| |
| 18-Volt appears in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'' In the game's story mode, he appears in the opening cutscene, playing a video game with 9-Volt. He, along with the rest of the WarioWare, Inc. employees, gets sucked into the game world due to [[Wario]]'s actions.
| |
|
| |
| 18-Volt is the third character to be unlocked, following [[Young Cricket]], as he joins Wario in the first level immediately after Cricket does. After Wario's stage is complete, 18-Volt recognizes the creature that sabotaged Wario's stage as a [[game bug]] and explains their effects on games.
| |
|
| |
| Throughout the various pre-stage cutscenes, 18-Volt is shown being pushed by Young Cricket due to the former's inability to move.

| [[File:WWGIT 9-Volt Cutscene.jpg|thumb|left|18-Volt and 13-Amp following 9-Volt home]]
| |
| 18-Volt appears in the intro of 9-Volt's stage, where he is shown alongside 13-Amp following 9-Volt home and waves him goodbye.
| |
|
| |
| After beating Anything Goes, 18-Volt goes back to the real world alongside most of the other WarioWare, Inc. employees and chases after Wario after it is revealed their predicament was caused by his poor programming. However, they soon remember other people were left behind in the game world, and immediately return to rescue them.
| |
|
| |
| As a playable character, 18-Volt sits in one place and does not move. Tilting {{button|switch|leftstick}} in a direction moves an aiming reticle, and pressing {{button|switch|a}} makes him throw a disc following the trajectory. 18-Volt can shoot many discs in a short amount of time, and this ability makes him excel in microgames where quick, repeated actions are necessary to succeed (e.g. [[Shoo, Fly!]], [[Is Anyone Home?]], two of 20 microgames considered a good fit) and is effective in repelling hazards (e.g. [[Mean Magic]], [[Drop Zone]], [[Nintendo Badge Arcade (microgame)|Nintendo Badge Arcade]], three more good-fit games). His aiming reticle is also useful for microgames that require precision (e.g. [[Sayonara, Snakes]], [[Matching Masks]], two more good fits). However, his projectiles are generally weak in affecting large volumes of objects (e.g. [[Dig It]], one of 3 microgames considered a bad fit), and the positioning of 18-Volt himself requires careful aiming of his discs (e.g. [[Super Mario Land (WarioWare: Get It Together!)|Super Mario Land]] and [[Pop Goes the Party]], the other two bad-fit games). His biggest disadvantage is his inability to move; to resolve this, grappling rings are added in microgames that require movement. 18-Volt can throw a disc at the rings to grab onto them and move around, but may require more action as compared to [[9-Volt]] and [[Pyoro]] (the other two characters who use rings), whose horizontal movement can be monitored. 18-Volt has 104 microgames considered an above-average fit, 59 average fits, and 26 below-average fits.

He appears in [[9-Volt]]'s stage, "Quest in the Dark", alongside [[13-Amp]] and [[5-Volt]]. 18-Volt tells 9-Volt, who is playing a handheld video game, to join the group shopping at [[Pack-'Em-In Plaza]], but goes ahead with 13-Amp when 9-Volt says he has to save his game first. After 5-Volt is lured into [[Shopkeeper Polario]]'s shop, 18-Volt and 13-Amp are also lured in, with 18-Volt's disk falling off in the process. While 9-Volt tries to find everyone, he finds the disk on the ground and eventually tracks the group down to the back of the shop playing a [[Pyoro]] game.
