Character Sheet: Ashley & Red (Wario Ware)

ASHLEY & RED

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

Who's the girl next door living in the haunted mansion? You'd better learn her name, because it's Ashley! She knows the darkest spells and she brews the meanest potions. You might be the ingredient she seeks. Don't let yourself be fooled by her innocent demeanor. You'd better be afraid of the great Ashley! Ashley and her demonic companion Red first debuted in Wario Ware Touched, four games into the series, but quickly became a fan favorite, appearing in every game since (except Snapped), and making appearances as an assist trophy in Super Smash Bros.

Most of her stories in the games feature her trying and often failing to brew a potion, learn a spell, or summon a demon. In Touched, she brewed a potion only to mess it up and send Red to try and catch Orbulon to fix it. In Smooth Moves, she attempts to cast a spell on a potted plant, receives instruction from a cursed spellbook, and ends up changing it into a giant monster plant. In D.I.Y., she is filming a movie with Red, with a number of ghosts as the crew. In Game & Wario, she transports herself accidentally into a world of candy and cookies, and has to get out by flying on her broom and using Red as a wand to cast spells, in a bullet hell-shooter style game. Finally, in Gold, she transports herself into the demon world to stop a demon from eating all the food there. She can also maybe grow gigantic as shown when Orbulon bumps into her, and she brings a mandrake for the pot-luck picnic with the other characters. Her microgames tend to vary, though food is a very common motif for her.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Red
This one is to control Red and determine what he does in the fight. If he is in wand form, using this move will send him out away from you to attack on his own, similar to the Lumas. If he is already separate from you, this move will call him back and turn him into a wand again, and your attack power will go up as a result.

Side B: Monster Plant
She will use her wand and spellbook to cast a spell directly ahead of her, which, once it touches the ground, will explode into a monster plant and wrap its vines around you and hold you fast. The size changes depending on Red's current state.

Up B: Broomstick
Ashley will hop on her broom and circle into the sky. Pretty basic really here. If Red is in wand form, he will shoot off spells directly below you as you do.

Down B: Potion
This one will be a staged move, similar to Villager's tree. First she will place her pot down on the ground. The second time, you can stir the pot. Finally the third time, Ashley will wave her wand and lightning from the sky will strike where the other players are currently standing.

Final Smash: Pantalones Gigantus
Ashley will grow to her ginormous, white-haired size and cast the spell in the song, generally causing the other players' clothing to expand to ridiculous proportions and send them flying.

Entrance: She and Red will fly out of a portal into her spellbook.

Taunts: Ashley's glower she does whenever she feels insecure, maybe her and Red playing, pulling out a mandrake, etc.

Thanks for reading about the coolest girl you'll ever meet! Next up, let's visit that Nintendo nerd, 9-Volt!

Character Sheet: Jimmy T. (Wario Ware)

JIMMY T.

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

15. Lulu

Jimmy T., or Jimmy Thang, is another employee of Wario Ware Inc. and often the one in charge of the remix segments of the games, either him or his various family members, including Mama T., Papa T., James T., Jamie T., and Jimmy P. This character slot technically represents all of them, as they will appear as most of the color swaps, but Jimmy will take the top spot and the two remaining slots. He's a cool dude with a rockin' blue afro and can often be seen kicking it at the local nightclub Club Sugar.

His stories are often fairly basic, with him dancing at a nightclub and that's about it. In Twisted, he learns the art of taking selfies, while in Touched, he gets bugs in his fro and has to scratch them out. In Smooth Moves, he gives an umbrella to a cat, resulting in him getting a group of cat followers. His connection to cats is further cemented by Gold, where he gets a cat stuck in his hair. In D.I.Y., he becomes an aerobics instructor, and in Game & Wario, he goes skiing himself. In general, many of his moves will be based on disco or aerobics as that's kind of the be-all-end-all of the character. Strangely, a large number of his microgames are sports related, including his skiing from before, but also jumping hurdles, playing basketball, skateboarding, bouncing on a trampoline, boxing, and throwing a medicine ball are all frequent motifs that show up for the character. Honestly, he may be one of those with more moves based on his microgames than many of the others. Let's see what we can do!

Here's the moveset I came up with (most of his Smash and other standard moves and so on will also be based on actual disco, aerobics, and sports moves):

Standard B: Selfie
Jimmy will spin dramatically, doing some damage, before stopping and posing to take a selfie. The camera flash will stun anyone standing behind him.

