Gameplay[edit]

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 A Button 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.

  • 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.
