The Wario series has effectively split into two directions: a series of traditional side-scrolling platform games, and a series of party games under the WarioWare moniker. The platform games are a spin-off from the Mario Land series of games for the Game Boy. The changes from the Mario Land series, both stylistically and storywise—with anime-style cut scenes and a greedy protagonist—make the games unique from other platformers in the genre.[3][4] The latest Wario platform game to be released is Wario Land: The Shake Dimension (known as Wario Land: Shake It! in North America and Wario Land: Shake (ワリオランド シェイク) in Japan) for the Wii, and is a 2D platform game like the previous Wario platform games.[5] The WarioWare games are minigame compilations in which the player is required to perform a series of short activities at a quickening pace.[6][7] The latest game in the WarioWare series is WarioWare D.I.Y. (known as Made in Ore (メイド イン 俺) in Japan) for the Nintendo DS, which allows users to create their own minigames.[8]
