Ashley (minigame)

Ashley is a minigame hosted by Ashley and Red in Game & Wario. It is a single player game

Story
At her mansion, Ashley reads a book and eventually comes across a page depicting monsters and a surreal landscape. The illustration catch her interest and she decides to cast a spell to be materialized inside the book page. However, as she performs it, a gust of wind turns the book to a page depicting desserts. Ashley and Red are then transported inside the dessert-themed page. Red is pleased by this development, but a furious Ashley orders him to transform into a broom in order to escape the dessert world.

Gameplay
The game is a horizontally-scrolling shoot 'em up. Movement is controlled by angling the upward and downward. The objective is to progress through the levels while collecting purple candies and presents, and shooting floating pastries with magic blasts. Collecting items give points, and progressing without being hit increases the score multiplier. In addition to shooting magic blasts, Ashley can collect spell orbs, which when activated, destroy every enemies on-screen and collect any item present. A certain number of points is needed in order to get "Best Buddy" status after completing a level.

Ashley can be hit an unlimited number of times, but being hit substracts points and resets the multiplier. Additionally, if she is hit too many times in a row, the scrolling stops and the player will have to pat her on the head via the GamePad's screen in order to continue.

At certain points, the player is prompted to select between two paths. There are three stages in total, each of which conclude with a boss battle.

Once the player has cleared the game, stars are added to the levels.
