In ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', Penny enters a competition called the "Invent-Off" at the Diamond Academy and is put against her grandfather to see who is the best inventor. After what appeared to be a mental fight between the two, Penny pulls out her winning invention (a motorcycle) out of thin air which, for some reason, knocks Dr. Crygor down. Penny then takes one of [[Mike]]'s head-mounted microphones and decided to sing a song to the cheering crowd.
In ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'', Penny enters a competition called the "Invent-Off" at the Diamond Academy while wearing a helmet, goggles, and jetpack, and is pitted against her grandfather to see who is the best inventor. After what appears to be a mental fight between the two, Penny pulls out her winning invention (a motorcycle) out of thin air, which knocks Dr. Crygor down. Penny then transforms back into her regular outfit, takes one of [[Mike]]'s head-mounted microphones, and sings a song to the cheering crowd.


Later, Penny sends her motorcycle to [[Wario]]. Wario is then sucked inside the motorcycle while using it and is turned into [[Tiny Wario]].

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 and Master Mantis]], [[Kat and 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, no doubt 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.

[[File:WWGIT Jet Tank One.jpg|thumb|300px|Penny unveiling the [[Jet Tank One]].]]
Penny appears in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'' as a playable character, 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. When Dr. Crygor cannot think of how to do so, he decides to call Penny for help.

When Dr. Crygor cannot think of how to do so, he decides to call Penny for help.
 
Meanwhile, back in [[Diamond City]], Penny had just finished inventing 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 part of her role in the story, Penny has her own titular mode, [[List of WarioWare: Get It Together! microgames#Penny's Mix|Penny's Mix]]. During this mode, she can be heard singing her own theme song, [[Penny's Song]].

[[File:Dr. Crygor, Penny and Mike's Cutscene in WWMI.png|left|thumb|Penny, Dr. Crygor and Mike wondering what caused inspiration for one particular cave drawing]]
Penny appears in ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'' where she, along with the rest of the ''WarioWare'' cast, join Wario on his vacation to [[Caresaway Island]]. Penny, Dr. Crygor and Mike all share a stage together titled "A Curious Case of Cave Art", where the three of them explore the [[Underarm Jungle]]. They find cave drawings, in which Penny points out that her brochure states that they were drawn by real cavemen. Intrigued by one of the drawings, three group try to comprehend what could have inspired the creation of the drawing. Penny believes that the drawing was inspired by a cat. Dr. Crygor suddenly has an idea and presents the [[Time Obliterator 5.0]], a time travel device. Using the device, the group travel to the prehistoric times, and Penny praises Dr. Crygor for his successful invention. The three then see a bored caveman drawing the specific cave drawing in action, who is looking for inspiration. Upon seeing the group, the caveman gains creative inspiration and orders them to stand and pose while he draws them. After the stage is cleared, the trio is exhausted from doing all of their posing, but watch in awe seeing the caveman drawing new cave art.


At the top of the beanstalk, Wario and the crew finally confront the monster. In the fight, Penny uses her Jet Tank One to defeat one of the monster's eyes carrying a measuring cup.
[[File:WWMI Remix 1 cutscene experiment.jpg|thumb|Penny, Ashley and Dr. Crygor prepare to add in their ingredients]]
Penny returns in Remix 1, "Not-So-Relaxing Rapids", where she, along with Dr. Crygor and Ashley, accidentally cause their beach house to detach into the nearby rapids after adding in volatile ingredients to their concoctions. Everyone is flung out of the beach house, but they all land safely on top of a tour bus. After the stage is cleared, everyone exits the tour bus and find a statue of King Caresaway the First. The group looks in astonishment, but quickly changes to worry when their detached beach house falls and crushes the statue.


As a playable character, Penny fires her Jet Tank One in the direction {{button|ns|leftstick}} is tilted, with the recoil propelling her in the opposite direction. She can also hover in place by pressing the action button, and turn off the function by pressing it again.
Penny, along with the rest of the ''WarioWare'' cast appear in the final stage, "Lava at First Sight", where they all dance to defeat [[Volcano Wario]]. After Wario is launched from the volcano, the cast enjoys their vacation, while Wario is stuck inside a temple.

Penny, WarioWare: Smooth Moves

Penny Crygor, most commonly just known as Penny, is Dr. Crygor's granddaughter. Her first appearance is in WarioWare: Smooth Moves. She admires her grandfather and wants to grow up to be a great chemist and scientist, though she also desires to become a famous singer.[2] She attends Diamond Academy.

History[edit]

WarioWare series[edit]

WarioWare: Smooth Moves[edit]

Penny's prologue cutscene from WarioWare: Smooth Moves
Penny competing against Dr. Crygor

In WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Penny enters a competition called the "Invent-Off" at the Diamond Academy while wearing a helmet, goggles, and jetpack, and is pitted against her grandfather to see who is the best inventor. After what appears to be a mental fight between the two, Penny pulls out her winning invention (a motorcycle) out of thin air, which knocks Dr. Crygor down. Penny then transforms back into her regular outfit, takes one of Mike's head-mounted microphones, and sings a song to the cheering crowd.

Later, Penny sends her motorcycle to Wario. Wario is then sucked inside the motorcycle while using it and is turned into Tiny Wario.

The Japanese website for WarioWare: Smooth Moves features a blog section for the WarioWare developers. 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 explaining her bodysuit was created by her grandfather and can adjust itself to any temperature.

WarioWare: D.I.Y.[edit]

Penny explaining animation to Wario

In WarioWare: D.I.Y., Penny helps the player and Wario create microgames. As such, she leads the game's tutorials. During the tutorial, she is paired up with Wario who serves as her student as well as the player. She frequently makes sarcastic quips toward Wario's intelligence and patience, though she is quick to apologize when Wario gets offended.

