Second Chance: Dribble & Spitz/Kat & Ana Split

DRIBBLE & SPITZ/KAT & ANA SPLIT

So, this one is mostly just a due diligence entry. Up to now, both of these duos had been included as an Ice Climbers-style tag team, and I was mostly comfortable with that. Where the rub came in was when I looked at the roster, saw characters like 9-Volt, 18-Volt, and 5-Volt having their own slots, and Young Cricket and Master Mantis having their own slots, that it just didn't feel right for them to only get one each. All the same, for Kat and Ana, at least, I was favoring the side of keeping them together, as their partnership was a big part of what made them the characters they were. So, I left it up to a poll, and the people have spoken.

My answer is . . . 

NO

Both duos will remain together as partners instead of being separated as echoes. Thanks for reading! Next week, we have three more on the original list, then we have the new Mario movie and all characters to be pulled from that, plus a couple more I thought of in the last couple of weeks I want to add. Not sure what order I'll do them in at the moment.

Kat & Ana

The eighth/ninth and final developers Wario brought on board, definitely edging into illegal territory now, is a pair of kindergartners training to become ninjas, a set of twins with bright pink and red hair.

These are Kat and Ana. They attend the local Diamond City dojo and work daily to become the best ninja around, often being called upon to fight different oni who attack the shogun’s palace. Their microgames are often centered around nature and the plants and animals they love.

As fighters, they’ll probably be among the best of the crew. They will be fast and nimble, with keen strikes from their katana blades, acting as a duo like the Ice Climbers. Their moveset will pull from their framing stories, mixed with their nature-themed games.

Likelihood rating: Good possibility

Wario Ware: D.I.Y. Showcase

WARIO WARE: D.I.Y. SHOWCASE

So, today, we'll be starting the deluxe ports, pre-existing games re-released for new consoles with significantly noteworthy additions that make the second purchase worthwhile. This differs from the remakes we've previously covered as those games were mostly reconstructed from the ground up for a new generation, while these are mostly the same game, just adjusted a bit to suit the new system.

I'm not entirely sure this game really counts in that criteria, but I didn't initially realize it was an entirely separate game at first when I was covering the Wario Ware games, and it more or less fits this group. D.I.Y. Showcase was released as a supplement to D.I.Y. featuring some of the best microgames made during the initial games' run. The game also adds in a handful of minigames featuring the characters who stayed with Wario after the others went off to join a rival company. This includes a rally race starring Dribble and Spitz, a hang-gliding game starring Kat and Ana, and a shooter game starring 18-Volt.

That's about it! Here's what we've got so far:

Characters:

Mario: handstand, jump, crouch, spin, spin on bar, hammer, spring, key, pick up and throw, giant, float, fly

Luigi: invisible

Wario: metal, Wario Man

Yoshi: fire breath, tongue

Donkey Kong: punch, barrel, stomp, jack, grow giant, throw enemies

Character Sheet: Kat & Ana (Wario Ware)

KAT & ANA

Let's begin our character sheets for our Wario Ware characters. Although it felt a little touch and go there, with most gameplay not being tied to the characters themselves, each one did do enough across the nine games to warrant their inclusion, with the only one I really had to fudge a little being Mike. (At that point, with everyone else in, it just felt a little wrong to leave him out). Either way, here they are:

1. Wario
2. Biker Wario
3. Mona
4. Jimmy T.
5. Ashley & Red
6. 9-Volt
7. 18-Volt
8. 5-Volt
9. Kat and Ana
10. Young Cricket
10e. Master Mantis
11. Dribble & Spitz
12. Dr. Crygor
12e. Penny Crygor
13. Mike
14. Orbulon
15. Lulu

Kat and Ana are a pair of kindergarten-age ninjas determined to become master ninjas in the craft. Their stories tend to be the most action-oriented, with most of them involving them fighting a demon of some variety. They are also frequently joined by their pets Shuriken the Falcon, Shadow the Dog, and Numchuk the monkey. They are frequently seen wielding katanas, shurikens, and other stereotypical ninja items as weapons.

