List of quotes in WarioWare: Smooth Moves

The following is a list of quotes in WarioWare: Smooth Moves. The items are listed by order of appearance.

Form descriptions

When first encountering a form in a microgame set, an illustration coupled with a voiceover appears to instruct the player on how to hold the Wii controller.

The Remote Control

• "Hold the Form Baton straight with the tip pointing forward.
  This simple stance reflects one of life's fiercest--and greatest--sports: channel surfing."

The Umbrella

• "Hold the Form Baton vertically, thumb resting lightly in the button.
  Through this stance, you channel quiet dignity of a circus clown in the midst of a thunderstorm."

The Handlebar

• "Turn the Form Baton sideways and grasp the ends firmly in both hands.
  Like riding a bicycle, perfecting this stance requires grace, steadiness, and tight shorts."

The Sketch Artist

• "Hold the Form Baton as you would a pencil during a pop quiz, delicately but defiantly.
  Mastery of this move can change a pop quizee into a pop quizzer."

The Chauffeur

• "Turn the Form Baton sideways and wrap your hands around both ends.
  As the Form Baton turns, so too do the earth and all upon it, from liver to liverymen."

The Samurai

• "With your right/left hand, hold the Form Baton close to your left/right hip.
  Like a hungry samurai defending his lunch, close your eyes and await your enemy's attack."

The Tug-of-War

• "With the Form Baton pointing foward, hold it firmly with both hands just above the navel.
  This stance calls to mind the epic struggle between heads and tails."

The Waiter

• "Place the Form Baton in your palm, tip foward and buttons facing up.
  See youself serving a group of socialities. Such grace, they cry! Such style! Such hors d'oeuvres!"

The Elephant

• "Hold the Form Baton forward with the end lightly touching your nose.
  Just as the mighty elephant uses its trunk to gorge on peanuts, so too will your new nose sustain you."

The Thumb Wrestler

• "Hold the Form Baton vertically and rest your thumb on the top of it.
  The noblest of athletes, the thumb wrestler endures years of training before mastering this pose."

The Discard

• "Place the form baton facedown on a stable surface like an unwanted, but still treasured, playing card.
  Do not touch the Form Baton again until the proper time."

The Big Cheese

• "With the Form Baton at your hip, force your chest and hips foward.
  This stance honors the CEO, unsung hero standing proud on the backs of his employees."

The Janitor

• "Hold the Form Baton with both hands, as you would a mop.
  The left/right hand represents order, the right/left, filth. The Form Baton is the bridge between the two."

The Dumbbell

• "Turn the Form Baton sideways and clutch it from below in your right/left hand.
  True Masters exhibit a firm grip and an exaggerated grimace."

The Mohawk

• "Point the tip of the Form Baton foward and hold it atop your head.
  Letting the Form Baton fall is like letting a mohawk droop: shameful and forbidden."

The Finger Food

• "Holding the back end delicately between two fingers, point the Form Baton foward.
  The regal french fry remains one of nature's greatest muses."

The Boxer

• "Turn the Form Baton and hold it firmly from above in your right/left hand.
  Let the spirit of the noble sucker punch guide you to victory."

The Mortar and Pestle

• "Hold the Form Baton vertically in your right/left hand and cup it gently in the palm of your left/right
  To crush is also to create, and from squashing comes spice."

The Diner

• "Hold the Balance Stone in your left/right hand and the Form Baton in your right/left.
  Stay vigilant. The battle for seconds is always sudden and fierce."

Young Cricket

• "In order to become a kung fu master, you gotta learn lots of secret stances. So far, I've learned the Tug-of-War, the Waiter and the Elephant. I'll show them to you, but you can't tell Master Mantis that I did, OK?"

Ashley

• "Hey, you! I'm Red. I'm Ashley's best buddy. I don't know anything about forms, but Ashley sure does. I think I've seen her doing the Thumb Wrestler and the Discard. Oh, and the Big Cheese is her absolute favorite! Seriously!"

Dribble and Spitz

Penny

Orbulon

The Boxer

• "Compared to the other forms, this is the most relaxed way of holding the Form Baton."
