=== 5-Volt ===
'''5-Volt''' is 9-Volt's mother. In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', she appears in the dark in 9-Volt's room where she tells him to go to sleep. In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' she appears when the game is over.

=== 9-Volt ===
=== 9-Volt ===
'''9-Volt''' is a Nintendo [[fanboy]], owning everything ever made by Nintendo. 9-Volt's [[Microgame (WarioWare)|microgames]] are all microgame versions of Nintendo video games. 9-Volt is a student at Diamond Elementary School and usually gets around by way of a hoverboard. He lives at home with his mother, 5-Volt, and his pet [[#Fronk|Fronk]], called 'Shag'.

'''9-Volt''' is a big Nintendo [[fanboy]], owning everything ever made by Nintendo. His name comes from the operating voltage of the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]. 9-Volt's [[Microgame (WarioWare)|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 Quest]]'' (which was not made by Nintendo).

9-Volt is a student at Diamond Elementary School, possibly a fourth grader, and usually gets around by way of a hoverboard, known as a "skating board" in an extra minigame in Wario Ware: Mega Micro Games. He lives at home with his never fully seen mother 5-Volt and his pet [[#Fronk|Fronk]], called 'Shag'. 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. This led to some confusion: ''WarioWare: Touched!'' was the first sequel released in America instead of ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', as in Japan.

9-Volt also appears alongside 18-Volt in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. This time, his microgames are themed around Nintendo in general and include games from nearly every system, such as ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', ''[[Nintendogs]]'', ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', ''[[Star Fox]]'', and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', as well as classics.


=== 18-Volt ===
=== 18-Volt ===
'''18-Volt''' is [[#9-Volt|9-Volt]]'s best friend, and a fan of video games. He is a gigantic fellow, and when not speaking alongside with 9-Volt, he almost always limits his statements to "Word." Despite his size, he goes to Diamond Elementary School. His other defining trait is the boom box he always carries; his loud music gets him into trouble on his first day of school, although he soon finds an admirer in 9-Volt.

'''18-Volt''' is from the games ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', and ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. He is [[#9-Volt|9-Volt]]'s best friend. He is a gigantic fellow, and when not speaking alongside with 9-Volt, he almost always limits his statements to "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 [[videogame]]s. Alongside 9-Volt, their theme in ''Twisted!'' is "retro action", so all their games are based on old [[Nintendo]] 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. However, in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', he can say other things again.

In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', 18-Volt accidentally breaks 9-Volt's new dual-screen Game & Watch (though 18-Volt first mistakes the handheld as a DS Lite beforehand, due to its similarity in shape), angering 9-Volt and getting him kicked out of his house. Feeling guilty, 18-Volt tries to look for another game to make up for the broken one at the local toy store, with no success, until he spots a new game store. In the end, when the salesman shows a new Game & Watch, 18-Volt's and 9-Volt's hands meet near the game. After both realizing their errors, they apologize, and 9-Volt tells his friend that he'll always be his P2 (for Player 2).


=== Ashley ===
=== Ashley ===
'''Ashley''' is a [[witch]] in training who lives in a mansion in Diamond City with a little devil named Red. She is very emotionless and rarely ever smiles. Typically, she is not interested in activities not related to becoming a better witch; usually, Ashley tells Red to do it. She often spends her time improving various aspects of her witchcraft, while Red spends a lot of his time helping her in some way.

'''Ashley''' is a [[witch]] in training who lives in a creepy mansion in Diamond City with a little devil named Red. She is very emotionless and rarely ever smiles. Typically, she is not interested in activities not related to becoming a better witch; usually, Ashley tells Red to do it. She often spends her time improving various aspects of her witchcraft, while Red spends a lot of his time helping her in some way. Despite her generally uncaring personality, she does have a somewhat gentle side to her, as seen in her character intro in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''. She is one of four characters (plus two sets of characters) in the series to have lyrics in her theme song (the others are Mike, Dribble and Spitz, and Kat and Ana).
* Ashley is just barely introduced in [[WarioWare: Touched!]], 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, [[#Orbulon|Orbulon]]'s ship flies 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. After completing a full round of her games, Orbulon is shown to have outrun Red, leaving the little devil empty-handed. Red apologizes to Ashley and seems to be forgiven, but then she says that she would use Red as an ingredient instead. Red doesn't quite understand.
* In ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', Ashley is first seen looking through a book with a magnifying glass. She turns to Red, who quickly transforms into the wand seen in her promotional art. She tries to use the wand to alter a small seedling in a pot, though only manages to make the seedling grow into a small flower. Ashley figures that she needs more practice, and then a book with a skull face on the cover offers to help her practice. After the games are done, the book chuckles and flies off in a poof of smoke, telling Ashley to try again. Ashley does so, and she ends up spawning a massive man-eating piranha plant which destroys the mansion, much to Red's terror. As the scene fades out, she gently smiles.
* Ashley is voiced by [[Christina Peyser]] in the English version of ''WarioWare: Touched!''. The voice of Japanese version isn't published.<!--"voiced by [[Megumi Hayashibara]]" This is the joke by the Japanese fan, isn't fact.--> The difference between the two voice actors is that Japanese voice sounds much more young and high-pitched. English portrayal is lower in pitch and more monotone, especially in ''Smooth Moves''.
<!--Nintendo has not confirmed or denied that the song is going to be in other languages. They are using Japanese and English as example placeholders. IT IS ALSO NOT CONFIRMED THAT IT WILL BE USED WITH THE WARIO WARE STAGE: THERE MIGHT BE MORE WARIO STAGES!-->
*In the upcoming ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', an updated variation of Ashley's Theme is confirmed to be in the game with the song's vocals provided by Emily McIntosh, Terry Lauber, and James Cowan. The song's use for the game has not been determined.<ref> {{cite web|author = Nintendo Co. Ltd.|title= Smash Bros Dojo: WarioWare: Ashley’s Theme |work=|url=http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music12.html|accessdate=Oct 9|accessyear=2007}}</ref>

=== Red ===

'''Red''' is '''Ashley''''s red [[devil]]. He lives in a creepy mansion with his friend and master Ashley. In [[WarioWare: Touched!]] he helps Ashley create a spell. In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', Ashley turns Red into a wand to help her transform her plant into a monster.


