Stroke of Genius is a microgame found in WarioWare: Touched! in the Slightly Unscrewed stage and returns in WarioWare Gold as one of Young Cricket & Master Mantis's microgames.

Gameplay

The objective is to make the swimmer to swim to the very end of the pool and come in first place. The swimmer occasionally swims with different strokes. This game has double the time to complete than other microgames.

WarioWare: Touched!

  • 1st level difficulty: The swimmer does not need to bypass another swimmer.
  • 2nd level difficulty: One swimmer is in the lead.
  • 3rd level difficulty: The swimmer must bypass several swimmers who swim fast.

WarioWare Gold

There are no opponents, and the swimmer's starting position differs between difficulties. Sometimes the player will have to make a hamster in a ball make it to the end of the pool.

  • 1st level difficulty: The swimmer starts at around 3⁄4 away from the goal.
  • 2nd level difficulty: The swimmer starts at the far end from the goal.
  • 3rd level difficulty: Same as Level 1, but a shark is chasing the swimmer and gradually speeds up as it reaches closer to the goal. If the shark catches up to the swimmer, the player loses. If the player played as the hamster, the hamster will be shown without his ball if he gets caught.
