Character Sheet: 5-Volt (Wario Ware)

5-VOLT

Let's begin our character sheets for our Wario Ware characters. Although it felt a little touch and go there, with most gameplay not being tied to the characters themselves, each one did do enough across the nine games to warrant their inclusion, with the only one I really had to fudge a little being Mike. (At that point, with everyone else in, it just felt a little wrong to leave him out). Either way, here they are:

1. Wario
2. Biker Wario
3. Mona
4. Jimmy T.
5. Ashley & Red
6. 9-Volt
7. 18-Volt
8. 5-Volt
9. Kat and Ana
10. Young Cricket
10e. Master Mantis
11. Dribble & Spitz
12. Dr. Crygor
12e. Penny Crygor
13. Mike
14. Orbulon
15. Lulu

5-Volt is a character that hasn't seen that much screen time, mostly just appearing in the background of 9-Volt's stories on occasion, simply playing the role of his mother. She has come into her own in recent titles, what with her terrifying appearance in 9-Volt's Game & Wario story that then made for an excellent Smash stage, alongside the revelation that she's a bit of a gamer herself (beating both 9-Volt and 18-Volt's high scores), and then got an entire story of her own in Wario Ware: Gold. In that story, she watches an infomercial for a super-frying pan that requires a special workout to use it. Upon doing the workout, 5-Volt discovers she has developed super-strength as a result. Happy mother's day, 5-Volt. This one's for you!

Here's her moveset:

Standard B: Frying Pan
5-Volt whips out the frying pan that required super strength to use, swinging it as hard as she can and spinning like a cyclone. This move is a major heavy hitter if it can be pulled off right.

Side B: Floodlight Vision
Her eyes will light up like floodlights and scan the stage, starting directly in front of her and rising until the beam is directly horizontal. If it connects with anyone, she will then briefly take on her monstrous appearance and roar, sending the opponent flying.

Up B: Balloon Fighter
An 8-Bit Balloon Fighter will pop up, grab 5-Volt, and carry her high into the sky before dropping her after it can't carry her anymore. This game is particularly prevalent across their games, so I suppose it's fitting for the most part.

Down B: Amiibo
Once again, this move was shared by her son and his best friend, it only fits that she share the move as well. Hers will be 64-bit graphics, rather than the 8-bit and 16-bit graphics of the others, and they will include: Donkey Kong, who will roll around the stage, punching characters; Mario Kart, which will race forward; Yoshi, who will stand in one place and chuck eggs; Fire Emblem, with the general staying by 5-Volt and protecting her from attack while sending soldiers to each opponent to attack them; and Young Link from Ocarina of Time, who will run around with his shield up and attack with his sword.

Final Smash: Gamer
What else could it be? It will be a magnified version of her side B, with 5-Volt leaving the stage through a bedroom door that appears, before spotlights search the stage from all direction and landing on each opponent, before her monstrous form appears in the background and roars, sending everyone flying.

Entrance: Stepping through a bedroom door.

Taunts: Playing with her son's Game Boy, maybe sweeping the stage a bit, waving high to the audience in a sweet way, so on.

Thanks for reading! Next up, we'll cover the Kindergarten ninjas, Kat and Ana!