=== Dribble and Spitz ===
=== Dribble and Spitz ===
'''Dribble & Spitz''' are two developers who speak with [[Bronx]] accents <!--Mega Party Game$ bio-->. They also work as [[cabbie]]s, and their [[taxicab|cab]], which was designed by [[#Doctor Crygor|Dr. Crygor]], has the ability to go anywhere. '''Dribble''' is a large [[anthropomorphic]] [[bulldog]] with red hair. He seems large, burly, and gruff, but in reality, he is quite calm and friendly. '''Spitz''' is a yellow anthropomorphic [[cat]]. He is always squinting and wears goggles.

[[Image:DribbleSpitz.jpg|right|thumb|150px|'''Dribble and Spitz''']]

'''Dribble & Spitz''' are two developers who speak with [[Bronx]] accents <!--Mega Party Game$ bio-->. They also work as [[cabbie]]s, and their [[taxicab|cab]] has the ability to go anywhere (even space). It is eventually revealed that [[#Doctor Crygor|Dr. Crygor]] designed the cab. Their theme song is "Koe no Tadayō Namima" (official English title: "Drifting Away"), one of only four character theme songs containing lyrics. At the end of most of their scenarios, they remember that whoever they drove forgot to pay the fare. Their names are a pun of [[Kibbles 'n Bits]], a brand of dog food.

'''Dribble''' is a large [[anthropomorphic]] [[bulldog]] with red hair (covered by 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 stomach 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 a yellow anthropomorphic [[cat]] who is about the same size as Kat & Ana. He is always squinting and 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 ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$'', either. He also seems to like to play, because in the ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$]]'' instruction manual he encourages Dribble to stop working and play a round of games with him.

In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted]]'', Spitz plays with the radio because he is bored, causing the car to break.

Strangely, in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' Dribble and Spitz do not have their own set of microgames. However, they can be seen briefly at the end of Mike's story, and their flying car is seen several times as an easter egg.

In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', the duo takes a beautiful lady to a place called Tomorrow Hill (the same as the theme song). When they arrive, they discover that the lady was in fact an alien that waited for her saucer to arrive and pick her up so she could use the bathroom on it (as stated by a post board in the game). After getting up on their feet, Spitz tells Dribble that they forgot to collect the fare.


===Doctor Crygor===
===Doctor Crygor===
'''Dr. Crygor''' is a quirky scientist whose inventions include his [[cryogenic]] suit, [[#Mike|Mike]], the karaoke robot that would "solve all his cleaning needs", and the Kelerometer diet machine. He is a hundred years old, and the grandfather of Penny Crygor. In ''WarioWare: Touched'', he accidentally gets caught in his latest invention and is fused with an apple, resulting in red accents to his costume, as well as a full helmet. These changes remain for part of ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''.

<!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:Crygor smooth moves.PNG|thumb|340pxls|right|Dr. Crygor, as seen in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''.]] -->
'''Dr. Crygor''' is a quirky yet especially smart scientist whose inventions include his (apparently) [[cryogenic]]{{Fact|date=October 2007}} suit (which, as of ''Mega Party Game$!'', did not protect his head), the Gravitator (which turned [[Wario]] into Wario-Man), the TUNA (which made his body whole), [[#Mike|Mike]], the karaoke robot that would "solve all his cleaning needs", and the Kelerometer (diet machine). According to the instruction booklet in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$]]'', he is a hundred years old. He is also the grandfather of Penny Crygor, introduced in ''Smooth Moves''.

In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$]]'', Crygor ends up drinking his latest development, only to end up in some form of [[gastrointestinal]] distress. He rushes off to the bathroom in order to relieve himself.

In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', Wario breaks his [[Game Boy Advance]] and asks Crygor to fix it. Crygor throws it into his washing machine-like device (Gravitator), and both of them wait. However, it malfunctions, turning the Game Boy Advance into a tilt-sensitive device. Wario uses this opportunity to make a new set of games.

In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', Dr. Crygor competes against his granddaughter Penny in an "Invent-off" and has a 20-microgame-long stage designed as an exercise.

Throughout the series, Dr. Crygor has gone through certain changes. In ''WarioWare: Touched'', he accidentally gets caught in his latest invention and is fused with an apple, resulting in red accents to his costume, as well as a full helmet. These changes remain in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', initially in Penny's stage, but after that, he seems to have upgraded himself again, now sporting an all yellow costume as well as being more in shape.


