Smooth Moves is absolutely one of the best games on the Wii, and the best possible showcase for the Wii remote and its capabilities. If you really get into it, remove your inhibitions, and immerse yourself in the microgames and the hilarious motions that the game asks you to do, it's an enormous amount of fun, and a surprisingly physically intense, but really damn good time.

i have no body coordination so i definitely wasnt moving smoothly but god i miss this

A lovely although short collection of really fun and goofy minigames. Warioware always suceeds in making me smile and this is no exception. Some minigames or "poses" can be quite bs however i found this entry to be the best in the franchise and the best use of the wii remote on the wii.

A lotta nose picking in this one

Nog steeds mijn favoriete warioware, een echte workout in anderhalfuur. Heel veel goede microgames.


the wii is kinda the perfect system for a game like warioware

It's a fun game but the motion controls doesn't work sometimes.

there are people that don't like this treasure because of its motion controls and while that opinion is incredibly valid i don't have the courage to invite you to parties because frankly i don't think you would be any fun

wiimote waggle, but it's in warioware so it's cool

Every Wario game, well at least the good ones, try to be a very specific kind of odd. It feels like people included mechanics in a lot of these titles because they thought it would be funny above all else. This is the most realized i think that weirdness has ever felt since Wario Land 4. Blending so many styles, so many mediums of drawing and 3d models, it genuinely feels like wario commissioned games at random and shoved them into one product. It is all very manic and I remember laughing as a child at any new minigame I hadn’t seen yet.
If you are someone who hates motion controls via principle I feel so sorry for you.

This was peak WarioWare, they might never make a better

No doubt about it; this is the best WarioWare game. Super charming and great microgames to boot. Here's hoping the next one on the Switch is gonna be any good!

Easily the most fun and creative WarioWare game. So many crazy and novel concepts in this Wii launch game that it’s insane. It never gets old, and that’s saying something since that’s really rare for the genre

wario is funny when he fards lol

Esse é facilmente o MELHOR Warioware existente. Ele usa e abusa da criatividade com o Wii remote, as poses são uma ótima adição ao jogo, deixa ele mais divertido e difícil de enjoar. Jogo perfeito!

stupid fun. may not be the best warioware, but it is my favourite. great memories playing this with friends.

my top favorite WarioWare game. really wish I could play this one again. I own it, but setting up my Wii is not something I can do here. and I need a new nunchuk. and a new Wii remote, really. maybe I could figure out emulation for it someday instead lol

but this game has a real weirdness to it that none before or after have come close to matching, imo. the "forms" are fun, and there's nothing like hearing that guy explain them to you.

very fun, motion controls are a little jank but comes with the territory playing this era of wii games. would prolly be 5/5 if everything actually worked in this game lol

also includes best star fox game since 64

It's a Wii, Wario. What did you expect?

Peak/10

i think this could be the best wii game (not the best game on the wii, that's something different)

*it is kinda weird you have to beat the game to unlock multiplayer, a lot of people don't even know this is a party game??

Utilizes the wiiimote better than any other game on the system. Loads of fun, some of the better microgames in the series. Also the tutorials are hilarious.

WarioWare is silly and fun. Smooth Moves is no exception and greatly utilizes the Wii Remote's capabilities. Recommended if you're looking for a fun party game.

A very solid entry in the wario ware series, not the top due to it being too compromised as a premium experience but not operating under the constraints of a mobile entry and all the charm WW hits with that. Luckily it has a ton of fun modes and side games that make it the best console entry as far as I can tell. And it makes great use of the hardware, probably in the top 5 of wii games in this regard


Fun little minigame extravaganza. A few wonky challenges but most worked well. I loved the cutscenes with all the different characters and it added to the games shallow and nonsensical story. The final boss minigame was brilliant and I smiled all the way through dancing with my angular dance partners. One of the funniest and most enjoyable conclusions to a game’s mechanics that I’ve experienced.

Just to preface this, I played this game with a Wii Remote that had Wii Motion Plus built in, and it played near flawlessly thanks to the built in gyro paired with the IR Sensor. I had a lot of fun, way more immersive and intuitive than I felt with the original WarioWare on GBA or Touched, and I really liked seeing how creative the game got with the many different ways you can hold the Wii Remote to do different movements. The narrator and text accompanying each new style of holding it was also hilarious and got some good laughs out of me.

Smooth Moves also gets props for being the only Wii game I've played so far that's let me comfortably sit in my reclining chair while using the motion controls effectively, even when my cat Cookie decided to sit on me while I was playing. Ironically, her sitting on me coincided with me playing Jimmy T.'s game where a ton of cats follow him through the city, haha.

This is also the first WarioWare game where I seriously took note of the soundtrack. Not that I think previous WarioWare games had bad OSTs mind you, but this one's really hooked me in a lot more ways than I thought it would. Shout out to Penny's minigame themes especially, great techno.

I mentioned this in my Touched! review, but as a big Nintendo fan, 9 Volt's segments are usually some of my favorite parts of these games due to them incorporating actual Nintendo games into their minigames, even moreso this time around due to the game allowing for more true 3D and by that same token, referencing 3D games like Metroid, Wind Waker, Pikmin and more! Really cool.

The motion controls worked pretty flawlessly and I ran into very few minigames where I felt the controls weren't working with me. It definitely helped that my childhood was filled with many times of me playing Wii Sports Resort and sword play to get good at using the Wii Remotes Motion Controls. And as I said before, it was made even nicer by the fact I didn't even need to stand up to do them either.

The only time I had to stand up to use the motion controls properly was for the final boss fight which was a dance off, but it was totally worth it in that instance.

Honestly a fun blast that I wouldn't mind revisiting in the future. It's made me realize why a good amount of people are excited for the return of motion controls with WarioWare Move It! coming to Switch in one week from today. However, given the Switch's motion controls are MUCH more lacking compared to the Wii's, I don't have high hopes that the game will play nearly as nicely as Smooth Moves does with a Wii Motion Plus built-in Wii Remote.

Overall, this was another fun short WarioWare romp that I found more fun than the previous two.

Playtime: 2 hours, 25 minutes.

Wario broke into my house, farted on me and stole my wii. This game is fun
