One of the rare cases where the obvious tech demo for the accelerometer try actually to build a game instead of being a mere showcase. The idea of doing each level with a unique concept like Mario (and funnily enough, unlike Kirby platformers) is neat! But their choice of going for the most frustrating and punishing level design they could think make the game a chore (what is really like 90s Kirby games!). Sometimes the game also prefer the weird tech instead of the better design options. Particularly the jump, which is not functionable at all.

I'm glad that this exist but is a very passable game

WarioWare Twisted is the only game that uses the accelerometer that I really enjoyed. I recommend it if you've never played it.

Didn't have the chance to play. I want to play more WarioWare games in general, only played the first one in NSO. I don't have a GBA and this are one of these games i can't emulate on pc, right? When i have the chance i'll definitely play it

@verezap You can play it on PC setting a button on the controller to move the accelerometer left and right, but the game it's not as fun playing this way. I used a mobile GBA emulator, that was the way i played the game. It's the best option unless you can play on a real GBA. Nowadays, everyone has a phone that comes with a built-in gyroscope to emulate the accelerometer, so you just move your phone around as you would with a GBA, and it just works.
