Move the lower parts to match up with the next piece as it falls. This is high-tech stuff!" (Gold) "Some call my method for assembling Tigronic robots "absurd". Bah! I call it genius! One must assemble these robots from the bottom up, stacking each part as it falls from above on top of the part that came before it. The stacked pieces don't even need to line up perfectly! Unconventional but effective!" (Get It Together!) |

Manic Mechanic is one of Dribble & Spitz's microgames in both the Sci-Fi folder in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! and the Fantasy level from the Mash League in WarioWare Gold and one of the microgames found in Dr. Crygor's High Tech level in WarioWare: Get It Together! The game was designed by Ko Takeuchi.[1]
Gameplay[edit]
There are robot legs at the bottom of the screen, which the player controls with /. The other two sections of the robot (torso and head) fall from the top of the screen. The player must move the legs to catch the other two parts. They do not need to be aligned; the bottom of one part just has to touch the top of another.

- 1st level difficulty: The robot resembles an anthropomorphic tiger and its parts are relatively wide. When it is assembled, a "V" appears, a reference to the anime series Voltes V.
- 2nd level difficulty: The robot resembles a girl and its parts are skinnier. When it is assembled, a "U" appears.
- 3rd level difficulty: The robot resembles an officer and its parts are even skinnier. When it is assembled, an "A" appears.
WarioWare Gold[edit]
In WarioWare Gold, the robots are thicker, making them easier to drop down. The 2nd and 3rd levels have also been changed to different robots. Also, when completed, a "V" appears regardless of the difficulty level.
- 1st level difficulty: The robot is Tigronic v.1, whose parts are relatively wide.
- 2nd level difficulty: The robot is Tigronic v.2, whose parts are skinnier.
- 3rd level difficulty: The robot is Tigronic v.3, whose parts are even skinnier.
WarioWare: Get It Together![edit]
The same basic gameplay is unchanged from the previous games but the playable characters have to push the base left and right and the game lasts twice as long as it used to. Additionally, the base is on tracks.
- 1st level difficulty: The robot is blue and its parts are relatively wide. Upon success, it grows arms and legs.
- 2nd level difficulty: The robot is yellow and its parts are skinnier. Upon success, it grows arms and legs.
- 3rd level difficulty: The robot is red and its parts are even skinnier. Upon success, it grows arms, legs, and wings.
If two players are utilized for this microgame, the player that last touched any of the robot parts before all pieces are assembled receives an effort point or, in the case of Rising Star, a star.
Mission[edit]
- Leave Me Hanging: The player must stack each part hanging more than halfway over.

- Jimmy T is a below-average fit as his manner of moving requires careful moving for the robot parts.
- 5-Volt is a below-average fit as her shockwave may move the robot parts too far from each other, preventing the parts from reaching each other.
- 9-Volt can only move left and right, and his yo-yo's power may move the robot parts too far from each other, preventing the parts from reaching each other.
- The water from Penny's Jet Tank One may move the robot parts a bit too far, preventing the parts from reaching each other.
