Bird & Beans and Paper Airplane Chase are two retitled minigames from WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! that have been released as downloads for DSiWare. Bird & Beans is a compilation of both Pyoro and Pyoro 2. Paper Airplane Chase is Paper Plane with some additional game modes. Both have been slightly retooled to fit the DSi's top screen and are only 200 Nintendo DSi Points.

Bird & Beans

Bird & Beans features both Pyoro and Pyoro 2 from the original WarioWare. Pyoro 2 is not unlocked until a certain score is reached in the first game.

In Pyoro, you play as the titular character and you must use his long tongue to catch falling seeds from the sky. The father away the seed, the more points are scored. Seeds not caught will break a hole in the platform that Pyoro stands on, blocking access to the other side. Only by eating a flashing seed will restore any broken sections of the platform. The more the player scores, the more the background is decorated with various shadows of a city.

Pyoro 2 plays the same as the first game with a few exceptions. The most noticable is that Pyoro and the background have changed color and rather than using his tongue, Pyoro spits so fast it's almost impossible to see. Because this is faster than the tongue, it is now fairly easy to hit seeds near the top of the screen so the scoring method has changed. The more seeds that are hit in a single spit, the more points that are earned.

Paper Airplane Chase

Paper Airplane Chase is split into 3 modes: Endless, Time Attack, and Race.

Endless is plays exactly like the Paper Plane game in the original WarioWare. The player guides a paper plane threw a tower while avoiding obstacles and navigating through narrow tunnels. It goes on until the plane crashes and the farthest score is recorded. Characters from WarioWare also show up at the first few milestones.

Time Attack is a band new set of stages where the player guides the plane through eight preset courses, three of which that must be unlocked. The courses are a little more difficult than the Endless stage with larger obstacles, narrower tunnels, and the occasional screen going completely dark.

Race is a mode for strictly two human players trying to race to the bottom of the tower. Both players share the same Nintendo DSi to play. The first player uses the D-Pad and the top screen while the second player uses the face buttons an the bottom screen. Rather then getting kicked out after crashing, the player will be briefly unable to control the plane before it respawns a second later.

Race is actually a combination of elements from the original WarioWare and Mega Party Game$!. The unique method of having 2 players share the same system was used for all multiplayer games in the GBA game and the game itself is a 2-player version of the GameCube version of the game which supported up to 4-player games.
