Nail Call
Template:Minigame-infobox Nail Call is Mona's boss game in the Strange folder in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, and later returns as her boss game in WarioWare Gold. The name is a pun on the phrase "Mail call."
Gameplay
A nail falls into a board and is held down by a man. A hammer moves back and forth above the nail. The player must press the 
button when the hammer is directly over the nail to hammer it down. If the player hits the edge of the nail, the head will bend. If this happens again in the same direction, the game will be lost; however, if it happens on the opposite side, the nail will be fixed. If the button is pressed when the hammer is too far to the left or right, it will strike the man's hand, hurting him and causing the player to lose. If the player waits too long, the man gets impatient and starts counting down from three. When he reaches zero, the player loses the microgame.

Trivia

- In WarioWare Gold, the man can be seen in the instructions for the extra game mode Cruise Controls.
