''WarioWare: Move It!'' is, like other installments in the ''WarioWare'' series, a party game consisting of various microgames with distinct art-styles. Being a successor to ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', its gameplay utilizes motion controls, with the Joy-Con (referred to in-game as the [[Form Stones]]) as controllers. Unlike previous installments in the series, which primarily take place in [[Diamond City]], the game mostly takes place on a new tropical location, named [[Caresaway Island]]. | ''WarioWare: Move It!'' is, like other installments in the ''WarioWare'' series, a party game consisting of various microgames with distinct art-styles.

Unlike previous installments in the series, which primarily take place in [[Diamond City]], the game mostly takes place on a new tropical location, named [[Caresaway Island]]. As such, the characters of the game wear tropical outfits. The cutscenes of the game make use of full-motion video animation with full voice-acting, like ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''. | ||
In the game, the story mode can be played either single- or multiplayer. Its level selection screen is reminiscent of ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' and ''WarioWare: Get It Together!''; each level is represented by one to three character heads, while the remix stages are represented by jeepneys that hold select characters. Story multiplayer returns from ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'' with slight differences. | In the game, the story mode can be played either single-player or multiplayer.

Story multiplayer returns from ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'' with slight differences. When playing in multiplayer, players take turns playing single-player microgames, and if one player fails, the second player can preserve the life at stake in a tag-in challenge by playing the same microgame. If the second player fails the tag-in, the life is lost. Occasionally, the players will play a two-player microgame simultaneously and must complete the microgame together.<ref name=VCGameplay> Video Chums. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHqvczAJb7k].

The other nineteen characters of the cast overhear his victory and they all set off to the island via a yacht. | ||

''WarioWare: Move It!'' received generally positive reviews. Critics largely praised its microgames and controls, with some even deeming it better than ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''.

==Trivia== | |||
*This is the first game in the ''WarioWare'' series to feature a microgame based on a video game in which neither [[Nintendo]] or [[Intelligent Systems]] is credited as a lead developer, as Fuse Games (later known as [[Silverball Studios]]) is credited as the sole developer for ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]''. | |||
**Additionally, as ''Wii Play: Motion'' had its individual games developed by numerous different developers outside of Nintendo proper, this status technically also applies to its microgame in ''Move It!'', which is based on Skip Ltd.'s Pose Mii Plus. | |||

WarioWare: Move It! is the twelfth installment in the WarioWare series, released worldwide for Nintendo Switch on November 3, 2023. First announced during the June 2023 Nintendo Direct, it is the second game in the WarioWare series to be initially released for the console, following WarioWare: Get It Together!. The game returns to the traditional gameplay style of the series after WarioWare: Get It Together!'s departure, and utilizes the Switch's Joy-Con motion sensor as its main mechanic.[3] As indicated by its Japanese title, WarioWare: Move It! is a successor to WarioWare: Smooth Moves, which showcased the Wii's motion controls in a similar manner.[2] It is also the first game in the Super Mario franchise to feature Kevin Afghani as the voice of Wario, succeeding Charles Martinet.[9]
Overview
WarioWare: Move It! is, like other installments in the WarioWare series, a party game consisting of various microgames with distinct art-styles. Being a successor to WarioWare: Smooth Moves, its gameplay utilizes motion controls, with the Joy-Con (referred to in-game as the Form Stones) as controllers. Unlike previous installments in the series, which primarily take place in Diamond City, the game mostly takes place on a new tropical location, named Caresaway Island. As such, the characters of the game wear tropical outfits. The cutscenes of the game make use of full-motion video animation with full voice-acting, like WarioWare Gold.
In the game, the story mode can be played either single-player or multiplayer. Its level selection screen is reminiscent of WarioWare: Smooth Moves and WarioWare: Get It Together!; each level is represented by one to three character heads, while the remix stages are represented by jeepneys that hold select characters. Story multiplayer returns from WarioWare: Get It Together! with slight differences. When playing in multiplayer, players take turns playing single-player microgames, and if one player fails, the second player can preserve the life at stake in a tag-in challenge by playing the same microgame. If the second player fails the tag-in, the life is lost. Occasionally, the players will play a two-player microgame simultaneously and must complete the microgame together.[10]
The party mode of the game features five multiplayer modes (two returning from WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!) which can be played with up to four players, who each choose a crew member to play as.
Story
The game begins with a short video about the history of the Form Stones, followed by an advertisement for Caresaway Island shown on a television by a burger vendor. Wario, driving his bike in Diamond City, notices the vendor and orders fifty garlic burgers, granting him fifty chances to draw tickets. He ultimately gets the winning ticket, a voucher for a free vacation to Caresaway Island with twenty of his friends, much to his dismay. The other nineteen characters of the cast overhear his victory and they all set off to the island via a yacht.

