Universal Marionette is one of Mona's microgames in WarioWare: Smooth Moves and returns in WarioWare Gold as one of the Twist League's Intro Games. The background in both versions is a reference to Leonardo da Vinci's drawing "Vitruvian Man".

Gameplay[edit]

The player must deflect the watermelons aiming at the marionette's head with the marionette's limbs. The player loses if the watermelon hits the marionette's head.

WarioWare: Smooth Moves[edit]

If the player loses, the watermelon that hit the marionette knocks the marionette's head off and replaces it.

  • 1st level difficulty: The player must deflect 2 watermelons.
  • 2nd level difficulty: The player must deflect 4 watermelons.
  • 3rd level difficulty: The player must deflect 6 watermelons.

WarioWare Gold[edit]

The marionette is designed after Wario. If lost, the marionette tilts to the side and spins out.

  • 1st level difficulty: The player must deflect 2 watermelons.
  • 2nd level difficulty: The player must deflect 3 watermelons.
  • 3rd level difficulty: The player must either deflect 4 watermelons, or adjust the marionette to fit in a storage case.
