About-Face is one ofWario'smicrogames inWarioWare: Move It! It is named after a military command to turn 180 degrees, also used as an idiom for a reversal in opinion. This microgame shares its music withPut a Lid on It.

Gameplay[edit]

The player controls Wario's arms and can move them around to observe his wrists. The object of the microgame depends on the difficulty level. The Nintendo Switch's system time is displayed on the watches. The watch can either be an analog or a digital 24-hour clock.

  • Level 1: There is a watch on one of Wario's wrists. The player must check it by facing it toward the screen.
  • Level 2: There are objects on both of Wario's wrists, one of which is a real watch that the player must check.
  • Level 3: Same as Level 2, but the player must show the watch to a businessman in front of Wario by facing it toward him. The businessman waves and leaves when the microgame is cleared.
