'''''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''''', known as '''''Odoru Made in Wario''''' (おどるメイド イン ワリオ ''Odoru Meido in Wario'', lit. "Dancing Made in Wario") in Japan, is the fifth game in the ''[[WarioWare]]'' series. It was released for the [[Wii]], in Europe on January 12, 2007 and in North America on January 15, 2007. This game takes full advantage of the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]].
}}
'''''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" in the game, which often invites the player to perform odd actions. All major characters from the previous games return, in addition to the new characters [[Young Cricket]], [[Master Mantis]], [[Penny|Penny Crygor]], and [[Jimmy P.]] 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. The game received a successor, ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'', which was released in November 2023 for [[Nintendo Switch]].


==Story==
==Story==
A long time ago, humanity was given a mysterious artifact known as the [[Form Baton]]. The ancients used this baton in their everyday lives in a large range of movement from rigorous activity to more nuanced actions. The [[Splunks]], a species that lived alongside the ancients, eventually kept the Form Baton in a [[Temple of Form|temple]] to retain its history.
==="Mysterious Form Baton Found!"===
One day, Wario was sitting at home eating a plate of cakes when a small, strange creature called a Splunk appeared from nowhere and stole them from right under his nose. Furious at the creature ruining his junk-food snack, Wario gave chase, which led him all the way to the Temple of Form, where he discovers the Form Baton. Picking up the strange item out of curiosity, Wario accidentally triggered a trap that the Temple probably used in case of a thief, and thus caused a menacing boulder to try and run over him.


Many years later, the temple remains in ruins amidst what is now known as [[Diamond City]]. [[Wario]] drives his [[Wario Bike|bike]] down the streets, contemplating the day.
During the game Wario was seen running from the boulder that was chasing him. Each time a mini-game was failed the boulder would get a little bit closer, and when all four of his garlic shaped health icons are gone, it would stampede him. However, if the player won a mini-game the boulder would be momentarily get stuck in a hole in a wall giving Wario the opportunity to get further ahead of it.

==Gameplay==
Luckily, Wario was fast enough to get out of the ruins. Wario started gloating about his treasure as soon as he caught his breath and admired it for as long as he wanted to.
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 Baton|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}} + Nunchuk combo. Before each microgame, a "form card" appears briefly to show the player how to hold the {{button|wii|Wiimote}}.
===Cheerleading to Victory===
Later, Mona is shown speeding down the roads of Diamond City, late for her new job as captain of the cheerleading squad for the Diamond City Roughs. And thinking that she was late for the big game, she drove her scooter straight into the stadium. Mona is then shown performing her routine, along with the other cheerleaders, which distracted one of the football players (who happened to be in love with Mona) for a moment.


Between each set, the player can select a map icon named "[[Temple of Form]]" to practice unlocked microgames, which are grouped by both microgame sets and forms. Unlike previous ''WarioWare'' games, the player cannot set scores for individual microgames as the session automatically ends after going through each difficulty level.
When there were only a few seconds left in the game, the player who is in love with Mona catches the ball and uses his love for her to motivate himself to barge pass three opposing players and score a touchdown. After the game, the player attempts to confess his love for Mona, but she rushes off before he can finish his sentence, leaving him to blurt it out in front of another cheerleader. The cheerleader then becomes very embarrassed from the sentence that the player inappropriately burst out with.
===Wii Remote Forms===
{{main|Form Baton}}
In the game, the microgames use different variations of holding the Wii Remote, called Forms. These positions are the following:

==Microgames==
===Evil Attacks Diamond Dojo!===
{{main|List of WarioWare: Smooth Moves microgames}}
A huge red monster with a spiked club known as the Elephant Ogre appears at Diamond Dojo and roars viciously. Kat and Ana dramatically run to the scene and split up. Ana goes inside the dojo to perform her ninjutsu style and turns into four turtles, which act as the levels' four lives.
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!]], can appear in two specific sets and only appears after a specific microgame in those stages.
 
===Microgame sets===
Ana runs into the sensei's room and finds a small red creature tugging on his hair. Outside, Kat uses clone powers and attacks the Elephant Ogre. In the middle of the battle the small creature yells and stops the fighting, as it was the Ogre's child. As the Ogre carries away its child Kat waves goodbye and says to not wander off. But right next to her the child responds saying "Never again"! Ana was mistaken for the child and taken away by the Ogre.
In addition to the stages played during the storyline, there is a handful of microgame mixes with special characteristics. None of these sets feature games from [[Orbulon]]'s set.

