Editing Ashley (minigame)

[[File:GameWario AshleyTitleScreen.png|thumb|270px|Ashley title screen.]]

'''Ashley''' is a single-player [[minigame]] hosted by [[Ashley]] & [[Red (WarioWare series)|Red]] in ''[[Game & Wario]]''. The level theme songs are collectively titled '''Ashley's ☆ Revolution''' and feature arrangements of parts of [[Ashley's Theme]] in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]''

At [[Ashley's Mansion|her mansion]], Ashley reads a book and eventually comes across a page depicting monsters and a surreal landscape. The illustration catch her interest and she decides to cast a spell to be materialized inside the book page with Red's help. However, as she performs it with Red's wand form, a gust of wind turns the book to a page depicting desserts. Ashley & Red are then transported inside the dessert-themed page. Red is pleased by this development, but a furious Ashley orders him to transform into a broom in order to escape the dessert world.

The game is a horizontally-scrolling [[wikipedia:shoot 'em up|shoot 'em up]]. Movement is controlled by angling the {{button|wiiu|GamePad}} upward and downward. The objective is to progress through the levels while collecting purple magic orbs and presents, and shooting floating pastries with magic blasts. Collecting orbs and presents gives spell power, and collecting 100 spell power without missing any increases the multiplier, making each item worth more spell power. In addition to shooting magic blasts, Ashley can collect blue spell orbs, which when activated, destroy every enemy on-screen and collect all spell power present. A certain amount of spell power is needed in order to get "Best Buddy" ("Best Sidekick" in the PAL localization) status after completing a level, which rewards a [[File:GWA Cluck-A-Pop token.png|19px]] token for the [[Cluck-A-Pop]] if accomplished for the first time per level. In addition, once Best Buddy status has been achieved, a token will appear in the stage, and doing a loop around it will collect it.

 

Ashley can be hit an unlimited number of times, but being hit substracts spell power. If she is hit too many times in a row, poked on too many times via the {{button|wiiu|GamePad}} touchscreen or if too many loops are performed in a close timeframe, the scrolling stops and the player will have to pat her on the head via the GamePad's screen in order to continue. Spell power will be removed at a rate of 2 per second. If spell power reaches 0 points, the game ends. Ashley gets progressively angrier during these sequences. If it is the third time she needs to be comforted and the player fails to calm her quickly enough, she will shoot the screen, resulting in the loss of 100 spell power.

 

Collecting 100 orbs without missing any increases the multiplier for spell power. For example, collecting 100 orbs multiplies the value of all items by 2, while collecting 200 orbs multiplies the value by 3. This stops once the multiplier has reached 6.