=== Fronk ===
=== Fronk ===
'''Fronk''' is a strange, blocky, yellow species of creatures. They appear constantly throughout all the WarioWare games, both in microgames and cutscenes. 9-Volt apparently even keeps one of them as a pet, calling it "Shag". In the Japanese version, these creatures were 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 vary individually from each other. They are also apparently very small, as they are usually depicted getting stomped on, crushed, eaten, or kicked. Their sizes range from the size of a human toe to smaller than a penny.
[[Image:Fronk WarioWare.png|right|thumb|32 px|'''Fronk''']]


=== Jimmy P. ===
'''Fronk''' is a strange, blocky, yellow creature; it is unknown if Fronk is the name of its species or just one particular character (similar to [[Yoshi]]). They appear constantly throughout all the WarioWare games, both in microgames and cutscenes; 9-Volt apparently even keeps one of them as a pet, calling it "Shag". In the Japanese version, these creatures were 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 vary individually from each other. They are also apparently very small, as they are usually depicted getting stomped on, crushed, eaten, or kicked. Their sizes range from the size of a human toe to smaller than a penny.
'''Jimmy P.''' is looks exactly like Jimmy T. with the exception of his yellow afro and Hawaiian shirt He attends the Club Spice. He eventually meets Jimmy T. at the end of his story.

In ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$'', he appears in a few microgames. They are in [[#Mona|Mona]]'s "Sole Man", [[#Orbulon|Orbulon]]'s "Find My Behind", and [[#Kat and Ana|Kat & Ana]]'s "Blow Hole Bridge". He also appeared in 9-Volt's intermissions as his pet and showed up in the 2-player game Chicken Race. In addition to the single player Microgames in ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Games$'', up to 4 Fronks 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 ''WarioWare: 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 starting with Jimmy's games (but not Kat & Ana's), although they're more likely to occur in the later levels. His games have a shorter time limit than normal ones, requiring quick thinking (the exact opposite of Orbulon's games).

In ''WarioWare: Touched!'', a small group of Fronks appear in one microgame, called "Shhhhhhh!", which usually occurs between levels that involve blowing, such as some of the games in [[#9-Volt|9-Volt]]'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 that one does nothing, which serves as a trap to those who blow into the microphone as soon as a microgame begins. Also, in a harder version of one of Dr. Crygor's games, where the player sucks a galaxy into a black hole, sometimes it's a radiant asteroid of some sort infested by Fronks which is especially difficult to suck in.

In ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', he is seen throughout numerous microgames. For example, you need to use both the Wii Remote and Nunchuck controllers to help the Fronk pass by on the bridge. Also, he makes a brief appearance in [[#Ashley|Ashley]]'s boss stage, sometimes appearing inside the burger.


===Jimmy T.===
===Jimmy T.===
'''Jimmy T.''' is a man with a large blue afro wig, who is a dancing fanatic to the point that sometimes he will do so involuntarily, citing that the rhythm makes him do it. Jimmy is always seen hanging out at hot Diamond City night spots, particularly Club Sugar, and dancing the night away. Since ''WarioWare: Twisted'', Jimmy has been seen hanging out with members of his family, who apparently love dancing as much as he does. They include his parents, '''Papa T.''' and '''Mama T.''', and his brother and sister,'''James T.''' and '''Jamie T.'''
[[Image:Jimmy T..gif|thumb|right|170px|Jimmy T., with his [[cell phone]].]]

'''Jimmy T.''' (the "T" standing for "Thang"), a man with a large blue afro wig, is a dancing fanatic, to the point that sometimes he will do so involuntarily, citing that the rhythm makes him do it. He bears a slight resemblance to Waluigi. Jimmy is always seen hanging out at hot Diamond City night spots, particularly Club Sugar, and dancing the night away. It is said in his description in ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$'' that his afro holds a secret, the secret can possibly be that it isn't naturally hair. However, it is rumored to have something to do with the cat with a blue afro that appears on Jimmy's head on the break in ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$'', leading some to believe that it was his pet, though a Souvenir in ''Twisted!'' featured a white cat said to be Sugar's (of Club Sugar), possibly the same seen with Jimmy.

In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$]]'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], he had a girlfriend who dumped him because she believed he loved 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 promptly leave.

In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$]]'' and ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$]]'', he represents the [[sport]]s 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 and his family hosts the Rubbing (Dance Club Rub) games.

In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', Jimmy only hosts the microgame remixes, along with Jimmy P. During his stage, Jimmy T. helps out a cat in the rain by giving him his umbrella, and then finds himself being followed by a group of cats. He leads them to the dance club and they dance all night. After the cats leave, the one he gave his umbrella to happily returns it.

====Family====

Since ''WarioWare: Twisted'', Jimmy has been seen hanging out with members of his family, who apparently love dancing as much as he does; they have even been seen doing choreographed dance numbers with him a few times. 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 portly figure, a pink afro, and large lips.

* '''Jamie T.''' — Jimmy's sister, 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.''' — Jimmy's brother, a pudgy man with an orange afro. He is the shortest family member and features a round red nose.

Mama and Papa host the Family Scramble remix in ''Twisted!'', while Jamie and James host the Jamie's Mix and James' Mix remixes respectively in ''Touched!''.


