Retrieved April 3, 2018.</ref> They come from a family of ninjas, named the Iga Clan, which greatly inspires them to practice ninjutsu since childhood and become ninjas themselves when they grow up. Kat & Ana's father left his parents' house when he was a kindergartner to seclude himself in the mountains and develop his self-discipline. Kat & Ana planned to do the same, but abandoned the idea after playing a game of living by themselves for a while. However, Kat still expresses her resolve to go through this training. | ||

When Kat and Paw arrive at the Castle, they encounter Boneheads at the entrance, who then jumps to the roof. Kat and Paw make it through the many floors of the Castle and eventually reach the roof. Kat battles him, but fails to defeat him, so Paw joins the fight and morphs into a giant blade. With the help of Paw, Kat finally defeats Boneheads after some effective slices and causes him to fall apart. The prince/princess is saved from Boneheads' influence and Kat rescues Ana by cutting her rope. Afterwards, Kat, Ana, and the prince/princess stand in front of the castle while Paw chases Don. The two then walk to the [[Gelateria]] where they sit on the store's awning. In the stage's intermission, Kat unsheathes a {{wp|Dango|hanami dango}}, rose, or lollipop. | When Kat and Paw arrive at the Castle, they encounter Boneheads at the entrance, who then jumps to the roof.

In | In their own story, the twins arrive at Diamond City Castle to find their teacher for a ninja test in hopes of getting their ninja learners permits. They encounter [[Ms. Munchly]] who they believe to be their teacher, who tells them that their test is to eat everything she dishes out to them, much to the twin's excitement. After eating numerous amounts of sushi, it is revealed that they completed the Gourmet Master test; their ninja test was right next door and their real teacher, [[Ninja Steve]], was in the bathroom during their feast. Though full from eating, Kat & Ana join Steve to complete their real test. | ||

After beating Anything Goes, Kat & Ana go back to the real world alongside most of the other WarioWare Inc. employees and chase after Wario after it is revealed their predicament was caused by his poor programming. The twins berate Wario, who then remembers that other people were left behind in the game world. The gang immediately returns to rescue them. | After beating Anything Goes, Kat & Ana go back to the real world alongside most of the other WarioWare Inc. employees and chase after Wario after it is revealed their predicament was caused by his poor programming.

Like | Like Dribble & Spitz, Kat is controlled by Player 1 and Ana is controlled by Player 2; with the exception of the Variety Pack, the player will always control Kat in single-player. As playable characters, Kat & Ana constantly jump, and can be moved left and right with {{button|switch|leftstick}}. Pressing {{button|switch|a}} makes them throw a shuriken horizontally; Kat faces and throws shurikens to the right, and Ana faces and throws to the left. With these abilities, Kat & Ana can cover a large area of the screen and clear out many objects with their attacks (e.g. [[Witch! Which?]] and [[Apple Drop]], two of the 6 games that are considered a good fit). However, these advantages are overshadowed by their many disadvantages. Because of their nature of constant movement, the player must time their movements to pass certain microgames without touching undesired objects (e.g. [[Rock Candy (microgame)|Rock Candy]], [[Fishy Felines]]). The inability to control their vertical positions also means that it may be difficult for the player to land accurate hits with the projectiles, such as in [[Matching Masks]], which is especially difficult for Kat herself, requiring the player to target the correct mask with near-perfect precision. Because of these disadvantages, Kat & Ana have 25 microgames that deem them a bad fit (the most out of any character, tied with [[9-Volt]]), but a more balanced amount of microgames that deem them a below-average or average fit (70 and 79 respectively). | ||
Kat & Ana are the only characters in ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'' to use a different pose than their default in the Break Room: they stand straight and face the screen instead of posing off to one side. | Kat & Ana are the only characters in ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'' to use a different pose than their default in the Break Room: they stand straight and face the screen instead of posing off to one side. | ||

Kat & Ana are often depicted of possessing surprising abilities; they have been seen cloning themselves, jumping higher than the average human can, and defeating enemies more than twice their size when working as a team. Many of these powers are classic ninja techniques. Despite this, Kat & Ana are also displayed as quite naïve. While Kat is usually portrayed as being more focused and mature, in ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' she disturbs a nest of bees without thinking things through. Ana is quieter and more cautious than her sister. Kat & Ana are said to love especially animals and flowers, respectively. In ''WarioWare Gold'', they are shown to have big appetites and enjoy eating large amounts of food | Kat & Ana are often depicted of possessing surprising abilities; they have been seen cloning themselves, jumping higher than the average human can, and defeating enemies more than twice their size when working as a team.