Side B: Hurdle
Jimmy will make a skiing motion quickly to the right before making a jump. A hurdle will appear behind him after he makes the jump, tripping up anyone heading his way. This is based mostly on his most common sports motifs.

Up B: Trampoline
Small trampolines appear often throughout the Wario Ware series, used by Jimmy, but also by Wario and other characters. Really, who better to represent them. Jimmy will bounce on the trampoline, launching himself into the air and posing dramatically with each jump.

Down B: Protect the Cat
This is a bit of a counter move, based on the frequently seen microgame of having to protect a cat from the rain, and hearkens back to Jimmy's own storyline in which he does just that. A small cat will pop out in front of Jimmy and he will protect it with an umbrella. If an attack lands on said umbrella, the cat will swipe back at the character.

Final Smash: Disco Party
This one will be a bit cinematic, as neon disco lights will flash around and Jimmy, possibly accompanied by his family and cats, will put on the performance of a lifetime, at the end of which any characters hit will be sent flying as the crowds cheer.

Entrance: I imagine Jimmy would just walk on stage all cool-like.

Taunts: This man lives for taunts. Honestly, take your pick. You won't go wrong.

Thanks for reading! Next up, you better learn her name, because it's ASHLEY!

Character Sheet: Mona (Wario Ware)

MONA

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

Today, it's time to talk about Mona, a high school senior living in Diamond City and one of Wario's regular employees. She's a bit of a busy go-getter, switching between part time jobs from game to game and always on the move. She's also got a crush on Wario of all people, even though she tends to be the first one to call him out on his crap most of the time? Eeh, she likes what she likes, I guess. Who am I to judge.

Across the different names, she has worked at a gelateria, a pizza place (named after her somehow), a singer in a band, an explorer, and a photographer for a newspaper. She is also the head cheerleader at her high school. All of these can definitely play a part in her moveset, and arguably give her enough to work with already. Most of her early games tended to feature her on her moped, being chased down by the police, a rival pizza company, or a rival singer, while she has to be defended by her companions: an elephant, a pig, and a monkey; all of whom throw things off the back to trip the pursuers up. In Touched specifically, her bandmates Art and Deco also help her out. Her microgames often vary, though they often fall into the category of "strange" which seems to generally mean "slice of life" kinda stuff. Strangely, despite it only being her job once, her role as a pizza girl has kinda stuck to her identity, so I imagine it should be touched on.

Here's the moveset I came up with for her:

Standard B: Shutter
This one is based on her game in Game & Wario, where she works as a photographer. She will pull out her camera and snap a picture, her camera flashing and stunning the opponent for a brief second. It would be fun to work in the pictures she takes in some way, adding them to your collection, but I suppose it doesn't matter.

Side B: Moped
Obviously this had to be included, it is easily one of the most consistent features in all of her appearances. It's probably about as iconic as Wario's bike. I would wager it would function much the same as the bike, possibly even just for giving them that connection with each other.

Up B: Cheerleader Throw
This one is based on her appearance in Smooth Moves, where she acts as a cheerleader. Her squad will appear around her and toss her into the air, while she holds a baton over her head and spins it for minimal damage.

Down B: Animal Buddies
When she presses this button, one of her three animal companions will appear at random. The elephant will spew sludge across the stage, acting like the paint of other characters. The monkey will toss a banana peel. And the pig will kick out a soccer ball. Both of these items will function as normal.

Final Smash: Mona Pizza
While I was tempted to include the Pizza Dinosaur used by her rival company, I instead chose to base her final smash on her tutorial microgame at the start of her Twisted run of games. A giant pizza will rise behind the stage, spinning left and right as pepperonis fly from the foreground onto the pizza, smacking and doing damage to any players they hit as they fly. All the while, Mona Pizza's theme song will play.

Entrance: Mona's alarm will ring and she will say "Uh oh, gotta go!"

Taunts: Rocking with her bandmates, eating a slice of pizza OR eating some gelato, or just dancing maybe.

Thanks for reading! Next up, we'll cover that cool disco cat, Jimmy T.!

Character Sheet: Biker Wario (Wario Ware)

BIKER WARIO

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

Today, we begin our new characters, with an alt character for Wario. Whereas the character we covered yesterday mostly represented Wario in his Wario Land and Mario series appearances, this version is all about Wario Ware and is decked out in his iconic biker outfit. Wario Man is also included here, as a powered-up form of the character, similar in some ways to the Joker's Arsene. This will be the most similar to Wario's current smash form, though to be honest, having watched these game's through, I'm still not certain where some of the moves came from, with his Up B, Down B, and regular B all seeming to be original creations based on the general concept of the character, rather than actual gameplay.

