{{quote|I'm 18-Volt. My hobby is music! Check it out!|18-Volt|WarioWare: Twisted!}}
'''18-Volt''' is a major character in the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. He is a great friend of [[9-Volt]], with whom he 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}}.

==History==
===''WarioWare'' series===
====''WarioWare: Twisted!''====
[[File:918meetsWWT.png|thumb|left|18-Volt & 9-Volt meet for the first time in ''WarioWare: Twisted!'']]
18-Volt is the only new employee of [[WarioWare, Inc.]] introduced in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' On his first day at Diamond City Elementary, the teacher asks him what his hobby is, to which he responds by taking out his boom box and playing loud music.

18-Volt gets in trouble for this, and after school, he heads for his house, depressed. However, 9-Volt stops him and states that he enjoys 18-Volt's music. The two of them become fast friends and he invites him over to his [[9-Volt's House|house]]. When they get there, 18-Volt is ecstatic to see that 9-Volt has a [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], and the duo spend a lot of time playing on the system. Eventually, 9-Volt's mother, [[5-Volt]], tells her son it is past his bedtime, and 18-Volt goes home.

====''WarioWare: Touched!''====
[[File:9-Volt 18-Volt prologue WarioWare Touched.png|thumb|9-Volt & 18-Volt are still playing ''36-Volt Man'' when it gets dark.]]
In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', 18-Volt & 9-Volt head to the [[Toy Express]] to get a copy of the coveted, new [[Nintendo GameCube]] game, ''[[36-Volt Man]]''. 9-Volt snatches one and shows it happily to 18-Volt, who is carrying his boom box on his shoulder. The two friends quickly return to 9-Volt's house, curious about their new game. On their way, they pass the alien [[Orbulon]], who is running after his [[Oinker]].

At the house, 18-Volt & 9-Volt play far into the night and reign victorious in the game. To celebrate their success, 9-Volt spins records again, while 18-Volt dances behind him with his boom box, but it gets so late that the two gamers fall asleep.

In the morning, when they wake up, it is already 9:00 A.M. 18-Volt & 9-Volt are shocked that they are late and rush to school.

====''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''====
[[File:9-Volt 18-Volt prologue WarioWare Smooth Moves.png|thumb|left|9-Volt showing his Game & Watch to 18-Volt.]]
18-Volt visits 9-Volt again in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. There, he shows a [[Game & Watch]] handheld console to his tall friend and plays with it. 18-Volt firstly mistakes it for a [[nwiki:Nintendo DS Lite|Nintendo DS Lite]]. He wants to see more of the console and grabs it. 9-Volt, still holding the console, informs him that he is still playing. Being impatient, 18-Volt tries to pull the Game & Watch out of 9-Volt's hands, but 9-Volt tugs on the other side of the console. This causes the Game & Watch to break into two. 9-Volt gets furious and commands 18-Volt to leave his house.

18-Volt, feeling remorseful, tries to find a new Game & Watch for 9-Volt. He first looks in Toy Express, but they do not have what he desires. After departing from the store, 18-Volt notices another store where some gamers line up. He gets into the store and the owner of the shop, [[Satoru Iwata|Shop Manager Iwata]], coincidentally has the searched Game & Watch on offer. 18-Volt reaches for it, but surprisingly, 9-Volt does the same. The friends face each other and they both excuse each other for their mistakes. 9-Volt tells 18-Volt that he wants to always be 18-Volt's P2 (Player 2), and all goes well after that.

====''WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase''====
[[File:WWDIYS 18-Volt Intermission.png|thumb|The intermission for 18-Volt's stage.]]
In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'', 18-Volt now has his own set of [[microgame]]s, in which he stars in a game called ''Jet 18Volt'', similar to 9-Volt's microgame set in ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' In a bird's eye view of [[Diamond City]], 18-Volt flies in mid-air and shoots an army of [[Fronk]]s that join together to form the number of the score. His microgames share the same theme as 9-Volt's, which is [[Nintendo]].

After 9-Volt left WarioWare, Inc. to work for [[Diamond Software]], 18-Volt, who continues working for Wario, appears to view him as a rival after his departure, as suggested by his role as a boss in his game (as well as their interaction after the boss game is completed), and his greeting to the player where he insists that he works at "twice the power of that other guy you might be thinking of".

====''Game & Wario''====
18-Volt returns in ''[[Game & Wario]]'' once again alongside 9-Volt. He holds his own mode in [[Gamer]]. In their story, 18-Volt & 9-Volt are playing their new console and 18-Volt bursts into tears and pounds the floor in a tantrum when 9-Volt gets a score higher than his. 5-Volt takes the console and orders them to do their homework. They do so, but they get jealous when they find out she got a score higher than both.

