## Inspiration / Research
### Wii Play
Wii Play is a game consisting of nine smaller mini-games, each of which can be played in single player or in versus mode with two players going head to head.
In the Tanks! minigame the player pilots a tank from top-down. In the single player mode the player has a total of 100 levels to be played with increasing difficulties of enemies.

Another mini-game in Wii Play was Shooting Range. In this game discs would be thrown through the air and players would have to aim and shoot these discs out of the air.
Find Mii was a minigame in which players had to find certain mii's out of a crowd based on some sort of characteristic. Such as find the two matching mii's, locating the fastest moving character, etc. Choosing the incorrect mii would reduce the time left on the timer

### WarioWare
Warioware is a game which is a collection of **microgames**. Each of these microgames consist of a simple one or two word instruction such as **dodge**, **collect**, **spar**, **grab**. These instructions give an idea about how the user should play the game without being a tutorial or giving away a solution.
>[!NOTE] Example Microgame
>![WarioWare Microgame Example](warioware.png)
Warioware includes 9 stages with 210 total microgames. Stages are unlocked by beating previous stages boss levels. The boss levels are a microgame unique to each level that is more complex than the others.