Out of all the characters in this series, Wario is the one who makes the most sense to base on the microgames themselves, so we can certain consider that as we play. His iconic motorcycle makes many an appearance, so that's a given. He is shown working out frequently, and often uses rockets or other items as getaway vehicles. He also takes on multiple forms for his big "final battles" of the games, if you will, with Tiny Warios and Wario Man being the most common, and Pirate Wario giving us a treat in Game & Wario. We can also consider things like the Form Baton into his moveset if need be. Many, many of his microgames do have to do with disgusting parts of his body in some way, like picking his nose and eating junk, so things like the waft and the bite aren't that odd per se. And then as Wario Man, he can also fly and has super strength, so we can factor that in as well. He also uses a bow and arrow, strangely, during his Game & Wario games. I'm going to avoid all the "toilet" stuff from Wario Ware Gold, as most of that can be applied to Lulu.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Mini Warios
With the prevalence of the Mini Warios throughout the series, it seems fitting to include them here. The move will act similar to Olimar's Pikmin throw, with the Mini Warios latching onto and biting the opponent, doing minimal damage. As Wario Man, he will throw a group of them, rather than just one at a time.

Side B: Motorcycle
Of course this had to be here. I'd say it's a rather key part of Biker Wario's identity, and it will act exactly as it does in the Smash series. As Wario Man, he will forego the bike and simply zoom across the stage at high speed.

Up B: Getaway Rocket
This one is based on Wario's penchant for trying to make a getaway at the end of the games rather than having to actually pay his employees. He will use the rocket from the very first game, launching himself into the sky. As Wario Man, he will actually fly upwards on his own.

Down B: Wario Waft
Source material or not, it's inclusion in Smash has made it nearly inextricable from the character's image. And his games often include some gross-out body stuff, so it's not completely out of left field. It will be significantly stronger as Wario Man.

Final Smash: Wario Man
This will be the trigger to his transformation. He will bite down on the Nasty Garlic and transform, using that initial burst of strength to beat up the character closest to him. After the attack is over, he will remain in the form, similar to Toadette and Peachette.

Entrance: Riding in on his motorcycle

Taunts: Picking his nose is common, getting dollar signs in his eyes, trying to figure out a new game console, so on.

Thanks for reading! Next up, we'll cover the closest thing Wario has to a lady love, Mona!

Character Sheet: Wario (Wario Ware)

WARIO

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

So, covering Wario is going to take a bit of explaining. In a way, there are two Warios. First there is the iconic Mario series Wario, best represented by him moves in the Wario Land games. The second is more the one we got in Smash, better represented by his appearance in Wario Ware. I was originally going to have Wario Man simply be the representative of the Wario Ware series, but I feel like Plumber Wario and Biker Wario have enough visual distinction as it is. Then there comes the problem of Wario Man and if he should be his own thing. In the end, I think I decided against that, and instead chose to make it kind of a Joker and Arsene kind of thing.

So, anyway, there won't be any changes to this one. I just wanted to include it in order to cover my bases. This is the Wario Land/Mario games version of Wario, wearing the yellow shirt and hat and purple overalls. If you have any issues with this decision, or if Biker Wario and Wario Man should be separate, please let me know below. Personally, I feel this is the best way to represent it all, but I'm open to other possibilities.

Here is his moveset:

Standard B: Dragon Helmet

Side B: Shoulder Rush

Up B: Jet Helmet

Down B: Enemy Effect

Final Smash: Wario's Plane

Entrance: crashing in his jetplane.

Taunts: I still like him throwing his shoe. Maybe the way he wiggles his butt in Shake It. His bashful expression with his index finger on his lower lip.

Thanks for reading! Next time, let's cover the Wario Ware version of the character!

Wario Ware: Gold

WARIO WARE: GOLD

And now, we come to the end of our run of Wario Ware games with Wario Ware: Gold, one of the last games release for the 3DS. The game's story revolves around Wario stealing a powerful treasure (toilet) from a distant village and holding a tournament with the treasure as the grand prize, only for a young girl named Lulu to strike out on a quest to get it back. Most of our crew returns, with full voice acting for all of them this time.

