Party Popper is one of Wario's microgames found in the Touch Training stage in WarioWare: Touched!. This microgame always appears as the first microgame of the stage on Level 1.

Gameplay[edit]

The objective of the game is to pop all of the balloons on the screen by tapping them, revealing a hidden object.

  • Level 1: The player must pop six balloons in a 3x2 grid.
  • Level 2: The player must pop nine balloons in a 3x3 grid.
  • Level 3: The player must pop twelve balloons in a 4x3 grid.

Objects that can be revealed after popping the balloons include:

  • A jack-o-lantern
  • A recorder
  • A koala
  • A cat tied to a balloon
  • An octopus balloon (which immediately pops)
  • A cow with hearts around it
  • A tiny person attached to a balloon
  • A piece of sushi attached to a balloon

Naming[edit]

The microgame's name is a play on "party popper", an object that releases a loud sound when used, and possibly "party pooper", a term for someone who ruins someone's enjoyment or a joyful mood.
