Basics
During each game of Wibble Wobble, players link the Wib Wobs (Yo-kai bubble heads) together to create bigger Wib Wobs then popping them. Players link them by dragging the identical Wib Wobs that are next to each other. Linking the Wib Wobs create bigger ones that do more damage when you pop them. Popping Wib Wobs in rapid succession create combos that increase damage. Aside from damaging enemies, popping Wib Wobs also fill Soultimate Move Meters and linking Wib Wobs will fill Fever Time Meter. The bigger the popped Wib Wob, the greater the effect. Players win the match by damaging and defeating all of the enemies before they can deplete your HP to 0.
Players battle through stages. Each stage features one or more enemies that players have to defeat to unlock the next stage. Occasionally, after completing a stage, the stage's Yo-kai will befriend the player. Afterwards, player can incorporate that Yo-kai into his or her team.
Mechanics
Tribes
When you have 2 or more of Yo-kai of same Tribe on your team, you get a boost to their Attack and HP. The more of the same Tribe you have, the greater the effect, 2 Yo-kai get 10% while 5 get 30%.
There are 8 Tribes in Yo-kai Watch. Each Tribe is either more compatible, less compatible or neutral with another Tribe. Your team's Tribe compatibility affects the amount of damage you do to your enemies. Your Wib Wob does more damage if there is a member of a compatible Tribe on your team and does less damage if there is a member of incompatible Tribe on your team.

Combos
Combos are achieved by popping size 2 or larger Wib Wobs within 3 seconds of one another. When you pop a size 2 or larger Wib Wob, you start a combo chain. You can 3 seconds to pop another size 2 or larger Wib Wob to continue the chain. The longer the chain, the more bonus damage the Wib Wobs deal when you pop them.
- To combo correctly you need to create large Wib Wobs then pop them within the 3 second window.
- Stringing really large Wib Wobs (6+) can cause you to lose the Combo because of the animation of the Wib Wobs linking together.
- When you use a Soultimate move, keep a large Wib Wob ready to activate it right after the move to keep the Combo going.
- You do not break the combo by accidentally popping a size 1 Wib Wob, as long as you immediately pop a size 2+ within the 3 second window.
Big Wib Wobs
Players can create larger Wib Wobs by linking multiple smaller Wib Wobs together. You can only link Wib Wobs that are next to each other. Popping large Wib Wobs not only do more damage to the enemies but also fills up the Fever Time meter and Soultimate Move meter far faster. Popping large Wib Wobs fills up the meters faster than Combo-ing.
Fever Time
Fever Time meter is filled when you link the same Wib Wobs together. When the meter is filled, you can unleash Fever Time.
During Fever Time, time is paused and enemies will not attack you. All of your actions earn you additional score and do extra damage. Your attacks (popping Wib Wobs and unleashing Soultimate Moves) are stacked and are unleashed at the end of Fever Time as one powerful strike. If you're facing multiple opponents, Fever Time attack will damage all of them. Use Attack-based Soultimate Moves during Fever Time to do massive AoE damage.
Soultimate Moves
Soultimate Moves are special abilities used by a Yo-kai when its Soultimate Move meter is filled. Different Yo-kai have different abilities. Some will attack and damage enemies, other will heal your HP. Some increases your score while others boosts your Y-Money earned. Knowing what the Yo-kai's Soultimate Move is and when to use it is crucial to optimize your playstyle.
Soultimate Move meter is filled when you pop Wib Wobs of that specific Yo-kai. Popping a very large Wib Wob will greatly fill the meter.
When you befriend the same Yo-kai multiple times, you get get extra Yo-kai, instead your Soultimate Move's rating increases.
Bonus Ball
When you pop a large Wib Wob, there is a chance of a Bonus Ball dropping. When popped, Bonus Ball increases the size of all nearby Wib Wobs. Size 11 or higher Wib Wob will guarantee to drop a Bonus Ball. Larger Wib Wobs drop larger Bonus Balls.
