Editing Fronk

9-Volt's pet Fronk appears in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', alongside 9-Volt. He creates microgames for the [[Wario Bowl]], much like how he has a set of microgames in ''WarioWare: Twisted!''. His microgames are of the Pop-Up genre, meaning they are shorter than other microgames. No other characters create Pop-Up microgames. All of Fronk's microgames involve himself or other Fronks. Unlike most of the characters who create microgames, Fronk does not have his own stage. Instead, Fronk is a member of both the [[List of WarioWare Gold microgames#Dancing Team|Dancing Team]] and the [[List of WarioWare Gold microgames#Potluck Gang|Potluck Gang]], each a host of one of the stages of the Ultra League. His microgames are mixed into those stages. Additionally, [[Tread Carefully]] appears in [[Wario Deluxe]]'s stage. This game marks Fronk's first speaking role, where he has a deep voice. In the Japanese version of the game, like [[Dribble & Spitz]], he speaks in the {{wp|Kansai dialect}},<ref>[[:File:Fronkansai.jpg]]</ref> a dialect stereotypically associated with fun-loving, boisterous characters.  

Fronk's size varies depending on the cutscene. In the Dancing Team and Potluck Gang stages, he is about the size of [[Mike]]'s head. In [[5-Volt]]'s stage he stands at a little over half of 9-Volt's height. In 9-Volt's stage he is smaller than a book, and in the ending he can stand on 9-Volt's helmet.

Fronk appears in a number of stages, though his main roles are in 9-Volt's stage and the Dancing Team's stage. In the intro to 9-Volt's stage, Fronk is on 9-Volt's desk in math class despite [[Diamond City Elementary]] banning pets. He is concerned about 9-Volt's hatred of math, and manages to convince 9-Volt that he is good at math by asking math questions in terms of damage and health in a role-playing game. Fronk suggests that 9-Volt think of math as an role-playing game, and together they work through math class. 9-Volt's stage has him and Fronk in a retro role-playing game inspired by {{wp|Dragon Quest}}, fighting in the game as an abstract representation of them working through math class. Fronk has a purple hat, indicating he is a wizard in the game, and a tie. When the game [[Speed Up!|speeds up]] or just prior to the Boss Game, his character portrait shows him holding a book. After finishing math class, 9-Volt thanks Fronk for his help and offers to give Fronk his dessert as thanks. Fronk declines, explaining that he is too old for sweets. When 9-Volt responds with disbelief, Fronk clarifies that he turned one the previous month and owes his youthful looks to practicing "8-bit yoga". In the intro to the Dancing Team's stage, he and Mike introduce and explain their microgames to the player. During the stage, Fronk appears on the Touch Screen when one of his microgames is up next. In the intro to the Potluck Gang's stage, Fronk is present but has no lines. During the stage, he plays a card in their card game when one of his microgames is up next.

 

Fronk also appears in the ending of 5-Volt's stage. He stands next to 9-Volt as he comes home from school, looks under the cabinet he drops his [[Nintendo 3DS]] under, and is shocked when 5-Volt picks up the cabinet. In the game's ending, Fronk stands on 9-Volt's helmet as all of Wario's friends ask Wario to pay them. Fronk has no lines in both cutscenes.
