Story

Wario is at his house eating strawberries, when a mouse appears and steals the last one. Enraged, Wario chases him to outside the house, where he gets arrows and a bow from a passerby and tries to hit the mouse. Later, Wario is sitting on his sofa, when the mouse throws pepper on his face, causing him to sneeze. This makes the mouse to bounce on walls until it hits Wario's dusty old laptop. Wario, then, gets the idea for his new game.

Arrow is a shooting game. The game consists of using the Wii U GamePad to shoot arrows from a Wario-themed bow using the Wii U GamePad to hit crowds of MechaWario minions, who walk closer to the player. During some parts, bombs appear in the ground and cause a big explosing if hit, making the robots easier targets. The player receives 10 points for each MechaWario minion hit alone. If the player "tickles" the arrow's nose, it uses pepper to cause more damage when it hits the ground. There are also parts when a giant cannon ball is shot at the player. The player must hold the gamepad as a shield to block it.

The player has four strawberries that act as their lives. When a MechaWario minion reaches the player, it jumps onto the touch screen and the player must stomp the minions by tapping them on the Wii U GamePad. If the player is unsuccessful in doing this, then the robot steals one of the four fruits.

At the end of each stage, a MechaWario boss appears. In order to defeat it and pass the targeted stage, the player must shoot arrows at various weak spots (depending on level difficulty).