He holds a mode in Gamer. He plays [[microgame]]s on the console, but unlike 9-Volt's mode, his mode is timeless and with no interruptions.

====''WarioWare Gold''====
[[File:WWG 18-Volt vs 13-Amp.png|left|225px|thumb|18-Volt engaging 13-Amp in a rap battle.]]
18-Volt appears once more in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', as the host of the fourth stage of the Twist League of the [[Wario Bowl]]. His microgames are of the Nintendo Classics genre. In his stage, he walks along [[Emerald Street]] only to stop when he notices [[Ralphie]] crying to see what is wrong. Ralphie points to [[13-Amp]], who stole his video games including his prized [[Nintendo 3DS]]. 18-Volt challenges 13-Amp to a rap battle with the conditions being that she has to give him Ralphie's games if she loses but 18-Volt has to give her his games if she wins. (The Japanese version of ''WarioWare Gold'' specifies that 18-Volt will give up a [[Nintendo Switch]].) This rap battle is the stage, with 18-Volt winning the bar for each microgame the player wins and losing the bar for each microgame the player loses. The stage ends with 18-Volt winning, who returns the stolen items to Ralphie. Afterward, 13-Amp asks what school 18-Volt goes to. He explains he is a fourth grader at [[Diamond City Elementary]], and as he leaves he says he is available at the playground for a rematch. Post stage dialogue states that 13-Amp has not taken the offer.

18-Volt is symbolically represented by graffiti of a tiger with a point of brown hair holding a disc, just like 18-Volt's. This iconography appears in the background during the intro cutscene, and the Touch Screen in the stage shows his graffiti dueling 13-Amp's own. The tiger grows bigger when the player wins microgames but shrinks when the player loses.

In the English and European Spanish versions of ''WarioWare Gold'', 18-Volt only stakes his games in the rap battle because of 13-Amp gloating that she is better than other people at rapping.

18-Volt also appears in the [[List of WarioWare Gold microgames|Potluck Gang]] set of the Ultra League, where he goes on a camping trip with Orbulon, [[9-Volt]], [[Ashley]], [[Red (WarioWare series)|Red]], [[Dribble & Spitz|Dribble, Spitz]], [[Mike]], and [[5-Volt]]. He brings vegetables to the potluck and is then seen playing cards with the rest of the group. When one of his microgames is played, he plays a card. If the player wins, the design of the card is based on 18-Volt.

In the ending, 18-Volt joins Wario's friends in requesting Wario pay them. He admonishes Wario's plan to run away with the money and joins the others in divvying it up. In the credits, 18-Volt appears alongside 13-Amp on Emerald Street.

====''WarioWare: Get It Together!''====
[[File:WWGIT 18-Volt.png|thumb|Artwork from ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'']]
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.

====''WarioWare: Move It!''====
[[File:WWMI 18-Volt Net.png|thumb|150px|right|18-Volt as seen in ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'']]
In ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'', 18-Volt, along with the rest of the WarioWare cast, join Wario on his vacation to [[Caresaway Island]]. 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.

[[File:Screenshot WarioWare Move It Remix 2 Group 1.png|thumb|left|200px|Spitz, 9-Volt, Jimmy T and 18-Volt balance on Poolopus' tentacle]]
18-Volt also appears in the second Remix stage, "Pool-Party Panic". After Kat & Ana accidentally get a ball lodged in [[Poolopus]]'s mouth, 18-Volt joins the rest of the crew in trying to remove it, only to be flung into the air before landing on a moving tour bus.

18-Volt, along with the rest of the WarioWare cast appear in the final stage, "Lava at First Sight", where they all dance to defeat [[Volcano Wario]]. After Wario is launched from the volcano, the cast enjoys their vacation, while Wario is stuck inside a temple.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], there are a few items of 18-Volt. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', there is a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] of 18-Volt that can be equipped to any fighter in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]] to increase the power of their arm-based attacks by four points. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', 18-Volt appears alongside 9-Volt as an Ace-class {{iw|smashwiki|support spirit}}, which grants immunity to electric floors when equipped on a fighter. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] is located on the [[smashwiki:Base|Base]] sub-map of [[smashwiki:The Light Realm|The Light Realm]], and in its corresponding battle, the player has to fight [[Incineroar]] (in its green costume) and [[Villager]] (in his yellow costume) on the [[Gamer (stage)|Gamer]] stage. The core obtained from the 9-Volt & 18-Volt spirit can be combined with a [[smashwiki:Nintendog|Labrador Retriever]]'s core to summon [[nookipedia:K.K. Slider|DJ K.K.]]'s spirit.

