''WarioWare: Move It!'' is, like other installments in the ''WarioWare'' series, a party game consisting of various microgames with distinct art-styles. Being a successor to ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', its gameplay utilizes motion controls, with the Joy-Con (referred to in-game as the [[Form Stones]]) as controllers. Unlike previous installments in the series, which primarily take place in [[Diamond City]], the game mostly takes place on a new tropical location, named [[Caresaway Island]].<ref name=JPSite2>[https://topics.nintendo.co.jp/article/77f204fe-dadd-48c0-85f7-fb1b0b35091e 今度の舞台は、バリオモロ島!? 『超おどる メイド イン ワリオ』の最新映像をご紹介。].

In the game, the story mode can be played either single- or multiplayer. Its level selection screen is reminiscent of ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' and ''WarioWare: Get It Together!''; each level is represented by one to three character heads, while the remix stages are represented by jeepneys that hold select characters. Story multiplayer returns from ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'' with slight differences. Players take turns playing single-player microgames, and if one player fails, the second player can preserve the life at stake in a tag-in challenge by playing the same microgame. If the second player fails the tag-in, the life is lost. Ocassionally, the players will play a two-player microgame simultaneously and must complete the microgame together.<ref name=VCGameplay> Video Chums. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHqvczAJb7k].

The game begins with a short video about the history of the Form Stones, followed by an advertisement for Caresaway Island shown on a television by a burger vendor. Wario, driving [[Wario Bike|his bike]] in Diamond City, notices the vendor and orders fifty Garlic Burgers, granting him fifty chances to draw tickets. He ultimately gets the winning ticket, a voucher for a free vacation to Caresaway Island with twenty of his friends, much to his dismay. His employees overhear his victory and they all set off to the island via a yacht.

In the end, Wario criticizes Caresaway Island for being the worst vacation.

==Trivia==
*This is the first game in the ''WarioWare'' series to feature a microgame based on a video game in which neither [[Nintendo]] or [[Intelligent Systems]] is credited as a lead developer, as Fuse Games (later known as [[Silverball Studios]]) is credited as the sole developer for ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]''.
**Additionally, as ''Wii Play: Motion'' had its individual games developed by numerous different developers outside of Nintendo proper, this status technically also applies to its microgame in ''Move It!'', which is based on Skip Ltd.'s Pose Mii Plus.

WarioWare: Move It! is the twelfth installment in the WarioWare series, released worldwide for Nintendo Switch on November 3, 2023. First announced during the June 2023 Nintendo Direct, it is the second game in the WarioWare series to be initially released for the console, following WarioWare: Get It Together!. The game returns to the traditional gameplay style of the series after WarioWare: Get It Together!'s departure, and utilizes the Switch's Joy-Con motion sensor as its main mechanic.[3] As indicated by its Japanese title, WarioWare: Move It! is a successor to WarioWare: Smooth Moves, which showcased the Wii's motion controls in a similar manner.[2] It is also the first game in the Super Mario franchise to feature Kevin Afghani as the voice of Wario, succeeding Charles Martinet.[9]

Overview

WarioWare: Move It! is, like other installments in the WarioWare series, a party game consisting of various microgames with distinct art-styles. Being a successor to WarioWare: Smooth Moves, its gameplay utilizes motion controls, with the Joy-Con (referred to in-game as the Form Stones) as controllers. Unlike previous installments in the series, which primarily take place in Diamond City, the game mostly takes place on a new tropical location, named Caresaway Island. As such, the characters of the game wear tropical outfits. The cutscenes of the game make use of full-motion video animation with full voice-acting, like WarioWare Gold.

In the game, the story mode can be played either single-player or multiplayer. Its level selection screen is reminiscent of WarioWare: Smooth Moves and WarioWare: Get It Together!; each level is represented by one to three character heads, while the remix stages are represented by jeepneys that hold select characters. Story multiplayer returns from WarioWare: Get It Together! with slight differences. When playing in multiplayer, players take turns playing single-player microgames, and if one player fails, the second player can preserve the life at stake in a tag-in challenge by playing the same microgame. If the second player fails the tag-in, the life is lost. Occasionally, the players will play a two-player microgame simultaneously and must complete the microgame together.[10]

The party mode of the game features five multiplayer modes (two returning from WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!) which can be played with up to four players, who each choose a crew member to play as.

