Touch and Twist!

only have Wario Ware for GBA (though I've played the GC game). Most of the games, at least after you see them a few times, at least make SOME sort of sense.

Yes, that's pretty much what I was saying. They make sense, at least after you've seen them a few times. Before that you have no clue, and the game doesn't help much.

One game though... I really have no idea what's going on, even in crazy land. That game is... lemme check here.... it's something called "Pro Curling". First off, the name alone makes no sense in the context. It's that one game where you are a guy who is like pushing along something with what looks like a broom. Only, and this MAY be a glitch, the guy is like on it's side, and way in FRONT of the ball or whatever. Took me forever to find out I was supposed to press A over and over to win that thing... Apparently, according to the description, I'm supposed to "sweep it into the goal". Not sure how that works from the position... Anyway, I guess I'm like sweeping debris out of the way so it can keep rolling into the target location? I dunno, but that is the game that makes the least sense...

You've never heard of curling? It's a sport. Played in Canada, among places. It's an ice sport. :) There's a big heavy stone and the player(s) use brushes on the ice in front of it to get it to move forward... you see the stone will go onto the clearer ice (I'm not sure if it's a slightly sloping ice surface or if physics is at play or something)... and get the stone into the goal circle. A very strange sport to be sure, but a real one (and an Olympic sport too). That's what that game is. :)

The whole challenge of Wario Ware is figuring out in a split second what to do. There's no prep time, no time to get exceptionally good at the game. It's all about fast-thinking. That's it. Whether you play the game non-stop or have never touched a controller before, it can still be a tough race.

Ah, that is if you KNOW WHAT THE CONTROLS ARE. If that's true then you are absolutely right. But for people who DON'T know what the controls are for that game... well, think of the game with the Mario-ish guy in the sidescrolling fighting game. You have to mash A to hit the guy into the manhole. But the first time or two you play you'll naturally try to press forward, since forward is generally how you move forward... but the person who knows the game will know what to do and succeed.

This fact doesn't matter in the one-player game, as you just learn, but in multiplay it does.
