When an item is purchased, the shop owner will follow Wario to the boss room. There, they will use the purchased item against the boss. For some items, the shop owner will even transform into various creatures to inflict damage.  


The shop owner also appears in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. Unlike in the game, they lack a nose. They use the Large Lips move to help Wario defeat [[Aerodent]].

*When an item is used against the final boss [[Golden Diva]], instead of the shop owner leaving the room after the item has been used, they stay and transform into the black cat, which then confronts the Golden Diva. The black cat still appears if Wario does not purchase an item, but comes in later after Wario.