Story

The game begins with a short video about the history of the Form Stones, followed by an advertisement for Caresaway Island shown on a television by a burger vendor. Wario, driving his bike in Diamond City, notices the vendor and orders fifty garlic burgers, granting him fifty chances to draw tickets. He ultimately gets the winning ticket, a voucher for a free vacation to Caresaway Island with twenty of his friends, much to his dismay. The other nineteen characters of the cast overhear his victory and they all set off to the island via a yacht.

Available from the start
Story: When the cast finally arrives at the island, they are welcomed by the locals. As a welcome gift, the cast is given Form Stones, which are said to bring good luck. Wario, unimpressed, throws his away, causing a chain of events, leading to an elephant sending him flying into a shrine at Perspiration Peak Volcano, where he is chased by the Woods Watchers for trespassing.

Later, Wario escapes the inhabitants of the temple, but falls off a cliff. He lands on the same parrot he accidentally hit with the Form Stones earlier. Wario is delighted at his luck, and takes a liking to the Form Stones. He laughs as the parrot carries him off.

"Ciao! It's me, Mona! Isn't it fantastic that mermaids live in these waters? It'd be amazing to meet them someday! In the meantime, I'd love to show you the Forms Sky Stretch and Knight. Be sure to warm up before you take a dip, and then shoot for a high score!" (Second description)

Later, Mona discovers the silhouette of a mermaid, which happens to be Lulu being caught in a fish's mouth. Mona frantically proceeds to rescue Lulu, just missing a group of real mermaids.

Now then, what might these ancient paintings depict?" (First description)

Story: While observing some cave paintings in Underarm Jungle, Dr. Crygor, Penny and Mike find a painting of a strange creature. Since none of them can figure out what the creature is, Dr. Crygor uses his latest invention, the Time Obliterator 5.0, to travel back in time to the Stone Age to see how the painting was made. There, the trio meet the actual creature and an ancient Caresawayan who is in need of new ideas for what to draw. After being struck by creative inspiration after meeting the colorful trio, the Caresawayan asks the trio to make poses as inspiration for his art.

The trio starts to get tired until the caveman fervently draws them on the wall, which they are impressed at. Later on, Wario walks by the cave paintings and notices paintings of Dr. Crygor, Penny, and Mike, much to his confusion.

"It's still me, Ashley. This island has weird fruit. I should find more for Red to, uh...taste test. I've got the Forms Tug-of-War and Scales for you. You could try for a high score if you're bored. I'm not going anywhere." (Second description)

Story: Orbulon is eating fruit while making a mess onboard his Oinker. Irritated, the Oinker shakes off the mess but accidentally throws Orbulon out. A group of nearby Woods Watchers are worshipping a statue of their god, the Voice from above, when Orbulon crashes into it and loses his memories. The Woods Watchers mistake Orbulon for the Voice, and begin to serve him. Shocked at the sight of Orbulon being overstuffed with fruit, the Oinker emits a signal into his brain where tiny versions of Orbulon work together to restore his memories.

Later, Orbulon's memories are eventually restored and he suddenly remembers the times he and the Oinker spent together. Orbulon proceeds to hug his Oinker but ends up losing his memories again after slipping on a banana peel.

Gameplay

Microgames

Main article: List of WarioWare: Move It! microgames

There is a total of 223 microgames across 11 stages, tied with WarioWare: Twisted! in having the second largest number of microgames in a WarioWare series game. Wario's first stage has 13 microgames, and all others have 21 each.

Forms

Main article: Form Stones

In the game, the microgames use different variations of holding the Joy-Con controllers, called Forms. These positions are the following:

Image Form In-game text Position
Form guide for Choo Choo Choo Choo The Voice from above speaks:
"Hold your Form Stones in your hands, keep your arms close to your sides, and bend your elbows at a right angle. Your thumbs must be on top."
The Voice saw that the people were unready and had them brace themselves for anything. This is the origin of Choo Choo, a Form to survive an absurd endeavor.
The player holds both Joy-Con upright in front of them.
Form guide for Sky Stretch Sky Stretch The Voice from above speaks:
"Perform a Grip Hold, then raise both hands high above your head, as if dangling from monkey bars."
When the Voice awoke and performed the Sky Stretch, its arms reached up through the clouds. Everyone on the island could see them for miles, blocking out a beautiful sunrise.
The player holds both Joy-Con horizontally above themselves.
Form guide for Knight Knight The Voice from above speaks:
"Perform a Grip Hold with your hands stacked atop one another. Your dominant hand should be on top."
The Voice saw its people were defenseless, so it gave them a sword. After a few mishaps, it also gave them this Form so they knew not to hold the pointy end.
The player holds both Joy-Con upright with their dominant-hand Joy-Con above their non-dominant-hand Joy-Con.
Form guide for Massage Massage The Voice from above speaks:
"Perform a Grip Hold with both hands held straight out in front of you. Your palms should be facing down."
The Voice used this Form to care for those who built its temple. The workers' exhaustion was magically lifted. As a result, the Voice could work them even harder, and the job was done in three days.
The player holds both Joy-Con horizontally with the face buttons facing down.
Form guide for Big Cheese Big Cheese The Voice from above speaks:
"Perform a Grip Hold with the palms of your hands to your hips, thumbs forward. Then puff out your chest."
This was a Form initially reserved for royals. One day, a king did the Big Cheese in public. It spread quickly amongst the people. And as such, they're all a little cheesy.
The player holds both Joy-Con onto their hips.
Form guide for Tug-of-War Tug-of-War The Voice from above speaks:
"Perform a Grip Hold with both hands in a straight line in front of your navel. Your dominant hand must be in front."
"One, two, three...pull!"
The Voice taught that everyone must pull their weight. Failure to do so would be over the line.
The player holds both Joy-Con pointing forward with their dominant-hand Joy-Con in front of their non-dominant-hand Joy-Con.
Form guide for Scales Scales The Voice from above speaks:
"Perform a Grip Hold with both arms outstretched to the sides. Your thumbs must be on top."
The tilt of your body reflects the imbalance in your heart. In order to master the Scales Form, one must empty one's pockets. The smallest piece of lint can lead to disaster.
The player holds both Joy-Con upright with their arms outstretched to each side.
Form guide for Lifter Lifter The Voice from above speaks:
"Perform a Grip Hold with both arms held vertically in front of you. Your palms should face your head."
This Form captures the strength of a mighty warrior. The Voice had intended for the barbells to be a loaner. But they worked so well that it was too intimidated to ask for them back.
The player holds both Joy-Con horizontally with the face buttons facing them.
Form guide for Gift Giver Gift Giver The Voice from above speaks:
"Open both hands, then place your Form Stones in them."
The rocks are cute in the hand, like small pets. But remember this. You, too, are like a small pet to the Voice.
The player places both Joy-Con face-up onto their palms.
Form guide for Ba-KAW Ba-KAW The Voice from above speaks:
"Perform a Grip Hold with your dominant hand at your nose and the other at your rear. Your thumbs must be at your nose and rear, with the Form Stones parallel to the ground."
Feathers lookin' sleek
and wind blowin' back my comb.
Cluckin' round the island 'cause
that's all I've ever known. Yeah!
The player holds their dominant-hand Joy-Con up to their nose and their non-dominant-hand Joy-Con onto their rear end.
Form guide for At Attention At Attention The Voice from above speaks:
"Perform a Grip Hold with both arms held straight down."
Do not underestimate the simpler Forms. Your mind and body must always be ready, for at any moment you may be called upon to accomplish the inexplicable.
The player stands with their hands at their sides.
Form guide for Fashionista Fashionista The Voice from above speaks:
"Perform a Grip Hold with your dominant hand over your shoulder, thumb facing down. The other hand's palm is at your waist. Its thumb should face forward."
This Form is very popular...and flattering. The Voice was not immune to its charms and would often show off this Form from several angles, asking which was its good side.
The player holds their dominant-hand Joy-Con next to their head and their non-dominant-hand Joy-Con onto their hip.
Form guide for Hand Model Hand Model The Voice from above speaks:
"Let go of the left Form Stone. Hold the right Form Stone in your left hand. Capture your right hand in the Gesture Window. The Form Stone strap should be on the bottom."
Feeling useless and adrift, the left Form Stone stood awkwardly by. Eventually, the island winds carried it off.
The player holds the right Joy-Con with their left hand and points the IR Camera to their free right hand.
Form guide for Crocodile Crocodile The Voice from above speaks:
"Perform a Grip Hold with palms together and arms held straight out. Your dominant hand should be on top."
Your hands should rest lightly atop each other. We do this out of the solidarity with the island crocodiles, which have unusually weak jaws.
The player holds both Joy-Con horizontally with their dominant-hand Joy-Con above their non-dominant-hand Joy-Con.
Form guide for Squat Squat The Voice from above speaks:
"Perform a Grip Hold with your palms at your thighs. Spread your legs and lower your hips. Keep your hands on your thighs without letting go."
Once, when the Voice was angered, it held this Form for three full days. In doing so, the Voice's wrath subsided. What was left behind is the origin of the phrase "mountain pass."
The player squats down and holds both Joy-Con onto their thighs.
Form guide for Archer Archer The Voice from above speaks:
"Perform a Grip Hold with your dominant hand's palm on your chest. Hold the other arm straight out. Turn your chest to the side, as if you're drawing a bowstring.
"Father, the hunt went so well today!"
"Yes. It's lucky for us that we've practiced the Archer form."
Parent and child returned to their home as the skies above practiced Sunset Form.
The player holds both Joy-Con upright with their dominant-hand Joy-Con close to their chest and their non-dominant-hand Joy-Con outstretched in front of them.
Form guide for Lovestruck Lovestruck The Voice from above speaks:
"Perform a Grip Hold with your palms at your cheeks. Pull in your arms with thumbs facing upwards. Keep your hands at your cheeks, and don't let them slip."
The Voice fell deeply in love, resulting in the dawn of this Form. It turned out to be more of a short-lived crush, but the name stuck.
The player holds both Joy-Con onto their cheeks.
Form guide for Pounce Pounce The Voice from above speaks:
"Place the Form Stones on a flat surface. You don't need to crouch. The front sides should face up. Do not remove the straps."
See the Form Stones enjoying a respite from human hands. Little do they know that the silent calm is about to be broken by the people's revels.
The player kneels down and places both Joy-Con on the floor with the face buttons facing up. Alternatively, they can place them on a flat surface in front of them.

