Drop the Ball is a microgame found in WarioWare: Touched! in the Slightly Unscrewed stage. It is similar to the microgames Tilt-n-Tumble from WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! and Tiltillation from WarioWare: Twisted!

Gameplay[edit]

The objective is to tilt the box for the ball inside to fall through the hole. This game has twice the time to complete.

  • 1st level difficulty: The path is narrow and simple. The player can win by tilting the box slightly in a single direction.
  • 2nd level difficulty: The box is hollower, and the path requires tilting in both directions.
  • 3rd level difficulty: The path to the goal requires turning the box upside down at least once.
