WarioWare: Smooth Moves is a party video game developed by Nintendo SPD and Intelligent Systems. It is the fifth game in the WarioWare series of games. Like its predecessors, WarioWare: Smooth Moves is built around a collection of microgames that last about five seconds each, and which require that the player hold the Wii Remote in specific positions. The game offers the microgames to the player in rapid succession, by first instructing the player to hold the Wii Remote in a specific manner, and then showing them the microgame. The microgames are divided into several stages, which each loosely connect the microgames with the help of a story.
Emulation Information
Aspect Ratio
Dolphin defaults to 16:9 for Wii games; however, this game only displays in 4:3, causing a distorted image. Change Dolphin's aspect ratio to Force 4:3 to correct this.
This has been fixed; keeping Dolphin's aspect ratio set to auto will display the game in 4:3.
Problems
Wii Remote Sounds
The sounds coming from the Wii Remote do not play in this game while using the HLE audio engine, except for the HOME Menu. Normally, sounds from the Wii Remote should be heard during the various microgames. Use LLE audio to avoid this. Refer issue 11725.
FMV Graphics Errors
FMVs may experience mild graphics errors in some places when Texture Cache Accuracy is set to Fast. To fix this set Texture Cache Accuracy to a setting other than Fast.
Enhancements
16:9 Widescreen
The Widescreen Hack is ineffective with this title. This Gecko code will setup 16:9 rendering.
