  • 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[edit]

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