| This is a list of characters in the '']'' franchise who have developed and hosted ]. | |||
| {{spoiler}} | |||
| ==9-Volt== | |||
| ] | |||
| '''9-Volt''' is a big Nintendo ], owning everything ever made by Nintendo. His name comes from the operating voltage of the ]. 9-Volt's ] are all microgame versions of classic Nintendo games such as '']'', '']'', '']'', and '']'', or based on toys and products released before Nintendo's transformation into a video game company. Even his "level" is based on the overworlds in '']''. | |||
| 9-Volt is a student at Diamond Elementary School, and usually gets around by way of a hoverboard. He lives at home with his never fully seen mother, 5-Volt, and his pet ]. In '']'', 9-Volt gained a friend and partner in '''18-Volt''', a big kid with a boom box and a shared love for Nintendo. This led to some confusion: ''Touched!'' was the first sequel released in America, but ''Twisted!'' came out first in Japan. | |||
| While no official artwork has been released yet, it has been confirmed that 9-Volt will appear in the upcoming Wario Ware: Smooth Moves for the Nintendo Wii. His microgames will once again be themed around Nintendo games, but it would appear that they will be based on newer games, such as ] and ], as well as the usual retro titles to accommodate the 3D functionality of the ] . | |||
| ==18-Volt== | |||
| '''18-Volt''' is from the games '']'' and '']''. He is ]'s best friend; not his brother, as some have mistakenly believed. He is a large and gigantic player, and when not speaking alongside with 9-Volt, he almost always says "Word". Despite his size, he goes to Diamond Elementary School. His other defining trait is the boom box he always carries; his loud music got him into trouble on his first day of school, although he soon found an admirer in 9-Volt. Like 9-Volt, he loves ]s. In the game, alongside with 9-Volt, their theme is "retro action", so all their games are based on old ] games. | |||
| 18-Volt's manner of speech is a subject of debate; while he speaks normally in his first appearance, his dialogue consists entirely of "Word!" in the following game. | |||
| ==Ashley== | |||
| ]'']] | |||
| '''Ashley''' is a ] in training who lives in a creepy mansion in Diamond City with her grandmother and a little devil named Red. She is very emotionless and has never been seen smiling. She often spends her time trying to make various concoctions with her cauldron, but often has trouble finding the right ingredients. Red spends a lot of his time helping her. Her character resembles that of an evil ]. Nintendo has released artwork of her in '']'', although nothing has been revealed about what she does in the game. She is notable for being the only one of two characters to have lyrics to his or her theme song. | |||
| Ashley is just barely introduced, as she is already found hard at work trying to make something. She then asks for more ingredients, which brings the player to the interactive portion of the intro, which is to drag various ingredients into the cauldron. However, the mixture fails to do what Ashley intended. While this is happening, ]'s ship flys on the top screen and gets hit by lightning, which causes Orbulon to eject. In the following scene, Ashley and Red head out in search of the ingredient they need. As they walk along, Orbulon crashes into Ashley. Orbulon begins to apologize, only to see Ashley looming over him in a very threatening manner, while Red tells her to "chill out." Orbulon starts to run away; Red tries to get Ashley's attention afterwards, only to have Ashley say that Orbulon is the ingredient she needs. Red runs after Orbulon in an attempt to capture him, which brings the player to Ashley's set of games. | |||
| Ashley is voiced by ] in the English version.<!--"voiced by ] in the Japanese version." This is the joke by the Japanese fan, is not fact. There is no official statement in Japan.--> | |||
| ==Dribble and Spitz== | |||
| ] | |||
| '''Dribble & Spitz''' are two developers who speak with ] accents<!--Mega Party Game$ bio-->. They also work as ]s, and their ] has the ability to go anywhere (even space). It is eventually revealed that ] designed the cab. | |||
