Emoticube is one of Mona's microgames in WarioWare: D.I.Y.

GameplayEdit

The goal of the game is to stop the cube on the smiling face. To do so, the player has to watch the cube carefully and tap the Stop button when the right face appears. If the wrong face is selected or time runs out, the game ends in a loss.

NamingEdit

"Emoticube" is a portmanteau of "emoticon" and "cube".

NotesEdit

  • If the player stops the cube the frame before it starts rotating to the red angry face, the loss animation will bug out, with another cube partway turned to the angry face descending from the screen and shaking in front of the previous cube. This occurs because two of the objects responsible for the "wrong" faces fail to swap before the other shakes, resulting in the previous object lingering while the other roams into place from off-screen.[2]
