WarioWare

Basic Training is a recurring microgame in the WarioWare series. It first appears in WarioWare: Twisted! as Dribble and Spitz's boss microgame and then in WarioWare Gold as Dr. Crygor's boss microgame.

Gameplay[]

The player controls two men on a handcar, and the object is to for them to get out of the cave. The first section involves dodging obstacles, which include blocks and holes. In the second section, a giant boulder rolls after the handcar, and the player has to speed up their movement. The third section involves both dodging obstacles and going at a fast enough speed to avoid being crushed. If the characters reach the end, the player wins, but if they fail to avoid obstacles, the player loses at the microgame.

In WarioWare Gold, although the main controls, mechanics, and obstacles are intact, the microgame has been repurposed from an escape sequence into a race sequence. The player controls a yellow handcar, with the same two men as before, and they now have to race against two other handcars. The object is to reach the finish line first to win. In addition, the game adds an extra mission named All Pumped Up, in which the two men have to reach the goal in Level 3 before the in-game clock reaches 21 seconds.
