Foothold

Footholds in WarioWare Gold

Footholds in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!

Footholds are solid objects that appear in Pyoro, Pyoro 2, Bird, and Super Pyoro minigames. The first of these games appears in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, Bird & Beans and WarioWare Gold, the second is only in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! and Bird & Beans, the third is in Game & Wario, and the fourth is in WarioWare Gold. Footholds take up a row at the bottom of the playfield, being the ground that the player character Pyoro moves across.

The number of footholds varies in each minigame, even in reimplementations of the same minigame, as it is proportional to the width of the playfield. Pyoro in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! and WarioWare Gold has twenty footholds, as does Super Pyoro. Pyoro 2 has twenty footholds in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!. Pyoro and Pyoro 2 in Bird & Beans have thirty footholds. Bird has twelve footholds.

If a falling bean hits a foothold, the foothold is destroyed. Pyoro is not allowed to walk off of a foothold into a gap, meaning the center of every gap is an invisible wall for the bird. White beans, when eaten in most games or shot with seeds in Pyoro 2, summons a Tenshi that places a new foothold in the gap closest to Pyoro created by a foothold breaking. When a flashing bean is eaten in most games or shot with seeds in Pyoro 2, up to ten Tenshi appear to replace an equal number of footholds. In Super Pyoro, beans rising on beanstalks ignore footholds.

Seven footholds are present in the microgame Bird & Beans from WarioWare: D.I.Y. and WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase as the place Pyoro stands on. The beans in this microgame fall in such a way that they never land on the footholds.

In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, Bird & Beans, WarioWare: D.I.Y., and WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, footholds have a gray appearance. In WarioWare Gold footholds appear as ground with grass on top. In Game & Wario, footholds look like soil without grass on top.
