Wario Ware: Smooth Moves!

WARIO WARE: SMOOTH MOVES!

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves! is the fifth game in the Wario Ware franchise, this game being built around the gimmicks of the Nintendo Wii console system, most of the games being based around moving around the Wiimote and motion controls. All of the characters from the previous games return, alongside a young martial artist named Young Cricket, his master Master Mantis, and Doctor Crygor's granddaughter Penny.

Wario's main story involves him chasing a creature called a Splunk all the way to a mysterious temple wherein he finds the mystical Form Baton (the Wiimote). After escaping from a giant boulder, he then tries to use the baton to make money off of it. His second game involves him getting split into a bunch of tiny Warios by a bike that Penny invented, the swarm of Wario's eating a bunch of strawberries, before coming back together and being chased back to the temple and forced to return the baton. His games are all a general mix to get you used to playing the game. These include sauteing vegetables, shaving, shooing flies, and blowing down enemies with a fan. His Mini-Warios games are also a wide mix to test your abilities at the end of the game. These include punching, clearing the air, sorting things, parrying with a sword, and yanking a tablecloth.

Mona's story involves her leading a cheerleading squad at her high school's football game, with one of the football players having a crush on her and gaining motivation to win the game because of it. Her games involve using the Wiimote like a cheerleading baton, focusing on your form with it. These games include swatting a fly, balancing on a ball, drinking water, saving a person from falling, yanking a nose hair, and guiding people to their respective restrooms.

Kat and Ana's story involves them defending their dojo from a giant ogre, using their swords and ninja power to turn into turtles as they do so. They're games require you to use your Wiimote like a sword and use it quickly. Their games include shaving sheep, flying a paper airplane, cooking meat, slicing wood, inserting dentures, and throwing darts.

Young Cricket and Master Mantis's story features them traveling to Diamond City and seeing a stand selling dumplings run by Mona. Young Cricket runs over the heads of those in line to get some only to be forced back to the end. He's also shown in a montage punching, doing a handstand, balancing on a pole, kicking, and flipping during his training. Their games require you to hold a stance rather than moving. These games include vacuuming, balancing a broom, curling, sawing a log, collecting apples, skiing, hitting a volleyball, and keeping a stack balanced.

Jimmy T.'s story involves him giving a cat an umbrella to protect him from the rain, leading to a group of cats following him to the club and dancing with him. His games are all a remix to refresh your skills, most of them being moves from the previous set of games. We're later introduced to Jimmy P., a hawaiian-style lookalike of Jimmy T. who gives a dog a bone, leading to him getting a group of dogs to dance with him. His games are also remixes of previous games.

Ashley's story involves her and Red trying to create a monster plant using her spell book. After a brief failure, they succeed and create a plant so big it breaks their mansion. Ashley also uses Red as a magic wand. She also flies on a broom briefly. Her games feature you using the Wiimote like a wand, spinning it like you're casting a spell. These include woodcarving, picking a card, playing pool, shaking a spray can, jumping rope, shooting cans, and rolling dice.

Dribble and Spitz's story feature them giving a taxi ride to a woman to the top of a hill, where she is then revealed to be an alien and leaves in a UFO. Their games involve you holding the Wiimote like a steering wheel. The games include abducting a cow, slicing an orange, pouring sugar, whacking with a stick, playing ping pong, arm wrestling, and running an obstacle course.

Penny's story features her competing in an invent-off against her grandfather, building a new bike for Wario. She also has a jetpack like her grandfather. Her games involve you using the Wiimote like a wrench, turning it slightly. These include hammering a nail, turning a key, using a magnifying glass, tuning a radio, playing whack-a-mole, sharpening a pencil, grinding seasoning, winding up a toy, and fighting with a sword.

9-Volt and 18-Volt's story features them getting in a fight after 18-Volt accidentally break's 9-Volt's game & watch game. 18-Volt then heads out to the toy store to get him a new one to make up for it. (This one is freaking adorable and heartwarming by the way). Their games as always are based on old Nintendo games. This time, they include Super Mario Bros., Animal Crossing, Pikmin, Nintendogs, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, the Wii in general, Balloon Fight, Baseball, Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Paint, Sketch Artist, Punch Out, the SNES, Metroid Prime, and Starfox.

Orbulon's story features him crashlanding inside the Form Baton temple from before and coming across a mysterious balance stone. His games feature both the Wiimote and Nunchuck. These include making a bridge, raising a flag, matching numbers, matching time, pedaling, and using maracas.

Finally, Doctor Crygor's story features his new invention, the Kelorometer, capable of slimming down anything. His games all have a fitness bent to them. The games include sawing wood, deflecting watermelons, shaking a bottle, scrubbing a ship, and so on, mostly games from old levels, just geared to help with exercise.

Mike appears in both Penny's and Doctor Crygor's stories, and Ken the Reporter and Gelato Joe also appear.

The locations in the game are pretty basic Diamond City locations, with the Form Baton Temple being a new one, and then featuring the Diamond City Stadium, the Shogun's Castle, Club Sugar, Diamond Academy, Diamond Taxi, Tomorrow Hill, 9-Volt's House, Toy Express, Club Spice, and Ashley's Mansion.

I guess the form baton and the balance stone can count as items.
