Crypto Zoo is one of the animal-themed microgames featured inKat & Ana's stage inWarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase. It returns inWarioWare Gold as one ofOrbulon's microgames.
Gameplay[edit]
There are three contiguous tiles showing portions of an animal, but not necessarily the same animal. Selecting a tile by tapping it or pressing changes which animal is shown on each tile. The game is complete when the tiles are set to the same animal, such that it displays a real (though distorted) animal.
WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase[edit]
The animals are a giraffe, cat, bird, and a pig. When complete, the screen flashes andWario laughs.
WarioWare Gold[edit]
Each tile rotates through the possible animals in the same order, even if the tiles start on different animals. When the game is complete, confetti falls and the animal makes a noise. Note that the game checks when the tile is toggled; visual confirmation that the tiles match is not required.
- 1st level difficulty: Two of the tiles match from the start. The animals are an aardvark, a goldfish, and a pig.
- 2nd level difficulty: None of the tiles match from the start. The animals are a cat, a camel, a chicken, and a sheep.
- 3rd level difficulty: None of the tiles match from the start. The animals are a bird, a zebra, and a cheetah. There is also a carrot, which does not complete the microgame if formed.

The microgame's name references the field ofcryptozoology.
