In this adventure players will use the Wii remote and hold it sideways classic controller style. And by shaking the controller, Wario will perform some on screen actions such as shaking items or tilting left and right to maintain balance.

Whats also cool about this Wario title is the arts style that developers/creators chose for the game; which you can see is a more animated/anime style.
