2	The deathmatch {{FPS}} for the whole family!--But in all seriousness, ''Water Warfare'' is a game based on the old-fashioned sport of running around a playground with a squirt gun and water balloons trying to make everyone else get really, ''really'' wet. Which, as it just so happens, ''does'' translate well to the FPS deathmatch format. Whodathunkit?

4	This 2009 UsefulNotes/WiiWare game was made by Creator/HudsonSoft--notably, it's a rarity for Japanese developers to make FirstPersonShooter games. Despite coming from the [=WiiWare=] service, this game is noted for being relatively deep: It has four different maps (eight, if you count the large and small versions of each area), six different match styles, eight different guns, a host of different items, open online play, and even a small character creation system. There's even several single-player missions for the lonely water fighter.

7	!!''Water Warfare'' provides examples of:
8
9	* AffectionateParody: Of FPS multiplayer.
10	* AlliterativeTitle: '''Wa'''ter '''Wa'''fare.
11	* BananaPeel: An item which does pretty much what you'd think it would do--you slide in one direction and can't move for a while.
12	* {{BFG}}: The Water Bazooka. For when you need to hit ''everything.''
13	* BoomHeadshot: Some reviewers criticized (or at least negatively noted) the lack of these and other detected hits in this game... But when you think about it, [[FridgeLogic how would that even work? You don't get wetter.]]
14	* CaptureTheFlag: Or treasure chest, in this case.
15	* CityOfCanals: The Plaza map seems to be set in one of these, though the canals are rather... shallow. (Shallow enough that you won't get wet crossing them.)
16	* CoveredInGunge: The "Sticky Juice" item, which slimes down your enemies and makes them move more slowly.
17	* DeathMountain: The Nature Park map seems to be partially this.
18	* DualWielding: Picking up a second pistol or submachine gun when you already have one results in you carrying them ''both'' around. Anhialate!
19	* GreenHillZone: The Playground has aspects of this, mixed with ToyTime.
20	* LethalJokeItem: Do ''not'' mess with the Squeaky Hammer.
21	* LighterAndSofter: On the whole FPS genre!
22	* NitroBoost: The Roller Skates.
23	* NonLethalKO: Quite possibly gone all the way to the other direction in terms of strangeness--being wet enough knocks you out, but how?
24	* PalmTreePanic: The Beach map.
25	* RandomEffectSpell: The Surprise Device. Surprise! pans fall from the sky
26	* RandomlyGeneratedLevels: Each map's features are randomly generated each time you play. Though some features are generally consistent (the Beach always has an island, Playground always has hills, Plaza has a central canal, and Nature Park has a big pool), the rest is placed randomly based on map size, game type, number of players, and the general whims of the RandomNumberGod.
27	* RegeneratingHealth: Quite possibly one of the few [[JustifiedTrope inherently logical]] uses of this trope--damage is based on how wet you are, so it stands to reason you would dry off over time.
28	* SchmuckBait: 90% of the time, the geysers in the Nature Park will have items parked directly on top of them. Just getting ''close'' to the geysers, though, is a risk of getting drenched.
29	%%* SplashDamage: [[IncrediblyLamePun Wop wop waaah.]]
30	* StealthBasedMission: A few of them in Mission Mode--goals range from just getting to the end to retrieving a treasure chest.
31	* ToyTime: The Playground's various toys and doodads give it an appearance similar to one of these levels, if with some GreenHillZone mixed in.
32	* VirtualPaperDoll: You can design your own character, to a limited extent.
33	* WaterGunsAndBalloons
