Universal Marionette is one of Mona's microgames in WarioWare: Smooth Moves and returns in WarioWare Gold as one of the Twist League's Intro Games. The background in both versions is a reference to Leonardo da Vinci's drawing "Vitruvian Man".
Gameplay
The player must deflect the watermelons aiming at the marionette's head with the marionette's limbs. The player loses if the watermelon hits the marionette's head.

- 2nd level difficulty: The player must deflect 3 watermelons.
