Although Mario dominates the spotlight, his nefarious rival Wario has managed to achieve success, thanks to Nintendo's WarioWare franchise. This entertaining series, which first debuted on the Game Boy Advance in 2003, challenges gamers to complete bizarre micro games in mere seconds. Not only does the game test reflexes, but it also showcases Nintendo innovations, from the gyroscopically controlled WarioWare: Twisted! to the touch screen shenanigans of WarioWare: Touched! With this latest entry, WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Nintendo has once again reinvented the franchise, this time with the help of the Wii and its motion sensing controllers.

Picking noses, driving cars and blowing up balloons simply provides a small taste of what Smooth Moves has to offer, a game that forces players to complete 200 micro games by holding and twisting the remote in various positions. When held horizontally, gamers use the remote to steer a car or furiously push it up and down to inflate a balloon. With the front pointed towards the screen, the remote functions as a light gun, a spotlight, a hand (push the remote forward to grab a falling woman) and a pool cue. Held vertically, it shifts gears in a car or chops wood, to produce a cute carving of a bird. Combined with the nunchuk and placed directly on the hips -- with one controller on each side -- players use the controllers to jump rope and hula-hoop. People look ridiculous flailing, but they'll have so much fun they won't care. Neither will their friends, who'll immediately jump into the action.

Setting the micro games in a random order helps keep things fresh and exciting. Micro games don't follow specific patterns, meaning gamers may begin holding the remote horizontally, then hold it to their nose, then at their side, then in the palm of their hand and so on and so forth. Thankfully, a narrator informs players which position to take before individual games begin. However, the further they progress, the faster the game gets. Even the announcer speeds up, meaning everyone needs to pay attention in order to understand what he or she must do next.

Aside from the unique controls, Smooth Moves shares many similarities with previous WarioWare games. Like its predecessor, it tells a mildly amusing story. This time, the money grubbing Wario, while wandering inside the Temple of Form -- discovers an ancient Form Baton, which looks like the Wii remote. Eager to cash in on his latest find, Wario exploits the device by incorporating it into his newest set of micro games.
