Despite being on the [[Wii]] console, the game is a 2D platformer with a play style similar to the rest of the ''Land series''. Though Wario has been shown to use a few of his old 'powerup' moves (such as Snowball Wario), most of the action is performed by Wario's ability to shake his enemies down, which is performed by shaking the actual Wii Remote. This can be used to shake money or garlic out of treasure bags or enemies. It also allows Wario to use a ground pound move to disorient surrounding foes.

The game is broken up into five worlds. Each world contains four normal stages, a secret unlockable stage, and a boss. As in previous ''Wario Land'' games, there are money and treasure chests spread throughout the levels. At the end of each level is an imprisoned [[Merfle]]. Once freed, Wario has to flee to the beginning of the level to escape, similar to the levels in ''Wario Land 4''.

As an extra incentive for replayability, each stage has a number of missions for Wario to complete. These missions can range between beating the stage within a time limit, collecting a certain amount of gold, not getting hurt, defeating a 'golden enemy', or performing some unique task like not defeating any enemies. Accomplishing tasks like those will unlock the stage's music to be listened to in the Media Room.

The story itself is told through animated cutscenes produced by the company Production_I.G., an anime studio noted for their work on series such as ''Ghost in a Shell'', Namco's ''Tales'' series, and ''[[Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance]]''.

''Shake It!'' marked the first installment of the ''Wario Land'' series to have been released on a home console, though an earlier game, ''[[Wario World]]'', had been released on the [[Gamecube]] (as well as multiple games in the ''WarioWare'' series on the Gamecube and Wii). It also marks the return of Captain Syrup, the only one of Wario's antagonists to have appeared more than once. She made her third appearance after having not appeared since 1998 in her last role, ''[[Wario Land II]]''.
