He is a great friend of [[9-Volt]] and shares his love of video games. 18-Volt makes his first appearance in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', where he becomes a new student at [[Diamond City Elementary]] and soon befriends 9-Volt. In the original Japanese versions, he speaks in the {{wp|Hakata dialect}}. | ||

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; | As a playable character, 18-Volt sits in one place and does not move.

His biggest disadvantage is his aforementioned inability to move; rings are featured in microgames that prioritize movement. 18-Volt can throw a disc at the rings to grab onto them in order to move around in these microgames, 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. | ||
