One minigame has players searching for a cell phone signal. ones who can only move by grabbing moving rings. That’s especially notable when it comes to characters who can freely fly around vs. More often, I’d find myself butting up against objectives my character was objectively worse than others at. Get It Together! often asks players to assemble a small team of characters to tackle any given playlist, but there are certain characters that I never even think about using. The ability premise works best when players can accidentally stumble on little aha moments like that. Instead, I found that I could use Penny, who has a water gun, to simply fill its mouth without interacting with its tongue at all. One microgame asks players to push a dog’s tongue up so it can swallow water from a dripping faucet. Sometimes I’d stumble onto a surprising solution that made me feel like a mad genius who had broken the game.

Meanwhile, 9-Volt only skateboards back and forth, shooting a projectile straight up. Wario can freely move across the screen and shoulder tackle obstacles.

The main difference this time around - and it’s a big one - is that the game features multiple characters, each of which has their own special playstyle. Games end in mere seconds, making it a constant barrage of absurd punchlines. The joy of WarioWare is that it doesn’t give players more than a second to process its bizarre visual gags. One minute you’re squeezing ketchup over a plate of spaghetti, the next you’re putting out fires by tilting a peeing cherub statue to the right angle. It’s a fast-paced collection of minigame gauntlets where players have to complete bite-sized challenges in rapid succession. Structurally, WarioWare: Get It Together! is something of a return to form after the Wii U’s baffling Game & Wario. Though it’s hard to ignore how much of a missed opportunity it is too, as it trades in enthusiastic control experiments for a strangely down to Earth character-swapping gimmick.

WarioWare: Get It Together! is a welcome return for one of Nintendo’s most joyfully weird series, bringing some light portable entertainment to Nintendo Switch games. So why was I moving a joystick and pressing A in every game instead? The gyroscopes, HD rumble, and seemingly forgotten IR sensors all feel like features that could have come together to form another intuitive collection of 5-second minigames with creative control schemes. In theory, the Switch is a perfect place for the series. WarioWare: Touched! makes excellent use of the Nintendo DS touchscreen, while WarioWare: Smooth Moves is the rare Wii game that was improved by motion controls.
