WarioWare: Touched! — Getting Started
Learn the touch-screen and microphone basics.
Read the prompt
Each microgame gives a short instruction. Look at the target before moving the stylus; unnecessary movement costs time.
Use the touch screen
Most stages use the lower screen. Keep the upper screen in view for extra information and story scenes.
Listen for microphone challenges
Mike’s collection uses the microphone. A quiet room makes it easier to control when the game detects your breath.
Watch your remaining tries
A failed microgame costs a try. Learn the action you missed and prepare for the next prompt.
Practise in the Album
Return to an encountered microgame to learn its variations without waiting for it in a stage.
Explore the Toy Room
Move souvenirs between the Games area and Toy Room to organise your collection.
The original Nintendo DS game, first released in Japan in 2004 and internationally in 2005. This guide covers the English-language release; regional souvenirs and later re-release controls can differ.
Learn the interaction before chasing score
In a new character stage, focus on recognizing the prompt and making the intended motion accurately. After a miss, remember whether the problem was understanding the object, choosing the right gesture or completing it in time. Those are different practice tasks. Once the action is familiar, later appearances and faster rounds become easier to anticipate without turning every microgame into a frantic experiment.