=== Kat and Ana ===
=== Kat and Ana ===
'''Kat & Ana''' are [[kindergarten]]-aged [[ninja]] twins. Kat has pink hair with a single ponytail, while Ana has red-orange hair with two ponytails. Ana is timid, while Kat is a bit more bossy and overall the dominant sister, though she cares for Ana deeply. The two live in an old-fashioned Japanese-style house in a forest. The two are descended from the Iga ninja clan, and attend Mystical Ninja Elementary. They have four pets: Don the Sparrow, Shadow the Dog , Shuriken the Falcon, and Numchuck the Monkey. In terms of personality,

[[Image:KatAna.jpg|right|thumb|210px|'''Kat & Ana''']]

'''Kat & Ana''' are [[kindergarten]]-aged [[ninja]] twins. Kat has pink hair with a single ponytail, while Ana has red-orange hair with two ponytails. Their names are derived from [[katana]], a weapon occasionally associated with ninja. It was revealed in ''WarioWare: Touched!'' that the two live in an old-fashioned Japanese-style house in a forest. Their parents have yet to be seen. Their theme song is "Haru, Natsu, Aki, Fuyu" (lit.: "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter"; official English title: "Four Seasons"), one of only four WarioWare character themes to have lyrics.

According to the manual bios in ''WarioWare, Inc.: 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 ''WarioWare: 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 the dominant sister, though she cares for Ana deeply.

In ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$'', Kat comes to Ana and a castle lord/lady's aid when Ana is defeated by Boneheads, a giant skeletal monster clad with samurai armor that ends up possessing the ruler of the castle. After fighting her way to the top, Kat attacks the monster and finally defeats it by using the giant sword that Shadow transformed into.

In ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', the duo are on a field trip at Diamond Knoll. As the twins explore, Ana stops to look at a flower and then quickly catches up with Kat, whom she finds poking a beehive for some unexplained reason. The hive falls, and the bees within chase the girls into a barn-sized hut. The girls relax for a moment, but are soon attacked by a hairy, mask-clad creature with muscular arms and legs called the Diamond Troll. The girls come close to defeating the monster and start charging up for one last attack when Shuriken and Shadow rush in in an attempt to save the girls, only to slam into the ceiling and land on top of the creature, defeating it. The girls prepare to leave, only to find that the bees are still waiting for them outside, leading the girls and their pets to being chased by them again.

In ''WarioWare: Touched!'', Ana comes home wanting a snack, only to find that a bunch of bananas that were sitting on the table were now missing. Ana finds footprints leading out of the house and is determined to track down the banana thief, but not before leaving a note for Kat. As Ana runs through the woods with Shadow, Kat and Shuriken soon catch up with Ana. Eventually, the girls are led to a monkey eating their bananas. Finding the monkey cute, the girls decide to keep him around, they call the monkey Numchuck.

''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' once again features the girls defending a feudal-style castle and its sensei from yet another monster, this time an [[Oni (folklore)|oni]]. As the girls run to the castle, Ana uses some sort of ninja magic on herself to transform into a turtle while also producing three duplicates (Kat presumably distracts the oni while Ana sneaks in), which act as the life counters in the level. In the end, Ana discovers a little oni baby, playfully pulling her sensei's hair. Meanwhile, Kat duplicates herself and starts attacking the giant oni, until the baby yells to stop. Against the sunrise, the giant oni walks away, child in hand. Kat waves the big guy goodbye, until she notices that the baby is beside her, and that the oni is actually walking away with Ana (both the baby oni and Ana have the same silhouette).

Their voices in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' are different than from the other games in the series, as they sound more high-pitched than before.<ref>[http://media.wii.ign.com/media/826/826990/vids_1.html Ninja Sisters Video]</ref>
They have different themes in each of the games. In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$|Mega Microgame$]]'', their microgames all revolve around nature in some form. Their microgames in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' only require pressing the A button, with scribbling and drawing as their gimmick in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]''


=== Mike ===
=== Mike ===
'''Mike''' is a character who was introduced in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' In the game, he hosts a section devoted entirely to blowing into the microphone on [[Nintendo DS]]. Mike is a [[karaoke]] [[robot]] made by [[#Doctor Crygor|Dr. Crygor]]. Despite being a robot built for karaoke, the slightly mad doctor programs him to be a cleaning robot. Eventually, he overrides his cleaning program with his karaoke program by blowing on a pile of dust.

'''Mike''' is a character who was introduced in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' In the game, he hosts a section devoted entirely to blowing into the microphone on [[Nintendo DS]].

Mike is a [[karaoke]] [[robot]] made by [[#Doctor Crygor|Dr. Crygor]]. 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, his 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 ''WarioWare: Touched!'' that have lyrics (other characters throughout the series also have lyrics in their theme songs).

Soon after Mike beats his competition, Dr. Crygor is flown in by Dribble & Spitz. 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 Dr. Crygor's singing (stating that it is "99.78% awful"), 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.

In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', Mike's role is similar to 18-Volt, Red, and Spitz, as he is Crygor's sidekick. In the intro to Penny's level, he appears both as a framed picture and again cheering on Dr. Crygor. He also assists Dr. Crygor in his stage.


=== Mona ===
=== Mona ===
'''Mona''' is a [[high school]] student with a different [[part-time]] job in each game. Mona is quite adventurous, and savvy. She thinks Wario is always one degree ahead of cool, and likes money. She always seems to be late to wherever she is going, and often speeds on her scooter to make up for this. She starts out working as a "the Gelateria", and moves on to being an ice cream girl, a waitress at Sora sora Diner, a pizza delivery worker at Mona Pizza, the [[bassist]] of a fairly popular rock band called Mona and the Hot Slices, and a cheerleader.

<!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:Monascooter.gif|thumb|right|'''Mona''' driving her scooter from ''WarioWare Inc.: Mega Microgame$''.]] -->

'''Mona''' was established in the original game as a [[high school]] student with a [[part-time]] job (plus her work designing microgames for WarioWare, Inc.). Originally, she had a theme song that didn't have lyrics, but she does have such a theme in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]''.

