The deathmatch [[FPS]] for the whole family!--But in all seriousness, '''''Water Warfare''''' is a game based on the old-fashioned sport of running around a playground with a squirt gun and water balloons trying to make everyone else get really, ''really'' wet. Which, as it just so happens, ''does'' translate well to the FPS deathmatch format. Whodathunkit?
 
This [[Wii WareWiiWare]] game was made by [[Hudson Soft]]--notably, it's a rarity for Japanese developers to make [[First-Person Shooter]] games. Despite coming from the [[Wii Ware]] service, this game is noted for being relatively deep: It has four different maps (eight, if you count the large and small versions of each area), six different match styles, eight different guns, a host of different items, open online play, and even a small character creation system. There's even several single-player missions for the lonely water fighter.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Of the FPS genre.
* [[Banana Peel]]: An item which does pretty much what you'd think it would do--you slide in one direction and can't move for a while.
* [[BFG]]: The Water Bazooka. For when you need to hit ''everything.''
* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: Some reviewers criticized (or at least negatively noted) the lack of these and other detected hits in this game... But when you think about it, [[Fridge Logic|how would that even work? You don't get wetter.]]
* [[Capture the Flag]]: Or treasure chest, in this case.
* [[City of Canals]]: The Plaza map seems to be set in one of these, though the canals are rather... shallow. (Shallow enough that you won't get wet crossing them.)
* [[Covered in Gunge]]: The "Sticky Juice" item, which slimes down your enemies and makes them move more slowly.
* [[Death Mountain]]: The Nature Park map seems to be partially this.
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Picking up a second pistol or submachine gun when you already have one results in you carrying them ''both'' around. Anhialate!
* [[Green Hill Zone]]: The Playground has aspects of this, mixed with [[Toy Time]].
* [[Lethal Joke Item]]: Do ''not'' mess with the Squeaky Hammer.
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: On the whole FPS genre!
* [[Nitro Boost]]: The Roller Skates.
* [[Non-Lethal KO]]: Quite possibly gone all the way to the other direction in terms of strangeness--being wet enough knocks you out, but how?
* [[Palmtree Panic]]: The Beach map.
* [[Random Effect Spell]]: The Surprise Device. Surprise! *pans fall from the sky*
* [[Randomly Generated Levels]]: Each map's features are randomly generated each time you play. Though some features are generally consistent (the Beach always has an island, Playground always has hills, Plaza has a central canal, and Nature Park has a big pool), the rest is placed randomly based on map size, game type, number of players, and the general whims of the [[Random Number God]].
* [[Schmuck Bait]]: 90% of the time, the geysers in the Nature Park will have items parked directly on top of them. Just getting ''close'' to the geysers, though, is a risk of getting drenched.
* [[Splash Damage]]: [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Wop wop waaah.]]
* [[Stealth -Based Mission]]: A few of them in Mission Mode--goals range from just getting to the end to retrieving a treasure chest.
* [[Toy Time]]: The Playground's various toys and doodads give it an appearance similar to one of these levels, if with some [[Green Hill Zone]] mixed in.
* [[Virtual Paper Doll]]: You can design your own character, to a limited extent.
* [[Walk It Off]]: Quite possibly one of the few [[Justified Trope|inherently logical]] uses of this trope--damage is based on how wet you are, so it stands to reason you would dry off over time.
* [[Water Guns and Balloons]]
