Glitch World

GLITCH WORLD

Wario Ware: Get It Together saw Wario and his team working on a brand-new game to compete with Pyoro’s recent release, only for a glitch to suck them all in and trap them in the game’s virtual world.

This game will take place on a set of platforms with the flat, glitchy landscape of the game’s code behind it. Throughout the fight, the stage will change intermittently to one of the microgames from this one, with the characters able to move around and affect it just like in the game.

Leo

LEO

In the game Wario Ware: Get It Together!, Kat and Ana’s game saw them arrive in a small village where a bunch of animals were getting into mischief. After knocking out one of the animals, they found a young ninja controlling it.

This is Leo, a new antagonist and rival for Kat and Ana, who would appear again in Move It! He can transform into animals and puppet them, using them to cause trouble for the sisters.

As a fighter, he will be incredibly fast and will have a selection of animals he can use to fight from a distance. His moveset will pull from his two major appearance.

Likelihood rating: Never gonna happen.

13-Amp

13-AMP

Over in 18-Volt’s personal story, he finds that one of his friends had his 3DS stolen. He finds the girl that stole it, and challenges her to a rap battle to get it back.

This is 13-Amp. After getting beaten, she develops a friendship with 18-Volt and reappears in his story in Get It Together, before joining the team of developers when they visit Caresaway Island in Move It!

As a fighter, she will be more or less a clone of 18-Volt, just adjusted slightly to have more of a musical focus. She won’t be quite as strong as 18-Volt, with more a focus on defense and speed.

Likelihood rating: Probably not.

Character Sheet: Leo

LEO

And now, with the release of Wario Ware: Move It! we gain three newcomers. However, since Cicada did originate as a Rhythm Heaven character, and only appeared briefly here, I have chosen to follow one side of the responses I received, and will be treating her as a guest character for now, leaving us with:

1. 13-Amp

2. Leo

Leo is a newer antagonist for Kat and Ana, appearing in Get It Together before returning in Move It! The twins first encounter him when he uses a special puppetry technique to take control of all the animals in a village and use them to terrorize it. Later, he steals some of their food, runs off with it, and ends up getting swallowed by Cractus. He can transform himself fully or partially into an animal, especially a pair of lion claws. He can also control other animals like puppets, disappear in a puff of smoke, and run at super speed.

Here's his moveset:

Standard B: Lion's Paw

His hands will change into lion paws, and he will slash at his opponents.

Side B: Super Speed

He will rush forward fast, smacking into opponents and automatically picking up items he passes.

Up B: Disappear

He will crouch and disappear in a puff of smoke, reappearing much higher.

Down B: Puppetry

One of the animals he controls will appear and attack a player for him.

Final Smash: Cractus

He will find himself swallowed by Cractus, who will then proceed to attack the stage with its vines.

Entrance: He will appear in a puff of smoke.

Taunts: Up, he will take up a ninja pose. Side, he will transform into a lion and dance for a second. Down, he will recline and enjoy a sundae.

Kirby Hat: His bushy hair.

Kart: Based on his lion form.

Special Move: Puppeted animals will move around him, randomly smacking into other vehicles.

Spirit Battle: On Glitch World, Kat and Ana supporting the player.

Victory Screen: He will look smug as a bunch of animals stand behind him.

Losing Screen: He will scream and try to get out of Cractus's mouth as he is dragged away.

Color Swaps: His normal outfit and hair, one designed to look like Kat, another like Ana, Young Cricket, Master Mantis, Cicada, black ninja garb, and white ninja garb.

Thanks for reading! Next up, I think I'm going to go ahead with it, and declare characters "open to third chances, but only on rare occasions." So, Wooster performs his duty!

Character Sheet: 13-Amp

13-AMP

And now, with the release of Wario Ware: Move It! we gain three newcomers. However, since Cicada did originate as a Rhythm Heaven character, and only appeared briefly here, I have chosen to follow one side of the responses I received, and will be treating her as a guest character for now, leaving us with:

1. 13-Amp

2. Leo

13-Amp originated in Wario Ware Gold as a new rival/friend for 18-Volt, competing against him in a rap battle and having a heavy musical focus. She would return in Get It Together, and even be treated as a developer in Move It! (despite still only being a supporting character in 9-Volt's story). As none of the "Volts" were echoes for each other, I think it works just fine for her to be an echo or semi-clone of 18-Volt, and so, she will be.