In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$]]'', Mona started out working at a gelateria ([[gelato]] shop) known simply as "the Gelateria". Her story mode involved evading a pack of police cars with the aid of a [[monkey]] to get to work on time. Her [[Microgame (WarioWare)|microgames]] were placed in the Strange genre, featuring [[Surrealism|surreal]] games like brushing teeth or inhaling mucus quickly. She was also "playable" in ''Dong-Dong'', an unlockable multiplayer bonus.

In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'', Mona switches jobs from an ice cream girl to a waitress at Sora sora Diner. She is seen in a special movie introducing the characters in her uniform there.

In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', 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, [[#Pizza Dinosaur|Pizza Dinosaur]]. Her new batch of microgames involves short, precise tilts with the built-in [[gyroscope]]. Mona was also featured in several unlockables in the game, including a music box which played her level's music theme ("Mona Pizza") while a little toy Mona spun around.

In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', Mona is now the [[bassist]] of a fairly popular rock band called Mona and the Hot Slices. Her story involves [[#Vanessa|Vanessa]], a jealous rival singer, sending a giant mechanical bird after her and her band. Making use of the [[stylus]] and [[touch screen]] 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).

In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', Mona has now become a cheerleader for the Diamond City High Football team, along with another job working at a stall selling [[dumplings]]. Apparently, [[List of Wario characters#Football player|one of the players]] has fallen in love with her. Later in [[Young Cricket]]'s story, she is shown serving at the stall.

Mona is quite adventurous, and, according to the ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$'' instruction manual, 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 [[Wario]] 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 always seems to be late to wherever she is going, and often speeds on her scooter to make up for this. In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$]]'', she is late because a line of schoolchildren blocked her path. In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!|Touched!]]'', she is late delivering her pizzas because she was playing at the Hawt House. In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', there is no reason given, but she is late to the football game, and drives at full speed directly into the stadium.

Mona is voiced by [[Leslie Swan]] in the first four games in the series, though now voiced by [[Christina Peyser]] in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''.


=== Orbulon ===
=== Orbulon ===
'''Orbulon''' is superintelligent alien that has difficulty with the English language. His [[IQ]] is 300, and he is 2003 years old. Orbulon first desires to conquer the Earth, but after crash-landing there, he gives up this desire and settls in. However, in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', he mentions that using the balance stone brings him closer to his goal, which in his game card holder, mentions he's trying to save Earth.

<!-- Commented out because image was deleted: [[Image:Orbulon.JPG|right|thumb|150px|'''Orbulon''', as seen in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$]]''.]] -->

'''Orbulon''' is superintelligent by Earth standards, but has difficulty with the English language (according to the ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$'' booklet, he has a translator). He also has the ability to change his appearance. Orbulon once desired to conquer the Earth, but after crash-landing there, he gave up this desire and settled in. However, in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', he mentions that using the balance stone brings him closer to his goal, which in his game card holder, mentions he's trying to save Earth. His [[IQ]] is 300, and as of [[WarioWare Inc.: Mega Party Game$|Mega Party Game$]], he was stated as being 2003 years old; this means he was born on [[1 BC]] of the [[gregorian calendar]], as the game was released in 2003. His speech during games is a fuzz of electronic gibberish, although some of these phrases sound close to actual words on occasion. It was once thought that, since Orbulon is as tall as his "space bunny" minions, he would be as tall as a regualar Earth rabbit. However, in [[WarioWare: Touched!|Touched!]], he is shown to be actually as tall as Ashley.

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 [[Microgame (WarioWare)|microgames]]. In the end, Orbulon is saved and begins to talk about how intelligent he is. The space hares, however, tiring of this self adulation, drop him off and leave. Subsequently, Orbulon's ship crashes into Earth.

In ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', Orbulon is cruising through space in his ship. He falls asleep, and while asleep 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 (the time in his world is twice as slow as in Earth). Once a stage is beaten, Orbulon's ship escapes the time warp and proceeds; however Orbulon is nearly eaten by a monster disguised as a planetoid. The monster spits the ship out, nearly destroying it, causing Orbulon's bunny minions to flee. In the epilogue of Wario-Man, he is taking a cruise along with Mona, Kat, Ana, and 9-Volt in a blue ship known as the "Oinker 2." He takes fire on Wario-Man's suit, taking him back down to Earth.

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|Ashley]], 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 Ashley thinks Orbulon may be the missing ingredient to her potion. Red never catches him, so Ashley decides to use Red instead.

Orbulon appears in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'' as well, and he introduces the player to the "Diner" form which utilizes the Nunchuk controller. His segment of the story takes place after Wario's second segment, as the Form Baton has already been returned to the temple. After picking the Form Baton and the Balance Stone, the Temple starts to fly into space. After claiming the temple as his new spaceship, the Splunks take the controllers away and toss Orbulon outside with his old ship. Also, Orbulon's voice in this game is much easier to understand than the previous games.

=== Young Cricket ===

Young Cricket is first introduced in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. He is a boy drawn in a style similar to anime, with flowing dark hair and a blue outfit. He practices martial arts and trains with his master, Master Mantis. In ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', he feels hungry and notices Mona's crowded dumpling stand nearby. Young Cricket then attempts to leap on the heads of people waiting in the line to grab his meal. After landing in front of the stand and in front of the other people, Cricket feels an unnaturally hostile aura behind him. As he looks back, he then notices that everyone he bypassed has a bump on their head and is angry. Cricket then apologizes, jumps on the people's head again and finally asks his master to wait in line.

