Medusa March
Medusa March is a Party Mode minigame in WarioWare: Move It! It involves players clearing microgames and moving forward to defeat Medusa while avoiding her gaze.
Gameplay[edit]
The players, as warriors, start a distance away from Medusa. They must move their Joy-Con to advance forward. Along the way, snakes appear, and the players clear a microgame to defeat them and keep moving. Failure to complete the microgame causes the snake to trap the player until the next snakes appear. At certain times, even during microgames, Medusa turns around and faces the players. The players must stop moving when this occurs (as stated by the "Freeze!" prompt appearing). If a player keeps moving while she is looking, Medusa will turn that player to stone; the first time this happens, a potion restores the player after Medusa looks away, and the second time it happens they are out of the game. When only one player remains in the game, snakes no longer appear, and the player is urged to hurry ahead. The game ends when a player makes it to the end and defeats Medusa to win the minigame, or when all players are turned to stone; in the latter case, no one wins the minigame.
On the results screen for this minigame, any player who was turned to stone has their character's icon grayed out and with a losing pose, regardless of position.

- The microgame Stony Look has a similar gimmick, though the player has to get to a car. Medusa even appears, albeit wearing a Wario nose-and-mustache mask.
