Nintendo's Wario Land Shake isn't the first motion-sensitive Wario game. Semi-old timers may remember the Gameboy Advance title Mawaru Made in Wario from 2004 which was packaged in a cartridge that included a "rotate" sensor to detect movement. Instead of using the D-pad to maneuver, players moved the Gameboy itself in twisting motions.In Wario Land Shake, players hold the Wii Remote horizontally and use the d-pad to move Wario across side scrolling levels. The "1" button causes Wario to hurtle forward while the "2" button makes him jump. The game mechanics also demand the occasional motion-fueled Wii Remote shake to perform certain actions to help Wario out. There's an up-and-down motion and a side-to-side rocking motion as well to make Wario perform special moves to conquer foes and obstacles alike. By shoving the Wiimote up and down abruptly, Wario slams his fist onto the ground which causes the entire world to shake. He's powerful like that. Since Wario is a world traveler, he'll traipse through the the desert, swim in the sea, spelunk through underground caverns, and even wander through the jungle and swing on vines. A number of vehicles may also be operated by Wario for added variety in mobility. «NCS Game Notes»
