Tempest in a Teapot is one of the microgames in Orbulon's Culture level in WarioWare: Get It Together! It is based on an idiom meaning a small event that has been exaggerated out of proportion.

Gameplay

A tea bag is placed in a water filled container. The player must attack it until the bag turns the water completely into tea.

  • Level 1: The player must steep the tea bag inside a teacup.
  • Level 2: The player must steep the tea bag inside a tea kettle.
  • Level 3: The player must steep the tea bag inside a teapot.

If two players are utilized for this microgame, each difficulty is a level higher than their single-player counterpart. Level 3 involves steeping the tea bag inside a larger teapot. If the players win, the player that attacks the tea bag more receives an effort point.