In Mega Microgames, the story sees Kat rushing to save her sister and a young prince from a demon named Boneheads. In Twisted, Kat accidentally angers a swarm of bees that chase them into a troll's lair. In Touched, they chase after Numchuk after he steals their bananas. Smooth Moves sees them defending their dojo from another demon, utilizing the powers of shadow clones and transformation in the process. In D.I.Y., they fly using capes, and in Game & Wario, they host a patchwork game. Finally, in Gold they enter an eating competition thinking it's a ninja test. Most of their microgames tend to be nature-based involving animals and plants of various kinds, as one can often see with their multitude of pets.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Ninja Star (Called such to avoid confusion with the later Up B)
Kat and Ana will throw shurikens in quick succession one after another as small projectiles. With the pair together, they will each throw one in succession, much as it works with the Ice Climbers, but if Ana has been KO'ed, then it will just be the one shuriken.

Side B: Beehive
This one is based largely on their Twisted story, with Kat batting a large beehive toward the opponents with a stick, which will then burst open and the bees will spill out and swarm the players.

Up B: Shuriken
Specifically referring to Shuriken the Falcon. Shuriken will appear and carry the girls high into the air, dropping them at which point they will pull out their capes from D.I.Y. and float gently to the ground. With Ana KO'd, Shuriken will fly slightly higher.

Down B: Transformation
This one is a counter move, with the girls using a slight clone jutsu to make duplicates of themselves. If hit, a puff of smoke will appear and Shadow and Numchuk will take the girls' places, attacking the opponent that hit them.

Final Smash: Katana!
Basically, their assist trophy from brawl. The two will shout "Katana!," high five each other, and then dash multiple times across the stage, slashing with their katanas as they do.

Entrance: A rice-paper curtain will appear and their shadows will appear behind it before it is moved aside.

Taunts: high-fiving each other, Ana sniffing a flower while Kat pokes her stick into a beehive, making patchwork and showing each other.

Thanks for reading! Next up, from two martial artists-in-training to one, it's Young Cricket!

Wario Ware: Gold

WARIO WARE: GOLD

And now, we come to the end of our run of Wario Ware games with Wario Ware: Gold, one of the last games release for the 3DS. The game's story revolves around Wario stealing a powerful treasure (toilet) from a distant village and holding a tournament with the treasure as the grand prize, only for a young girl named Lulu to strike out on a quest to get it back. Most of our crew returns, with full voice acting for all of them this time.

Wario's games are all the basic beginner stuff to get you used to the game, including holding a door, dodging a spotlight, stomping a Goomba, focusing a camera, pumping iron, pulling his mouth to catch stuff, slicing fruits, and stirring coffee. At the end of the game, he faces off with Lulu as the final boss, placing the treasure (toilet) on his head which somehow gives him superpowers (I don't want to know what that village had been eating). He then floats, throws lightning, and takes off in a balloon throne.

Jimmy's story involves a cat getting into his afro, prompting a bunch of girls to want to take pictures with him. His games are all sports-related, as is common, including fencing, shooting hoops, bouncing a ball, doing squats, lifting weights, jumping hurdles, passing a baton, jumping rope, and making a goal.

Mona's story sees her shopping for a dress to wear to a party that she later invites Gelato Joe to. Her game's are all called "That's Life" which honestly seems a better descriptor than "Strange." They include covering a cat with an umbrella, picking a nose, avoiding another pedestrian, pouring hot water, squirting ketchup, counting moles, finding a bathroom stall, catching a cookie, squirting eyedrops, and hammering a nail.

Dribble and Spitz's story sees them driving their taxi through outer space after dropping off a passenger getting attacked by flying saucers. They fend them off using their octobazooka. Their games are all "fantasy"-themed, including finding treasure, avoiding meteors, beating an octopus, hopping from clouds, steering a leaf, and sidestepping arrows.

9-Volt's mother 5-Volt gets her own set of games this time around. Her story features her watching an infomercial about a new frying pan and learning the workout needed to lift the thing, resulting in her gaining super strength. Her games are much like her son's, all being based around Nintendo games. These include Donkey Kong Country, Balloon Fight, Super Mario Kart, Mario Clash, Ocarina of Time, Ice Climber, Kid Icarus, Yoshi's Island, Super Mario Land, and Fire Emblem.