He and his master travel all over looking for new forms. The two decide to stay in Diamond City for a while, as there appear to be many Forms to learn there.


=== Penny Crygor ===
=== Penny Crygor ===
'''Penny Crygor''' is another character first introduced in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. She is the granddaughter of [[#Doctor Crygor|Dr. Crygor]] and dreams of becoming a great scientist. She also has a hidden desire to become a singer. Penny sees her grandfather as an excellent scientist, though also recognizes his eccentric nature.<ref> {{cite web|author = Nintendo Co.

'''Pyoro''' is a character that has his own game in almost every WarioWare game, each game varying in style . Pyoro resembles a round red bird with a white belly and short wings, with a long, sticky, frog-like tongue.


=== Tiny Wario ===
In the intro of her games in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', she is seen going to Diamond Academy and putting on a pair of goggles that puts her in a battle suit of some sort. Moments later she is in some kind of sparring match between herself and Dr. Crygor. According to the game, they aren't physically fighting but instead they try to mentally fight over which invention of theirs is better.
'''Tiny Wario''' are a group of small Warios formed afte [[#Penny Crygor|Penny Crygor]] gives Wario a special motorcycle as a present. When Wario rides it, he shrinks and disappears into it, soon after being spat out of the exhaust pipe in the form of multiple Tiny Warios. The Tiny Warios can re-gather to turn back into a fully-sized Wario. Tiny Warios are also infatuated with [[strawberries]].

Later in the game, she gives her winning invention, a tiny bike, to Wario, which leads to a second set of Wario-themed microgames.


=== Wario-Man ===
=== Wario-Man ===
'''Wario-Man''' is an alter-ego of Wario that is formed after being tossed Crygor's Gravitator while checking up on Crygor's production of ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' systems. He transforms again in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' after eating bad garlic with the hopes of curing himself. Wario-Man is also [[Wario]]'s Final Smash on ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', on which all his attacks are powered up in different ways.


=== Young Cricket ===
While checking up on [[#Doctor Crygor|Dr. Crygor]]'s production of ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' systems, Wario decides to sit down on the assembly line and play a game. The next thing he knows, he is tossed into Dr. Crygor's Gravitator. When he comes out, he has become Wario-Man, then he goes back in the gravitator and turns it to a power suit, and he flies up in space. Meanwhile, Orbulon, Mona, Kat, Ana, 18-Volt, and 9-Volt take a cruise on Orbulon's new ship, which is a yellow oinker, Orbulon sees Wario-man and attacks him. Mona recognises Wario in the suit, then, after being attacked, he falls down in the water near Crygor's lab, Crygor is seen fishing at the end, and he reels in Wario.
Young Cricket is first introduced in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. He is with flowing dark hair and a blue outfit. He practices martial arts and trains with his master, Master Mantis. He and his master travel all over looking for new forms. The two decide to stay in Diamond City for a while, as there appear to be many forms to learn there.
Later, in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', Wario starts to feel a little under the weather. He decides to eat some garlic to relieve himself, but the only garlic head left in the fridge is green and odd-looking. But since garlic is Wario's personal cure-all, he goes ahead and eats the thing anyway. The garlic seemingly infects Wario's stomach with viruses, and when Wario's immune system eats the viruses the reaction ends up turning Wario into Wario-Man, where he ends up going on a rampage.

Wario-Man's microgames are of the same genre as Wario's microgames: they involve Wario in some way, shape or form. There are no rules or any kind of special theme or way to play, which differs greatly from the other characters' games in ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' and ''WarioWare: Touched!''.

Wario-Man is also [[Wario]]'s Final Smash on ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', on which all his attacks are powered up in different ways (E.G., Wario will make his bike go at insane speed.)

=== Tiny Wario ===

In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', [[#Penny Crygor|Penny Crygor]] gives Wario a special motorcycle as a present. When Wario rides it, he shrinks and disappears into it, soon after being spat out of the exhaust pipe in the form of multiple Tiny Warios. Tiny Wario has the same genre as Wario-Man, and could be considered a replacement of Wario-Man, considering that Wario-Man is absent from ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''. The Tiny Warios can re-gather to turn back into a fully-sized Wario. Tiny Warios are also infatuated with [[strawberries]].

Oddly enough, the Tiny Warios are based on an actual transformation Wario can undergo in the [[Wario Land]] series of games. Both versions appear identical, except the WarioWare version wears a yellow "suit" with a W on it and has no mouth.

=== Other WarioWare characters ===
==== Dr. Payne ====

In ''WarioWare: Touched!'', Wario (after eating a dangerous amount of chocolate) goes to Dr. Payne, who fixes [[Wario]]'s teeth. Dr. Payne bears an uncanny similarity to the Sewer Guru (see below).

==== Sewer Guru ====

The Sewer Guru is the character Wario meets in the opening cutscene of ''WarioWare: Touched!''.
While Wario was walking home with his "pinched" Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP, he trips and drops them both in an open manhole.

The Sewer Guru comes out of the sewers and holds 3 game systems: Wario's Game Boy Advance and SP in one hand, a Nintendo DS in the other. He asks if Wario dropped the older systems or the DS (which he calls "this fancy one"), and Wario demands all three. The Sewer Guru gives Wario an incredulous look, and Wario lunges at him in attempt to get all the handhelds. When Wario gets out of the sewer he only has the DS. At the end, after the characters' names, Wario falls near the sewer. The Guru, seeking revenge, smashes Wario over the head and makes the peace sign.

