Fouttaf Score
Dimension: 3
One of the games that debuted in the Wii's launch catalog. With a hyper-casual focus, it was a title meant to showcase the gameplay capabilities of the Wii and its controller, resulting in a mix of various minigames wrapped in Nintendo’s signature style.
The Flair: D
The presentation of the minigames themselves can come off as very crude, but that’s part of what makes some of them so funny and absurd. On the other hand, everything from the menus, the map, and the stories for each section – and generally the rest of the game – is truly excellent, both visually and in terms of sound.
The Feel: D
The way the minigames are presented works very well, with a series of levels that have a limited number of lives you can lose and a maximum score to achieve. The simplicity of the minigames, combined with the various ways you can hold the controller, results in a very fun and thrilling chaos, which is undoubtedly one of the game’s strongest points.
The Fuel: D
Although the single-player mode is very short, the little stories in each level are very charming, and the number of minigames to discover is dizzying. Some are especially fun, while others are more hit-or-miss. The modes that unlock as you progress through the story, although nothing extraordinary, are well thought-out and add some hours of content once you’ve finished the main game.
Excellent

Classic Score
Conclusions
WarioWare: Smooth Moves is an excellent and lighthearted title that not only maximizes the Wii’s most fundamental feature but also does so in an incredibly accessible and fun way. Although it’s a short game with limited replay value, we consider it a must-have for fans of the console.