Here's her moveset:

Standard B: Boom Box

Probably with a much higher output to it.

Side B: DJ Record

To go along with the throwing disk from his hair, 13-Amp will use a record from a DJ's table to do the same.

Up B: Jetpack

Probably won't work as well as his would.

Down B: Amiibo

Hers will be all music-based. We'll have characters like Barbara from Daigasso, the Chorus Kids, characters from Rhythm Heaven, the band from Wii Music, and Donkey Kong playing bongos.

Final Smash: Rock Concert

She will become the DJ at a concert, with lights blaring around and people dancing, the music coming to a head and launching the player.

Entrance: She will come on with her boom box while rocking out to tunes.

Taunts: Up, she will throw her hands in the air in the "Rock On!" hand gesture. Side, she will work a DJ stand for a second. Down, she will play with a DS for a second.

Kirby Hat: Her hat

Kart: Based on a DJ stand

Special Move: Her kart will start playing music and getting boosts from the beat.

Spirit Battle: On Nintendo Classics, with 18-Volt.

Victory Screen: She will be rocking out to an amazing party.

Losing Screen: She will be slumped on a street corner, looking amazed.

Color Swaps: Her purple hat, a green hat, a red hat, a yellow hat, a black and red hat, a blue hat, a brown hat, a white hat.

Thanks for reading! Next up, Leo runs wild!

Lulu

The Wario Ware series would see multiple entries throughout the years, each time bringing back its colorful cast of characters with new unique mechanics, including a D.I.Y. game that let you design your own microgames, and a semi-spinoff in Game & Wario. In 2018, the series released Wario Ware Gold, one of the last games developed for the 3DS. The game’s story saw Wario stealing a precious treasure from the nearby Luxeville, only for him to then be challenged by a little girl determined to get it back.

This is Lulu, the hero of Luxeville who set out to take down Wario after he stole their community toilet. She would appear throughout the story of the game, eventually facing him in a showdown at the game’s end. Despite this history, she would apparently agree to work as one of his developers in the next game.

As a fighter, Lulu will have average stats, with a lot of good speed and aerials but not much power. Her moveset will pull from the various tools and weapons she uses against Wario in Gold as well as her ability to fly with her bow in Get It Together.

Likelihood rating: Probably not

Penny Crygor

Finally, Smooth Moves did not give Dr. Crygor a set of microgames of his own, but instead set him as a rival in an inventing competition against his own granddaughter, a spunky young girl with big dreams of becoming an inventor in her own right someday.

This is Penny, Dr. Crygor’s granddaughter and aspiring singer-scientist. She would appear regularly in all subsequent Wario Ware games, she and her grandfather helping devise the D.I.Y. system with so many of Wario’s other developers having quit, and later coming in clutch as the hero of Get It Together, complete with her own theme song.

As a fighter, she will be similar in nature to her grandfather, but not quite an echo. Her moveset will pull from some of her grandfather’s inventions, but also several of her own seen throughout the games.

Likelihood rating: Could happen

Master Mantis

Accompanying Young Cricket on his journey and training him in the ways of martial arts is his sensei, patterned as the Mr. Miyagi to his Daniel.

This is Master Mantis, a martial arts master who has taken Cricket under his wing to teach him. Mantis would not develop microgame sets of his own, instead acting as a supporting character in Cricket’s, but would become a playable character in Get It Together.

As a fighter, Master Mantis will be an echo fighter of his apprentice, having taught Cricket all the moves he knows. He will be strong in those areas where Cricket lacked, though he will be a bit slower with his advanced age.

Likelihood rating: Probably not

Mike

Another, less-immediately-popular new developer introduced in Touched! was a karaoke robot built by Dr. Crygor, who he then tasked, inexplicably, to spend all of his time doing house chores.

This was Mike, who would soon break free and follow his dreams to become a karaoke star. His line of games focused around the use of the DS’s microphone, another feature the developers wanted to highlight. Most of his future appearances would likewise have a heavy music influence.

As a fighter, Mike will be on the slower and heavier side, being a robot, with mostly music-based attacks. His moveset will pull from across his many appearance, whether a main developer or merely supporting.

Likelihood rating: Piranha Plant clause

5-Volt

After 9-Volt and 18-Volt form their friendship, 9-Volt takes his new pal back home to his house so they can play games together. This is where we get our first glimpse of 9-Volt’s mother, peeking in on her son and his companion from time to time.