The game is divided into three groups, the Mash League, the Twist League, and the Touch League. While Mona, Jimmy, Dribble and Spitz, and 5-Volt were part of the Mash League, the next group lead the Twist League. Ashley's story features her summoning a starving demon, deducing it is the work of the demon Hum Gree, and entering her book to fight and defeat him. Her games are also "fantasy" like Dribble and Spitz, including sliding the moon, shaving the Earth, catching a butterfly, disarming an opponent, reflecting light, lighting a candle, running from a monster, and lowering a bridge.

Dr. Crygor's story sees him and Mike wandering through the woods in search of mushroom when they are attacked by a disgruntled maid robot named Doris 1. Crygor covers the sports games just like Jimmy, including arm wrestling, golfing, hula dancing, synchronized swimming, skiing, rock climbing, surfing, and shooting a watermelon.

In 18-Volt's story, he comes across a bully named 13-Amp and challenges her to a rap battle. His games are also Nintendo-related, including Super Mario World, Wind Waker, Donkey Kong Jr., Metroid, Golf, Super Mario Sunshine, Pikmin, Stack-Up, Dr. Mario, Super Metroid, Animal Crossing, and Super Mario Bros.

Penny's story sees her creating a "tonally transformative elixir" to give herself the voice of a pop star and trying it on her grandfather, resulting in him getting a stomachache. She covers the "That's Life" games, including shaving a beard, playing violin, trimming pigtails, balancing a ruler, extracting a tooth, sweeping leaves, sharpening a pencil, sewing, squeezing toothpaste, and tuning the radio.

Kat and Ana start off the Touch League with the "That's Life" category. Their story sees them going to take the test to get their Ninja learner's permits, but getting confused and entering an eating challenge instead. Their games include dragging a paper clip, unrolling toilet paper, tracing a kanji, poking birds, playing piano, threading a needle, ironing clothes, and grating a carrot.

9-Volt covers the Nintendo category of course, his story featuring him and his pet Fronk realizing he can do math if he thinks of it like an RPG. His games include Mii Maker, Donkey Kong, Nintendogs, Excitebike, just Cheep Cheeps, Wrecking Crew, Link Between Worlds, Amiibo, and finding the stylus.

Young Cricket covers the Sports category, with Cricket and Master Mantis visiting an amusement park to "train" themselves on the rides. His games include passing a ball, skiing, curling, doing situps, taking off clothes, riding a horse, doing a chin-up, swimming, and bowling.

Orbulon covers the fantasy games, and his story features him becoming obsessed with a fast food chain's hamburgers and ordering them until they run out. Wanting to help, he goes an abducts a bunch of pigs from a farm so that they will have enough "ham" to make the burgers, only to discover his mistake and keep the pigs as friends. (Have I mentioned, I really like the characters in this series. They're great.) Anyway, his game include throwing shurikens, spotting a ghost, tickling a pig, watering a flower, inflating a camel, and finding a thief.

At the end of the game, you have two Ultra League sets, with Mona, Penny, and Kat and Ana of the "That's Life" sets, and Jimmy, Dr. Crygor, and Young Cricket of the Sports sets, all dancing in a nightclub as you play through a mix of their games; and 9-Volt, 18-Volt, and 5-Volt of the Nintendo sets and Ashley, Dribble and Spitz, and Orbulon of the Fantasy sets having pot-luck picnic with each other. Mike and Fronk act sort of like the hosts of these games.

Finally, I must talk about Lulu. Obviously everything Wario can do with the toilet on his head could probably be attributed to Lulu as she comes from the village the treasure is from so could probably use it if she wants to. She is also shown using a squirt-gun, the Hydrocannon LX, and arrows against Wario, twisting to remove his crown, and floating on a balloon. She also makes friends with a dog, Ruffington, and takes a nap on him, and forces Young Cricket into a piggyback ride, but I don't know how much those things translate to Smash gaming.

The stages present in the game include Luxeville, where the toilet was stolen from, Diamond City Stadium, the farthest edge of space, Ashley's mansion, the agate forest, Penny's lab, the Diamond City Castle, Diamond City Elementary, Club Joe, and Diamond City Amusement Park.

Thanks for reading! Next up, let's get started on our character sheet. Except for Wario, I think they should all be new!

Game & Wario

GAME & WARIO

Game & Wario is a "kind-of" Wario Ware game, in that it stars all the Wario Ware characters, and is ostensibly part of the series, but it's gameplay is very different. Rather than the microgames that the series was known for, this one featured a bunch of Game & Watch style games, simple games that don't take too much complexity, but that can be played for quite a while. On the plus side, this is probably the one that's going to give characters the most for their own moveset potential outside of the microgames.

