Between each set, the player can select a map icon named "[[Temple of Form]]" to practice unlocked microgames, which are grouped by both microgame sets and forms. Unlike previous ''WarioWare'' games, the player cannot set scores for individual microgames as the session automatically ends after going through each difficulty level.

In addition to the stages played during the storyline, there is a handful of microgame mixes with special characteristics. None of these sets feature games from [[Orbulon]]'s set.

==Regional differences==

Similarly to previous installments in the series, the localization of ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' includes not only text adaptation, but graphical and sound changes as well, which are listed below.

===Forms===

}}

===Microgames===

*In the Japanese and Korean versions, the microgame speed-increase prompt says "Speed Up!", while in the English version, it says "Faster!", similar to ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]''

*In the first level of [[Stir Crazy]], the Japanese version has the player grinding rice for soba. This was changed to grinding herbs for spaghetti in the localized versions.  

*Level 2 of [[Teeth Polithe]] ends with the old woman biting a corn cob, which in the Japanese original is a ''{{wp|senbei}}''. The background and her clothes are also traditionally Japanese in the original, while the localization sets the game at a beach and dresses the woman in a pink jacket and visor.

*In the Japanese version of [[Saving Face (WarioWare: Smooth Moves)|Saving Face]], the woman wears a red dress. Other versions have her wearing a turtleneck sweater and jeans instead.

*In the first level of the Japanese version of [[When in Rome…]], the hands wield {{wp|Lightsaber|lightsabers}}. These were replaced with candy canes for international releases.

*[[Super Nostalgic Entertainment System]] features a [[Family Computer|Famicom]] and Famicom games (''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''{{wp|Duck Hunt}}'', ''{{wp|Tennis (1984 video game)|Tennis}}'' and ''{{wp|Devil World}}'') in the Japanese and Korean versions, which were changed to a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and SNES games (''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Mario Paint]]'', ''[[Wario's Woods]]'', ''{{wp|Pilotwings}}'', and ''[[metroidwiki:Super Metroid|Super Metroid]]'') in other versions.

===Other===

*The music played on the title screen is different in the Japanese version of the game, which uses the [[Temple of Form]] theme. In other editions of the game, the title music is a cover version of the title theme from ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]''

*The note attached to the package Wario got in Tiny Wario's opening cutscene says "From Penny". The "From" part of it is removed in the European version, most likely to accommodate for the fact that the game was released in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish there.

*In the opening and closing cutscenes from Kat and Ana's sequence, the man has a long gray beard in the Korean versions and a samurai ponytail in other versions.

The idea for a ''WarioWare'' game on the Wii came shortly after ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s director, [[Goro Abe]], and producer, [[Yoshio Sakamoto]], first saw the Wii's controller.<ref name="Iwata Asks">[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/warioware_smooth_moves/0/0 Iwata Asks with Abe and Sakamoto]</ref><ref name="PGC">[http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/interview/11588 Interview between Planet Gamecube and Goro Abe]</ref> The game's development started with around twenty people, with others coming and going, but the number remained relatively consistent.<ref name="IGN">[http://wii.ign.com/articles/710/710610p1.html IGN: ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' Interview]</ref> From the start, multiplayer was a big aspect in the development of the game, and the idea was that one person would play the game while the others around them enjoyed the comical positions.<ref name="PGC"></ref><ref name="IGN"></ref> While teams working on other projects were worrying about how to fully utilize the Wii controller, Abe and Sakamoto had great optimism for the system, saying that "If you’ve got one of these Remotes, you can pretty much do anything".<ref name="Iwata Asks"></ref>
