WarioWare D.I.Y., officially called WarioWare: Do It Yourself in PAL regions and known in Japan as Made in Ore (メイドイン俺?, lit. "Made by Me"), is a mini-game compilation and design video game released for the Nintendo DS in 2009. It is the seventh title in the WarioWare series, after WarioWare: Snapped! It was first revealed at Nintendo's conference on October 2, 2008 and it was released in Japan on April 29, 2009. It was released in March, April, and May 2010 in North America, Europe and Australia respectively and was accompanied by a separate WiiWare title, WarioWare D.I.Y. Showcase. The game revolves around the Super MakerMatic 21, a machine that allows players to make microgames, music records and 4-page black-and-white comics.
Dr. Crygor dreams that he is playing on a game console (which resembles a Wii with a Classic Controller) when suddenly all the characters in the game come out of the screen and cause a stampede. Waking up from the nightmare, Dr. Crygor comes up with a brainstorm and invents the Super MakerMatic 21. While the machines are being assembled in Dr. Crygor's lab, Wario enters with a broken television set for repairment and notices the Super MakerMatic 21 is being assembled. He wants to trade his broken television for one of the Super MakerMatics (thinking that it is a television set as well), at which point Dr. Crygor explains what it actually is and its ability of making microgames easily. Wario is amazed and realizes that Dr. Crygor's invention is the key to making huge fortunes and starts WarioWare, Inc. once again. Unfortunately, many of his employees have quit, so he hires the player to make microgames for him.
WarioWare D.I.Y. allows players to design their own microgames, creating their own graphics, music and designing a 'cartridge' for them. The game features five sections in its main menu: D.I.Y. Studio, where the player designs microgames, WarioWare Inc., the tutorial, D.I.Y Shop, where the player makes microgame cartridges, Options Garage, where players edit preferences and names, and Distribution Center, in which players send games to the Wii or vice versa. Players can also receive games from the NinSoft store while at the Distribution Center. Due to its cross-compatibility with the Wii, the gameplay is restricted to tapping mechanics. When creating the music, the player can hum into the DS's microphone, which the DS then converts into notes, or create their own music. These notes can then be performed by various instruments such as pig noises, similar to music creation in Mario Paint.