===Enter Young Cricket===

[[Young Cricket and Master Mantis]] are walking down a road when suddenly they realize they're hungry. They smell pork buns at a nearby stand with a long line. Young Cricket rudely runs across the top of everyone's head to get to the front.

When Young Cricket reaches the front he looks over his shoulder and notices all the people in line with a bump on their head glaring at him. He apologizes and runs back across everyone's already-bruised head and says he'll wait in line.

==Minigames==
===Feline Fever===
In addition to microgames, there are [[minigame]]s which can be unlocked by completing a certain stage in story mode. These minigames are extended versions of existing microgames (excluding [[Pyoro S]]).
[[Jimmy T.]] is walking down a rainy street with an umbrella when he sees a cat behind a trash can. He puts the umbrella beside the can to protect the cat from the weather. He continues walking when the cat starts walking next to him. More approach and Jimmy tries in vain to avoid them. He then gets the idea to start dancing and they go into Club Sugar.

==Multiplayer==
Afterwards the cats march out in line waving goodbye. As Jimmy watches the original cat touches his shoulder and hands him back the umbrella.
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. Players compete in these minigames as [[Mii]]s.
{{content description
|image1=[[File:WarioWareSM Lifeline.png|170px]]
|name1='''[[Lifeline]]'''
|description1=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. After a handful of rounds, the players are tied up and suspended over a lake of crocodiles. The players take turns cutting ropes, and the last man standing wins.
|image2=[[File:WWSM Survival.png|170px]]
|name2='''[[Survival]]'''
|description2=The players are angels flying above the clouds. Each player plays one microgame. If they win, they continue to survive, but if they lose, they start to fall and are eliminated. After every player has played once, the difficulty and speed increase. The last person remaining wins.
|image3=[[File:WarioWareSM Balloon.png|170px]]
|name3='''[[Balloon (minigame)|Balloon]]'''
|description3=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.

==Regional differences==
===The Loquacious Spell Book===
Similarly to previous installments in the series, the localization of ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' includes not only text adaptation, but graphical and sound changes as well, which are listed below.
[[Ashley and Red]] are reading a spell book on how to make a monstrous plant creature. Red turns into a magic wand which Ashley uses to fire a spell at a potted plant. The only result is a flower blooms, much to her displeasure. The Loquacious spell book comes over and says it has an idea.
===Forms===

}}
*Of the 19 forms featured in the game, 13 were adapted for the international versions. The Japanese names for the forms, derived from that nation's culture and history, were replaced with names more easily recognized in the West and internationally. Consequently, the artwork used for each respective form explanation was either edited or completely redrawn. The complete list can be found [[Form Baton#Forms|here]].
*The form explanation music uses Japanese instruments in the original game. The localization exchanges it for a different track, which uses piano and digital sounds instead. The form explanation music in the Korean release uses Korean instruments.
*Each language features its own voice actor for the form explanations and slight variations in style. According to series developer [[Goro Abe]], the Japanese version was intended to emulate "Japanese language courses that are broadcast on TV abroad", with a English-speaking Canadian developer providing the voiceover.<ref name="Iwata Asks"/>


