History YMMV / WarioWare

** Lulu is often interpretated as a close friend of Kat & Ana thanks to their similar ages and personalities.

** Cicada, the female martial artist who is often seen with Young Cricket and fully appears in ''Move It'', is frequently depicted as a childhood friend or relative.

** Although it's unclear how Ashley and Red first met, it is commonly speculated that Ashley met Red by having summoned him from the demon realm.

** Doris-1 is frequently portrayed as being a mother figure to Penny in fanworks. Given that Penny and Doris-1 only have two notable interactions in ''Get It Together!''[[note]]Doris is alongside Penny when she completes her water tank and is outside while Penny tests it[[/note]], it's not clear as to what their relationship is like.

*** In general over the years, there has been plenty of demand for a game focused on Ashley more then any other character, rather it be the aforementioned ''Crazy Galaxy'' or something in lieu of a Main/{{Metroidvania}} for any new Nintendo system. While Ashley still appears in her home series to this day, many wonder about why she has never gotten a game to herself despite her ''BreakoutCharacter'' status

** [[spoiler:Cicada]]'s reveal is rather surprising since this is a character whose existence seemingly only ever amounted to a minor detail in Young Cricket's backstory, and mostly to tie him further with ''VideoGame/RhythmHeaven Fever''.

** ''[=WarioWare=]: [[AssShove Shove It Up Your Own Ass]] Game''[[labelnote:Explanation]]A line from one of Chad Warden's infamous rant videos where he refers to ''Smooth Moves'' as such. Later got adopted by the ''Music/SiIvaGunner'' channel as the subject of some rips.[[/labelnote]]

** [[LesYay Ashley/Penny]] has become a popular pairing for the two, with many fans liking the [[OppositesAttract contrast between them in regards to personality and skillset]] (Ashley being a reserved witch, Penny being a cheerful scientist). This is in spite of the two having only having interacted once in the entire franchise (which was a rather minor one on the Japanese-exclusive ''Smooth Moves'' CharacterBlog), with their relationship being unknown outside of being co-workers.

** Considering how the games tend to avoid direct references to ''VideoGame/WarioLand'' beyond easily missable references, no one expected [[spoiler:Cractus, one of the bosses in ''VideoGame/WarioLand4'']] to appear as a secondary character in ''Move It!''.

** Many were not expecting to see Kung Fu Girl from ''VideoGame/RhythmHeaven Fever'' (later named Cicada in ''Movie It!'') in Young Cricket's character trailer, confirming the fan theory that the boy in the Kung Fu Ball minigame [[CanonCharacterAllAlong is actually a younger Cricket]].

* ShockingMoments: While ''[=WarioWare=]'' featuring microgames based on other Nintendo games has become a standout element of the franchise, the series has always stuck to pulling from games developed by Creator/{{Nintendo}} and Creator/IntelligentSystems, the developers of the ''[=WarioWare=]'' series, or subsidiaries of Nintendo like Retro Studios. So when ''Move It!'' broke this streak by featuring a microgame based on, of all games, ''VideoGame/MarioPinballLand'', it was surprising in the sense that it deviated from tradition (with ''Pinball Land'' being credited to Fuse Games) and because it was for an otherwise forgotten GBA spinoff with middling reception. (A few other microgames in the series have been based on games with significant development contributions from other companies, like ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', ''VideoGame/MetroidDread'', and ''VideoGame/WiiPlayMotion'', but either Nintendo or Intelligent Systems are always credited for at least some of the development in those cases, while Fuse Games is listed as the sole developer of ''VideoGame/MarioPinballLand''.)

** Considering how the games tend to avoid direct references to ''VideoGame/WarioLand'' beyond easily missable references, expected [[spoiler:Cractus, one of the bosses in ''VideoGame/WarioLand4'']] to appear as a secondary character in ''Move It!''.

** Nobody expected [[spoiler:Cractus, one of the boss in ''VideoGame/WarioLand4'']] to appear as a secondary character in ''Move It!''.

** Fans generally tend to dub Young Cricket's partner from ''VideoGame/RhythmHeaven Fever'' and his ''Gold'' PV as either "Young Dragonfly" or "Young Butterfly" in order to retain the [[ThemeNaming insect naming scheme that Young Cricket and Master Mantis have.]]

** Many were not expecting to see Kung Fu Girl from ''VideoGame/RhythmHeaven Fever'' in Young Cricket's character trailer, confirming the fan theory that the boy in the Kung Fu Ball minigame [[CanonCharacterAllAlong is actually a younger Cricket]].