| '''Dribble''' is a large ] ] with red hair (he wears a hat) who stands on his hind legs. He wears a blue jumpsuit with what appears to be a picture of a teddy bear on the stomache, and a green hat which bears his logo (a D with spots near the curved end, so it looks like a paw). He seems to be a stereotypical taxi driver: large, burly and gruff. In reality, he is quite calm and friendly, though perhaps not as intelligent (e.g., he forgot to collect a very large fare in '']''). He says his rank is space cadet, but Spitz is "lower than a space cadet" in his eyes. | |||
| '''Spitz''' is an anthropomorphic yellow ] who is about the same size as Kat & Ana. He is always squinting, and he wears goggles (pushed up over his forehead) and a blue jumpsuit which seems to be too big for him. He's good at jumping, and he is rather more intelligent than Dribble, though he didn't remember to collect the large fare in ''Mega Microgame$'', either. He also seems to like to play, as in the ] instruction manual, he encourages Dribble to stop working and play a round of games with him. | |||
| Game appearances: | |||
| *''Mega Microgame$'' | |||
| *In ''Mega Party Game$'', Dribble and Spitz have one game, the Milky Way Delirium, in which the player blasts one of a 4-by-5 square of asteroids and mark them for him- or herself. | |||
| *In '']'', their microgames use both the gyro sensor and the A button. | |||
| *In '']'', they made a brief cameo appearance at the end of Mike's stage. Dr. Cygor takes their cab to find Mike and take him home. | |||
| ==Doctor Crygor== | |||
| ] | |||
| '''Dr. Crygor''' is a quirky scientist. His inventions include his (apparently) ] suit; the Gravitator, which turned ] into Wario-Man; the TUNA, which made his body whole; and ], the karaoke robot that would "solve all his cleaning needs". According to the instruction booklet in '']'', he is a hundred years old. | |||
| In ], Crygor ends up drinking his latest development, only to end up in some form of ] distress. He rushes off to the toilet in order to relieve himself. | |||
| In '']'', Wario breaks his ] and asks Crygor to fix it. Crygor throws it into his washing machine-like devise (Gravitator) and both of them wait. However, it malfunctions, turning the GBA into a tilt-sensitive device. Wario uses this opportunity to make a new set of games. | |||
| Game appearances: | |||
| *In the original game, all of Crygor's games involved photo-realistic images. | |||
| *In ''Twisted!'', all of Crygor's games involved "manipulating gravity", doing tasks such as shaking trash out of a bucket. | |||
| *In ''Touched'', Crygor's games required the player to execute a circular motion on a particular portion of the touch screen in order to make something happen, such as building up a snowball. | |||
| ==Fronk== | |||
| The yellow one that 9-Volt kept as a pet is referred to as Shag, which is later changed to the name he is called now, Fronk. In the Japanese version, the species was known as Pixies, and the individual character was called Shaggy. In addition to several varieties of yellow Pixies, there are also red and blue varieties. Their faces also vary from Pixie to Pixie. | |||
| In ''Mega Microgame$'', they show up in a few microgames. They are in ]'s Sole Man, ]'s Find My Behind and ]'s Blow Hole Bridge. He also appeared in 9-Volt's intermissions as his pet and showed up in the 2-player game, Chicken Race. In addition to the single player Microgames in ''Mega Party Games$'', up to 4 pixies were in the 4-player microgame where you have to keep away from a girl who tried to capture you with the mucus from her runny nose. | |||
| In ''Twisted!'', Fronk gets a whole genre to himself. However, unlike the normal flow of the game, his games pop up at random between games of any genre after Kat & Ana's games, although they're more likely to occur in the later levels. | |||
| In ''Touched!'', a small group of Pixies appear in one microgame, called "Shhhhhhh!" which usually occurs between levels that involve blowing, such as some of the games in ]'s and Wario-Man's sets, as well as all of Mike's games. This is not a real microgame in the sense that it does not have a place in the Album; it requires the one does nothing, which serves as a trap to those who blow into the microphone as soon as a microgame begins. | |||
