'''''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''''' is the fifth game in the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series, released as a launch title for the [[Wii]] initially in Japan on December 2, 2006. The game showcases and takes full advantage of the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] and its motion sensor, as microgames are played by placing the controller in numerous positions, called "Forms" by the game, which often invites the player to perform odd actions. All major characters from the previous games return, while [[Young Cricket and Master Mantis|Young Cricket, Master Mantis]], and [[Penny|Penny Crygor]] debut. Alongside the microgames and some longer minigames, the game includes a multiplayer mode with several subgames. This was the first ''WarioWare'' game to receive an E10+ rating from the ESRB. With the other games being [[WarioWare Gold]] and WarioWare Get it Together!

She fires the spell at a second potted plant, which very quickly grows into a monstrous plant that grows so large, it breaks through the walls and roof of the mansion. As Red cowers in fear, Ashley gives a little smile.

| colspan=3 |'''Orbulon's Story:'''<br>Orbulon is flying his [[Orbulon's Oinker|Oinker]] in Outer Space when a [[Balance Stone]] suddenly comes rocketing at him, hitting his ship and causing him to crash into the  [[Temple of Form]]. Inside the temple, he is flung out of his ship and lands right in front of the Balance Stone and the Form Baton. When he picks up both of the objects, the temple suddenly emerges from the ground and starts floating. Orbulon panics but notices some writing on the wall that explains how to use the Form Baton and Balance Stone. Afterwards, he takes control of the temple and brings it to space. Once in space, he claims it for himself, but the Splunks, still inside the temple, tell him to give it back, and as they fight Orbulon, the temple crashes back on the ground. Orbulon and his Oinker are soon jettisoned back into space.

As with previous ''WarioWare'' titles, ''Smooth Moves'' is structured around completing short, simple tasks (dubbed "[[microgame]]s"), which increase in speed and difficulty as the player progresses. The various microgames are divided into sets hosted by a ''WarioWare'' character. Unlike previous ''WarioWare'' games, most of the character sets do not have a clear differentiation in theme or control method, apart from ways to hold the {{button|wii|Wiimote}} (dubbed "[[form]]s") being progressively introduced.

Most microgames solely use motion controls, though an handful of games require pressing {{Button|wii|A}} and one set uses the {{button|wii|Wiimote}} + Nunchuck combo. Before each microgame, a "form card" appears briefly to show the player how to hold the {{button|wii|Wiimote}}.

In the game, the micro-games use different variations of holding the Wii Remote, called Forms. These positions are the following:

*'''The Big Cheese''' &ndash; The hands are held at the hips, with the Wii Remote in the dominant hand

*'''The Boxer''' &ndash; The Wii Remote is held horizontally from above in the dominant hand, buttons facing up

*'''The Chauffeur''' &ndash; The Wii Remote is held by both ends horizontally, buttons facing the player

*'''The Diner (A)''' &ndash; The Wii Remote and Nunchuk are held with the tops facing up

*'''The Diner (B)''' &ndash; The Wii Remote and Nunchuk are held with the tops facing the screen

*'''The Diner (C)''' &ndash; The Wii Remote and Nunchuk are held with the tops facing each other

*'''The Discard''' &ndash; The Wii Remote is placed face-down, only to be picked up when suggested by the game

*'''The Dumbbell''' &ndash; The Wii Remote is held horizontally from underneath in the dominant hand, buttons facing up

*'''The Elephant''' &ndash; The Wii Remote is held in both hands up to the nose

*'''The Finger Food''' &ndash; The Wii Remote is held from the base by the thumb and index finger of the dominant hand

*'''The Handlebar''' &ndash; The Wii Remote is held horizontally from above with both hands, buttons facing up

*'''The Janitor''' &ndash; The Wii Remote is held vertically with both hands

*'''The Mohawk''' &ndash; The Wii Remote is held with both hands, atop the head

*'''The Mortar and Pestle''' &ndash; The Wii Remote is held with the dominant hand, with the base resting in the non-dominant hand

*'''The Remote Control''' &ndash; The Wii Remote is held with the dominant hand facing the screen, with the thumb resting on the {{button|wii|A}}

*'''The Samurai''' &ndash; The Wii Remote is held by both hands to one side of the body, to be moved by the dominant hand

*'''The Sketch Artist''' &ndash; The Wii Remote is held with the thumb and index finger by the middle

*'''The Thumb Wrestler''' &ndash; The Wii Remote is held in the dominant hand near the top, thumb resting over the sensor

*'''The Tug-of-War''' &ndash; The Wii Remote is held by both hands, with the top facing the screen

*'''The Umbrella''' &ndash; The Wii Remote is held by the dominant hand vertically, thumb resting on the {{button|wii|A}}

*'''The Waiter''' &ndash; The Wii Remote rests in the dominant hand, face-up

The game features 205 microgames in total, all of which have three difficulty levels and various speed settings. The microgames are divided by characters, which host a varying number of microgames each. One game, [[Bungii!]], is not tied to any specific set and has a chance of appearing in any stage after they've been beaten once.

