* ''VideoGame/WarioWareMoveIt'' [[note]]''Chō Odoru Made in Wario'' (''Super Dancing Made in Wario'') in Japanese[[/note]] (Switch, 2023): Direct sequel to ''Smooth Moves'', as shown by its Japanese and Korean names. Its microgames are themed around holding and moving the Switch's Joy-Cons in several different ways, differing from ''Smooth Moves'' by using both Joy-Cons at once instead of only one, similar to Orbulon's stage from said game. It also features a co-op mode, similar to ''Get It Together!''.

** In ''Gold'' onwards, if you get a Game Over on your first run through a stage in story mode, the game will allow you to spend some coins to continue from the last game you fell to. This also applies to the boss stages. Once you clear a stage and it turns into an endless version, this option is no longer available.

Doing some touch-ups on my previous edit


* CulturalTranslation: Due to the fact that these games make various references to japanese culture, some changes where made when translating the international versions of these game before [=WarioWare=] Gold:
** One of the microgames from the japanese version of [=WarioWare=] Twisted is called "Goku Swatter" and is a reference to Literature/JourneyToTheWest, specifically the part where Sun Wukong tries and fails to run away frow Buddha's hand. In the international versions however, the microgame was renamed to "Slap Jack!" and it's now a reference to Literature/JackAndTheBeanstalk, with the Buddha being replaced by the giant, Sun Wukong by Jack, and his cloud by the beanstalk.
** In Twisted, there microgame "Middle Management", who originally featured a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daruma_doll#Children.27s_games Daruma Otoshi]], a traditional japanese game. Due to the fact that most international audiences aren't familiar with the game (and also the fact that the original doll had a weird design that would probally confuse those unaware of the toy even more), the design was changed to a clown toy.

Gold, where the games would stay basically the same across both versions:
** Generally, microgames that feature traditional japanese food would be changed into a common western dish, such as Smooth Moves' "Stir Crazy" (changes the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soba soba]] to spaghetti) and "Teeth Polithe" (changes the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senbei senbei]] to a corn cob) and DIY replacing a game about making mochi ("Mochitsuki") to one about putting ketchup on fast food meals ("Ketchup Down")

** The Korean version of the Smooth Moves' microgame "Three's a Crowd" completely changes the context of the game from a ninja who tries to kill a samurai version of Wario while he's sleeping to a monkey trying to steal a banana from Wario while he sleeps under a bunch of them.

** Some souvenirs were also changed between translations. Like for example a statue of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%E1%B9%A3itigarbha Ksitigarbha]] was changed into a garden gnome in Twisted.

* CulturalTranslation: In the Japanese version of ''Smooth Moves'', the Form Baton poses are all very specific Japanese concepts, and KabukiSounds play on the explanation screens while a narrator reads out the descriptions (the comedy being that he's a non-Japanese speaker with a noticeable accent). In the international versions, the poses were changed to more general concepts while keeping the same controls, the music was replaced with a soothing track, and the narrator is very calm and relaxed while [[TheComicallySerious delivering non-sequiturs]] to carry over the humor. For example, two different versions of the same pose:
