Whuzzat? is one of Orbulon's microgames in WarioWare: D.I.Y.

Gameplay[edit]

The player is given a picture, which can either be a cow, a cat, a box, or a bat. There are nine lettered keys that the player needs to tap to spell out the word. The letters in the English version are A, B, C, E, M, O, T, W, and X (in other languages, they differ). When the picture appears, the player needs to spell the three-lettered word that matches what displays on the image. The letters need to be tapped in order (for example, if the picture shows a cat, the player needs to tap C-A-T).

If the player manages to spell the correct word describing the picture, the game is won. If the player messes up or time runs out, it will result in a loss. If the player decides to tap a letter before a picture shows up, the phrase "Hold on, speedy!" appears in the picture box and the game also ends in a loss.

Naming[edit]

"Whuzzat?" is a form of the phrase "what's that?" with less clear enunciation.
