Cormorant Catch is one of Orbulon's microgames in WarioWare: Move It!

GameplayEdit

The microgame uses a pixel-art video game aesthetic. The player controls a cormorant and must catch the fish or crabs with their beak as the human paddles the boat and the creatures are in range. After the fish or crabs are caught, artwork of the cormorant and human appears on-screen, having more detailed art as the level increases.

  • Level 1: The player must catch two fish, which are close to the surface. The water moves slowly and the human is a boy.
  • Level 2: The player must catch three fish, which are slightly smaller and deeper. The water moves a bit faster and the human is a girl.
  • Level 3: The player must catch three crabs, which are even smaller and stand on the seabed. The water moves quickly and the human is another girl.

In multiplayer, one player is the cormorant, and the other is the human, the latter using the "Knight" form. The human must paddle so that the cormorant is above the creature it has to catch, and the cormorant should catch the creature with its beak. There is only one fish or crab to catch.