| ==Jimmy T.== | |||
| ].]] | |||
| '''Jimmy T.''' (the T stands for Thang) is a fictional character in the '']'' series of ]. Jimmy is a dancing fanatic, to the point that sometimes he will do so involuntarily, citing that the rhythm makes him do it. Jimmy loves to hang out at hot Diamond City night spots, like Club Sugar, and dance the night away. In ''Twisted!'', he confesses that he likes to sweat a lot. | |||
| In '']'' for the Nintendo GameCube, his girlfriend dumped Jimmy because she believes he loves dancing more than her. He said he didn't, but when he heard the music, he couldn't control himself and started to dance, thereby causing his girlfriend to think he likes dancing more and leave. | |||
| In '']'' and '']'', he represents the ]s genre of microgames. He also hosts the remix levels in ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$'', but has a differently colored wig in each. In '']'' he and his parents are shown dancing at Club Sugar for so long that they miss a meal. In '']'' he and his family hosts the Rubbing (Dance Club Rub) games. | |||
| ===Family=== | |||
| Jimmy's family consists of five people (including himself). The other four members of the family are: | |||
| *Papa T. - The father of the family. He has very large lips, a yellow afro and is the tallest family member. He bears many similarities to Jimmy. | |||
| *Mama T. - The mother of the family. She has a shapely figure, a pink afro and large lips. | |||
| *Jamie T. - A young girl with a light purple afro. Unlike the rest of the family, she has round glasses and a very small red nose. | |||
| *James T. - A pudgy guy with an orange afro. He's the shortest family member, and features a round red nose. | |||
| ==Kat and Ana== | |||
| ] | |||
| '''Kat & Ana''' are two fictional characters, ]-aged ] twins and microgame developers in the ] series of video games. Kat has pink hair with a single ponytail, while Ana has red-orange hair with two ponytails. Their names are derived from ], a weapon occasionally associated with ninja. It was revealed in ''Touched!'' that the two live in an old-fashioned Japanese-style house in a forest. Their parents have yet to be seen. | |||
| According to the manual bios in ''Mega Party Game$'', the two are descended from the Iga ninja clan. They attend Mystical Ninja Elementary, despite attending Diamond Kindergarten in the original ] (this is not unusual; in Japan, kindergartens are separate from elementary schools). They have an affection for animals. As of ''Touched!'', they have four pets: Don the Sparrow (who has not appeared since the original game), Shadow the Dog (who was named Paw in the original, and has the uncanny ability to transform into a giant sword), Shuriken the Falcon, and Nunchuck the Monkey. In terms of personality, Ana is timid, while Kat is a bit more bossy and overall controlling of her sister, though she cares for her deeply. | |||
| They have different themes in each of the games: nature '']''; scribbling and drawing in '']''; and pressing the A button in '']''. | |||
| ==Mike== | |||
| ] | |||
| '''Mike''' is a character who was introduced in '']'' In the game, he hosts a section devoted entirely to blowing into the microphone on ]. | |||
| Mike is a ] ] made by ]. Despite being a robot built for karaoke, the slightly mad doctor programs him to be a cleaning robot. For a while, this works out. However, while Mike is cleaning one day, he comes across a pile of dust and decides to blow it away. When he does this, this karaoke programming takes over and he bursts out of the lab, ready to karaoke. During the opening video, Mike sings a song. Both his and Ashley's theme song are the only songs in the game that have lyrics. | |||
| Soon after Mike beats his competition, Dr. Crygor is flown in by ]. Mike says his goodbyes and they all fly home. Back home, Dr. Crygor wishes to sing a duet with Mike, but as it turns out, Dr. Crygor is not a good singer. Mike insults Crygor's singing, but Dr. Crygor says that Mike's programming was, of course, made by him. Slightly irritated, Mike runs off, and ends up going to the Hawt House like everyone else in the game. | |||
| ==Mona== | |||
| ] | |||