18-Volt makes an appearance in the Wario... Where? challenge set of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. [[rhythmheaven:Super Samurai Slice|Super Samurai Slice]] stars a katana-wielding 18-Volt (with 9-Volt riding on his back) fending off assaults by demonic spirits to rescue [[Sal Out]].
{{br}}

====''Tetris 99''====
From September 17 to September 21, ''[[Tetris 99]]'' ran the 24th Maximus Cup which featured a ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'' theme, where 18-Volt is represented by the "S" tetromino.

==General information==
===Microgames===
9-Volt & 18-Volt come with their own set of microgames in all games of the ''WarioWare'' series between ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' and ''WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase''. For the two previous games and in ''WarioWare: D.I.Y.'', he develops his games solo. However, it is not known how much he shares in the creation of the games. For example, in ''WarioWare: Touched!'' 9-Volt says "our games", but in ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' he only speaks about "my games" in the character select menu, and 18-Volt is not even mentioned by name in the menu.

The microgames are based on products of Nintendo, mainly on game software and hardware, but also on merchandise from the time before Nintendo became popular as a video game company. Microgames based on the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'']] franchise are featured in every ''WarioWare'' game.

In ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', the microgame set of 9-Volt & 18-Volt is called [[List of microgames in WarioWare: Twisted!#9-Volt & 18-Volt's Microgames: Spintendo Classics|Spintendo Classic]]s. In this game, all their microgames are based on Nintendo Entertainment System games. While the microgames of most of the other developers involve a particular style of gameplay per developer, the microgames of them require various kinds of spin techniques.

In ''WarioWare: Touched!'', the name of 9-Volt & 18-Volt's set of microgames is [[List of microgames in WarioWare: Touched!#Retro Action|Retro Action]]. Again, the choice of Nintendo products is much more versatile than in the prior game. Also, newer products from the 21st century are featured. The microgames include a variety of ways of using {{button|ds|Stylus}} and also the application of the [[Nintendo DS#Microphone|microphone]], while most other microgame sets involve a particular technique again.

In ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', 9-Volt & 18-Volt's [[List of WarioWare: Smooth Moves microgames#9-Volt & 18-Volt|set of microgames]] involves nearly all possible forms. Considerably more microgames are based on Nintendo products contemporary to the [[Wii]]. An example is [[Brain Age]], which is based on the [[Nintendo DS]] game, ''[[nwiki:Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!|Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!]]''

In ''WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase'', 18-Volt goes solo and has created a separate set of Nintendo themed microgames, while his friend 9-Volt goes solo for the first time since ''[[WarioWare: Mega Party Game$]]'', in ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]''

In ''WarioWare Gold'', 18-Volt is solo in the Twist League with his set of Nintendo-themed microgames, many of which originate from ''WarioWare: Twisted!''.

--Volt visits 9-Volt again in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. There, he shows a [[Game & Watch]] handheld console to his tall friend and plays with it. 18-Volt initially mistakes it for a [[nwiki:Nintendo DS Lite|Nintendo DS Lite]]. He wants to see more of the console and grabs it. 9-Volt, still holding the console, informs him that he is still playing. Being impatient, 18-Volt tries to pull the Game & Watch out of 9-Volt's hands, but 9-Volt tugs on the other side of the console. This causes the Game & Watch to break into two. 9-Volt gets furious and commands 18-Volt to leave his house.

 -Volt, feeling remorseful, tries to find a new Game & Watch for 9-Volt. He first looks in Toy Express, but they do not have what he desires. After departing from the store, 18-Volt notices another store where some gamers line up. He gets into the store and the owner of the shop, [[Satoru Iwata|Shop Manager Iwata]], coincidentally has the searched Game & Watch on offer. 18-Volt reaches for it, but surprisingly, 9-Volt does the same. The friends face each other and they both excuse each other for their mistakes. 9-Volt tells 18-Volt that he wants to always be 18-Volt's P2 (Player 2), and all goes well after that.

 -Volt is symbolically represented by graffiti of a tiger with a point of brown hair holding a disc, just like 18-Volt's. This iconography appears in the background during the intro cutscene, and the Touch Screen in the stage shows his graffiti dueling 13-Amp's own. The tiger grows bigger when the player wins microgames but shrinks when the player loses.
-In the English, European French, and European Spanish versions of ''WarioWare Gold'', 18-Volt only stakes his games in the rap battle because of 13-Amp gloating that she is better than other people at rapping.

He brings vegetables to the potluck and is then seen playing cards with the rest of the group. When one of his microgames is played, he plays a card.

 In the ending, 18-Volt joins Wario's friends in requesting Wario pay them. He admonishes Wario's plan to run away with the money and joins the others in divvying it up. In the credits, 18-Volt appears alongside 13-Amp on Emerald Street.
