Chicken Pinch
Template:Minigame-infobox Chicken Pinch is a microgame in the Strange folder in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!. It reappears as part of Mona's set in WarioWare Gold.
Gameplay
There is a large set of tongs floating above the ground in the middle of the screen. The player can press the 
button to pinch with it. A chicken will run along the line, stopping and jumping when it reaches under the tongs, and the player must catch it by pinching with good timing. If the chicken is grabbed while doing a backflip, it will be held by the legs, instead of the whole body.
- 1st level difficulty: The chicken jumps three times. The last jump is a backflip.
- 2nd level difficulty: The chicken jumps twice. The second jump is a backflip.
- 3rd level difficulty: The chicken does one backflip.
In WarioWare Gold, the chicken bugs will randomly have a single hair on their heads. Pinching the hair counts as a failure (however, one of the missions require this to be done). Additionally, the third stage may include three chicken bugs coming in, with only one of them jumping high enough to be caught.
