Crane Catcher is one of Dribble & Spitz's microgames in WarioWare: Move It!

Gameplay[edit]

The object of the game is to collect the item inside the claw machine. The player is controlling a crane to grab it with unlimited tries; as long as they are able to grab and lift the item in the time limit, the microgame will be won.

  • Level 1: The toy inside the machine is a small cat toy. If successful, the cat smiles while two hearts appear.
  • Level 2: The toy inside the machine is a rather large UFO. The player needs to grab onto its top part. If successful, the UFO releases a cow or a Fronk.
  • Level 3: The toy inside the machine is a toaster with a slice of bread sticking out of it. The player needs to aim for the bread. If successful, the bread is pulled out to reveal that it is burned at the bottom or a part of it is bitten off.
Crane Catcher
The 2-player variant

In multiplayer, each player is controlling a different crane and the toy will have to be grabbed in two different spots to be lifted.

  • Level 1: The toy inside the machine is a bunny rug. The players have to grab both of its ears. If successful, the bunny's face zooms in and out.
  • Level 2: The toy inside the machine is a large whale plush. The players have to grab its mouth and its tail. If successful, its fins stretch and its tail flaps.
  • Level 3: The toy inside the machine is a drone toy. The players have to grab it from its propeller. If successful, the other two propellers spin.
