Cracked Up is one of Ashley's microgames in WarioWare: D.I.Y.

Gameplay[edit]

The goal of the game is to crack open an egg over the frying pan. There are three eggs in total, which float around on the screen; only one egg can be tapped. The game is won if the player manages to crack one of the eggs open into the frying pan. However, if the cracked egg falls outside of the pan or if time runs out, the game ends in a loss.

Naming[edit]

"Cracked Up" may come from the phrase "all it's cracked up to be", meaning "as good as reputation would suggest", or from "cracking up".
