Tortoise & Hare is a minigame in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, unlocked by beating Orbulon's The Secret of the Balance Stone stage. It is an extended version of the Hare Raising microgame. Its name is a reference to the fable The Tortoise and the Hare; despite this, a turtle is present in the minigame instead of a tortoise, and the description refers to the "hare" as a bunny.

Gameplay[edit]

Gameplay of Tortoise & Hare

The game is played using the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk to wave two flags: a red one and a white one. A hare in the back of stage asks the player to raise or lower a flag, saying things such as "Red! Up!" and "White! Down!". It can also trick the player with things like "Red! Not down!". After some time, a gray hare appears in the background and distractingly waves its flags randomly during the game.

Description[edit]

Raise and lower the red and white flags. You've got to stay on your toes if you want to defeat that evil bunny! Play by connecting the Balance Stone.