Staff

Main article: List of WarioWare: Move It! staff

Like its predecessor, WarioWare: Move It! was primarily developed by Intelligent Systems and supervised by Nintendo. Goro Abe, the lead of the series, continued to serve as the chief director. Waki Shigeta, who was the art director for the previous installment, also directed the entire game development. Ko Takeuchi once again worked on the character art and illustrations. The characters' English voice actors from WarioWare: Get It Together! all return except Charles Martinet, who was succeeded by Kevin Afghani. In the credits, there is also a list of the developers’ favorite food.

Promotion

A promotional image showcasing the lunch box

By pre-ordering the game through the My Nintendo Store in Europe, customers received a lunch box.[11]

In Japan, Nintendo ran an ad campaign for the game featuring the comedy duo Chidori.[12][13]

On the day of the game's release, Nintendo released a parodic launch trailer in the form of a "Launch WAHmmercial" on its YouTube channel.[14] This trailer parodies TV infomercials by introducing how the game can help the player through typical life situations. Within the trailer, fake testimonials are made for the game from fake sources such as Toilet Tribute, Dr. W.A. Rio, and Someone Named "Dan". In this scene, some testimonials tease the viewer for pausing the trailer to try to read through them.

Reception

WarioWare: Move It! received generally positive reviews. Critics largely praised its microgames and controls, with some even deeming it better than WarioWare: Smooth Moves. However, the game was also criticized for its scarcity in post-game and multiplayer content, such as the number of minigames and multiplayer modes available.

Reviews
Release Reviewer, Publication Score Comment
Nintendo Switch Shaan Joshi, We Got This Covered 3/5 "WarioWare: Move It! offers up plenty of hilarious, colorful, and creative microgames — it's just a shame that players will have to contend with an unwavering dedication to motion controls and a story mode that only lasts a couple of hours."
Nintendo Switch Adam Cook, God is a Geek 9/10 "WarioWare: Move It! is a hilarious, bonkers game that shouldn’t be missed, and the best WarioWare title since Smooth Moves and the earlier handheld titles."
Nintendo Switch Ryan Janes, Nintendo Insider 7/10 "WarioWare: Move It! delivers another wild and wacky assortment of microgames that make some of the best use we’ve ever seen from the Joy-Con’s motion functionality. The variety of actions you’ll perform is truly impressive and there’s little denying the quality of ideas on display here. In a package more catered to multiplayer though and with few extras and surprises to distract in the longer term, Move It! isn’t likely to keep the attention of those playing alone for much more than a weekend. Still, WarioWare is just as fun and unpredictable its ever been, even if it is a little lighter in content this time around."

Trivia

  • This is the first game in the WarioWare series to feature a microgame based on a video game in which neither Nintendo or Intelligent Systems is credited as a lead developer, as Fuse Games (later known as Silverball Studios) is credited as the sole developer for Mario Pinball Land.
    • Additionally, as Wii Play: Motion had its individual games developed by numerous different developers outside of Nintendo proper, this status technically also applies to its microgame in Move It!, which is based on Skip Ltd.'s Pose Mii Plus.
