In WarioWare: Get it Together, the latest in the series coming to the Switch later this year, 9-Volt is making a return, and there have already been some confirmed Nintendo crossovers. During E3 2021, the Nintendo Treehouse: Live event unveiled several of these Nintendo-themed microgames, and here’s a list of all of them so far.

Luigi’s Mansion
The first microgame played in 9-Volt’s stage in WarioWare: Get it Together during the presentation was themed around Luigi’s standalone adventure series, Luigi’s Mansion. The microgame requires players to simply find a ghost in a matter of seconds by interacting with items around the room.
There’s a ghost moving from object to object, and by touching the object that the ghost is inside of, the mini-game will be completed. It’s interesting to note that this microgame’s ghost is an enemy from the first Luigi’s Mansion game for the GameCube and not the most recent entry, Luigi’s Mansion 3.
Animal Crossing
The next confirmed mini-game for WarioWare: Get it Together takes inspiration from Animal Crossing, and it’s another fairly simple one. Players will need to break the balloons holding a gift box when it gets closer to one of the game’s villagers. If players pop the balloons too early, it seems that the gift will drop into a chasm, and the game will count it as a failure, causing players to lose one of their lives.
Considering how massively successful Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ launch on the Switch was, it makes sense to include at least one type of microgame from the life-sim game.
Ice Climber
Besides the two leading characters appearing in the Super Smash Bros. series, Ice Climber, as a franchise, has been dormant for a very long time. However, Nintendo is bringing the classic slippery platformer to WarioWare: Get it Together in the form of a quirky microgame.
Players will need to grab onto a glowing circle that pulls them up to the top of the stage, and thankfully, they won’t need to grab ahold of the flying Pterodactyl, as Popo and Nana have to do in the actual Ice Climber game on NES.
Super Mario Land
2D Mario games tend to have some sort of appearance in WarioWare games, and this time around, there seems to be an homage towards Super Mario Land, a Game Boy title from 1989. Players will need to hit the question block to get some coins for the microgame to be completed.
Other Nintendo Crossovers
Although there has been no gameplay shown for these specific microgames just yet in WarioWare: Get it Together, some other franchise crossovers have been confirmed. There’s a tea-party microgame featuring Claude from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, one based on Splatoon 2, another featuring Super Metroid, and another from the original Super Mario Bros.
WarioWare: Get It Together is still a few months away from launching, but there are bound to be even more microgames revealed, either through trailers or possibly another Nintendo Direct in the fall.
WarioWare: Get it Together will launch on September 10th for the Nintendo Switch as an exclusive title.