Wario's story features him learning about the new Wii U console on the TV and deciding to make his own money off of it by making games. Wario's first game is Arrow, inspired by him chasing a mouse and trying to shoot it with a bow and arrow. The game itself involves shooting arrows at a bunch of targets and enemies while avoiding cannonballs. At the end you fight a boss called Mecha Wario. His second match is Pirates, where he dresses up as a pirate. The game involves him directing pirate ships to shoot at you, while you have to move around to block the attacks.

In Mona's game, she is working as a photographer for a newspaper, her game Shutter being similar to games like Pokemon Snap, where you gave to get a good picture of specific targets. Jimmy's story involves him skiing down the hill. That's pretty much it. Kat and Ana's game, Patchwork, involves them using their katanas to cut fabric and make crafts with them, you mostly doing the same.

Young Cricket and Master Mantis's game, Kung Fu, features them training, Cricket having to cross a series of obstacle courses by jumping really high, in order to reach his master and have some dumplings. He could also lunge downward really fast, kind of like Sonic or Zero-Suit Samus's moves. 9-Volt's game, Gamer, is probably the most famous game out of all of this, having been the influence for a genuinely great Smash stage. He is playing Balloon Fighter late into the night, but has to watch for his mom 5-Volt, who will get very angry if she catches him.

Dr. Crygor's story sees him getting stuck to his toilet and sucked down the drain. His game, Design, has you drawing lines and shapes, eventually assembling a robot with them. Ashley's story sees her trying to transport herself into a picture full of monster, but accidentally sending herself into a candy world instead. Her game is then her riding Red as a broom, trying to escape as a flying shooter game.

Dribble and Spitz's game, Taxi, sees them driving around a small course while alien spacecraft are abducting citizens. Dribble drives around, while Spitz shoots lasers at the ships trying to take them down. A level at the end features all the characters coming together to go bowling. Another features a Pyoro bird trying to catch falling beans.

Now we come to the multiplayer games. Orbulon's sketch game is basically pictionary. Penny Crygor's Fruit sees one player acting as a thief, while the other players have to identify who the thief is. The Fronks get their own game this time, seeing them being catapulted from island to island for points. Finally, Mike's Disco game is a rhythm game, where the second player has to match the first's rhythm.

Once again, the game is set in Diamond City, with locations including Wario's House, Dr. Crygor's Lab, Toy Express, Club Sugar, and the Diamond City Times, among others. Each of the minigames could possibly function as stages as exemplified by Gamer.

Thanks for reading! Next up, let's cover the final game in the series so far: Wario Ware Gold!

Wario Ware: D.I.Y.

WARIO WARE: D.I.Y.

It's kinda funny that, when this game first debuted, the acronym D.I.Y. seemed clunky and forced, but now, years later, with the popularity of a bunch of home-and-garden shows all over the place, the term D.I.Y. feels entirely common place. Isn't it fun how that works?

Anyway, Wario Ware: D.I.Y. is a Mario Maker style game that lets you the player create your own Wario Ware microgames rather than the characters. The in-game reason for this is that most of Wario's employees got fed up with Wario's antics and left for a game company that actually pays them (good for them). As a result, Wario got Dr. Crygor and Penny, two of his last remaining employees, to use their Super MakerMatic 2.0 so that the players themselves will make all the games for him.

So, it's kinda difficult to quantify this one, as the bulk of the game would mostly be attributed to the player and not any of the characters, though I suppose the Crygors could take some credit for them, it being their machine and all. The core mechanics of making the games yourself include arranging music, choosing a background, actors to be part of it, write a script, and then paint or stamp items. Wario, Penny, Dr. Crygor, Master Mantis, and Young Cricket mostly act as instructors in various parts of all this. Wario Man does appear, and have his own set of games while he tries to pull bathroom doors open. His games include looting treasure, spitting out garlic, bouncing a ball, dodging traffic, bouncing on his belly, and avoiding bombs.

Those that left for Diamond Software do have their own game sets, being games they made for Diamond. Mona's is set in a remote jungle, where she and Gelato Joe enter a lost temple and explore it. Her's are all "Strange" as they have been before, including smashing cans, breaking bricks, picking a nose, squirting eyedrops, rolling dices, and landing safely from a balloon.

