The '''Form Baton''' is a major object featured in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. It is an old [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] used as the controls for the entire game, with all in-game instructions using the term "Form Baton" to refer to the player's Wii Remote. The Form Baton also has a [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]] counterpart, known as the [[Balance Stone]], which is shown in [[Orbulon]]'s set of microgames. During the events of the game, [[Wario]] stumbles upon the Form Baton after crash-landing into the [[Temple of Form]]. He soon finds out that how one uses it depends on the way one holds it, in reference to how the player must hold the Form Baton in different positions to play the different types of microgames.

*None of [[Tiny Wario]]'s microgames use the Remote Control. Instead, some of Wario's microgames appear in Tiny Wario's stage.

*The Japanese form explanation includes a verse based on ''[[wikipedia:Awa Dance Festival#Song|Awa Yoshikono]]'', a song associated with the ''Awa Odori'' Festival in Japan.

}}

*The Korean version has a unique design for this form. The samurai in the artwork is replaced by a Joseon-style warrior, due to South Korean restrictions on Japanese cultural imports at that time.

}}

*The Spanish version of the form explanation states that this form is used as a "punishment for liars", a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pinocchio|Pinocchio]]''.

*The Korean version of the form explanation is a reference to the Korean nursery rhyme "Mr. Elephant" (코끼리 아저씨).

}}

*Penny's microgames are the only ones with the Mortar and Pestle.

}}

*The Diner is the only form with more than one version.

*Orbulon's microgames are the only ones with the Diner.

*The scene where Wario takes the Form Baton before getting chased by a boulder in the "Mysterious Form Baton Found!" stage is likely a reference to the well known scene from the movie, ''{{wp|Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark}}'', in which Indiana Jones takes the golden idol out of the Lost Temple and gets chased by a boulder, one of the temple's obstacles.

*In the Japanese version of form explanation text, the two words that would usually be spelled with {{wp|katakana}} due to being transcriptions of foreign words — リモコン ''rimokon'' (remote control) and ボタン ''botan'' (button) — are instead spelled using {{wp|ateji}} (that is, {{wp|kanji}} used for their pronunciation rather than meaning.) While the spelling of リモコン ''rimokon'' as 離母魂 ''rimokon'' has no meanings, the chosen spelling of ボタン ''botan'' as 牡丹 ''botan'' is derived from 牡丹 ''botan'', a name for the ''{{wp|Paeonia × suffruticosa}}'' cultivar of tree peonies.
