Breakdown is one of Mona's microgames in WarioWare: D.I.Y.
Gameplay[edit ]
The only thing the player has to do is to break the three fissures in the wall by tapping them. When a fissure is tapped, a man representing one of the letters of the title of WarioWare: D.I.Y. appears. If time runs out, the player loses. Rarely, the man representing the letter Y appears in a yellow unitard with a heart on the chest.
Since the title of WarioWare: D.I.Y. differs between localized and Japanese versions, the revealed people differ as well. In localizations, the three men form the letters D, I and Y by doing gymnastics. In the Japanese version, which is known as Made in Ore, the people represent the letters M, I and O and look different from each other. A sitting man forms the M with his bare legs, while a man in swim briefs does a handstand to resemble the I. The king appearing for the O does not form a letter but most likely appears because the Japanese word ō (王) means king.
Naming[edit ]
The term "breakdown" has various meanings, such as "failure" or "fragmentation"; the microgame's title is a play on the word, alluding to the act of "breaking down" a wall.
