Stab in the Dark is one of Jimmy T.'s microgames in WarioWare: Twisted! and returns in WarioWare Gold as one of Ashley & Red's microgames. Its name is derived from the phrase meaning a guess with little or no evidence (also a "shot in the dark").
Gameplay
The player controls a lone samurai named Shadowy Samurai, who must stop samurai assassins from attacking him by touching them with his sword. If Shadowy Samurai’s sword is correctly tilted, either the other's sword will fly off or, if it's pointing at his chest, the assassin will drop the sword and say "Ouch".
- 1st level difficulty: There is a single assassin.
- 2nd level difficulty: There are two assassins. Sometimes, one of them charges at Shadowy Samurai, but then runs back; then the other assassin charges from behind.
- 3rd level difficulty: The same as level two, except that sometimes one of them stops just in front of the sword; then the other one strikes from behind, and the one who had stopped charges forward again.
A souvenir called Stabs in the Dark also appears in Twisted! Its gameplay is identical, but assassins keep coming and attacking until the player gets hit.
Mission (WarioWare Gold)
- Two Hits: The player has to clear the game without hitting any bamboo swords.
