Ski Jump is one of the microgames in the Sports folder in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!.

Gameplay

A ski slope is seen from a profile view, with a blue, flashing section just before a small drop-off. A skier starts down the hill from the top. The player must press the   button when the skier is on the blue section to make them jump off. If the player presses the button too early, or doesn't press it at all, the skier will fall and roll down the hill, losing the microgame. As the difficulty increases, the target area gets smaller.

  • 1st level difficulty: The blue section is 33 wide nearly taking up a sixth of the in-game screen's length.
  • 2nd level difficulty: The blue section is 23 wide.
  • 3rd level difficulty: The blue section is 13 wide, making it very hard to jump.
