The Form Baton is the most important object in WarioWare: Smooth Moves. Wario stumbled in on this mysterious device in a place called the Temple of Form. He soon finds out that how one uses it depends on the way one holds it. Then, he goes off and shares it with his friends at WarioWare. It turns out that that is how the real person must use the Wii Remote to play the game. (Interestingly, in-game instructions actually refer to the Wii Remote as the "Form Baton".) The Form Baton also has a Nunchuk counterpart, the Balance Stone, shown in the final stage of the game.
Forms
Forms, as the name implies, are the modes of holding the 
Form Baton (Wii Remote) in WarioWare: Smooth Moves. The forms are introduced by the Form Explanation, which acts as an often comedic tutorial of how to use each form. Each form is used for certain microgames in the game. Below is a list of forms (and compatible microgames) in order of their appearance:
The Remote Control
Descripton
Hold the Form Baton straight with the tip pointing forward.
This simple stance reflects one of life's fiercest--and greatest--sports: channel surfing.

Button and the index finger on the 
Button.
Microgames
The Umbrella

Through this stance, you channel quiet dignity of a circus clown in the midst of a thunderstorm.
Hold Mode
Just like The Remote Control, the should be with the thumb in the button and the index finger in the button, but it should be pointing up.
Microgames
The Handlebar
Descripton
Turn the Form Baton sideways and grasp the ends firmly in both hands.
Like riding a bicycle, perfecting this stance requires grace, steadiness, and tight shorts.
Hold Mode
With the sideways, hold it with both hands facing down. Buttons facing up.
Microgames

As the Form Baton turns, so too do the earth and all upon it, from liver to liverymen.
Hold Mode

Trivia
- The way when Wario takes the Form Baton is similar to one of the events from the movie Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, in which Indiana Jones takes the golden idol out of the Lost Temple and gets chased by a boulder, one of the temple's obstacles.
- Many form explanations were changed in the American version, as The Umbrella was originally Taki-nobori (climb waterfall), The Handlebar was originally known as Ryo-nigiri (a food), among others, modifying also the picture background. But some as The Big Cheese and The Thumb Wrestler stayed the same.