This is 5-Volt, 9-Volt’s mother who wouldn’t rise to prominence until the release of Game & Wario, where 9-Volt’s personal game centered on his playing games late at night when he’s supposed to be sleeping, incurring his mother’s surprisingly demonic wrath. From there, she would go on to develop some of her own microgames, demonstrating her own love of gaming.

As a fighter, 5-Volt will have generally average stats, but with a ton of strength you wouldn’t expect from her. Her moveset will pull from her demonic alter ego, her super strength gained from her framing story in Gold, and her Nintendo-based microgames.

Likelihood rating: Piranha Plant clause

Pyoro

The framing story of the first game begins as Wario sees the citizens of Diamond City around him going crazy over a brand-new game that just came out, starring a silly red bird with an extendable tongue, prompting his jealousy over how much money the developers were making.

This video game character was Pyoro. He would appear regularly in bit roles throughout the series, typically with small little bonus games based on his in-universe video games. He would get a surprise boost in importance in Wario Ware: Get It Together when he would invade the game Wario and his friends were stuck in to join in on the fun.

As a fighter, he would be small with strong aerials, similar in nature to Yoshi, who he was based on. His moves would pull from his various bonus games as well as his boss battle and subsequent playability in Get It Together.

Likelihood rating: Probably not

Biker Wario

In 2003, Nintendo’s studio Intelligent Systems had a new idea for a new direction to take with Wario. It cast Wario as a game developer, who wanted to make the most money with the least effort possible and so created a series of microgames that would be over in about five seconds.

With this new game series came a redesign of Wario’s classic look. Rather than the hat and overalls of all the Mario plumbers, Wario now wore a biker’s outfit, complete with a ratty old Levi jacket and helmet.

This version of Wario has about the same stats as his Wario Land form, with maybe a bit more focus on speed instead of strength. His moves pull from the Wario Ware side of things, mostly the shenanigans he gets himself into in the games’ framing stories.

Likelihood rating: Already in

Character Sheet: Pyoro

PYORO

Today, let's begin our short-run of manga-based (and one Wario Ware) characters. I should note that many characters from Wario Ware also received upgrades to their movesets. For instance, 5-Volt gained her astrally-projected monster side as an Up B, and Penny Crygor incorporated her water pack for at least two moves, breaking her away from being an echo fighter for her grandfather. Other than that, here's our newcomers!

1. Mario-Kun

2. Tomboy Peach

3. Mechakuribo

4. Pyoro

With the premiere of Wario Ware: Get It Together, we saw all of our favorite Wario Ware developers get the chance to be playable in their microgames by getting sucked in. And, spoiler alert, Pyoro, the hero of the video game series Wario started his company to compete with in the first place, came to join the fun. In the game, he first takes the form of a monstrous final boss, sending his eyes forward and flying back and forth to attack. After revealing himself, he becomes a playable character in his own right, using his extendable tongue to reach out and grab things. Take this, and top it off with everything Pyoro has done with his mini-games before, including extending his tongue, spitting seeds at high speed, flying, and stretching his beak, I think we have a clear case.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Tongue Grab

His most iconic attack, he will extend out his tongue, similar to Yoshi, snagging a character and pulling them in closer to combo into.

Side B: Seed Spitter

He will fire seeds rapidly from his mouth as projectiles, sorta like a machine gun, but, you know, with seeds.

Up B: Flight

He will flap his wings with heavy effort, raising himself a short way off the ground slowly, pulling from his original inability to fly.

Down B: Golden Watering Can

Based on the item the Wario Ware developers had to assemble in order to defeat him, he will pull out the watering can and sprinkle in on the ground. A first sprinkle will cause a leaf to sprout. A second sprinkle will make it bulk up. The third will cause it to shoot straight into the air as a beanstalk, launching anyone too close.

Final Smash: Boss Battle

He will take on the boss form he transformed into in Get It Together, moving to the side of the stage and mostly reenacting his actions from the fight, charging forward, sending out a bunch of eyeballs, and biting at the characters.

Entrance: He will flutter in a video game 8-bit form.

Taunt: Up, he will extend his tongue and grab a seed out of the air, eating it. Side, he will flap his wings and rise for a second. Down, he will sit and play his own video game.

Thanks for reading! Next up, let's update our rosters!

Wario Ware: Get It Together!

