The game stars the bird [[Pyoro]] who either has to eat or shoot as many falling vegetables as possible in order to score points and to prevent himself from being hit by the vegetables.


The player can choose between both minigames which are nearly identical to the original ones. The main difference is that the playing area has been extended to 30 blocks, while it lasted 20 blocks in the original. ''Pyoro 2'' has been renamed ''Bird & Beans 2'' in North America and ''Tori to Mame 2'' in the Japanese version.

There are three types of vegetables. A green one, a white one, and a glowing one. Green vegetables are the most common while the glowing ones are the rarest. Eating a green vegetable will give the player points (Like any other vegetable), eating a white vegetable will repair one of the broken pieces of the floor, and eating the new glowing vegetable will make all of the broken pieces of the floor get repaired. All of the vegetables on the screen at that time will also turn into 50 points each. The first glowing vegetable falls when a player obtains 5000 points.

The background is divided into five different layers. The first layer is the highest and the fifth layer is the lowest. Depending on which layer Pyoro catches the vegetable in, his points will differ. If Pyoro eats a vegetable from the top layer, the player will get 1000 points, eating vegetables in the second layer will give the player 300 points, eating fruits in the third layer will give the player 100 points, eating fruits in the fourth layer will give the player 50 points and finally eating vegetables on the fifth layer (really close to the floor), will give the player 10 points. Like the old games, if Pyoro gets hit by a vegetable, he will die and the game will end.
The background is divided into five different layers. The first layer is the highest and the fifth layer is the lowest. Depending on which layer Pyoro catches the vegetable in, the amount of points earned will differ in the following order from top to bottom: 1000, 300, 100, 50 and 10. Like the old games, if Pyoro gets hit by a bean, he will die and the game will end.


The high score for this game is 10000 points. If the player is able to obtain this much and last for as long as he can, ''Pyoro 2'' (''Bird & Beans 2'') will be added to the empty square in the main menu.

Bird & Beans, known as Pyoro in European languages, is a DSiWare game for the Nintendo DSi, and is a remake of the minigames "Pyoro" and "Pyoro 2" from WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!. It was released in Japan on December 24, 2008, in Australia on April 2, in Europe on April 3, 2009, in North America on April 5, 2009, and in China on December 15, 2009, as a launch title for the price of 200 Nintendo Points. The game stars the bird Pyoro who either has to eat or shoot as many falling vegetables as possible in order to score points and to prevent himself from being hit by the vegetables.

The player can choose between both minigames which are nearly identical to the original ones. The main difference is that the playing area has been extended to 30 blocks, while it lasted 20 blocks in the original. Pyoro 2 is referred to as Bird & Beans 2 in the North American version and Tori to Mame 2 in the Japanese version.

Gameplay

The gameplay of Bird & Beans is not very different from the original Pyoro. Some things are improved though like the amount of blocks in the playing area. The main objective of this game is to eat as many vegetables as the player can. Pyoro has to prevent vegetables from hitting the ground and he has to avoid getting hit by them. To eat falling vegetables, the player just has to simply push the A Button button. To extend Pyoro's tongue longer, players can hold A Button longer. When the player gets a certain amount of points, the game will speed up and the background will change.

There are three types of vegetables. A green one, a white one, and a glowing one. Green vegetables are the most common while the glowing ones are the rarest. Eating a green vegetable will give the player points (Like any other vegetable), eating a white vegetable will repair one of the broken pieces of the floor, and eating the new glowing vegetable will make all of the broken pieces of the floor get repaired. All of the vegetables on the screen at that time will also turn into 50 points each. The first glowing vegetable falls when a player obtains 5000 points.

The background is divided into five different layers. The first layer is the highest and the fifth layer is the lowest. Depending on which layer Pyoro catches the vegetable in, the amount of points earned will differ in the following order from top to bottom: 1000, 300, 100, 50 and 10. Like the old games, if Pyoro gets hit by a bean, he will die and the game will end.

The high score for this game is 10000 points. If the player is able to obtain this much and last for as long as they can, Bird & Beans 2 will be added to the empty square in the main menu.