Jimmy's story involves him teaching an aerobics program. His games are all sports related, including using a baseball bat, making a goal, playing golf and ping pong, bowling, jogging, jumping hurdles, playing volleyball, and playing billiards.

Ashley and Red are filming a movie in a forest outside the mansion. Their games are all food-related, including eating popsicles, picking vegetables, frying an egg, milking a cow, shooting grapes, squirting ketchup, and making a sandwich.

Orbulon's story involves his ship getting struck by lightning, leading to him getting stuck in a rocket about to be launched into space. His games are all I.Q. based requiring you to use your brain a bit more than the others, including remembering a certain order, paying a certain amount, matching up shapes, choosing the right path, playing rock-paper-scissors, and arranging numbers.

9-Volt's story is just him playing through a video game, while his games are all Nintendo related. These include Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, Starfox, Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, Ice Climber, Yoshi's Island, and Pikmin.

Like Wario Man, Dribble and Spitz, Kat and Ana, and 18-Volt don't technically appear in this game, but in the companion game D.I.Y. Showcase, but I'll cover them here anyway. Dribble and Spitz are competing in a taxi rally competition, with all their games being sci-fi themed. These include assembling a robot, aiming a cannon, protecting the moon, and firing missiles at a spaceship.

Kat and Ana's story involves them soaring through the sky on large hang-gliding capes accompanied by birds. Their games are all nature-themed, finding fish, eating bugs, matching up animals, crossing a river, feeding birds, and grabbing fireflies.

18-Volt's game involves him shooting at Fronks for a high score. His games are also Nintendo-themed, including Mario Bros., Advance Wars, Duck Hunt, Super Mario Kart, Wrecking Crew, Super Mario World, Punch-Out, Donkey Kong Country, Wild Gunman, and Super Mario Advance.

The locations in the game are the standard locations around Diamond City, although some based around the characters' respective games. These include Dr. Crygor's Lab, Temple Explorer, Aerobics Studio, Ashley's Mansion, the Mask Boutique, and Soaring Heights. Of course, a stage based around the Super MakerMatic, similar in vein to the Mario Maker stage, would not go amiss.

So here's what we've got so far:

Thanks for reading! Next up, let's cover Game & Wario!

Wario Ware: Snapped!

WARIO WARE: SNAPPED!

This one won't take me as long. Wario Ware: Snapped! was a small DSiWare game that is basically just a quick little mini version of the regular Wario Ware games mostly using the DS's camera function. The whole game takes place at an amusement park and only Wario, Mona, Jimmy T., and Kat and Ana appear in it.

Wario's games require big movements, including shaking to dry off a dog, sticking your head in a hole, grabbing coins, and pouring water by tilting your head. Mona's games require you to align your body with objects on the screen, including wearing a hat and glasses, eating bread, swatting flies, and getting kissed. Jimmy's games place you in different poses to take snapshots of you for the end, including giving a massage, waving goodbye, playing peekaboo, wearing a ring, and blowing into the microphone. Kat and Ana's games are two-player, requiring you to get cheek to cheek, stack their heads like a totem pole, smash a stone, and wipe the screen.

So here's what we've got so far:

Characters:
Wario: ride motorcycle, work out, trampoline, Tiny Wario, chase with broom, Anything Goes, picking nose, punching, rocket, become Wario Man, shave, eat, stomp, kiss, DS, dentist, eat junk, bad garlic, pop balloons, poke cats, swat flies, chisel statue, form baton, tiny Warios, sautee, shoo flies, giant fan, clear air, sort, parry, yank tablecloth, shake, grab coins, pour water
Wario Man: fly, giant mech, fly to treasure, grab money, avoid poop, strength, speed, punch Mario
Jimmy T.: disco dance, cell phone, sports, remix, unicycle, golf, jump rope, ski, hurdles, basketball, catch, goalie, skateboard, trampoline, boxing, medicine ball, swim, volleyball, snowboarding, gymnastics, big spins, scrubbing a plate, basketball, catching bugs, sit up, camera, stairs, spotlight, scratch his fro, erase chalkboard, pet dog, tickle, rock out, clean window, waves, cats, massage, wave, peek-a-boo, wear ring, blow

Thanks for reading! Next up, let's cover Wario Ware: D.I.Y.!

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.

Thanks for reading! Next up, let's cover the series's next title, Wario Ware: Smooth Moves!

Wario Ware: Touched!

WARIO WARE: TOUCHED!

Wario Ware: Touched! is the fourth game in the Wario Ware series built on the gimmick of the DS's touch screen. It is also notable for introducing one of the series' most popular characters, the young witch Ashley. The game follows the standard formula of each character having their own framing story with an assortment of microgames attached.

Wario's main story starts with him dropping a Game Boy Advance into a sewer, only for it to be retrieved by an angelic sewer guru alongside a DS, prompting Wario to make the new game. Then his own framing story involves him getting cavities and having to go to the dentist, only to eat junk immediately after and have to go back. This story's games act as a tutorial level, demonstrating the general principles of the gameplay, popping balloons, poking cats, swatting flies, and chiseling rock into a statue with the stylus. In the ending story, he eats some REALLY bad garlic that somehow turns him into Wario Man, giving him enhanced strength, speed, and flying powers. His games are a grand mix of all of them. One I like is a game where he gets to punch out Mario.

In Mona's story, she and her band, Art and Decko, have become a #1 hit, ousting the previous superstar Vanessa from the top spot. On her way to a gig, Vanessa attacks with a hawk mech. Mona, her animal friends and her bandmates all work to fight them off. All of her games require dragging the stylus across the screen, such as slicing fruit, pulling party poppers, and unraveling toilet paper.

Jimmy T's story involves him dancing with his parents again, as well as his brother James and sister Jamie, until a bug crawls into his afro and he has to scratch to get it out. All of his games involve rubbing quickly on the screen with the stylus. These include erasing a chalkboard, petting a dog, tickling an opponent, rocking out, cleaning a window, and waving goodbye. His family all run the remixes.

Kat and Ana's story involves them tracking down a banana thief with their dog and falcon, only to find that the thief was a monkey they name Numchuck. Their games all involve drawing or scribbling in some way. These include squeezing out a packet of ketchup, hooking up a couple, painting nails, connecting the dots, drawing a mustache, tracing Japanese kanji, and threading a needle.

Ashley is a brand new character to the series, a young witch who lives in a haunted mansion with her devil companion Red. In their story, they are brewing a potion and end up ruining it, before coming across Orbulon, who Ashley realizes is the missing ingredient and red tries to catch him. Their games involve dragging things across the screen. This includes lighting candles, putting a corral around sheep, causing a sneeze, extinguishing a fire, striking a match, catching fish with a net, and firing lasers.

Doctor Crygor's story involves him using a new invention to restore an apple core back to a full apple, before hopping into it himself and accidentally becoming half-apple. His games all involve drawing a circle in some way, including spinning a wheel, reeling in a fishing line, rolling a snowball, tuning a radio, setting a clock, throwing a shot putt, and eating a donut.

Mike is another new character, a karaoke robot built by Doctor Crygor. He is set to do chores initially, including blowing away dust in the lab, before he flies off to host a karaoke competition on the alien bunny planet. His games all involve blowing into the DS's microphone in some way, including sweet talking, spinning a pinwheel, blowing bubbles, inflating a balloon, and spreading a dandelion.

9-Volt and 18-Volt's story involves them buying a brand-new game and then going home to play it late into the night. His games are based on old Nintendo games, as per usual, this time including Super Mario Bros., Zelda II, Metroid, Game & Watch's juggling game and oil panic, Duck Hunt, Space Invaders, and Hogan's Alley.

Orbulon, Dribble, and Spitz all appear in the game, but they do not have stories this time, Ashley and Mike taking up their slots. Orbulon crash-lands and is chased by Ashley and Red, and Dribble and Spitz pick up Mike for Dr. Crygor in their taxi. Ken the Reporter and Gelato Joe appear as well.

The game's locations include the standard Diamond City layout, with Wario's house, the Dental clinic, a restaurant called the Sweet Spot, Mona's gig location The Hawt House, Club Sugar, Diamond Broadcasting System, Mona Pizza, Dr. Crygor's lab, Kat and Ana's house, Ashley's mansion, and the Toy Express toy store.

Thanks for reading! Next up, let's cover the series's next title, Wario Ware: Smooth Moves!

