WarioWare Twisted!
Wario’s thrown a temper tantrum while playing his Game Boy Advance, and gone
and broken it! He heads off to the manic Dr. Crygor’s lab to get him to fix
it. But what happens instead is that hundreds of Game Boy-like systems are
created, with no buttons and an addictive tilt control! Wario’s gonna be even
richer than ever before when he sells this!
WarioWare Twisted! is the sequel to the sleeper hit WarioWare Inc.: Mega:
Microgame$!. It includes a built-in rumble pack and gyro sensor which the
games have been designed around. Over two hundred five second games are hurled
at the player as they make their way through the stage, trying to figure out
what to do with a short description like “Play!”, “Avoid!” or “Digest!”. Each
stage has a random game thrown at you, with a short time to complete it. Fail
it, and you lose one of your four lives. Lose all four and it’s game over.
Pass enough games, and you’ll get told “FASTER!” and the games start coming at
you at a quicker speed. Finally, you’ll encounter a Boss Stage, which has no
time limit and is tougher to beat.
Each character’s stage is based around a different ‘theme’. Mona’s games
require you to make only a small spin to pass them, Jimmy T.’s games need a
consistent rhythm to play, Kat and Ana’s games simply need the use of the A
Button, Dr. Crygor’s games involve changing gravity itself, while the Nintendo
nerd pair 9-Volt and 18-Volt have a set of Nintendo games which use all of the
different styles of play from the other game sets.
Twisted! also has a huge amount of novelty unlockables to collect. Once
you’ve played through Story Mode, you can replay the games again for a higher
score and bonus toys. Whenever you beat a Boss Game after completing Story
Mode once, you’ll be prompted to spin to get a bonus prize. This prize could
be as simple as a light wand that you shake to see a picture, or a small
arcade-style game involving sewing or rolling a cat around the floor while
shooting bugs.