Wario's games are all the basic beginner stuff to get you used to the game, including holding a door, dodging a spotlight, stomping a Goomba, focusing a camera, pumping iron, pulling his mouth to catch stuff, slicing fruits, and stirring coffee. At the end of the game, he faces off with Lulu as the final boss, placing the treasure (toilet) on his head which somehow gives him superpowers (I don't want to know what that village had been eating). He then floats, throws lightning, and takes off in a balloon throne.

Jimmy's story involves a cat getting into his afro, prompting a bunch of girls to want to take pictures with him. His games are all sports-related, as is common, including fencing, shooting hoops, bouncing a ball, doing squats, lifting weights, jumping hurdles, passing a baton, jumping rope, and making a goal.

Mona's story sees her shopping for a dress to wear to a party that she later invites Gelato Joe to. Her game's are all called "That's Life" which honestly seems a better descriptor than "Strange." They include covering a cat with an umbrella, picking a nose, avoiding another pedestrian, pouring hot water, squirting ketchup, counting moles, finding a bathroom stall, catching a cookie, squirting eyedrops, and hammering a nail.

Dribble and Spitz's story sees them driving their taxi through outer space after dropping off a passenger getting attacked by flying saucers. They fend them off using their octobazooka. Their games are all "fantasy"-themed, including finding treasure, avoiding meteors, beating an octopus, hopping from clouds, steering a leaf, and sidestepping arrows.

9-Volt's mother 5-Volt gets her own set of games this time around. Her story features her watching an infomercial about a new frying pan and learning the workout needed to lift the thing, resulting in her gaining super strength. Her games are much like her son's, all being based around Nintendo games. These include Donkey Kong Country, Balloon Fight, Super Mario Kart, Mario Clash, Ocarina of Time, Ice Climber, Kid Icarus, Yoshi's Island, Super Mario Land, and Fire Emblem.

The game is divided into three groups, the Mash League, the Twist League, and the Touch League. While Mona, Jimmy, Dribble and Spitz, and 5-Volt were part of the Mash League, the next group lead the Twist League. Ashley's story features her summoning a starving demon, deducing it is the work of the demon Hum Gree, and entering her book to fight and defeat him. Her games are also "fantasy" like Dribble and Spitz, including sliding the moon, shaving the Earth, catching a butterfly, disarming an opponent, reflecting light, lighting a candle, running from a monster, and lowering a bridge.

Dr. Crygor's story sees him and Mike wandering through the woods in search of mushroom when they are attacked by a disgruntled maid robot named Doris 1. Crygor covers the sports games just like Jimmy, including arm wrestling, golfing, hula dancing, synchronized swimming, skiing, rock climbing, surfing, and shooting a watermelon.

In 18-Volt's story, he comes across a bully named 13-Amp and challenges her to a rap battle. His games are also Nintendo-related, including Super Mario World, Wind Waker, Donkey Kong Jr., Metroid, Golf, Super Mario Sunshine, Pikmin, Stack-Up, Dr. Mario, Super Metroid, Animal Crossing, and Super Mario Bros.

Penny's story sees her creating a "tonally transformative elixir" to give herself the voice of a pop star and trying it on her grandfather, resulting in him getting a stomachache. She covers the "That's Life" games, including shaving a beard, playing violin, trimming pigtails, balancing a ruler, extracting a tooth, sweeping leaves, sharpening a pencil, sewing, squeezing toothpaste, and tuning the radio.

Kat and Ana start off the Touch League with the "That's Life" category. Their story sees them going to take the test to get their Ninja learner's permits, but getting confused and entering an eating challenge instead. Their games include dragging a paper clip, unrolling toilet paper, tracing a kanji, poking birds, playing piano, threading a needle, ironing clothes, and grating a carrot.

9-Volt covers the Nintendo category of course, his story featuring him and his pet Fronk realizing he can do math if he thinks of it like an RPG. His games include Mii Maker, Donkey Kong, Nintendogs, Excitebike, just Cheep Cheeps, Wrecking Crew, Link Between Worlds, Amiibo, and finding the stylus.

Young Cricket covers the Sports category, with Cricket and Master Mantis visiting an amusement park to "train" themselves on the rides. His games include passing a ball, skiing, curling, doing situps, taking off clothes, riding a horse, doing a chin-up, swimming, and bowling.

Orbulon covers the fantasy games, and his story features him becoming obsessed with a fast food chain's hamburgers and ordering them until they run out. Wanting to help, he goes an abducts a bunch of pigs from a farm so that they will have enough "ham" to make the burgers, only to discover his mistake and keep the pigs as friends. (Have I mentioned, I really like the characters in this series. They're great.) Anyway, his game include throwing shurikens, spotting a ghost, tickling a pig, watering a flower, inflating a camel, and finding a thief.