===Microgames===
Ashley finds the proper spell and blasts another potted plant with magic. It quickly grows vines and forms a massive rose petal with a mouth. It becomes so large it breaks through the roof of Ashley's mansion. She is seen at the base of the monster while Red is cowering behind her, and she gives a tiny smile.
*In the Japanese and Korean versions, the narrator announces the form to be used before each microgame along with the visual card. The American and European versions drop the oral cue entirely.
*In the Japanese and Korean versions, the microgame speed-increase prompt says "Speed Up!", while in the English version, it says "Faster!", similar to ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]''
*In the first level of [[Stir Crazy]], the Japanese version has the player grinding rice for soba. This was changed to grinding herbs for spaghetti in the localized versions.
*In the second level of the Korean version of [[Extreme Patty-Cake]], the volcano is replaced by a big flower.
*In the international versions of [[Biggest Fan (WarioWare: Move It!)|Biggest Fan]], the image of the fan was changed from the Japanese kanji 祭 (festival) to an image of a bird.
*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 changes the weapon that the player and enemy wield from swords to wooden sticks.
*The Korean version of [[Cold Call]] changes 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 in the Japanese original is a ''{{wp|senbei}}''. The background and her clothes are also traditionally Japanese in the original, while the localization sets the game at a beach and dresses the woman in a pink jacket and visor.
*In the Japanese version of [[Saving Face (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Saving Face]], the woman wears a red dress. Other versions have her wearing a turtleneck sweater and jeans instead.
*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 Buddhist temple in front of the night sky.
*In the first level of the Japanese version of [[When in Rome…]], the hands wield {{iw|wikipedia|lightsaber}}s. These were replaced with candy canes for international releases.
*[[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 (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|Wario's Woods]]'', ''{{wp|Pilotwings}}'', and ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Super Metroid}}'') in other versions.
*The Korean version has a unique design for [[Three's a Crowd]]. Replacing the traditional Japanese setting for a jungle, the microgame involves a regular Wario whacking a monkey (originally a ninja) before it steals his pile of bananas (originally a woman).
*The first opponent of [[Boom Box (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Boom Box]] originally wears a turban and sports a mustache and a goatee, while in the international games he wears an afro with a bird's head popping out and no facial hair. The third opponent wears this same afro in the Japanese version and has pinkish lips, while other versions make him bald and his lips darker to closely match his skin tone.
*In the Korean version of [[Hare Raising (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Hare Raising]], the red flag is replaced by the blue flag.


===Other===
===Tomorrow Hill===
*The music played on the title screen is different in the Japanese version of the game, which uses the [[Temple of Form]] theme. In other editions of the game, the title music is a cover version of the title theme from ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]''
As [[Dribble and Spitz]] are washing their taxi, a woman in a large sun hat comes over and asks for a ride. They all get in and when questioned where to go, she says Tomorrow Hill. Dribble then revs up the car and starts the trip.
*With the release of the Korean version of ''Smooth Moves'', all of the artwork of the Wii Remote (Form Baton) includes a Wii Remote Jacket.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20090614175945/http://www.nintendo.co.kr/Wii/software/madeinwario/sub01.php|language=ko|title=Wii|publisher=Nintendo of Korea|accessdate=June 25, 2024}}</ref> All other versions of the game use artwork of Wii Remotes without it.

*The note attached to the package Wario got in Tiny Wario's opening cutscene says "From Penny". The "From" part of it is removed in the European version, most likely to accommodate for the fact that the game was released in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish there.
*In the opening and closing cutscenes from Kat and Ana's sequence, the man has a long gray beard in the Korean versions and a samurai ponytail in other versions.
*In Ashley's opening cinematic, Red blows a bubble out of his nose while sleeping in the Japanese and Korean versions.
*In 9-Volt's opening cinematic, the Japanese version has a Famicom while international versions have an NES. Additionally, the phrase that appears with 9-Volt saying the first part and 18-Volt saying the other part is "Love Game" in the Japanese version and "Game Boys" in international versions.


==Development==
When they reach the destination the woman starts walking up the hill while Dribble and Spitz watch. Suddenly a UFO appears and she turns into an alien. The alien waves goodbye to the shocked duo as the ship flies away in a burst of light. When it leaves the woman/alien's sun hat falls on Dribble's head, and Spitz realizes she didn't pay the fare.

===The Invent-Off===
At Diamond Academy [[Penny]] gets ready for the invent-off. At the match her grandfather [[Dr. Crygor]] and [[Mike]] are waiting for her. The event takes place in a wrestling styled ring with a crowd of what looks like a group of [[Mr. Game & Watch]]es.


==Reception==
Penny then reveals a small pink motorcycle with Wario's trademark nose and mustache on the front. However, for some reason, Dr. Crygor is attacked, he hits the ground, hard, and Penny wins. Then she takes one of Mike's microphones and everyone starts dancing.