Wario Ware: Twisted!

WARIO WARE: TWISTED!

Wario Ware: Twisted! is the third game in the Wario Ware series, designed specifically for the gimmicks of the Game Boy Advanced, with most games centering on being able to turn the game in some way. All ten cast members from the previous games, with Wario gaining a new form in Wario Man, 9-Volt gaining a new best friend in 18-Volt, and Jimmy being joined by his mother and father on the dance floor.

Wario has two framing stories, one at the beginning and one at the end. In the first, he chases around a rat and ends up getting shrunken and multiplied inside a watch. In the ending frame story, he ends up inside one of Doctor Crygor's machines that then turns him into Wario Man. As Wario Man, he can fly and is generally stronger. He then jumps back into the machine and turns it into a rocket that then launches itself into the sky before being shot down by one of Orbulon's ships. His games in both tend to be a wide, general mix of games to first get you used to them and second to give you a big final test. Some of these include shaving, eating, stomping, kissing, flying to treasure, grabbing money, dodging poop, and so on.

Mona's story features her driving on her moped to deliver a pizza, while a rival pizza company, Pizza Dinosaur, tries to sabotage her by attacking her with a giant dinosaur. Her monkey, pig, and elephant all return using their same attacks to take out the dinosaur. Her games all revolve spinning the game console just slightly, including spinning a pizza to appy toppings, aiming a dodge ball, turning a cake to blow out its candles, balancing an umbrella, ironing a shirt, avoiding meteors, and flying her paper airplane.

Jimmy T. is back at it disco dancing once again, accompanied this time by his parents. They also spend a bunch of time messing with their new cellphones. His games are all based around spinning the console a lot. These include dunking a basketball, scrubbing a plate, catching a butterfly, doing a sit up, focusing a camera, climb stairs, and shine a spotlight on him or his parents. His parents also cover the remix levels for him.

Kat and Ana's framing story involves them going on a field trip with their dog and falcon. Kat accidentally disturbs a beehive, leading them to being chased into a cave and being confronted by a troll. Their games all involve simply tapping the A button. These include running from the bees, doing the wave, popping a bubble, punching a water droplet, popping a balloon, skewering kebabs, and picking noses.

During Dribble and Spitz's story, they drive their taxi down the interstate before it breaks down. After fixing it up, the taxi becomes rocket-powered and launches them into space, where they pick up an alien passenger and take him to Club Sugar. Their games are all based around both spinning your device and pressing A, a mix of the previous games. These include adjusting the radio, eating watermelon, pounding a nail, riding a ferris wheel, pounding drums, playing whack-a-mole, and taking a picture.

Doctor Crygor's story involves him creating a new invention called the gravitator, which then spews soap bubbles and traps him inside. Later he turns it into a flying mech and flies around inside of it. His games involve tipping the system, affecting the gravity, if you will. Some of these games involve sliding a cup, shaking out ice cream, dropping a ball, removing a key, lighting a candle, and pouring water.

Orbulon's story features him falling asleep while flying his ship, waking up to find himself being sucked into a black hole. He has to pilot the ship away from the hole only to be eaten by a living planet and spat back out to Earth. His games all feature extra time, requiring you to take your time to do them correctly. These games include unscrambling items, avoiding popping a bubble, filling a cup adequately, identifying items, cutting exact slices, remembering a card, following a path, and lowering and raising bridges to let people pass.

9-Volt's story involves him meeting 18-Volt, who is either a very large elementary student or a teenager who's been held back a lot. They bond over their shared tastes in music and games and return to 9-Volt's house for a jam session. As before, 9-Volt's games are all based on Nintendo games, including Metroid, Super Mario Bros. 3, Wrecking Crew, Tennis, Donkey Kong Jr., Excitebike, Kid Icarus, Baseball, Clu Clu Land, Ice Hockey, Mach Rider, Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong Country 3, and Super Mario Bros.

Mona's boss Joe and Ken the Reporter also appear in the game, as well as 9-Volt's mother, 5-Volt.

The game's locations are all standard locations around Diamond City, including Wario's house, Club Sugar, Mona Pizza, Diamond Knoll, Interstate 310, Doctor Crygor's lab, Diamond City Elementary, 9-Volt's house, and Diamond City Broadcasting.