Alongside the single-player minigames are a set of games meant specifically for multiplayer. These games are unlocked naturally as the game progresses. Some of them are based around playing sets of microgames (besides boss microgames and [[Orbulon]]'s microgames), while others are separate minigames.

{| border="1" style="text-align:center" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=1

|[[File:WarioWareSM Lifeline.png|170px]]

|'''[[Lifeline]]'''

|Players compete for points by trying to win microgames. Winning the microgame gains points (dependent on how much the microgame was worth) while losing it gains nothing.

|-

|[[File:WarioWareSM Balloon.png|170px]]

|'''[[Balloon (minigame)|Balloon]]'''

|At the beginning of the round, the first player gets a chance to fill a balloon with air. Afterwards, they play a microgame, while the other players fill it with air.

|-

|[[File:SmoothMovesBomb.png|170px|]]

|'''[[Bomb (minigame)|Bomb]]'''

|A player is randomly chosen to play a microgame. If they win, they choose another player and what form their microgame will use. Repeating a certain form will increase its difficulty. If a player loses a microgame or if they take too long to choose someone, they lose and the other players win.

|-

|[[File:SmoothMovesBungeeBuddies.png|170px]]

|'''[[Star Nose]]'''

|Two players pilot a nose-shaped spaceship using a connecting Wii Remote and Nunchuk. They gain speed by eating food scattered along the way. Whoever makes it to the end first or doesn't crash wins, at which point they place themselves on the nose of a couple.

|-

|[[File:SmoothMovesDarts.png|170px]]

|'''[[Darts]]'''

|image1=OdoruMiW Shotoku-taishi.png

*Out of the 19 forms featured in the game, 13 were adapted for the international versions. In most cases, elements from Japanese culture or history were replaced with more global or Western concepts. Consequently, the artwork used for their respective form explanations was also either edited or completely remade. The complete list can be found [[Form Baton#Forms|here]].

*The form explanation background music was changed in localization, and so was the narration style. Whilst the Japanese version uses traditional Japanese ambient music with a stoic narration (probably for comic purposes), the international versions adapted it using relaxing music, with a deep-voiced narrator explaining the moves, often using comic terms to contrast with the serious tone of the narrator.

*In the Japanese and Korean versions, before each microgame, the form being used for the microgame is said by the narrator. This was cut in the American and European versions.

*In the Japanese version, the microgame speed-increase prompt says "Speed Up!", while in the English version, it says "Faster!", similar to ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]''

*In [[Produce Stand-Off]], the international versions changed the color of the suit the enemy wears for all three levels. In addition, the Korean version changed the weapon that the player and enemy carries from swords to wooden sticks.  

*The Korean version of [[Cold Call]] changed the people who pick up the phone from Japanese medieval nobles to Korean medieval nobles.

*Level 2 of [[Teeth Polithe]] ends with the old woman biting a corn cob, which is originally a ''{{wp|senbei}}''. The background and her clothes were both redesigned, from traditional Japanese clothing to, respectively, a beach and a pink jacket and visor.

*In most international versions of [[Bell Captain]] the player hits the bell with a mallet, which replaces the suspended wooden beam from the Japanese game. The Korean version keeps the beam but changes the background to a red gate in front of the night sky.  

*[[Super Nostalgic Entertainment System]] features a [[Family Computer|Famicom]] and Famicom games (''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''{{wp|Duck Hunt}}'', ''{{wp|Tennis (1984 video game)|Tennis}}'' and ''{{wp|Devil World}}'') in the Japanese and Korean versions, which were changed to a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and SNES games (''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Mario Paint]]'', ''[[Wario's Woods]]'', ''{{wp|Pilotwings}}'', and ''[[metroidwiki:Super Metroid|Super Metroid]]'') in other versions.

*With the release of the Korean version of ''Smooth Moves'', all the artworks of the Wii Remote (Form Baton) include a Wii Remote Jacket.<ref>[http://nintendo.co.kr/Wii/software/madeinwario/sub01.php Official Korean Website]</ref> All other versions of the game got artworks of Wii Remotes without protection jackets.

