Tip the Scale is one of Orbulon's microgames found in the IQ folder in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! and reappears in WarioWare Gold as one of Mona's microgames.

Gameplay

Items of varying weights (small, medium and large) are on each side of a scale. The player then has to decide which side is heavier. If the player chose the correct pile of items, the room will become yellow. If not, the room goes gray.

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! & WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!

In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! and WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!, the only items present on the scale are turtles.

  • 1st level difficulty: There are three turtles on each side.
  • 2nd level difficulty: There are three turtles on each side and the three sizes are mixed up.
  • 3rd level difficulty: Same as Level 2, but there are four turtles on each side.

WarioWare Gold

The WarioWare Gold version features more items to weigh, including fish, cats and human-shaped turnips.

  • 1st level difficulty: There are three items on each side.
  • 2nd level difficulty: There are three items on each side and the three sizes are mixed up.
  • 3rd level difficulty: There are multiple stacks of pancakes on each side, some of which are cut in half.
