Wario holding the Form Baton.

The Form Baton is the most important object in WarioWare: Smooth Moves. Wario stumbled in on this mysterious device in a place called the Temple of Form. He soon finds out that how one uses it depends on the way one holds it. Then, he goes off and shares it with his friends at WarioWare. It turns out that the Form shown is how the player must use the Wii Remote to play the game (in-game instructions actually refer to the Wii Remote as the "Form Baton"). The Form Baton also has a Nunchuk counterpart, the Balance Stone, shown in the final stage of the game.

Forms

Forms, as the name implies, are the modes of holding the Wii Remote Form Baton (Wii Remote) in WarioWare: Smooth Moves. The forms are introduced by the Form Explanation, which acts as an often comedic tutorial of how to use each form. Each form is used for certain microgames in the game. Below is a list of forms (and compatible microgames) in order of their appearance:

The Remote Control

The Remote Control.

With the tip of the Form Baton pointing forward, hold it ready just like a remote control.
Due to its simplicity, this effortless form is the basis for all modes.
