==Gameplay==
In this microgame, there is an adult hand holding a long piece of stick above while a small hand wearing a mitt appears below from the other hand above. The objective of the microgame is that the small hand the player is controlling has to catch the stick that the adult hand had released from its grips. At the start of the microgame, the adult hand with the stick held will release that object at a certain amount of time. The stick's speed of falling defines normal through fast depending on the gameplay. When released, the player has to catch it at the right time after the stick is released.  
In this microgame, there is a hand at the top of the screen holding a purple stick, and [[Wario]]'s hand near the bottom of the screen, directly under the top one. The top hand drops the stick, and the player has to press {{button|gba|A}} at the proper time. If done correctly, Wario's hand will catch the stick, and the microgame will be won. However, if the player's timing is off, the stick will either bounce off the top of Wario's hand or will fall through it entirely, in which case the game will be lost.
 
If the player catches the stick at the right time, the player wins the microgame. If the player catches the stick too early or late, the player loses the microgame.


As the player progresses on playing the microgame, the difficulty and speed increases as the stick appears to be smaller; making it hard for the player to catch. The size routine repeats time three times until the routine starts over again with the normal size stick. Additionally, the stick becomes a bit faster later on.
*'''1st level difficulty:''' The stick is large, and easy to catch.
*'''2nd level difficulty:''' The stick is medium sized, and a bit harder to catch.
*'''3rd level difficulty:''' The stick is tiny, about the same size as Wario's hand, and is very hard to catch.


After unlocking the microgame, the player can play this microgame by picking the "Grid" selection on the bottom side of [[Wario's Laptop]] and opening the "Introduction" folder. To beat the micro-game, the player will have to reach 15 points to beat it.