==== Alien bunnies ====

Credited in ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$'' as '''Space Hares''', they were the life counter for Orbulon's games. Every time you lose one of your lives, one of them gets sucked into a nameless void. Regaining a life brings one back from said void. Their spaceship appears in the Dribble & Spitz microgame "Space Escape". In the GameCube remake, ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$'', they had their own minigame, where up to four had to keep away from a larger space hare in a girl's wig, and appear in the credits sequence. In ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', they show up during Orbulon's story as his minions. In ''WarioWare Touched!'', they appear in various places. One appears in the ending of Dr. Crygor game, and Mike goes to a planet full of them.

They also appear in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' during the seventh and eighth mixes, which was also created by [[R&D1]].

==== Joe ====

He's pretty much Mona's boss, progressing up the ladder along with Mona, and is the owner of Mona's particular place of business. He appears in all of the games except for ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$''. In ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$'', he only appears at the end of the game, after Mona has evaded the police. In ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' and ''WarioWare: Touched!'', he comes in and drops off Mona's animal helpers. He appears as the announcer at the football game in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''.

=== Splunks ===

They are from ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'' where one steals Wario's food and Wario follows him to Temple Of Forms and finds the Form Baton. You can see them stand outside the Temple Of Forms later and it stands on the town bullentine board that they might be pets to the ancient people. In the Mini-Wario movie they say "Give it back!" and make Wario go to Temple Of Forms and he drops it and they say "Thank You!". They do the same thing later on in Orbulon's stage. After the stages completion, Orbulon claims the temple as his new ship, and the Splunks, once again, demand "Give it back!", and they thrash him sending the temple back down to Earth and when it lands, they throw Orbulon out with his old ship.

=== Pyoro ===
[[Image:Pyoro WarioWare.svg|right|thumb|64 px|'''Pyoro''']]

A character that has his own game in almost every WarioWare game, each game varying in style (these are unlocked by playing every microgame). Pyoro resembles a round red bird with a white belly and short wings, with a long, sticky, frog-like tongue. His first appearances in ''WarioWare: Mega Microgame$'' required the player to use his tongue to eat falling plants that knock out Pyoro if they hit him. A second game, ''Pyoro 2'', can also be unlocked by getting the high scores for every microgame, this time featuring a yellow Pyoro that, being full from the first game, spits seeds at the ever-falling plants.

In ''WarioWare: Touched!'' and ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', Pyoro must defend his tiny planet and four flowers from various insects, again using his tongue. Also, he appears while getting a souvenir in Twisted! and in the options menu in Touched.

In ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', Pyoro is able to fly using his short, stubby wings. He flies through the air while spearing insects with his beak and avoiding being knocked out of the air by them, occasionally fighting a spine-shooting, 6-eyed circle monster. Pyoro can also eat apples for points and power-ups, which include switching to using a super long tongue, having two smaller Pyoros flying in formation and attacking as well, or a shield of flowers that allows Pyoro to absorb bugs and grow larger.

Pyoro is a parody of the Morinaga's Japanese-only character Kyoro-chan (roughly translated as "Looking-Around Chan" or "Little Look-Around"). He is usually a mascot of Morinaga's Choco-Ball products.

=== Jimmy P. ===

First appearing in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', Jimmy P. is Jimmy T.'s almost identical double, though he doesn't seem to have any relation to him(In his stage description, he finishes with "I remind you of someone? I don't know what you're talking about!). Jimmy P. has a yellow afro, a Hawaiian shirt, and attends Club Spice (As opposed to Jimmy T's Club Sugar). He has his own stage in ''Smooth Moves'', in which he befriends a group of Dogs that dance with him (Which is almost exactly the same as Jimmy T's stage in the same game). The stage consists of games from the Ashley, Dribble and Spitz, Penny, and 9-Volt and 18-Volt stages. At the end of his story he comes face-to-face with Jimmy T., although the results of this are unknown. Despite their similarities, Jimmy P. claims he has never heard of Jimmy T.

=== Football player ===
An unnamed member of the Diamond City High Football team. Apparently has a crush on Mona and has problems talking to her. At the end of Mona's microgames in ''[[Wario Ware: Smooth Moves]]'', he scores the winning [[touchdown]] of the game and then tries to confess his love to Mona, but screws up.

=== Sal Out ===

A singer that appears in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' and ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]''. In ''Twisted!'', she appears on TV singing the Mona Pizza theme song during Mona's stage. In ''Touched!'', she is singing the Mona Pizza theme song in the souvenir obtainable by playing ''Touched!'' with ''Twisted!'' in the [[Game Boy Advance]] slot of the Nintendo DS. Her relationship with Mona is unknown. Her main hobby is singing.

Revision as of 03:07, 3 February 2008

This is a list of characters in the Wario Land and WarioWare, Inc. video game franchises.

Wario Land series

Wario

Main article: Wario

Wario (ワリオ) was designed as an antagonist to Mario, and first appeared in the 1992 handheld video game Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins as the main villain and final boss. Since that time, Wario has developed into the protagonist and antihero of his own video game franchise spanning both handheld and console markets, in addition to his numerous appearances in spin-offs of the Mario series. He is voiced by Charles Martinet, who also voices the Mario, Luigi, and Waluigi characters.