** This series tends to be blamed for Wario's {{Flanderization}} into a BathroomHumor loving {{Gasshole}}. Primarily thanks to ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', which has ''Ware'' as Wario's primary series. However, this can't be further from the truth. While the games are filled with BathroomHumor, very little of it actually comes from Wario himself, with his story and microgames having very little toilet humor. That isn't to say Wario doesn't have his moments in the series, but it's nowhere near as common in the series as people make it out to be. Furthermore, Wario's love of BathroomHumor is OlderThanTheyThink, with Japanese manuals for the ''VideoGame/WarioLand'' series having an emphasis on his love of poop.

* BreatherLevel: "Banana Munch" and "Hard Core" from the first game - in a game where quick timing and thinking is commonplace and you have to stay on your toes, just letting loose and mashing A a lot (even on the later difficulties, as it's just more A presses that are required) is very much welcome. It helps that the two are identical in gameplay.

*** Kat & Ana both being 5-6, the average age of kindergartners.

*** Lulu is usually given a general age of 8, since she's around 9-Volt's size, but acts closer to someone still away from her preteens.

** Penny is often interpreted as being a trans girl in many fan headcanons.

** Ashley’s age tends to be a touchy topic whenever it gets brought up due to how vague it is. While she isn’t the only character to be vague in terms of age, Ashley is a more contentious case since on top of her child-like design, the West explicitly refers to her as a [[OlderThanTheyLook 15-year-old teenager]] and gives her a deeper voice to match, while in Japanese, it is implied that she is more akin to a child, while never giving her an age. Some fans accept that she is a teenager since it's the closest to an official stance on her age and argue that Ashley isn't exactly special in this regard since there are other characters who don't match their ages[[note]]Dr. Crygor is stated to be over 100 in ''Gold'' and is explicitly Penny's grandfather despite looking more like a middle-aged man and 18-Volt is stated [[YoungerThanTheyLook an eighth grader despite looking like an adult]][[/note]]. Others though, refuse to accept Ashley as being anything other than a child due to her design, and since Japan seems to imply her as such (even though again, they've never confirmed her age) and regards anything that considers her to be a teenager as nothing but non-canon, localization-related nonsense by Nintendo's Western divisions.

* FoeYayShipping: It's a very rare ship, but there is fan art shipping Mona with Vanessa from ''Touched!'', despite the latter's hatred and envy towards the former in that game (though, it's implied that they made up by the end, as the two are later shown to be performing together at the hawt house after Mona's story).
* FriendlyFandoms: With the ''VideoGame/RhythmHeaven'' series due to them being created by the same team, having similar styles, and the frequent crossovers between the two franchises.

** During the Touch League intro from ''Gold'':

** ''Gold'' also has a moment during the ending where Wario tries to escape with his money, but after he trips, Young Cricket runs up and grabs Wario to hold him down while everyone else retrieves the cash. The problem? Cricket grabs Wario by the ass, leading to [[http://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/422640846626750464/475411870086463488/unknown-1.png this unfortunate screenshot.]]
** Also from ''Gold'', Jimmy saying "What can I say? I love myself a little feline" (he's talking about a cat that climbed into his afro).

** From ''Gold'': Is 5-Volt really dumb enough to buy into the false claims of Mr. Sparkle's frying pans, or is she too DistractedByTheSexy that she's mesmerized into buying whatever he's selling?
** Also from ''Gold'', the true nature of [[spoiler:Wario Deluxe. Is that Wario being possessed by some sort of evil force? Or is Wario just DrunkOnTheDarkSide, showcasing how truly evil he is after becoming all-powerful? And for that matter, there's the issue of whether the golden pot is just a potty like Lulu says or something more mystical in nature. The in-game cards imply that the pot itself is just a chamber pot and that Wario Deluxe is just a sleep-deprived Wario, which sounds more like a joke answer, but considering that this is ''[[QuirkyWork WarioWare]]'', it could very well be true. However, that doesn't explain the sudden voice and outfit change after putting on the pot, nor does it explain [[ShockAndAwe the lightning powers he got midway through his fight]] (all of which he loses the moment the pot is taken off), so it could very much be something much more.]]
** Also from ''Gold'': Was Doris 1 legitimately enraged at Dr. Crygor for abandoning her in the forest or was she possessed by something that caused her to flip out?

* ScrappyMechanic:

** Dribble & Spitz's boss microgame from ''Twisted'', named "Basic Training". You must violently shake the system in order to outrun a boulder, while jumping over obstacles and holes. If you can see anything on the screen, you're not shaking it fast enough to outrun the boulder. Nearly unplayable on level 2 or higher. It returns in ''Gold'', but is substantially easier because the graphics are better, there are no holes, and you race other railcars instead of having to outpace a boulder.

* ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs: It's a minigame collection, [[WidgetSeries on crack.]]

* WidgetSeries: The plots and microgames are often varying degrees of strange. It has steadily decreased over time, as much like its parent series, the strangeness has become completely commonplace and people are used to it by this point.
