Pincer Attack is one of Dribble & Spitz's microgames in WarioWare: Move It!

Gameplay

The object of the game is to order each of the three animals into their corresponding boxes. The game can either feature yellow chicks, teal hedgehogs or pink squirrels. To order the animals, the player has to grab them with their pincers and drop them into their corresponding boxes. The pincers are coloured appropriately to the box they can reach as the left pincer cannot reach the far right of the screen and the right pincer cannot reach the far left of the screen. When cleared, a stamp will appear on the middle of the screen with drawings of the two animal types active during this minigame.

  • Level 1: The animals are stationary in a straight line.
  • Level 2: Two of the animals are stationary while the last one walks from left to right above them.
  • Level 3: All animals are walking around in a circle.

In multiplayer, the number of animals bumps up to five and the players each stand on one side of the table. They cannot reach animals that are too far away from their respective sides.

  • Level 1: The animals are stationary. Two animals each are only reachable by one player, and the last one is in the middle.
  • Level 2: Two animals each are only reachable by one player and walk around in a circle, and the last one is stationary in the middle.
  • Level 3: All animals are walking around in a circle.
