WarioWare: Get It Together best characters

We all have our own favorites, but some of WarioWare: Get It Together’s characters are clearly better than others. Anyone with an automatic jump like Kat and Ana is clearly out of contention, while free-flying reigns supreme. Our picks for the best characters in WarioWare: Get It Together focus on the speed with which they can get around or hit targets to solve most microgames.
- Wario: He flies freely, is easy to control and can shoulder barge both ways. A winner.
- Ashley: The best character in the game, Ashley can fly freely and unload shots from afar to complete games.
- 18-Volt: Like Ashley, but rooted to the spot. Struggled in some microgames but dominates most.
Those are our picks for the best characters in WarioWare: Get It Together, but choosing the power team every round isn’t exactly in the spirit of WarioWare madness. If you want the most fun, choose a random team instead.
That completes our list of all characters in WarioWare Get it Together. Got a favorite of your own? Let us know down in the comments!
