The chart for the 16 minigames.
The game makes full use of the Wii U GamePad controller, as it includes minigames that require players to use the controller's touch screen. Players must play a variety of minigames to earn medals and bonus items.
Single-player
- Arrow: A shooting minigame that requires players to use a bow and arrow to shoot the on-screen Tiny Wario robots. The minigame is played by holding the Wii U GamePad vertically, aiming at the television screen, and using the touch screen to draw and fire the arrow at the enemies. If the Tiny Warios reach the television screen, they will appear on the Wii U GamePad's touch screen, where the player must tap them on the touch screen to make them disappear. A gigantic Wario-like robotic vehicle also appears in the minigame as a boss. The player can also use pepper shakers by tapping the nose on the arrow which can have a bigger impact than the regular arrow[2]
- Ski: A skiing game in which Jimmy T. must ski down the mountain to reach the finish line. Players control Jimmy by holding the Wii U GamePad vertically and tilting it left and right.
- Shutter: In this minigame, players must search the buildings and streets to look for hidden criminals. It is played by holding the Wii U GamePad in front of the television like a camera. Once players take a picture of a criminal, they must tilt the Wii U GamePad down to send it to the newspaper editor. The newspaper editor will then give the player feedback on the picture and tell the player if they need to improve on the picture they took. The player can take multiple pictures for a better score but they have a limit on how many they can take.[2]
- Patchwork: A minigame that involves cracking a code by solving a puzzle. Gameplay consists of placing patches onto a cloth to eventually create the shape of an object.[3]
- Design: A microgame hosted by Dr. Crygor, where the player must memorize outlines and shapes to redraw them into specfied lengths as accurately as possible. It resembles the E3 2011 Wii U demo "Measure Up".[3]
- Pirate: A microgame involving the player avoiding Wario's attacks, with a pirate theme. It resembles the E3 2011 Wii U demo "Shield Pose". Gameplay consists of Wario giving commands to pirates on his ship and other ships to shoot arrows at the player. These commands can vary between him saying left, right, center or over. The player must move their gamepad in the corresponding directions in rhythm with the music to dodge the attacks.[3]
- Gamer: A game with a similar gameplay to the WarioWare games, playing microgames in the Wii U GamePad. Gameplay consists of pausing the game with the ZL or ZR buttons whenever 9-Volt's mother (5-Volt) is about to come into his room. If the player fails to do this or loses all their lives, it will result in a game over.[4]
- Kung Fu[5] In this minigame, Young Cricket automatically jumps off each platform after he lands on one. The player must tilt the Wii U Gamepad to move Young Cricket above platforms while he's in midair. The player can also press the ZL or ZR buttons to make him ground pound and quickly land on a platform. The player can also collect dumplings for extra points.
- Taxi: In this minigame, load a customer in the taxi and take them to their destination route, while shooting the UFOs, which are trying to kidnap them, with a bazooka. The TV displays an overall map, while the Gamepad is used to aim and shoot[6].
Multiplayer
- Fruit: This minigame requires 2-5 players to play. In the minigame that takes place in a small town filled with lots of people, one player must use the Wii U GamePad to control a character on-screen and steal fruit that are found all over town without the other players knowing. Afterwards, the other players must take the Wii U GamePad and try to identify the thief.
- Sketch: Similar to pictionary, this minigame consists of one player using the Wii U Gamepad to draw an object that the game has given the name of while the others guess what object they think it is but, this one has a few gimmicks that make it unique.[5]
