In the older WarioWare games like Twisted and Touched?
Because to me, it feels like the quality and quantity of these things has gone down a lot over time. WarioWare: Gold's got some neat mini games and stuff, but the majority are things like collectable cards and telephone codes. Get It Together mostly replaces it with gifts for characters, which is nice for leveling up, but not all that fun to play around with. And uh, I don't think Move It has anything of the sort.
What do you think?
I am quite fond of those little gadgets, I like how in-depth some of them got to basically be extra minigames, unrelated to the microgames. A game I played before WarioWare was Mario Party Advance, which featured similar toys under the name Gaddgets
(I wonder who made them?) that did various silly things. I think the next WarioWare is due for a silly toy collection
comeback!
I totally get the nostalgia for those quirky in-game collectibles. I've been adding to my collection with Super Mario toys https://www.jakks.com/brands/super-mario/ and they are a great throwback. They really bring back that classic vibe, especially since they come with cool playsets and plush toys. It's an entertaining way to relive the playful charm from those older games.