WARIO WARE: GET IT TOGETHER!

Today, let's go over the newest game in the Wario Ware series, Wario Ware: Get It Together! In many ways, it is a standard Wario Ware game, with all the core microgame concepts and characters returning, except with a much more involved story mode with all the characters actually interacting with each other full time and the characters actually being playable in the microgames, each having special abilities you can use to accomplish the required tasks.

The plot sees Wario and his crew getting together to put together a new game, but due to Wario's laziness during programming, a bunch of bugs corrupted the game, resulting in them all getting pulled into it and having to play the games themselves. All of our favorites return, including Mona, Jimmy T., Dribble and Spitz, Kat and Ana, 9-Volt, 18-Volt, and 5-Volt, Ashley and Red, Young Cricket and Master Mantis, Dr. Crygor, Penny Crygor, and Mike, Orbulon, and even Lulu (I'd love to know how that hiring process went after her and Wario's enmity in the last game).

The controls are fairly basic for all of them, each having a specific gimmick. Wario has a jetpack and can charge forward, a familiar move from the Wario Land games. Young Cricket can perform a super jump, nothing new there. 18-Volt can throw the little disc on his head as a projectile, certainly something that can be a standard B or something. Mona rides her scooter, an old classic, and now throws a boomerang (add that if necessary). Dribble and Spitz have a 2-player gimmick with Dribble always firing a bazooka right and Spitz firing left. Dr. Crygor has a jetpack like he often has. 9-Volt rides around on a skateboard and uses a yo-yo as a weapon. Mike fires off music notes upward as projectiles (definitely can use that one). Kat and Ana are constantly bouncing. Jimmy T. can perform a super dash. Ashley flies around on her broom and casts spells as projectiles. Orbulon flies in his flying saucer and can pick things up from above with his tractor beam.

5-Volt's an interesting one. They took her "angry" form made famous by Game & Wario, and turned it into a sort of split personality that astrally projects from her body when she falls asleep, moves around freely, then instantly teleports her to its location by waking her up. Honestly, she basically did Haruno Sakura better in one game than the actual character did in 700 chapters and actually made use of the superpowered angry side. I sure hope the Wario Ware series never sees a three-year time skip wherein 5-Volt just decides to "mature out of" this superpower instead of training with and honing it. No mangak--I mean, game developer would be that stupid, right? Either way, new Up B. I don't remember what I had before, but it's not going to top this.

Red finally got to see a day as playable, though he mostly just flies around and drops bombs from above, so no upgrades for him today. Master Mantis can jump high enough to stick to the ceiling and walk around upside down. Lulu can now float by spinning her bow, and can finish it with a ground pound. New Up B for her too. And finally we have Penny Crygor, who this game did a lot of favors for. First of all, she got a brand new song just for her, and a catchy one at that, and she has personally invented a bubble shooting device called the Jet Tank 1, which she uses both to fire projectiles and as a flying contraption, giving her a personalized Up B and possible Standard B, meaning I think it's fair to upgrade her from echo to stand-alone character.

Character like Joe and 13-Amp return, alongside Leo, a rival ninja of Kat and Ana in their mini-story. Game Bugs also hop around everywhere and corrupt the game world around them, forming up into a big Wario monster for a boss battle. There's also the game's Supreme Developer, which is basically Wario's face super-imposed on an artistic representation of God. It's weird. Finally, we have Pyoro, a recurring character throughout the entire Wario Ware series as the protagonist of a popular game series which served as the catalyst for Wario making his microgame series in the first place. In this game, he plays a more active part, infiltrating Wario's game and acting as the final boss because he wanted to get in on the fun, becoming playable after his defeat. He can fly, stick out his tongue like Yoshi, and sends his eyes out to attack in his boss fight. All this, paired up with the little bits and pieces we've seen in previous games, means I think we've got ourselves a new character.

The internal world of Wario's game acts as the primary location of the game, with the characters finding each other and working together to defeat the bugs and get back to the real world. Outside of that, we see a lot of familiar locations, like Diamond City, Mona's House, Dr. Crygor's Lab, Penny's Lab, and so on. Not a whole lot special.

Here's what we've got so far:

Characters:

Wario: jetpack, charge

Mona: scooter, boomerang, pets

Jimmy T.: super dash

Ashley & Red: broom, spells, bombs

9-Volt: skateboard, yo-yo

18-Volt: head ring, used as grappling hook