The idea for a ''WarioWare'' game on the Wii came shortly after ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s director, [[Goro Abe]], and producer, [[Yoshio Sakamoto]], first saw the Wii's controller.<ref name="Iwata Asks">[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/warioware_smooth_moves/0/0 Iwata Asks with Abe and Sakamoto]</ref><ref name="PGC">[http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/interview/11588 Interview between Planet Gamecube and Goro Abe]</ref> The game's development started with around twenty people, with others coming and going, but the number remained relatively consistent.<ref name="IGN">[http://wii.ign.com/articles/710/710610p1.html IGN: ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' Interview]</ref> From the start, multiplayer was a big aspect in the development of the game, and the idea was that one person would play the game while the others around them enjoyed the comical positions.<ref name="PGC"></ref><ref name="IGN"></ref> While teams working on other projects were worrying about how to fully utilize the Wii controller, Abe and Sakamoto had great optimism for the system, saying that "If you’ve got one of these Remotes, you can pretty much do anything".<ref name="Iwata Asks"></ref>

The various positions came into play when the development team realized that restricting the Wii controller's to one way limited the amount of entertainment, which led to the discussion of which positions would and wouldn't work.<ref name="PGC"></ref> Microgames were decided mostly by the developers writing down ideas, sending them to Abe, and having him pick out the ones he liked, after which they began to design the ones that were picked.<ref name="PGC"></ref> The developers and designers were often asked to create a unique design for the microgames, giving the desired effect of having a wacky environment.<ref name="PGC"></ref> Feedback about the previous ''WarioWare'' games and suggestions for improving them were looked into but were disregarded if they didn't fit with their idea.<ref name="PGC"></ref>

|align=left|"''I had a great time with Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, and you'll get a lot of value out of the game if you're the type that hosts parties or if you have a group of friends or family already that are enjoying games like Wii Sports or Rayman: Raving Rabbids together. There are some nice surprises in the package which I've tried to avoid spoiling, some particularly entertaining boss fights, and best of all, an excellent collection of games that can be played for longer than just a few seconds. If you've played previous Wario Ware games, then feel confident that while this may not be the best or most original entry in the series, it's still quite good. If you're new to micro-gaming, then be bold, take that first step, and don't look back. Hurry up, because it's my turn next.''"

*''"BWAHAHAHA!!! '''Waaaaario''' here! The other day, I found this crazy stick-thing in those old ruins. I just KNOW it's worth something! All I gotta do now is figure out how it works."''

*''"Letting the Form Baton fall is like letting a mohawk droop: shameful and forbidden."''

*''"This stance honors the CEO, unsung hero standing proud on the backs of his employees."''

*''"Like riding a bicycle, perfecting this stance requires grace, steadiness, and tight shorts."''

*''"Remember, cans are your mortal enemies!"''

 

The E3 2006 demo did not feature the Elephant [[form]] and some of the microgames featured different graphics and instructions.

 

The game was a coproduction between [[Intelligent System]] and [[Nintendo SPD|Nintendo SPD Group No.1]]. [[Goro Abe]] is the director and [[Yoshio Sakamoto]] is the producer, as with most ''WarioWare'' games. The game was [[Yoichi Kotabe]]'s last credited work as a full-time employee of [[Nintendo]] before he departed from the company.

*''[[Tetris]]'': Except for Bowser, all the characters from the Hard B mode of Tetris make a return doing various musical instruments in level 3 of this minigame. Of them, only Samus retains her instrument.

*''[[Wario's Woods]]'': The game's cartridge is one of the ones used in the microgame, Super Nostalgic Entertainment System.

*''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'': One of the microgames, called [[Super Mario Sunshine (microgame)|Super Mario Sunshine]], has the player extinguish a fire with Mario and [[F.L.U.D.D.]].

*''[[WarioWare Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'': The Balloon Bang multiplayer minigame returns in the form of Balloon. Balloon uses rearranged jingles and the same air pump sound as Balloon Bang.

*''[[WarioWare: Get It Together]]'': Mona's cheerleader baton and a football appears in her room during the intro of her story. The man from [[Wet Your Whistle]] and [[Boom Box (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Boom Box]] appears in [[Blended? Splendid!]] When the "Boss Stage" text appears in Jimmy T's stage, the five figures in the background do a dance from [[Wario Dance Company (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Wario Dance Company]].