| '''Mona''' is a fictional character from the ] series of video games. She was established in the original game as a ] student with a ] job (plus her work designing microgames for WarioWare, Inc.). | |||
| In '']'', Mona started out working at a gelateria (] shop) known simply as "the Gelateria". Her story mode involved evading a pack of police cars with the aid of a ] to get to work on time. Her ] were placed in the Strange genre, featuring ] games like brushing teeth or inhaling mucus quickly. She was also "playable" in ''Dong-Dong'', an unlockable multiplayer bonus. | |||
| In '']''. Mona once again switched jobs, this time working for a pizzeria known as (coincidentially) Mona Pizza. Her storyline involved delivering a pizza whilst being chased by the crew from the rival pizzeria ]. Her new batch of microgames involves short, precise tilts with the built-in ]. Mona was also featured in several unlockables in the game, including a music box which played her level's music theme while a little toy Mona spun around. | |||
| In '']'', Mona is now the ] of a fairly popular rock band called Mona and the Hot Slices (possibly the Hawt Slices, since the place they play is called the Hawt House). Her story involves ], a jealous rival singer, sending a giant mechanical bird after her and her band. Making use of the ] and ] the system possesses, all of Mona's microgames involve short, cutting motions. Vanessa attempts to mimic Mona, but the fans weren't fooled, and booed her off of the stage. Once Mona's game is over, it seems that Mona and Vanessa have become friends, as they are shown sharing the stage at the Hawt House (where all of the characters end up after their stories). | |||
| Mona is quite adventurous, and, according to the ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$'', she is savvy, thinks Wario is always one degree ahead of cool, and likes money (this is indicated when she asks if the player will pay her for teaching him or her). It also shows Wario has inspired most of her strange games. She also likes wild guys. | |||
| There is evidence, primarily gleaned from the first two games, that suggests that ] and Mona share a mutual attraction. In ''Mega Party Game$'', Mona's bio <ref>{{cite web|author= WarioWare.biz|title=Wario Ware| work=|url=http://www.warioware.biz/gcn/| accessdate=|accessyear=}}</ref> mentions that she is a bit smitten with him, and in one of the cinemas of ''Mega Microgame$'', Wario dreams of her while muttering the phrase "So cute." | |||
| Mona is voiced by ]. | |||
| ==Orbulon== | |||
| ]'']] | |||
| '''Orbulon''' is a superintelligent by Earth standards, but has difficulty with the English language (according to the ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$'' booklet, he has a translator). He also has the ability to change his appearance. Orbulon once desired to conquer the Earth, but after crash-landing there, he gave up this desire and settled in. | |||
| In '']'', his story begins when his spaceship is struck by an asteroid. He calls for help and an emergency spaceship flies over and sends an elevator down to save Orbulon. The space rabbits inside the spaceship pull him up as the player plays I.Q. themed ]. In the end, Orbulon is saved and begins to talk about how intelligent he is. The space rabbits, however, are tired of this, drop him, leave, and Orbulon's ship crashes into Earth. | |||
| In ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' Orbulon is cruising through space in his ship. He falls asleep, and his ship is caught in a time warp. In order for his ship to escape, the player must complete games which are twice as long as others (due to the time warp). Once the stage is beaten, Orbulon's ship escapes the time warp, but Orbulon is nearly eaten by a monster disguised as a moon or planet. The monster spits the ship out, nearly destroying it, and causing Orbulon's bunny minions to flee. | |||
| Orbulon does not have a stage or games in '']'', choosing instead to harbor various unlockables in his pink space ship. Orbulon crashes into ], a young witch-in-training, during her microgame session, and is chased by Ashley's friend, a little devil named Red, as it turns out Orbulon is the missing ingredient to Ashley's potion. Red never catches him, so Ashley decides to use Red instead. | |||
