Code Dependency is one of Kat & Ana's microgames in WarioWare: Smooth Moves. It returns in WarioWare Gold as one of Penny's microgames. It is also one of Wario's microgames in WarioWare: Move It! The name is a portmanteau of "code," relating to its gameplay, and "co-dependency," a noun which means to have an unhealthy attachment to another person.
Gameplay[edit]
The player should rotate the object so that the bar code is facing the scanner. As the levels progress, the item becomes more expensive. In Smooth Moves and Move It!, a price number will appear if the player wins the microgame (such as 0.99).
WarioWare: Smooth Moves[edit]
In Smooth Moves, the customer is an old man.
- 1st level difficulty: The player scans a simple object.
- 2nd level difficulty: The player scans a more complex object.
- 3rd level difficulty: The player scans an awkwardly-shaped object.
WarioWare Gold[edit]
In Gold, the customer is a computer, which becomes mad if the player does not scan the item.
- 1st level difficulty: The object is simple.
- 2nd level difficulty: The object either has fake bar codes or has a pattern similar to the bar code.
- 3rd level difficulty: Same as level 1, except that the player has two objects to scan.
WarioWare: Move It![edit]
In Move It!, the cashier is Wario, who is controlled by the player. He holds a scanner in the player's dominant hand and the object in the other hand. The microgame in this game shares its music with Screwed Tight.
- Level 1: The player must scan an apple or a potato, and the bar code is easy to find. The man nods in approval at the very cheap price.
- Level 2: The player must scan a volleyball or a soccer ball, and the bar code is harder to find. The man shows shock at the slightly expensive price.
- Level 3: The player must scan a zebra plush or a black and white hat, which is awkwardly-shaped and has a pattern similar to the bar code, making it very hard to find. The man puts his arms up in shock at the overly expensive price.
