Playing WarioWare: Smooth Moves
WarioWare: Smooth Moves is all about quick thinking and even quicker actions. The game features over 200 microgames. Each microgame lasts only a few seconds. You need to figure out what to do and then do it using the Wii Remote.
Using the Wii Remote
The main thing that makes Smooth Moves unique is how you hold and move the Wii Remote. Before each set of microgames, the game tells you to hold the Wii Remote in a specific way. These different ways are called "forms." For example, you might hold it like a remote control, a handlebar, or even a sword.
Different Remote Forms
There are 19 different forms in the game. Each form changes how you interact with the microgames.
- The Remote Control: You hold the Wii Remote straight in front of you.
- The Handlebar: You hold the remote with both hands, like bike handlebars.
- The Umbrella: You hold the remote pointing straight up.
- The Chomp: You hold the remote pointing down.
- The Elephant: You hold the remote to your nose, like an elephant's trunk.
- The Samurai: You hold the remote like a sword.
- The Thumb Wrestler: You hold the remote with one hand, pointing it down.
These forms make each microgame feel fresh and exciting. You have to quickly switch how you hold the remote and then perform the action.
How Microgames Work
In WarioWare: Smooth Moves, microgames come at you one after another. You get a quick instruction, like "Chop!" or "Balance!" Then, you have a few seconds to complete the task. If you succeed, you move on. If you fail, you lose a life. You have a limited number of lives, and if you run out, it's game over! The microgames get faster and harder as you play.
Characters and Story
The game has a funny story about Wario and his friends. They find a magical item called the "Form Baton." This baton is actually the Wii Remote! When they use it, strange things start to happen, and they get pulled into different adventures. Each character in the game has their own set of microgames. These microgames often match their personality or their job.
Main Characters
- Wario: The greedy main character who finds the Form Baton. His microgames are often about eating or being silly.
- Mona: A cool high school student who works at a fast-food restaurant. Her microgames might involve dancing or serving food.
- Jimmy T.: A disco dancer who loves to groove. His microgames often involve rhythm or quick movements.
- Ashley: A young witch who lives in a haunted mansion. Her microgames can be a bit spooky or magical.
- Dr. Crygor: A mad scientist who invents strange machines. His microgames often involve science experiments or robots.
- Kat & Ana: Two ninja sisters who love animals. Their microgames might involve animals or quick ninja moves.
Game Modes
WarioWare: Smooth Moves offers different ways to play. The main story mode lets you unlock new characters and microgames. There are also fun multiplayer modes where you can challenge your friends.
Single-Player Mode
In the single-player mode, you play through each character's story. As you complete their stages, you unlock new characters and more microgames. The goal is to master all the different forms and beat all the challenges.
Multiplayer Mode
The game is also great for playing with friends. Up to 12 people can play together, taking turns with the Wii Remote. This makes it a perfect party game. Players pass the remote around and try to beat each other's scores in the microgames. Some multiplayer games are competitive, while others are cooperative.

WarioWare: Smooth Moves was developed by Nintendo SPD Group No.1 and Intelligent Systems. It was published by Nintendo.
