Tortoise & Hare is a minigame in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, unlocked by beating Orbulon's The Secret of the Balance Stone stage. It is an extended version of the Hare Raising microgame. Its name is a reference to the fable The Tortoise and the Hare.
Gameplay
The game is played using the and the to wave two flags: a red one and a white one. A hare in the back of stage asks the player to raise or lower a flag, saying things such as "Red! Up!" and "White! Down!". It can also trick the player with things like "Red! Not down!". After some time, a gray hare appears in the background and distractingly waves its flags randomly during the game.
Description
Raise and lower the red and white flags. You've got to stay on your toes if you want to defeat that evil bunny! Play by connecting the Balance Stone.

Trivia
Strangely despite the minigame’s name as well as the Minigame’s description, there is no tortoise, and the player controls a hare despite the microgame saying that the player has to beat that evil bunny.
