9-Volt

9-Volt is bigNintendo fanboy, owning everything ever made by Nintendo. 9-Volt's microgames are all microgame versions of classic Nintendo games such as Mario Clash, Mario Paint, Super Mario Bros., and Duck Hunt, 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 Dragon Warrior.

9-Volt is a student at Diamond Elementary, and usually gets around by way of a hoverboard. He lives at home with his never fully seen mother, 5-Volt, and his pet Shaggy/Fronk.

In WarioWare: Twisted!, 9-Volt gained a friend and partner in 18-Volt, a big kid with a boom box and a shared love for Nintendo.

9-Volt's name comes from the operating voltage of the NES.

18-Volt

18-Volt is from the games WarioWare: Twisted! and WarioWare: Touched!. He is 9-Volt's best friend, but not 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 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 videogames. In the game, alongside with 9-Volt, their theme is "retro action", so all their games are based on old Nintendo games.

While Touched! was the first sequel released in America, Twisted! came out first in Japan, and showed 18-Volt's true first appearance. The chronological order of the two sequels is opposite that of their release order in the States, and has caused some confusion online. It should be noted, however, that the localization team for Twisted! didn't attempt to make it seem that way; 18-Volt meets 9-Volt for the first time in the English version of Twisted!

Dribble and Spitz

Dribble & Spitz are two developers who speak with Bronx accents. They also work as cabbies, and their cab has the ability to go anywhere (even space). It is eventually revealed that Dr. Crygor designed the cab.

Dribble is a large anthropomorphic bulldog 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 back, 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 WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$). He says his rank is space cadet, but Spitz is "lower than a space cadet" in his eyes.

Spitz is an anthropomorphic yellow cat 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$, either. He also seems to like to play, as in the WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$ 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 5-by-5 square of asteroids and mark them for him- or herself.
• In WarioWare: Twisted!, their microgames use both the gyro sensor and the A button.
• In WarioWare: Touched!, 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.

Jimmy T.

Jimmy T. (the T stands for Thang) is a fictional character in the WarioWare series of microgames. Jimmy is a dancing fanatic, to the point that sometimes he will do so involuntarily, citing that the rhythm makes him do it.

In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$ 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.

Jimmy loves to hang out at hot Diamond City night spots, like Club Sugar, and dance the night away. In WarioWare: Twisted!, he confesses that he likes to sweat a lot.

In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ and WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$, he represents the sports genre of microgames. He also hosts the remix levels in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$, but has a differently colored wig in each. In WarioWare: Twisted! he and his parents are shown dancing at Club Sugar for so long that they miss a meal. In WarioWare: Touched! he hosts the Rubbing (Dance Club Rub) games, along with his family.

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, kindergarten-aged ninja twins and microgame developers in the WarioWare, Inc. series of video games. Kat has pink hair with a single ponytail, while Ana has red-orange hair with two ponytails. They have different themes in each of the games: nature WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$; scribbling and drawing in WarioWare: Touched!; and pressing the A-button in WarioWare: Twisted!. Their names are derived from katana, a weapon occasionally associated with ninja.

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 WarioWare, Inc. (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 Numchuck 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.

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.

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 WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$, 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 microgames. 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 WarioWare: Touched!, choosing instead to harbor various unlockables in his pink space ship. Orbulon crashes into Ashley, a 15-year-old 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.
