Stylus Hunt is one of the microgames in 9-Volt and 18-Volt's Retro Action stage in WarioWare: Touched! (where it is known as Pushing Buttons), and returns as one of 9-Volt's microgames in WarioWare Gold. It involves the handheld consoles Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, and Nintendo DS in Touched!, and various Nintendo 3DS consoles in Gold. In Touched!, its name is a play on the phrase "to push one's buttons", or to take actions meant to provoke others. It is one of the few microgames that use 3D models.

Gameplay[edit]

The object is to press the indicated button (the button with the red circle) to make Wario appear on the screen in Touched!, or to find the stylus to make the 3DS logo appear in Gold. The player has eight seconds to search for the button/stylus.

Wario's appearance as he flies towards the screen resembles his cover artwork from Wario Land 3 (except with his hand making the "V" sign instead of three fingers), while his appearance when he hits the screen resembles his Bubble Wario artwork from Wario Land 4.

  • 1st level difficulty: The button is already shown.
  • 2nd level difficulty: The button is hidden, but it is still easy to find.

  • 1st level difficulty: The front of the system is shown.
  • 2nd level difficulty: The back of the system is shown.
