You can hold it down by holding the R button.

This game plays exactly like the original game with the added gyro sensor games. There are some A button games, but they are beaten out by the gyro games. Some A button games are also gyro based like for instance 9-Volt's game where you must hit the bombs before the eggplant man gets to you. As ridiculus as this game sounds, its actually quite fun. The game advises at start up that you move the GBA and not yourself but occasionally I found my self moving with the GBA kind of like that effect of racing games where players will lean to the left or right while turning a corner in the game.

If you are the kind of person who can't handle fast movements such as spinning left or right or even upside down, then this game is definately not for you. Those of you who liked the other games should pick this one up especially those who bought 'Touched' because if you play it with this cartridge in, you can unlock something for the toy room. The game takes a while to get the hang of but after a while you'll be able to take on most of the challenges. The 'Story' mode, though not deep, can be completed within a couple of hours but is still fun to go back to.

Pros
- Innovative games
- Built in rumble feature
- Humorous games

Cons
- Takes time to get used to wacky controls
- Not for those who get dizzy or have nausea

Nintendo does it again!

This is a great game! It is the first game that I have ever had that you actually move the game boy! It has over 200 games in it and you can unlock souvenirs! It takes a while to beat and then you can try to beat your high scores! This is a great value for your money!

One of GBA's best!

Wario Ware has always been wacky and fun,but now it goes beyond that with new tilt control.
Any Wario Ware fan will instantly love it,while others new to the series may want to start with the original game before playing this.

The game is way better than the DS wario ware and maybe even better than the orignal!

Pros:
-Controlling with the tilt sensor is easy and fun
-A whole bunch of sovoniers to unlock (over 130)
-Works great with all three systems:GBA,GBASP,and DS
-Put it in your DS with WW Touched to unlock an extra toy for touched

Cons:
-Disapointing final boss
-Those darned telephone numbers!

A marvelous spin!

The WarioWare series of games may not be the best gamers can find on a GBA, but it's no doubt one of the craziest. And the level of craze heightens with the release of WarioWare: Twisted. The main idea of sending players into mini-games upon mini-games hasn't changed, but the execution has been drastically altered to make this a hell of a spin.

One important element of the cartridge is the inclusion of a "gyro-sensor", which is able to detect rotary motion. Now, you can see where this is going. Yes, a large amount of action in the game is now tied in to the sensor. While pressing the "A" button continues to serve its purposes, turning your GBA around will become of your most common movement when you play this game. Be it climbing up a spiral staircase or attempting to push a toothpick past a set of teeth (!), the tilting and turning is crucial to completing the mini-games. If I'm not wrong, this is an industry first for a handheld console.

Apart from the gyro-sensor, the cartridge also houses an internal rumbler. What this does is that it vibrates your GBA under certain circumstances, for example, when hammering a nail into place. This is much like the PS2 Dual-Shock Controller, which may or may not appeal to you. Still, you can fault them for trying to make the gaming experience more interactive. Obviously, this is also an industry first for a handheld console.

As good as the new features are, the graphics for the game are as good as usual. They blend in nicely with the various themes of the games, and considering the amount of stages, I think they did a good job in making the graphics look fresh and enjoyable. The audios are also excellent, but at times a little pressurizing. It becomes kind of distracting as the music speed becomes increasingly faster as you progress, but that's just me.

Overall, the inclusion of these two features is an amazing leap for the GBA in terms of gameplay, especially in the face of strong challenges from Nintendo's own DS, and Sony's very popular PSP. Most importantly, they make you feel that their presence are more necessary than just being gimmicks. And with a huge library of mini-games (over 200, I think) to select from and tons of "souvenirs" (over 100) to unlock, it's not a surprise if you find yourself spending a lot of time on this once you get started. I'd recommend this game for fans of this WarioWario series, but if you're not already one, it could be a good time to get started.

OHHHHHHHHHHH YEah!

Okay, I've noticed that a lot of kids reviews have been misspelled and misjudged. Mine, however is not. this games kicks butt! The gyro chip and the rumble pak add a great new "twist" to gameplay. I have been playing the old warioware games for quite awhile now and I have to say, this makes the old ones look horrible. (No offense DS owners, but this is WAY better than Touched! :))

Great game!

I really enjoyed this game very much, as I had the other two warioware games. I had a slight problem controlling a few minigames, but with practice the twisting action became rather fun. I liked that with Kat and Ana you could use the A button, and that with Dribble and Spitz you could the A button and the twisting action together. Each board had an interesting theme. I also really enjoyed collecting all the souvenirs. I rated this four stars because I thought the previous warioware games were slightly more fun.

Wario Ware is Totally Twisted

This game is just so much fun and addictive.It couldnt be any better.There sre so many different mini games and all of them are so unique like balancing an umbrella, or riding in a ferris wheel,and many others.Although some of the games are obviously a little gross, like digesting food, and running into a bathroom stall, most of them are just a little abstract.Which makes the game so interesting.The built in sensor is so cool, you rotate the gameboy to play most of the mini games.I find myself spinning the gameboy around and around until my arms hurt.There are two main modes, story and spindex.The story mode is where you unlock all of the mini games and it is where you move on to new levels by completing "boss stages".Once you complete about a 4 second mini game a new and different one comes next.There are many different characters to choose from but you only start with one because you have to unlock them.In the Spindex mode you can go under a certain person and see all of the mini games that you have already played in the story mode.You can get high scores on these games and play the ones that you really like or practice the ones that you are terrible at.There is one more mode and that is souvenires, in story mode when you complete a boss stage you get a souvenire.It is usually like a little toy instrument or figurine, but sometimes they are more mini games.It is really fun to see how many you can get.They are all collected in the souvenir mode so you can look and play with them whenever you want.This game is so fun and addictive and is not very in depth so it is great for little kids.I have absolutley no complaints about it.Other people say that you cant skip the long and boring cut scenes.They are long, but you can skip them by simply pressing the start button.Overall I think this game is terrific.

BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know what you are getting into with a Wario Ware game. This is another great game in the series.
I think I misunderstood how input can be read. Your movements are only turning your system to the left and right, not really, uh, twisting at all (also "Wario Ware: Turned" doesn't sound too exciting).
Nobody seems to mention it in reviews but the game also has a built in rumble. Kind of superfluous, but a nice touch.
Anyway the minigames are as great as ever. I have unlocked just about everything and I am still looking for more. The change in input format let the programmers run wild with their imagination. There are some seriously bizarre games in here.
If you have played any of the Wario Ware games you need to check this one out too. If you haven't played them yet what are you waiting for?

Fun !

I play this game on my new DS LITE. I love the game.... I am totally addicted to it right now.
This game cartridge has a built in gyro sensor. Basically it's a bunch of mini games! You control the games by turning the DS side to side and completely around. There is also a rumble feature built in to the cartridge.
You will find your self wanting to play all your games in this manner! You will also find that you just "gotta" show this game to everyone! It's so different and fun and totally worth getting and sharing !It wont take that long to complete but the ride will be very fun and different!
