Ski Jumping (souvenir)

Ski Jumping is a souvenir in WarioWare: Twisted! found in the Games section. The game is based on the microgame Ski Jump from WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!. It is unlocked after beating Dr. Crygor's stage. It features a skier in an orange jumpsuit at the top of an incline. Tipping the console to the left angles the hill downward and sends them gliding down the snow. At the end is a glowing ramp that the skier must jump off by pressing. Pressing it too soon causes them to cartwheel off-screen, and not pressing it at all causes them to sharply plummet off-screen. If it is pressed while the skier is on the glowing section, the skier freezes in place and a meter pops up to decide the skier's angle. When the button is pressed, the meter starts at 0° and quickly climbs to 80°, with the skier's angle being decided by when the player lets go of. The meter stops at 80° if the button is kept held. Once in the air, the player can change their angle by tilting the console, making them dip faster or fly longer as they see fit. When they land, their distance (measured in yards) is displayed. If it surpasses a previous record, a fanfare plays while the skier cheers.
