Is it possible to make timed mini games like Wario Ware in RPG Maker

[y0k]

Hi guys, I really want to implement this on my game, but I have no idea on how to do this, is there anyway I can do that?

thanks in advance!

With correct coding, plugins and stubborness, you can have an elephant dance.
But probably, if you're asking, you're not aware of how RpgMaker work at all.

If you're about to decide if using RM for a game that heavily abuse of arcade minigames, I tell you it's easier to use another engine and then create the RPG features than doing the inverse in RpgMaker.
Most RPG or most arcade? That decreet the engine you should use.

If for some reason you pretend to use RpgMaker anyway, mind that you can do very very simple minigames thru eventing.
For more complex minigames you'll enter the realm of JavaScript coding, and you should already own an above than average coding skill for that.

Yes, it's absolutely possible. I've made dozens of action/reflex minigames in RPG Maker - some similar to WarioWare, some much more complex. It's also difficult and finicky. Your first good minigame might take 10-20 hours or more to create.

If you're looking to create an RPG with a few WarioWare-like minigames in it, RPG Maker is a good platform for that. I recommend either spending some time just experimenting with RPG Maker's Event Editor and seeing what you can do - or asking on the appropriate Support board for that engine on this forum if you're stuck with how to do something specific.

However, if you're looking to create an entire game like WarioWare, and you don't need stuff like a pre-built Battle System or Inventory System, RPG Maker is not a great choice for you. I would recommend something like GameMaker Studio 2 instead.
