Character Development is one ofWario'smicrogames in theTouch Training stage inWarioWare: Touched! It returns inWarioWare Gold as one ofOrbulon's microgames. It is one of the few microgames inTouched! that use 3D models.

Gameplay[edit]

The objective of the game is to tap on the flying letters to spell the word on the top screen before the time runs out. If the player chooses the wrong letter inTouched, they do not lose the microgame, but they have to start the word all over. This microgame has twice the time to complete, as it requires quickly tapping some fast-moving objects. The possible letters that may appear are letters A-J, M-O, R-U and Y.

  • 1st level difficulty: The word uses two different letters and only necessary letters fly by.
  • 2nd level difficulty: The word uses three different letters and only necessary letters fly by.
  • 3rd level difficulty: The word uses three different letters and some unnecessary letters fly by along with the necessary letters.

Possible words:
