DevelopmentEdit

The team at SPD was thinking about making a WarioWare game where the player could create their own microgames in September of 2003, around the time when the original WarioWare game was released. Goro Abe, one of the principal designers working on the series, explained that he would regularly try to create games using RPG makers and mangas, but would get bored before he would ever finish them. Instead, he liked how quickly it was to create a microgame or a comic strip. He assumed that others would feel the same, so documented the idea with the words "Software for making microgames yourself using the WarioWare system." The game was originally planned for a successor to the Game Boy Advance codenamed the Iris, which at the time did not have a touch screen. Eventually the Iris evolved into the Nintendo DS, which would make the process of creating a microgame much easier.

After development of WarioWare: Smooth Moves on the Wii console, the developers went ahead and started creating D.I.Y. and its WiiWare counterpart, D.I.Y. Showcase.

Similarities to Mario PaintEdit

The designers of the game said that one of the biggest influences for them was Mario Paint. Many of the people associated with the game were big fans of the SNES classic, and brought many of the features from that game over to D.I.Y. Some of the similarities between the two games include:

• The very premise of the game is creation, which is the case with Mario Paint.
• The paint tool that is used to create objects seems to be ripped directly from Mario Paint.
• The music composition tool seems to be making a return from Mario Paint.
• If the player titles their game as Mario Paint, the Mario Paint theme will play when editing a picture.

NameEdit

The Japanese name (Made in You) represents the fact that the game is highly customizable. In Japan, the series is known as Made in Wario rather than WarioWare as it is in English, suggesting that rather than Wario and crew creating the various mini games the player does. With that said this is the first in the series not to have Wario in the title. The English name is WarioWare D.I.Y.

TriviaEdit

• When shipping a game, the first cartridge shape (from left to right) slightly resembles a NES, Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridge, the third one looks just like a SNES cartridge, the seventh one heavily resembles a Nintendo 64 cartridge and the eighth one heavily resembles a Game Boy Advance card.
• This is one of the best installments of the WarioWare series due to good graphics, the ability to make microgames and the availability of comics and music records.
• In the Comics section, Rei Betsuyaku's Pocket Cat comic is a reference to Doraemon.
