WarioWare: Smooth Moves

On the Wii Menu, when you select the Disk Channel with WarioWare: Smooth Moves inserted, Wario shouts out "It's-a Wii! Wario!", an inversion of "It's-a me! Mario!" from the Super Mario 64 title screen.

The Form Baton, the mystical item that Wario discovers, is shaped like a Wii Remote. After clearing the main story mode, you also unlock the Balance Stone, shaped like the Nunchuk attachment.

Coin Squat

During the pre-story introduction, 18-Volt appears in level 4-2 of Super Mario Bros. (even though it says 1-2 at the top), standing above the ceiling and squatting on the coin tally icon. As unlikely as it sounds, this is based on a popular internet meme in Japan.

Infinite 1UP Trick

Also during the pre-story introduction, 9-Volt appears kicking a shell against a staircase, performing the infinite 1UP trick from Super Mario Bros.

Game Boys

This is followed by each of the characters shouting "Game" and "Boys" – a reference to the Game Boy.

9-Volt's Game & Watch

9-Volt buys a Game & Watch (Donkey Kong), which 18-Volt suggests is a Nintendo DS. The pair squabble over it and break it, so 18-Volt goes in search of a new one.

Rhythm Heaven Monkeys

In 9-Volt & 18-Volt's story, 18-Volt looks for a new Game & Watch in a toy shop. On the shelves behind him are three monkey dolls. These monkeys actually appeared first in Rhythm Heaven on Game Boy Advance, developed by the same team as WarioWare.

The monkeys also appear during the prologue of Young Cricket's story.

The Game Store

In 9-Volt & 18-Volt's story, 18-Volt ends up in a game store. On the shelf behind the shopkeeper are the classic Nintendo toys, Love Tester (1969) and Chiritorie (1979). There is also a poster of Diskun, the mascot for the Famicom Disk System add-on for the Famicom (NES) in Japan.

During the game, the shopkeeper pulls out a ? Block (from Super Mario Bros.) to signal the start of another microgame.

When you clear the story, you can see that the store owner resembles Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo Co. Ltd. During the character credits, he is listed as "Shopkeeper Iwata".

In Penny's intro movie you can see Mr. Game & Watch, the representative of the Game & Watch systems created for Super Smash Bros. Melee.

The 3D Balloon Fight has also been adapted into a full minigame. Using the Nunchuk and Wii Remote together, flap the Balloon Fighter's arms to stay aloft as he crosses the sea. You can steer by flapping just one of your arms in order to grab balloons, and to dodge enemy balloon fighters, the giant fish and sparks. At every 1000 metres you are given a rest and a bonus score.

One of the poses you can collect is a man with his arms raised high above his head. It's called the "Triforce" as it is very similar to the pose Link uses when he collects a Triforce piece in The Legend of Zelda.

During the Sound Test, silhouettes of falling objects can be tapped to hear random sounds. Among the falling objects are Wii Remotes and NES Controllers.
