| Pirate is a rhythm game. The game consists of Captain Wario giving commands to pirates on his ship and other ships to attack the player. These commands vary between him saying "Center!", "Over!", "Left!" or "Right!", corresponding to the four ships' positions. The player must move the {{button|wiiu|GamePad}} in these directions as if they are using a shield to block the attacks. Occasionally, Captain Wario might shout out "Token!" when revisiting a stage that had been completed with a Perfect rank. Blocking the shot rewards a [[File:GWA Cluck-A-Pop token.png|17px]] [[Cluck-A-Pop]] coin. | | Pirate is a rhythm game.

| After the chosen song itself has concluded, a dance sequence follows prior to the conclusion of the overall stage. The player, who is assisted in part by [[Adventure King]] (named Admiral Venture in the European English version), must mimic the moves shown on screen by a humanoid [[Captain Wario (Game & Wario)|Captain Wario]] to build up power to charge up an energy ball. Once enough energy has been built up, the player must press the {{button|wiiu|ZL}} and {{button|wiiu|ZR}} buttons simultaneously with the rhythm to shoot the energy ball at Captain Wario and his crew. | | After the chosen song itself has concluded, a dance sequence follows prior to the conclusion of the overall stage.

| If the player manages to achieve an "A" rating in all four categories, they will score a "Perfect" which rewards a [[File:GWA Cluck-A-Pop token.png|17px]] Cluck-A-Pop coin.
