Once upon a time there was a small, peaceful island protected by the crystals of fire, earth, water and light. On this island lived a white mage named Shirma, a black mage named Croma and a farm full of cheerful chocobos. Just when it looked like everybody was going to live happily ever after, Croma bought back a mysterious book from his latest journey. Without thinking twice, he opened the dark tome and inadvertently invited misfortune upon the island. Every nearby chocobo was sucked into the magical pages of the wicked book. Unbeknownst to all, Darkmaster Bebuzzu, who had once laid waste to nearly the entire world, had been sealed inside the pages of the book. Luckily for the good guys, his strength was not fully restored… at least, not yet. You will take the role of an unlikely hero, a chocobo, who must rescue his friends while stopping Darkmaster Bebuzzu from regaining his lexicon of devastating powers.

Wario is the star of the show in this inventive platform game that utilises the full capabilities of the DS, including the Touch Screen and stylus as well as the microphone. Wario is a man of many talents and in this game it’s all about making the most of a host of disguises, each with their own special abilities, as our fiery-tempered hero enters his TV to search for the legendary Wishstone which promises to grant the holder’s wishes. All the wacky humour you’d expect from a Wario title combines with rich gameplay to make a platformer like no other.

Beginning as a thief, Wario will unlock seven more disguises throughout his adventures. The stylus allows you to switch disguises on the fly, by drawing symbols on the Touch Screen. A circle around Wario’s head will transform him into a helmet-wearing spaceman who can fire powerful laser beams. At other times, artistic abilities might be called for and you can change into Arty Wario who sports a fetching beret and can paint new blocks to reach previously inaccessible areas. Or don your cape to become a superhero by the name of Wicked Wario and blow into the DS microphone to fly into the air. When Wario is involved, nothing is predictable, but join him on his quest and fun is guaranteed!

Contoured to perfectly fit a player’s hand, the Nunchuk controller builds on the simplicity of the Wii Remote controller and goes an extra step to meet the needs of gamers. The Nunchuk controller connects to the Wii Remote controller at its expansion port and is used in conjunction with the Wii Remote controller. The Nunchuk controller contains the same motion-sensing technology enabled in the Wii Remote controller but also includes an analog stick to assist in character movement. In several games, players will use the analog stick of the Nunchuk controller to move their characters and the Wii Remote controller to perform a specific action, whether that’s throwing a pass in football or aiming a ranged weapon in an action game. Along with the analog stick, the motion-sensing Nunchuk controller also contains two buttons positioned for quick access. Because the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers are only relatively dependent on each other, players are free to hold them in whichever hand is most comfortable. The ambidextrous nature of the Wii controllers grants accessibility seldom seen in game controllers.
