People always claim that gamers are struck with an acute case of attention deficit disorder. Finally, there's a game that proves it. "WarioWare Inc.: Mega Microgame$" for the Game Boy Advance is a collection of games that last no more than a few seconds, but will forever be burned into your temporal lobe. This week on "X-Play" we prove that exquisite graphics, epic quests, and complicated gameplay mechanics are nothing when compared to the joy of slicing a piece of steak in less than five seconds.

Greedy Wario and his off-the-wall minigames

It seems that Wario, not unlike certain mega corporations, has caught wind of the money to be made in the videogame industry. Hoping to capitalize on this hot market, Wario enlists the talents of his friends to create games for him. The cutscenes and story will leave most in a state of bewilderment. Who cares? Instead of being some cliche adventure game like 80 percent of the GBA library, "WarioWare" throws over 200 of the most off-the-wall minigames you've ever played at you until your brain breaks. And it will break. There's no use fighting it. Just let go. It is nature's -- and Nintendo's -- way.

Some of the minigames are simple retreads of classic Nintendo games from the NES era. "Metroid," "F-Zero," "Mario," "Zelda," "Punch Out!!," and just about any other Nintendo property you can think of are cannibalized into their most simple forms. Other minigames defy definition. One has you sucking the snot back into the nose of a jilted young girl while another asks you to stop a sword with your bare hands or face the consequences.

Step up the intensity

As you make progress the minigames become more demanding and give you less time to complete them. Many times you'll sit with your mouth agape in wonderment at what just happened. Then you'll laugh and completely miss the next minigame. It's genius. In what could be a first for videogames, "WarioWare" makes you want to fail just to see what happens. One minigame asks you to deploy an airbag before the driver's head comes into contact with the steering wheel. But it's much more fun to watch your head spring erratically off the steering wheel.

It's an addiction

There's only one thing a game that asks you to pick a nose can be, and that's one of the best handheld games ever. "WarioWare" is absolutely hilarious and provides the exact kind of quick-hit fun the GBA is made for. A game this absurd can't walk away with anything less than a five out of five, even if we're still having nightmares about missing the toast.
