Gameplay[edit]
The player controls a boy with orange hair in a karate outfit (black belt), who, inWarioWare Gold, is much older and now a karate master[1] (also appearing inGoal in One). InWarioWare: Twisted! they stand in a blue hallway, while inWarioWare Gold the location is level dependent. They hold out their hands on opposite sides of their body, equidistant from their center of mass. The player tilt the system to move the hands as though they are on a circular track surrounding the character, though the hands always move at the same time so the distance between the hands is always a diameter of the circle. Left tilts move the hands counterclockwise, right tilts move the hands clockwise.
Objects move from random positions in the foreground toward the character, and the player has to position one of the hand hand to deflect them. While multiple objects can be on screen, they can only reach the character one at a time. InTwisted!, the objects arebaseballs, basketballs,watermelons, and knives. InGold, the objects are baseballs,soccer balls,tomatoes, rocks, asteroids, andUFOs. If the player is hit by any one of these objects, the character is knocked backward and off into the distance. The player loses. Surviving until the microgame ends wins it. While many objects can appear on the screen, and always do inWarioWare Gold, only the number of objects listed bellow arrive at the character before time runs out.
- 1st level difficulty: The player must deflect two objects. InGold this takes place in on a soccer field in front of a goal similar to Goal in One.
- 2nd level difficulty: The player must deflect three objects. InGold this takes place on a rock spire in a canyon.
- 3rd level difficulty: The player must deflect three or four objects, though four is more common. InGold this takes place on theMoon while it is in front ofEarth.
