Note: here will only be listed cameos of Wario as hero of his own series, appearances of him as character from the Mario games will be listed in the Mario series' page.
Microgame versions of other Nintendo games in the WarioWare series generally create a sub-universe link with it, since microgames are supposed to be videogames within the Wario universe; microgames in
WarioWare: Get It Together! however create an in-universe link because Wario and his friends enter the microgames' universe; the same is applied to microgames starring Wario.
