Stroke of Genius is one of the microgames in Jimmy T's Sports level in WarioWare: Get It Together! Its name is a pun on swimming strokes and "stroke of genius", a phrase meaning a brilliant idea.

Gameplay[edit]

The object of this microgame is to spin the swimmer's arms clockwise, either using direct contact or attacks, to make them reach the island.

  • Level 1: The swimmer's arms are bent.
  • Level 2: The swimmer's arms are slightly less bent.
  • Level 3: The swimmer's arms are straight. It takes place on rainy weather rather than fair weather in lower difficulty levels.

If two players are utilized for this microgame, the swimmer may appear on the right side, requiring the player to spin the arms counterclockwise. If the players win, the player that spins the arms more will receive a point for effort.

  • Red is a below-average fit as his inability to attack any direction other than downward requires him to fly to an area where his bomb will land on the lower hand so the swimmer makes it to the island.
  • 9-Volt is a below-average fit due to his constant movement requiring him to time his attack.
