Focus Pocus is one of Jimmy T's microgames in WarioWare: Twisted! and returns as one of Wario's Twist League introduction microgames in WarioWare Gold. Its name is a pun on the phrase "hocus pocus".

Gameplay

The game's purpose is to tilt the system to focus the lens until the picture is clear. Wario controls the lens in Gold.

  • 1st level difficulty: It takes a short time to get the lens to focus. The picture is some sushi or two men with peanut-shaped heads. In Gold, the picture is only the former.
  • 2nd level difficulty: It takes more time to get the lens to focus. The picture is a raccoon in a kettle, or an old man holding an umbrella. In Gold, the picture is a kid looking through binoculars, or the old man from Make a Wish in a space helmet with the aliens from Strength in Numbers.
  • 3rd level difficulty: It takes a long time to get the lens to focus. The picture is a woman that looks like a tree. In Gold, the picture is the characters from Oh, Snap! side by side together in a sunset, or a chubby man wearing a t-shirt with a pop star on it.