Captain Syrup

Captain Syrup is the main antagonist of Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 and Wario Land 2. She is the leader of a legion of seafaring thieves known as the Brown Sugar Pirates. She is a technological genius and inventor, constantly building mechanized apparatuses to assist her in attacking whatever target she chooses. Their base of operations is Kitchen Island, a gigantic coved island in the middle of nowhere, and their main mode of transportation is the S.S. Teacup, a massive pirate ship. In the first game, Wario hunts her down in order to steal a giant golden statue of Princess Toadstool that she stole from Mario, and after she is defeated, she vows revenge on him. She enacts on it during the second game by stealing all of Wario's treasure.

Rudy the Clown

Rudy the Clown is the main antagonist of Wario Land 3. He lures Wario into the music box world, claiming that he is the god of the world, in order to convince him to help break the seal that was placed upon him by the other creatures of the world. He asks him to break the seal, allowing him to keep any treasure that he finds along the way, which convinces Wario. After the seal is broken, he reveals himself and attacks Wario. Wario defeats him, and the curse on the other inhabitants is broken. Rudy returns in the video game Dr. Mario 64, where he and Mad Scienstein concoct a plan to steal the Megavitamins from Dr. Mario because he has a cold, and desires to be able to cure any illness.

Princess Shokora

Princess Shokora is a mythical princess who appears in Wario Land 4. She has a curse placed upon her by the Golden Diva that forces her to live in the body of a shape shifting black cat. Throughout the game, she helps Wario by selling him items prior to boss battles. After defeating the Golden Diva at the end of the game, the curse placed upon her is broken and she takes her true form, which varies depending on how many treasures Wario managed to obtain from the bosses.

Golden Diva

The Golden Diva is the main antagonist of Wario Land 4. She is a large, floating golden woman that was cursed by her own greed, turning her into a hideous monster. She wears a mask to conceal her true appearance. She is the one responsible for transforming Princess Shokora into a cat and stealing her treasure.

Black Jewel

The Black Jewel is the main antagonist of Wario World. It is an evil, brilliant-cut black gem that is motivated by greed. When Wario finds it, it destroys his castle and turns all of his treasure into monsters. When the black gem finally appears, it has one eye and several pink tentacles, and it attacks with fire and shockwaves.

Goodstyle

Goodstyle is an ally of Wario in Wario: Master of Disguise. He is an animated wand with a face that Wario steals from Count Cannoli. Goodstyle aids Wario by giving him advice and allowing him to transform into different costumes. It is eventually revealed that Goodstyle was the first member of the Cannoli family who sealed the evil Terrormisu into the Wishstone. After doing this, Goodstyle transformed himself into a powerful wand to aid a warrior in defeating the Terrormisu once in for all. After having Wario reassemble the pieces of the Wishstone and defeating Terrormisu, Goodstyle gives all the treasure he owned to Wario as thanks for defeating Terrormisu.

Count Cannoli

Count Cannoli is an antagonist in Wario: Master of Disguise. He is a self-proclaimed "master thief", who is really no more than an amateur that is only able to accomplish anything while using Goodstyle's powers to become his alter-ego, the Silver Zephyr. After Wario steals the wand, his only means of fighting back are a variety of gadgets and machines that he has designed. Once he discovers that Wario is trying to hunt down the pieces of the Wishstone, Cannoli remembers that it is his family's duty to keep them apart, and begins dogging Wario's heels even more closely, trying to keep the pieces away from him. Eventually, he is forced into an alliance with fellow thief and antagonist, Carpaccio, in an attempt to stop Wario.

Carpaccio

Carpaccio is the main antagonist for much of Wario: Master of Disguise. He is a brilliant chemist who runs the company known as Sigil Securities. However, he uses his knowledge of security systems and science for evil, becoming a true master thief with the aid of his mind and his money. The Carpaccios, having worked with the Cannoli family for generations, also have a duty to keep the Wishstone from combining. Eventually, he is forced into an alliance with fellow thief and antagonist Cannoli in an attempt to stop Wario.

Terrormisu

Terrormisu is an evil demon who once exploited a pharoah's greed to destroy an entire civilization. He is sealed into the Wishstone by Goodstyle long before the events of Wario: Master of Disguise take place. As Wario collects the pieces of the Wishstone during the game, Terrormisu spots her chance, and is able to project her image into the real world once Wario passes by a volcano that happens to be a nexus of dark power. She takes the form of a young mysterious woman, calling herself "Tiaramisu" to trick Wario into thinking she is friendly. After collecting all of the pieces of the Wishstone, she is able to escape, but is soon defeated by Wario.

18-Volt is 9-Volt's best friend, and a fan of video games. He is a gigantic fellow, and when not speaking alongside with 9-Volt, he almost always limits his statements to "Word." Despite his size, he goes to Diamond Elementary School. His other defining trait is the boom box he always carries; his loud music gets him into trouble on his first day of school, although he soon finds an admirer in 9-Volt.

Ashley

Ashley is a witch in training who lives in a mansion in Diamond City with a little devil named Red. She is very emotionless and rarely ever smiles.

These changes remain for part of WarioWare: Smooth Moves.

Fronk

Fronk is a strange, blocky, yellow species of creatures. They appear constantly throughout all the WarioWare games, both in microgames and cutscenes. 9-Volt apparently even keeps one of them as a pet, calling it "Shag".

Mona

Mona is a high school student with a different part-time job in each game. Mona is quite adventurous, and savvy. She thinks Wario is always one degree ahead of cool, and likes money.
