WarioWare: Smooth Moves - The Loquacious Spell Book (1)

Really, what I intend on doing is finishing off the videos I'll have for this game before I get Sonic Unleashed. It isn't much longer, so here's the sixth stage: "The Loquacious Spell Book," starring the little witch Ashley and her devil friend Red. ("Loquacious," for the record, means "talkative," though in the sense of coming up to people and chattering nonstop. As you'll see here.)

I've heard some people calling Ashley moé-bait, though I don't see why. She's cute, but there's nothing sexual about her. Furthermore, she's proactive and self-asserting. You can see for yourself right here: Ashley wants to turn her little sapling into a carnivorous rose, and looking through a ton of books in her library, she's worn herself out. Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, a spell book comes along and shows her how it's done. And thus, the Microgames commence.

The Microgames here on out strongly encourage you to stand up. The Big Cheese is the most obvious, where you put the Wii Remote at your hip. The Microgames with the Big Cheese mostly involving jumping and shaking from side to side, so you can see where it's getting more physical. Another one is the Discard, where you place the Wii Remote on a non-moving surface. Microgames here are mostly about reaction times or picking something up. Or in the case of the boss stage, both. The third stance is the Thumb Wrestler, where you hold the Wii Remote vertically with your thumb over the infrared detector. That you can do sitting down, if you wish.

As you're watching, be sure to spot the chiseling Microgame--it appeared originally in WarioWare: Touched! And makes another appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

A lot of sounds in this stage come through the Wii Remote. You're missing out on a bunch of stuff by merely watching this video. The one where you pick up the phone, for instance--the ringing comes from the Wii Remote speaker, as do the voices, with lines like, "Can I get a large Mona Pizza..." or "HELP!! HELP MEEE!!"

A careful eye would notice that the color of the bookshelves change each time the Microgames get harder.
