Get into poses called “forms,” including the chicken (like Ba-KAW) and confident Fashionista, then get it moving. You can even battle it out with up to four players* locally in Party Mode, where you’ll race to reach the goal without getting caught by Medusa or take on a dicey board game with Wario’s very own rules. Move alongside your friends in these laugh-worthy contests where everyone can get excited! The WarioWare: Move It game is available Nov. 3.
