In her blog entry, Penny posts a photo of her going to the beach with Dr. Crygor and states she loves her grandfather dearly despite his reputation as a "creep" and a "weirdo". In the comments, Penny responds to a comment left by [[Ashley & Red|Ashley]] explaining her bodysuit was created by her grandfather and can adjust itself to any temperature. | ||

During the tutorial, she is paired up with Wario who serves as her student as well as the player.

With [[Wario]] asking for her assistance, Penny appears as the final host of the Twist League in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' | With [[Wario]] asking for her assistance, Penny appears as the final host of the Twist League in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''. In her story, she develops a potion she calls the [[Tonally Transformative Elixir]], which she hopes will give her the voice she needs to become a "mega pop star". She uses Dr. Crygor as a test subject, but all that occurs is a slight increase in pitch in his voice and a major stomachache. She then makes an elixir to combat the stomachache, which succeeds, but it is implied the effects of the Tonally Transformative Elixir will not wear off any time soon. Later, during the Dancing Team set of the Ultra League, she arrives with [[Mona]], [[Jimmy T]], [[Mike]], [[Fronk]], [[Young Cricket & Master Mantis|Young Cricket, Master Mantis]], [[Kat & Ana|Kat, Ana]], and Dr. Crygor to assist [[Joe]] in filling up his new nightclub, [[Club Joe]]. After Dr. Crygor and Master Mantis, albeit unintentionally, drive off almost everyone in the club with their dance moves, Penny decides that the thing that draws people in is music, and proceeds to sing very angelically, which almost instantly fills the nightclub up. She later joins in the party, continuing to sing. At the very end, she, along with all of Wario's friends, split the money Wario gained from the Wario Bowl tournament, much to Wario's dismay. | ||

Penny appears in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', though she does not appear in Story mode until after defeating the [[Wario Bug]]. After obtaining the Golden Beehive, Golden Toilet Paper Roll, and the Golden Holey Mug, Wario and his crew find a note from the [[Pyoro|brown monster]] daring them to combine the three items.

Meanwhile, back in [[Diamond City]], Penny had just finished | Meanwhile, back in [[Diamond City]], Penny had just finished the [[Jet Tank One]] in her [[Penny's Lab|lab]] and gives it a test run when she receives the call from Crygor. She quickly flies to [[WarioWare, Inc.]] using the water blaster and enters the game. Inside the game, she boards a pink helicopter and flies to Wario's crew. She soon combines the three items into a [[Golden Watering Can]]. After she fills the Golden Watering Can with water, it floats towards a nearby toilet and waters it, causing a massive beanstalk to grow from the toilet hole. Penny suggests climbing it, believing that there must be something at the top. | ||
As a playable character, Penny uses her Jet Tank One. Tilting {{button|switch|leftstick}} in a direction makes Penny spray water toward that direction, with the recoil of the water blaster pushing her the opposite direction. Pressing {{button|switch|a}} allows her to hover in midair, which negates the recoil of the water blaster, and pressing {{button|switch|a}} again cancels the hover, allowing her to move again. The ability to fire projectiles quickly (at a rate even surpassing those of traditional projectile-based characters) allows her to easily clear microgames where many objects must be cleared out in a small amount of time (e.g. [[Shadow Sports]], [[Witch! Which?]]). Her water is also effective in pushing or spinning objects (e.g. [[Gondola Lift]], [[Weird Windmill]]). Penny can also uniquely affect microgames that involve water, fire, and heat (e.g. [[Sanitation Station]], [[Hot Hoops]], [[Foggy Glasses]]). However, there are some disadvantages: because the water projectiles have active hitboxes, inadvertent use of her ability may cause her to lose the microgame with the water possibly contacting undesired objects (e.g. [[Rock Candy (microgame)|Rock Candy]], [[Fishy Felines]]), which may even render the microgame [[Unwinnable state|impossible to win]] ([[Balance the Scales]] and [[Pop Goes the Party]]). Penny herself is also comparably slower than flying characters, and is insufficient in quickly applying constant pressure to objects (e.g. [[Blow Your Horn]]). Due to her inverted movement, games that require her to move to a precise location are also a bad fit (e.g. [[Take a Seat]]), as she is more difficult to control. Overall, Penny has microgames evenly distributed to each suitability level (18 bad, 50 below-average, 53 average, 51 above-average, and 40 good). | As a playable character, Penny uses her Jet Tank One.
