The W-W-M.W.V Team's Adventures
The W-W-M.W.V Team's Adventures is a series of text-based stories starring Wario-Ware-Man, his siblings Warrio and VARIO, Maya the Bee, and the main characters from the 1990 Calimero series, who investigate places and solve crimes going on in town. Though sometimes there will be other things going on not related to crimes or investigations.
This series takes place sometime after the Wario bros and Maya the Bee series, and as such takes place in Calimero's hometown instead of Dumb-Isle.
Maya the Bee, who was living with Wario-Ware-Man and his siblings by series 3 of Wb&MtB, is now living in her own house not too far away from the apartment complex they and the Green Team live in. Despite this change she still pays the Wario bros a visit every now and then.
Unlike earlier series of mine like The Wario Show and Wario bros & Maya The Bee, this series consists of only two parts, each of them having ten stories, making for a total of 20 stories.
Compared to The Wario Show and Wario bros & Maya the Bee, this series had far more ideas thrown around, including the plot for an nearly finished story being completely thrown out.
Series 1
The first part of the The W-W-M.W.V Team's Adventures series. While intended at first to be more like the 1992 Calimero anime, it kind of ended up going its own path instead.
Story #1. The pink things from outer space.
While looking at the telescope at evening Valeriano sees something soaring through the starry skies. Believing this strange object to be from outer space, he soon assembles his other teammates(and Wario-Ware-Man and his siblings) to go and look for this thing from space. However, it's not going to be a picnic in the park though, and after getting themselves trapped in some strange temple they find out that a pair of Dumb-Crows have also been trapped there while searching for something very unique. However, VARIO's quick to reveal that these fellows are more than just temple explorers, even if he's completely oblivious at their attempts to capture him.
Calimero and Priscilla are going out on a date at the town's caféteria. VARIO meanwhile has been taking a job as a kitchen boy in order to make some money to pay the bills in his home. While he tries to get the hang of cooking, Suzana secretedly shows up, uninvited, only to cause mischief for VARIO. Meanwhile Calimero and Priscilla grow tired of waiting for the dinner, the former more so. Will VARIO ever be able to cook up something the couple can enjoy?
It's the big go-kart race of the year, and Calimero and friends are taking part in it. All is going well for the boys until they suddenly disappear. Not seeing them anywhere on the racing track, the girls(including Maya) keep on speeding ahead. What they're not aware of is the boys have been shrunk down to specks, avoiding the cars of the normal-sized girls. Wario-Ware-Man meanwhile, suspects that somebody among the girls on the track might have been trying to shrink them all in order to cheat the race. But who exactly could it be?
Priscilla is fantasizing once again about her friendship with Calimero, and how it one day could extend to something much bigger, like a nice big wedding, romance, and so on. Knowing she's too young to even get herself married with her best friend, she can at least stage up a wedding play with herself and Calimero, and everyone of her friends are invited, including Wario-Ware-Man and siblings. To make it all extra special she makes herself grow very big on the day their "wedding" takes place.
However, it all takes a turn for the worse when Calimero has a hard time coming up with a proper answer, and not knowing what to say he responds "no" by mistake when asked. Priscilla's feelings are hurt by his response and she runs away sobbing. Feeling downcast Calimero blames it all on himself for what has happened. Can Calimero's friends make him get his act together and convince Priscilla he didn't mean to hurt her feelings, or is it gonna be all over between the two chicks in a flash??
Story #5. The disappearance of the gracious girl!
While being out in the park skating(with Wario-Ware-Man and siblings driving around on their bikes.) Valeriano sees a young girl passing by. But while he has his gaze fixed at her he ends up falling on the ground hurting his leg, while VARIO is even more unfortunate after crashing into the fountain and hurting himself all over. With both being at the same room in the hospital, they obviously have to share the space. As if this wasn't enough, the nurse who treats Valeriano is arguably more harsh on VARIO compared to Valeriano.
When night falls, VARIO is up watching the TV. He then comes across a report of someone having recently disappeared without any trace; the very same girl Valeriano saw at the park! The next morning Calimero and friends decide to go check out in the opposite building for clues. VARIO and Valeriano have to stay in their room though in the meantime. How did the girl disappear, and where is she now? Can Calimero and friends find the girl in time before the kidnapper gets away with her?
Story #6. The Demon Girl's Revenge!
What starts as a calm morning for Wario-Ware-Man and his sibling brothers ends up becoming yet another unplanned adventure inside their TV. Together with Calimero and friends, Maya the Bee sets out to go into their TV to take them back to the real world. When they finally get into the TV show they find items left behind by Wario-Ware-Man and his brothers, indicating they must have been kidnapped. Can Maya and her friends rescue them before it's too late?
Story #7. The Night at the Café Bar!
A night date between Calimero and Priscilla are planned to take place, and just them alone, at a much more fancy café bar. However, what they don't count on, and don't know, is Wario-Ware-Man and siblings, and Maya have also planned on going out there. After noticing them also going to the place, Priscilla asks VARIO to seat themselves far, far away from them to prevent her and Calimero's night from being ruined.
Tasked with this order, VARIO convinces the others to NOT sit at the table with a pot of flowers on it next to Calimero and Priscilla's table. Unfortunately for VARIO and the others, Wario-Ware-Man's poor picking of tables results in their own night being turned upside down.
Story #8. The Tourney against The Uncles!
For once, Wario-Ware-Man and his two brothers are out on an adventure of their own, namely a game of golf. When they arrive at the golf course in the forest they see a strange guy with gorilla-like arms and a snazzy hairstyle. The fellow reveal himself as Uncle-John, one of a certain red, greedy seagull's few arch-rivals. They're even more surprised to see that his caddy is none other than Foreman Spike, who has decided to return to play golf after years of being away doing other things. Needing a opposing team to play against, Uncle-John and Spike challenge them to a game of golf.
Wario-Ware-Man accepts the challenge on the spot, because playing golf is what he and his brothers came for. While Uncle-John and Spike look like a professional team, it seems that something's amiss when it comes to The Warios team's performance, what with their ball always landing behind The Uncles.
Story #9. The singing chick girl.
While skateboarding in the outskirts of the town Valeriano suddenly hears a singing voice.
