In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'', it is revealed that he had a girlfriend, who dumped him because she thought that he enjoyed dancing more than spending time with her.

While the family are still on the dance floor, [[Sugar (character)|Sugar]], the club owner, tells the Thangs that the dinner they ordered is ready. However, instead of eating, Jimmy's parents take pictures of him holding up utensils using their cellphones.

In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', a speaker announces "Jimmy's Showtime" at Club Sugar. Jimmy appears on the dance floor as usual and receives the applause of the public. He then summons his parents and his younger siblings [[Jimmy's Folks|Jamie and James T.]] onto the dance floor. The family starts to dance, but [[Scratchy the 'Fro Bug]] flies through Club Sugar and lands right into Jimmy's wig. This causes Jimmy's afro to itch and he starts to move erratically. However, the other Thangs think that Jimmy's moves are just another dance. After scratching the bug out of his wig, Jimmy continues dancing with his family. During gameplay, they all look at Jimmy's cell phone. They laugh when the player clears a microgame and grimace when the player fails. | |||
After the show ends, Jimmy's Folks walk through the streets of Diamond City. Scratchy, now with a bandage on its head, reappears and flies into Jimmy's wig, causing him to move hectically again.

In ''WarioWare: Touched!'', the name of Jimmy's set of microgames is [[Dance Club Rub]] and involves rubbing with the Stylus. | |||
