The Pot of Luxeville is an artifact that appears in WarioWare Gold. It is a golden, heavy chamber pot for the city of Luxeville. At the very beginning of the game, Wario steals the pot from a temple there, thinking that it is valuable without realizing its role. Lulu, a resident of Luxeville, chases down Wario throughout the game to take back the pot.

History

One day, the Pot of Luxeville is washed, then left in a temple to dry. During the prologue, Wario sneaks inside and steals the pot because it is golden and probably expensive. Wario affixes it to his bike and takes it to his house. He keeps the pot next to his chair, and it can be seen in the background of the video in which he announces the Wario Bowl.

During the Wario Bowl, Wario brings the pot into the room of Diamond City Stadium where he and the Alien Bunnies are working. Wario holds up the Pot of Luxeville and notices a foul odor coming from it. As the Alien Bunnies previously swarming Wario back off due to the stench, he brushes it off as "the sweet smell of victory".

In Wario Deluxe's stage, an Alien Bunny helps Wario wear the Pot of Luxeville as a crown, which transforms him into Wario Deluxe, granting him a golden outfit and deepening his. While on Wario's head, the diamond-shaped portions of the pot open outward slightly, and a red "W" appears on the front. In this state, Wario Deluxe challenges the player to his set of microgames for the final challenge of the Wario Bowl. During the battle, Wario Deluxe interferes with the player by using lightning to prevent the player from hearing and seeing the guide for the inputs for several microgames.

Later on, Lulu jumps up to Wario Deluxe and tries to pry the pot off his head. This prevents Wario Deluxe from using his powers, allowing the player to complete the microgames and defeat him. After the battle, Lulu demands that Wario Deluxe give her back the pot. When he refuses, she uses her Hydrocannon LX to spray it off his head, transforming him back into Wario. Lulu explains the pot's true role as a chamber pot for Luxeville. Wario, hysterical, agrees to let her take it back. Lulu ties the vase to a balloon left over from Wario Deluxe's battle and rides back to Luxeville along with Ruffington.

In the epilogue, Lulu returns to Luxeville with the pot. However, Pops reveals that Luxeville recently obtained a high-tech toilet, much to the dismay of Lulu and Ruffington.

In the Challenge mode Wario Interrupts, Wario Deluxe uses lighting and various additional powers to interfere with the player's ability to complete microgames.
