I can tell you with 100% certainty, the way it works is there is a tiny little man inside the game cartridge who rates your games. And he hates you.<br><br>And he moves into your computer if you download the rom.

This is gonna sound insane, but literally 8 days ago I went back to this game and was looking around and had this EXACT same question, to the point that I wrote down "how warioware diy ranks games" in my video ideas list. My best guess was that it was based on data compressibility, since player-made games with more complex art seemed to sell better. I would've never gotten the time to actually make this video, so good on you actually figuring it out 👍

So the question remains: DO product recalls actually hurt your sales in any way? You know, besides the obvious fact that if you replace a game with an updated version, it'll have to build its sales numbers back up again?

No other "this game is X years old" statement has stunned me more than hearing DIY is 16 years old.
