'''Young Cricket''' is a major character in the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series, first appearing in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. He is a martial artist and a [[WarioWare, Inc.]] employee who is obsessed with meat dumplings, and is the devoted apprentice of [[Master Mantis]]. His name may be a play on the phrase "patience, young grasshopper", originating from the 1972 television series ''{{wp|Kung Fu|id=1972 TV series}}''.

He is a martial artist and a [[WarioWare, Inc.]] employee who is obsessed with meat dumplings, and is the devoted apprentice of [[Master Mantis]]. When he was first introduced, he appeared to be a rather serious character, shown training in difficult conditions, but it is later shown that he fits in with the rest of [[Wario]]'s employees. His name may be a play on the phrase "patience, young grasshopper", originating from the 1972 television series ''{{wp|Kung Fu (1972 TV series)|Kung Fu}}''.

At the end of the game, Cricket is among the group who demands [[Wario]] to pay them for the [[microgame]]s they designed for the [[Wario Bowl]]. After Wario trips and lets his money briefcase fall, Cricket uses his newly learned technique, the "Precious Prancing Pounce", to stop Wario from escaping further. All of Wario's friends then decide to split the remaining money equally between them as Cricket holds off Wario from interfering. The player is then rewarded the 10000 [[coin]]s they were given at the beginning of the game to buy their admission into the Wario Bowl.

Young Cricket appears in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' in a Two-Player Endless Game called {{iw|RhythmHeaven|Kung Fu Ball}}, albeit younger, and without the white tips in his hair. Here, he is seen punching and kicking a ball back and forth paired with [[Cicada]] (who was unnamed at the time). Though the two are unidentified in the game itself, a promotional video for ''WarioWare Gold'' establishes that the male character is Young Cricket.<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5V7aTL1zw8|title=''WarioWare Gold'' - Young Cricket and Master Mantis Character Trailer (Nintendo 3DS)|publisher=YouTube|language=en-gb|author=Nintendo UK|date=January 10, 2019|accessdate=June 25, 2024}}</ref>

===Personality===
===Personality===
Young Cricket is heavily devoted to martial arts, training in difficult environments. He is also shown to be a big fan of meat dumplings throughout his appearances in the ''WarioWare'' franchise, like his ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' stage and the Kung Fu minigame in ''Game & Wario''. Also, the Meat Dumpling [[Prezzy]] in ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'' is one of his most favorite, and his spirit in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' has a dumpling Item Tidal Wave, referencing his favorite food. In ''WarioWare Gold'', his serious personality remains, but for comedic effect, as he even goes as far as to "train" at the Diamond City Amusement Park, and also appears to have a tendency to overexaggerate. At least in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', he is shown being a little naïve; despite this, he is shown to fit in with the rest of his coworkers. He is also shown to be friendly and has joined his friends in activities like dancing at Club Sugar at the end of ''Game & Wario'' and Club Joe in ''WarioWare Gold'' and playing ball with Kat and Ana in "Pool Party Panic" in ''WarioWare: Move It!''