At the end of the game, you have two Ultra League sets, with Mona, Penny, and Kat and Ana of the "That's Life" sets, and Jimmy, Dr. Crygor, and Young Cricket of the Sports sets, all dancing in a nightclub as you play through a mix of their games; and 9-Volt, 18-Volt, and 5-Volt of the Nintendo sets and Ashley, Dribble and Spitz, and Orbulon of the Fantasy sets having pot-luck picnic with each other. Mike and Fronk act sort of like the hosts of these games.

Finally, I must talk about Lulu. Obviously everything Wario can do with the toilet on his head could probably be attributed to Lulu as she comes from the village the treasure is from so could probably use it if she wants to. She is also shown using a squirt-gun, the Hydrocannon LX, and arrows against Wario, twisting to remove his crown, and floating on a balloon. She also makes friends with a dog, Ruffington, and takes a nap on him, and forces Young Cricket into a piggyback ride, but I don't know how much those things translate to Smash gaming.

The stages present in the game include Luxeville, where the toilet was stolen from, Diamond City Stadium, the farthest edge of space, Ashley's mansion, the agate forest, Penny's lab, the Diamond City Castle, Diamond City Elementary, Club Joe, and Diamond City Amusement Park.

Thanks for reading! Next up, let's get started on our character sheet. Except for Wario, I think they should all be new!

Game & Wario

GAME & WARIO

Game & Wario is a "kind-of" Wario Ware game, in that it stars all the Wario Ware characters, and is ostensibly part of the series, but it's gameplay is very different. Rather than the microgames that the series was known for, this one featured a bunch of Game & Watch style games, simple games that don't take too much complexity, but that can be played for quite a while. On the plus side, this is probably the one that's going to give characters the most for their own moveset potential outside of the microgames.

Wario's story features him learning about the new Wii U console on the TV and deciding to make his own money off of it by making games. Wario's first game is Arrow, inspired by him chasing a mouse and trying to shoot it with a bow and arrow. The game itself involves shooting arrows at a bunch of targets and enemies while avoiding cannonballs. At the end you fight a boss called Mecha Wario. His second match is Pirates, where he dresses up as a pirate. The game involves him directing pirate ships to shoot at you, while you have to move around to block the attacks.

In Mona's game, she is working as a photographer for a newspaper, her game Shutter being similar to games like Pokemon Snap, where you gave to get a good picture of specific targets. Jimmy's story involves him skiing down the hill. That's pretty much it. Kat and Ana's game, Patchwork, involves them using their katanas to cut fabric and make crafts with them, you mostly doing the same.

Young Cricket and Master Mantis's game, Kung Fu, features them training, Cricket having to cross a series of obstacle courses by jumping really high, in order to reach his master and have some dumplings. He could also lunge downward really fast, kind of like Sonic or Zero-Suit Samus's moves. 9-Volt's game, Gamer, is probably the most famous game out of all of this, having been the influence for a genuinely great Smash stage. He is playing Balloon Fighter late into the night, but has to watch for his mom 5-Volt, who will get very angry if she catches him.

Dr. Crygor's story sees him getting stuck to his toilet and sucked down the drain. His game, Design, has you drawing lines and shapes, eventually assembling a robot with them. Ashley's story sees her trying to transport herself into a picture full of monster, but accidentally sending herself into a candy world instead. Her game is then her riding Red as a broom, trying to escape as a flying shooter game.

Dribble and Spitz's game, Taxi, sees them driving around a small course while alien spacecraft are abducting citizens. Dribble drives around, while Spitz shoots lasers at the ships trying to take them down. A level at the end features all the characters coming together to go bowling. Another features a Pyoro bird trying to catch falling beans.

Now we come to the multiplayer games. Orbulon's sketch game is basically pictionary. Penny Crygor's Fruit sees one player acting as a thief, while the other players have to identify who the thief is. The Fronks get their own game this time, seeing them being catapulted from island to island for points. Finally, Mike's Disco game is a rhythm game, where the second player has to match the first's rhythm.

Once again, the game is set in Diamond City, with locations including Wario's House, Dr. Crygor's Lab, Toy Express, Club Sugar, and the Diamond City Times, among others. Each of the minigames could possibly function as stages as exemplified by Gamer.
