Shoulder Tap is one of Jimmy T's microgames played during the Jimmy Coaster stage in WarioWare: Snapped!

Gameplay

Before the microgame begins, the player is required to make use of the Nintendo DSi camera and line up their head and fists with the picture in the center and sides of the screen.

The player will find themselves behind an elderly woman, as they would have to shake their fists up and down in order to massage the senior's shoulders. This action needs to be performed five times to win the microgame; when done so successfully, the woman will thank the player and turn around to offer them some wrapped candy. When no shoulder massaging is being detected for a couple seconds, the woman turns around dejected, while tapping her own fist on her shoulder as an instruction to the player.

After the five microgames of the Jimmy Coaster have been cleared, a slideshow comic made out of of candid pictures of the player during gameplay of each microgame can be viewed, re-contextualized for the comic's story. The photo for Shoulder Tap gets a specific scenario depending on which panel of the comic it's shown as, determined by the order the microgame was played in:

• The Big Job: First panel. The player's character approaches a mob boss as they apply for a job at him.
• The Boss's Secret: First panel. The player's character, the boss's wife, wakes up her husband. In the American English version, she asks where he was last night, to which he responds that he was "playing games with the guys". In the British English version, the wife just tells him "good morning" as he groans.
• Yoo-hoo! It's Katie! (EU: Yoo-hoo! It's Katrine!): Second panel. The player's character, Katie (Katrine in the British English version), realizes she has overslept and is hurrying before she'll be late for school.
• Head over Heels for Harvey: Fifth panel. The player's character, a lovestruck girl, throws a furious tantrum after realizing Harvey has tricked her. She call him awful, but admits she still likes him.
• Billy and the Love Beans: Fifth panel. The player's character, Billy, now lovestruck with the merchant due to the love beans, chases the merchant as they run away, yelling that he was supposed to let the girl eat the beans.
• Jack and the Beans' Attack: Second panel. The player's character, after eating the beans, realizes she's grown to an enormous size.
• Ninja School: First panel. The player gets ready for ninja training with Kat & Ana.
• Group Photo: First panel. Wario announces it is time for a group photo, as the player gets ready.