Here, [[9-Volt]] shows [[18-Volt]] his new [[Donkey Kong (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong Game & Watch]] (which 18-Volt mistakes it for a DS Lite, due to its similarity in design). While 9-Volt plays, 18-Volt is breathing on 9-Volt's shoulder, watching him play the Game & Watch. 18-Volt then wants to play and they have a tug-of-war with the result being a broken Game & Watch. Now enraged, 9-Volt then kicks 18-Volt out of his house. Being out of 9-Volt's house, 18-Volt looks in the [[Toy Express]] for a Game & Watch, but to no avail.

|align=left|"''The WarioWare series has never come at a more perfect time. With the Wii just getting established, a game that shows off the range of motions you can accomplish with the Wii Remote is a perfect companion. But it's more than just a demonstration of the Wii's technology; it's also a terrifically charming, funny, and nefariously addictive game that you can play alone. But it gets even better when you have a crowd on hand to witness the weirdness with you.''"

|align=left|"''I had a great time with Wario Ware{{sic}}: 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.''"

|7/10
|align=left|"''There's no question that Smooth Moves is a wonderful addition to the Wii at a time of the year when hardly anything else is being released, but we can't deny that we were expecting much more from Nintendo. The way the game utilises the controller is beautiful and - as ever - the humour superb, yet it's a game short on long-term appeal because it never really dares to test players. Much like Touched!, its focus appears to be more of a snappy technology demonstration than of providing a lasting challenge, and it's puzzling why Nintendo and Intelligent Systems couldn't have delivered on both counts. The multiplayer mode certainly extends its lifespan a little, but, again, it's a story of massive untapped potential. Let's hope that now the introductions are out of the way, Nintendo can beef up the content for the inevitable release of the next WarioWare.''"

[[Wario]] is at his house when he receives the pink motorcycle [[Penny]] made at the invent-off. He starts riding when suddenly he starts shrinking and falls in a tub in the middle of the bike. The exhaust pipe then shoots out dozens of [[Tiny Wario|Tiny Wario's]] which hop around and find a strawberry patch.

Later they form together in Wario's normal form, but several [[Splunk]]s find him and demand the return of the [[Form Baton]]. He runs through [[Diamond City]] with the Splunks following, while the characters from the game watch from the sides of the street. Wario then runs into the [[Temple of Form]] and falls, dropping the Form Baton in its platform.

The Weekly Wario is a newspaper written and published by [[Wario]] and the other employees of [[WarioWare, Inc.]]. It serves as the enclosed instruction book for the game, and it has many "stories" regarding the [[Form Baton]] and other elements of gameplay, which are in reality instructions on how to play the game. It only had one issue because of Wario never feeling like making another one.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The instruction guide is presented as a newspaper called "The Weekly Wario", and explains several elements of gameplay under the guise of random "stories", though it only has one issue because Wario was too lazy to write a second one. On page 18 of the instruction booklet for the game, Wario says the next issue will be out "whenever he feels like it".
*The music played on the title screen is different in the Japanese version of the game. In the Japanese edition, the music has the same theme as the [[Temple of Form]]. In other editions of the game, the title music is a remix of the title theme from ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]''.
*On the Nintendo Channel, one video incorrectly named the game as ''WarioWare: Smooth Grooves''.<ref>{{cite|format=JPG|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20150227150047/http://gonintendo.com/wp-content/photos/3641514205_a496bfb772.jpg|title=What's wrong with this picture?|publisher=Go-Nintendo|accessdate=June 25, 2024}}</ref>
*With the release of the Korean edition of ''Smooth Moves'', all the artworks of the Wii Remote (Form Baton) have a Wii Remote Jacket to protect the remote.<ref>[http://nintendo.co.kr/Wii/software/madeinwario/sub01.php Official Korean Website]</ref> Other editions of the game got artworks of Wii Remotes without protection jackets.
*The instruction booklet released in North America has a mistake on page 22. The bottom of the page is written in English while the section of the instruction booklet is supposed to be in French.
*On the Nintendo Channel, one video incorrectly named the game as ''Wario Ware: Smooth Grooves''.<ref>[http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=86529 "What's wrong with this picture?" at Go-Nintendo]</ref>
*It is revealed that [[Wario]] is wearing a white pair of underpants with blue polka-dots if the player clicks the Wario icon and waits for a few seconds.
*During the opening movie during 9-Volt's and 18-Volt's stage, when 18-Volt is in the Toy Express store, some monkeys from the Nintendo game ''[[wikipedia:Rhythm Tengoku|Rhythm Tengoku]]'', were on the shelves in the background.
*This is the first ''WarioWare'' game to give Wario unique voice clips instead of recycled ones.
*Although it says that 9-Volt has learned all the forms, there is no game of his that uses The Diner, The Dumbbell, The Mortar and Pestle, The Thumb Wrestler or The Samurai.
*The instruction booklet released in North America has a mistake in page 22. The bottom of the page is written in English while the section of the instruction booklet is supposed to be in French.
