'''Mr. Sparkles''' is a character that first appears in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''. He is a bodybuilder who regularly weightlifts his signature frying pans, and is notable for, besides his build, his enthusiasm and constant smiling.

Mr. Sparkles first appears on a television program which catches [[5-Volt]]'s attention. He advertises a set of frying pans, but advises customers not to buy them until they get into shape, as the pans are allegedly heavy. Out of boredom, 5-Volt decides to partake in the bodybuilding exercise herself, helping her retrieve [[9-Volt]]'s dropped [[Nintendo 3DS]] later on.

Mr. Sparkles appears as a deception in the [[Gamer|Sneaky Gamer]] mode of the game, lifting 9-Volt's television rack in place of 5-Volt to reveal himself, and may also appear on TV when it is on.

In ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'', Mr. Sparkles, now dressed in a toga, appears as the host of [[Megagame Muscles]], singing the [[Megagame Muscles (song)|song]] that plays during the mode.<ref name=Voice>Kyle Hebert.

==Trivia==
*Mr. Sparkles' rank A card states he frequents the same gym as a "wrestler who gets interviewed all the time," presumably a nod to the ''[[rhythmheaven:Rhythm Heaven (series)|Rhythm Heaven]]'' series' [[rhythmheaven:Ringside|Ringside]] game and its [[rhythmheaven:Wrestler|protagonist]].
*His Japanese and Italian names greatly imply that Mr. Sparkles is in truth a con artist and lies about the products he advertises.
