Gamer (title)

Gamer is a game mode in Game & Wario, hosted by 9-Volt & 18-Volt. This game mode is similar to traditional WarioWare games in that the player completes microgames. The twist is that your TV screen displays 9-Volt's bedroom and he must avoid getting caught by his mother, 5-Volt. In WarioWare Gold, the mode returned as Sneaky Gamer.

Premise[]

9-Volt and 18-Volt are taking turns playing the Balloon Fighter game, beating each other's highscore when 5-Volt comes in and tells them to stop and do their homework. After finishing their homework, they go to get the device back, only to discover 5-Volt has more than doubled their score at an insurmountable 100.

Gameplay[]

The Wii U GamePad is structured like a typical WarioWare game using the D-pad and the A button to control the microgames. The player has 4 lives and can regain one each time the player beats the boss stage. Losing all 4 balloons will result in a game over.

As the player is playing on the gamepad, they must look up at the TV to see if 5-Volt is around. If the player gets caught, the player will receive a game over. To hide, the player presses both ZR and ZL to go under the covers. However, if 9-Volt stays under the covers too long while 5-Volt is not there, he will use up the meter at the top of the TV. If that meter hits 0, 9-Volt will fall asleep and the player will get a game over. 5-Volt mainly looks in from the window, opens the bedroom door or leans out of the TV though there are also fake-outs for each of these. There is a chance that 5-Volt will stay in the room and watch TV and the player can play while the TV is on.

In the 18-Volt mode, the player only has to keep playing the games with no 5-Volt mechanic, removing most of the tension.
