WarioWare: D.I.Y. (Home) Improvement Thread

[GBA]

OK, since GS's WarioWare: Smooth Moves collab was such a success, I've decided to replicate it by creating a new collab dedicated to improving the UGC-centric title WarioWare: D.I.Y. and all articles relating to it, with a little extra help from Squiddy himself. Since Smooth Moves was improved, WarioWare: D.I.Y. is now arguably the worst main WarioWare article on the wiki, and here's why:

• Multiple missing sections such as "Development" and "Reception and Sales". The opening cutscene before the title screen could also warrant a "Story" section ty GS. The "Gallery", "Staff" and "Contests" sections also breach the empty section policy.
• The "Features" section needs to be rewritten, expanded, and split by game-creation tool and pre-built content. taken care of by GS, just needs expansion on the pre-built content section
• The "Modes" section is just a bulleted list of one-liner sentences, which could easily be expanded upon.
• Not counting the microgames, Most of the articles relating to WarioWare D.I.Y aren't linked to in the article except via the nav template. There aren't many of these atm, but hopefully that'll change with this collab
• The "Trivia" section is too long
• In general, the article is lacking in images, and the Gallery itself needs improvement

If anyone wants to help out with the article then feel free to call dibs on any of the above tasks. Aside from that, there are some other things that need to be done relating to D.I.Y:

• Several missing articles also need creation:
  • Locations: - Gamefreak has offered to do the rest of these too, on ya
    • Assembly Dojo - certainly warrants an article. could be structured like the other table articles we have for the game (i.e Records and Comics)
    • D.I.Y. 101 - I believe it needs further expansion from just a three cell table on the List of Microgames page
    • Distribution Center - include info on the wireless connection features
    • D.I.Y. Studio - The creation hub of the game
    • D.I.Y. Shop - Sections for each room of the shop could be created, including info on the sales chart and other things
    • Options Garage(?)
  • Various Downloadable Microgames - I think MCD had a project dedicated to creating these, but since the distribution service is set to end at the end of May, we should try to create these articles asap. Afaik, the List of WarioWare: D.I.Y. downloadable microgames also doesn't list all of the microgames.
  • Miscellaneous:
    • D.I.Y. Forum - GS suggested that this could warrant an article. Including quotes and a character list would be a start. (GS has also called dibs on starting this) w00t it's up, but it's still missing heaps of conversations. Gamefreak75 and Turb have volunteered to fill these in.
    • Diamond Software
• Many of the current lists and tables related to D.I.Y are outdated and need to be completed.
  • List of WarioWare: D.I.Y. downloadable microgames
  • List of WarioWare: D.I.Y. contests
• I think others could also be illustrated with a few images
  • List of records in WarioWare: D.I.Y.
  • List of comics in WarioWare: D.I.Y.

So yeah, hopefully this collab will be just as successful as the last one. Thanks everyone

For now, I'll call dibs on starting the D.I.Y forum page and transcripting entry 1-9 (that's what I have unlocked).

 

[GBA]

ok so I've decided to focus on images, including ones for the records and comics tables

on that note, I found these through the WarioWare DIY website. Most of them are just altered versions of the official artwork, but there's some unique ones in there, so which ones should I upload?

Spoiler

There could be more, these are just the ones I found. There's a flash that contains images of the locations, but I can't dump them unfortunately.

i have (i think) all of the microgames that were on the WWDIY Showcase online thing, I'll probably change my wifi settings to see if the ds WWDIY online has anything different available

we can only get info on the american microgames, though, unless anyone has access to the japanese/european servers (i imagine the latter is more likely than the former)

Created the D.I.Y. Forum. Obv. I don't have much unlocked so I'd need help (read: someone else) to write the transcripts and make the character list.

I can work on this, since I assume I have everything unlocked for it.

if we could figure out what to do about this that'd be cool

also apparently there's 51 threads on the diy forum like gs said but i don't know if it holds water or not (for reference, i have 33 threads unlocked and will start putting them up once i have any idea what to do about ordering them)

I would also like to help transcribe the D.I.Y. Forum and I have 43 unlocked at the time of this post. I also noticed that some of the threads are indeed in a different order for my copy (North American) with "Play on Wii? HOW?!" being #18 for me while it's #7 for GS.