Game & Wario[edit]

The screen after completing the first challenge set in the Bowling minigame of Game & Wario.

In Game & Wario, Penny appears as the host of the multiplayer minigame Fruit, where she gives tips to the "agent" player and reacts to set pieces (such as reactivating the lights when they are turned off). Additionally, like most of the other WarioWare developers, Penny is in the Bowling minigame depicted as a pin.

As with the other WarioWare characters, Penny makes an appearance in Miiverse Sketch Masterpiece Collection, a series of videos showcasing pictures of often questionable quality made in the game's Miiverse Sketch mode. Penny's video is themed after drawings of Prince Shōtoku, an important ruler in Japanese history.

WarioWare Gold[edit]

With Wario asking for her assistance, Penny appears as the final host of the Twist League in WarioWare Gold, hosting the That's Life microgames. 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 stomach ache. She then makes an elixir to combat the stomach ache, 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, Kat, Ana, and Dr. Crygor to assist Joe in filling up his nightclub, Club Joe, with attendants. After Dr. Crygor and Master Mantis 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.

WarioWare: Get It Together![edit]

Jet Tank One
Penny unveiling the Jet Tank One.

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 brown monster daring them to combine the three items. When Dr. Crygor cannot think of how to do so, he decides to call Penny for help.

Meanwhile, back in Diamond City, Penny had just finished inventing the Jet Tank One in her 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 Left Stick in a direction makes Penny spray water toward that direction, with the recoil of the water blaster pushing her the opposite direction. Pressing A Button allows her to hover in midair, which negates the recoil of the water blaster, and pressing A Button 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, Fishy Felines), which may even render the microgame 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 part of her role in the story, Penny has her own titular mode, Penny's Mix. During this mode, she can be heard singing her own theme song, Penny's Song.

WarioWare: Move It![edit]

Dr. Crygor, Penny and Mike's cutscene in WarioWare: Move It!
Penny, Dr. Crygor and Mike wondering what caused inspiration for one particular cave drawing

Penny appears in WarioWare: Move It! where she, along with the rest of the WarioWare cast, join Wario on his vacation to Caresaway Island. Penny, Dr. Crygor and Mike all share a stage together titled "A Curious Case of Cave Art", where the three of them explore the Underarm Jungle. They find cave drawings, in which Penny points out that her brochure states that they were drawn by real cavemen. Intrigued by one of the drawings, three group try to comprehend what could have inspired the creation of the drawing. Penny believes that the drawing was inspired by a cat. Dr. Crygor suddenly has an idea and presents the Time Obliterator 5.0, a time travel device. Using the device, the group travel to the prehistoric times, and Penny praises Dr. Crygor for his successful invention. The three then see a bored caveman drawing the specific cave drawing in action, who is looking for inspiration. Upon seeing the group, the caveman gains creative inspiration and orders them to stand and pose while he draws them. After the stage is cleared, the trio is exhausted from doing all of their posing, but watch in awe seeing the caveman drawing new cave art.

Penny, Ashley and Dr. Crygor prepare to add in their ingredients

Penny returns in Remix 1, "Not-So-Relaxing Rapids", where she, along with Dr. Crygor and Ashley, accidentally cause their beach house to detach into the nearby rapids after adding in volatile ingredients to their concoctions. Everyone is flung out of the beach house, but they all land safely on top of a tour bus. After the stage is cleared, everyone exits the tour bus and find a statue of King Caresaway the First. The group looks in astonishment, but quickly changes to worry when their detached beach house falls and crushes the statue.

Penny, along with the rest of the WarioWare cast appear in the final stage, "Lava at First Sight", where they all dance to defeat Volcano Wario. After Wario is launched from the volcano, the cast enjoys their vacation, while Wario is stuck inside a temple.

Penny makes a cameo in the advertising half of Episode 50 of the manga Dr. Mario-kun, in the page dedicated to WarioWare: Smooth Moves. In the strip, Penny walks into Wario's office and asks him how the playtest for the "Dr. Mario RPG" went, only to be surprised by Wario's tantrum as he destroys the entire office due to his frustration with the game's buggy state.

Other appearances[edit]

Like several other cast members of the WarioWare series, Penny is one of the collectables in the WarioWare set of Nintendo Badge Arcade. Additionally, she is featured in a set of badges parodying The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, exclusively in the Japanese version, and the set has Penny dressed as the Happy Mask Salesman.

Appearance[edit]

Penny is a young girl with red-orange hair and fair skin. Her hairstyle consists of twin braids/pigtails with two long locks on the top with a bang swept to the right and a heart hairclip at the left, rosy cheeks, and she wears round glasses.

In WarioWare: Smooth Moves and WarioWare: D.I.Y., she wears a fully zipped pink cloak-like lab coat with a collar and a red trim at the bottom with slightly puffy sleeves, black baggy pants, and pink boots. She also has brown eyes.

In Game & Wario, she wears a black bodysuit with a pink heart at the chest, a white lab coat with two large heart-shaped pockets and rolled up sleeves revealing pink cuffs, alongside pink gloves and retains her pink boots.

From WarioWare Gold onwards, her appearance remains the same with a few differences. Her eyes are now blue, her bang is thicker, the heart-shaped pockets on her lab coat are pink, her heart hair clip is bigger, she does not retain her gloves, and the pink color of her outfit is lighter. In a fantasy, she wears a pink short-sleeved dress with a long magenta bowtie with a matching pair of magenta headsets with pink stars and pink flats. As seen in a commercial, she wears a magenta nightgown with a pink heart on it along with her hair down when she goes to sleep.

In WarioWare: Move It!, she wears a short-sleeve version of her lab coat without the pink cuffs and a dress version of her black suit, and retains her pink boots.

Quotes[edit]