"It's me—Wario! I won my way to Caresaway Island, and I'm gonna milk this resort for all it's worth! Don't tell any of those chumps who work for me, but I smell TREASURE!" (First description) "Wario here! It's official. I do NOT like shrines! Lucky for me, I got out. But the Form Stones aren't too bad. My favorite form is Choo Choo. Wanna ride the rails to a high score?" (Second description) |
Available from the start |
Story: When the cast finally arrives at the island, they are welcomed by the locals. As a welcome gift, the cast is given Form Stones, which are said to bring good luck. Wario, unimpressed, throws his away, causing a chain of events, leading to an elephant sending him flying into a shrine at Perspiration Peak Volcano, where he is chased by the Woods Watchers for trespassing.
Later, Wario escapes the inhabitants of the temple, but falls off a cliff. He lands on the same parrot he accidentally hit with the Form Stones earlier. Wario is delighted at his luck, and takes a liking to the Form Stones. He laughs as the parrot carries him off. | ||
Mermaid Meet and Greet Mona Sky Stretch Knight |
"Ciao! I'm Mona! I'm just your typical high schooler from Diamond City. Vacations are all about taking it easy and staring at the waves, right? The Forms Sky Stretch and Knight are perfect for that kinda thing! Come and take a deep dive with me into the ocean and all its wonderful creatures!" (First description) "Ciao! It's me, Mona! Isn't it fantastic that mermaids live in these waters? It'd be amazing to meet them someday! In the meantime, I'd love to show you the Forms Sky Stretch and Knight. Be sure to warm up before you take a dip, and then shoot for a high score!" (Second description) |
Clear Stone-Cold Welcome |

Staff
- Main article: List of WarioWare: Move It! staff
Like its predecessor, WarioWare: Move It! was primarily developed by Intelligent Systems and supervised by Nintendo. Goro Abe, the lead of the series, continued to serve as the chief director. Waki Shigeta, who was the art director for the previous installment, also directed the entire game development. Ko Takeuchi once again worked on the character art and illustrations. The characters' English voice actors from WarioWare: Get It Together! all return except Charles Martinet, who was succeeded by Kevin Afghani. In the credits, there is also a list of the developers’ favorite food.
Promotion
By pre-ordering the game through the My Nintendo Store in Europe, customers received a lunch box.[11]
In Japan, Nintendo ran an ad campaign for the game featuring the comedy duo Chidori.[12][13]
On the day of the game's release, Nintendo released a parodic launch trailer in the form of a "Launch WAHmmercial" on its YouTube channel.[14] This trailer parodies TV infomercials by introducing how the game can help the player through typical life situations. Within the trailer, fake testimonials are made for the game from fake sources such as Toilet Tribute, Dr. W.A. Rio, and Someone Named "Dan". In this scene, some testimonials tease the viewer for pausing the trailer to try to read through them.
Reception
WarioWare: Move It! received generally positive reviews. Critics largely praised its microgames and controls, with some even deeming it better than WarioWare: Smooth Moves. However, the game was also criticized for its scarcity in post-game and multiplayer content, such as the number of minigames and multiplayer modes available.

Release | Reviewer, Publication | Score | Comment |
Nintendo Switch | Shaan Joshi, We Got This Covered | 3/5 | "WarioWare: Move It! offers up plenty of hilarious, colorful, and creative microgames — it's just a shame that players will have to contend with an unwavering dedication to motion controls and a story mode that only lasts a couple of hours." |
Nintendo Switch | Adam Cook, God is a Geek | 9/10 | "WarioWare: Move It! is a hilarious, bonkers game that shouldn’t be missed, and the best WarioWare title since Smooth Moves and the earlier handheld titles." |
Nintendo Switch | Ryan Janes, Nintendo Insider | 7/10 | "WarioWare: Move It! delivers another wild and wacky assortment of microgames that make some of the best use we’ve ever seen from the Joy-Con’s motion functionality. The variety of actions you’ll perform is truly impressive and there’s little denying the quality of ideas on display here. In a package more catered to multiplayer though and with few extras and surprises to distract in the longer term, Move It! isn’t likely to keep the attention of those playing alone for much more than a weekend. Still, WarioWare is just as fun and unpredictable its ever been, even if it is a little lighter in content this time around." |

Trivia
- This is the first game in the WarioWare series to feature a microgame based on a video game in which neither Nintendo or Intelligent Systems is credited as a lead developer, as Fuse Games (later known as Silverball Studios) is credited as the sole developer for Mario Pinball Land.
- Additionally, as Wii Play: Motion had its individual games developed by numerous different developers outside of Nintendo proper, this status technically also applies to its microgame in Move It!, which is based on Skip Ltd.'s Pose Mii Plus.
