Ashley's [[microgame]]s in {{a|WWTOUCHED}} (collectively called "[[List of microgames in WarioWare: Touched!#Total Drag|Total Drag]]") consist of tapping and dragging objects.<ref>{{cite|author=Ashley|quote=Just drag stuff.

Ashley returns in {{a|WWSM|l}}. Her stage is titled "The Loquacious Spell Book," and it introduces the "Big Cheese", "Thumb Wrestler", and "The Discard" [[form]]s.

Ashley states on the official website that she is uninterested in blogging and orders Red to write something in her place.<ref>{{cite|quote=アシュリー……ブログ興味ない……。……レッド、書いて。|date=November 28, 2006|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/rodj/blog/november/comment.html|title=おどる メイド イン ワリオ|publisher=www.nintendo.co.jp|language=ja|author=Nintendo|accessdate=December 15, 2024}}</ref> Red then tells of an occurrence where the pair went to practice magic at a riverbed near their mansion, and Ashley paused when she saw a family of monkeys, as it reminded her of her parents in her distant hometown. A few other WarioWare employees give encouraging comments, but Ashley is nevertheless angered.<ref>{{cite|quote=……みんな……キライ。(...I hate everyone.)|author=Ashley|title=おどる メイド イン ワリオ|publisher=www.nintendo.co.jp}}</ref>

Ashley co-stars with Red in a film titled ''Magical Witch Ashley'' in {{a|WWDIY|l}}, where the pair stair at the sky.<ref>{{cite|timestamp=0:52|url=youtu.be/lE-8dwT38bk?feature=shared&t=52|title=''WarioWare: D.I.Y.''

If there are only a few masks, Ashley's expression may appear normal or disappointed.<ref name=mask/> If there are a lot, Ashley smiles.

Ashley, with [[Jimmy T|Jimmy T.]], [[9-Volt]], [[Orbulon]], and [[Mona]], apparently left [[WarioWare, Inc.]] to work for [[Diamond Software]] in this game. Though the reason they switched companies is unknown, various residents of Diamond City consider possibilities in the [[D.I.Y. Forum]]s feature of the game. One reason is that Diamond Software may actually pay them.

{{a|G&WARIO|l}} features Ashley as the host of a [[Ashley (minigame)|self-titled minigame]]. Its opening cutscene shows Ashley reading a book and coming across a picture page depicting monsters. Ashley casts a spell to be materialized inside the book page, but she is inadvertently transported inside another page themed around candies and sweets instead. Red likes this development, but Ashley is furious and Red transforms into a broom so that they can escape the candy world.  

Ashley is the theme of the third ''[[Game & Wario#Miiverse Sketch Masterpiece Collection|Miiverse Sketch Masterpiece Collection]]'' video (commented by Red), a series showcasing pictures of often questionable quality made in the game's Miiverse Sketch mode. Ashley herself is the host of the tenth video, themed after skeleton drawings.

Ashley returns in {{a|WWG|l}} alongside Red and the rest of the series cast. The opening cutscene shows Ashley immediately hanging up on [[Wario]] when he calls her to explain his newest money-making scheme.

She also stars in the minigame [[Pumpkin Panic]], in which the player controls Ashley from an overhead perspective to defend a field of pumpkins from legions of mandrakes.

Ashley appears in {{a|WWGIT|l}} In the game's story mode, she appears in the opening cutscene, brewing a potion alongside Red. She, along with the rest of the WarioWare, Inc. employees, gets sucked in the game world due to [[Wario]]'s actions.

As a playable character, Ashley flies around on her broom with {{button|switch|leftstick}}. Pressing {{button|switch|a}} makes her fire a projectile from her wand in the direction she is facing. The combination of free movement and omnidirectional attacks allows Ashley to complete almost any microgame with ease, and she excels in forcing moving objects to move quickly and efficiently (e.g. [[Gondola Lift]] and [[Sanitation Station]], two of 6 games that are considered a good fit). Although Ashley has no microgames deeming her a bad fit, her constant projectiles are inefficient in removing large volumes of objects and can cause desired targets to move away from her, evidenced in [[Apple Drop]] and [[Egg It On]], the two microgames that deem her a below-average fit. Because of her versatile characteristics, Ashley has 161 microgames that deem her an above-average fit (the most out of any character).

[[File:Screenshot WarioWare Move It Ashley Red.png|left|thumb|Ashley tries to turn the shrunken Red back to his normal size]]

Ashley appears in {{a|WWMI|l}} where she, along with the rest of the ''WarioWare'' cast, join Wario on his vacation to [[Caresaway Island]]. In Ashley's stage, "Caveat Imptor", she is seen on [[Sandboxer Beach]] with Red making a sandcastle that resembles her mansion. She suddenly hears Red calling for help, but cannot find him, as he shrunk himself after eating blueberries from the nearby forest. She notices Red when he climbs onto the sandcastle, pleading for her to make him normal again. Ashley casts multiple spells to revert Red, but to no avail, as her spells instead deform Red in different ways. She then casts a spell that causes red cubed berries to grow in the forest and feeds them to Red. After Red eats all the red cubed berries, he slowly grows back to normal. Red is relieved, but then continues to grow until he reaches a giant size, and panics again. Ashley simply smiles in response.

Ashley is also an [[Assist Trophy]] character in {{a|SSB3DS|l}}, {{a|SSBWU|l}}, and {{a|SSBU|l}}, where her design is based on her look from {{a|G&WARIO}}. When summoned, she conjures a dark cloud of magic on the stage which afflicts opponents with different effects, such as shrinking opponents, slowing them down, rendering them invisible, and causing healing items to inflict damage, and Ashley's eyes glow red for the duration of the spell in {{a|SSBU}}. An Ashley [[List of Mii Fighter Outfits|outfit]] was also added to {{a|SSB4}} as DLC in February 2016. Ashley is also a {{id|spirit|SSBU}} in {{a|SSBU}}.

[[File:Super Mario Maker Ashley.png|thumb|left]]

Ashley is one of the unlockable [[Costume Mario]] outfits in {{a|SMM|l}}, where she and other outfits are usable in the {{a|SMB|l}} style only. When the [[Mystery Mushroom]] is grabbed, Ashley says, "Hocus Pocus!" Ashley rides on her broom when she is climbing or swimming, and the death and stage completion jingles are replaced with the jingles from the Ashley minigame from ''Game & Wario''.

*'''CEO Comment:''' "''Ashley and her companion, Red, are inseparable! She can be a little twisted sometimes, but deep down I think she's just lonely. Well, fortunately for her, I look after my employees! Especially if they use their magic to zero in on some treasure for me. Wahaha!''"
