- —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 scientist, though she also desires to become a famous singer[1]. She attends Diamond Academy.
History
WarioWare series
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
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.
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 Smooth Moves website 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.
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
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're turned off).
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
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.
WarioWare: Get It Together!
Penny appears in WarioWare: Get It Together! as a playable character, though she does not appear in the 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, Penny had just finished 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.
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.
Dr. Mario-kun
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.
Rhythm Heaven Megamix
Penny makes a cameo appearance in the Wario... Where? challenge set of Rhythm Heaven Megamix. She and Dr. Crygor appear in the background during the set's version of Template:Wikia, which now features Mike as one of the models of robots being filled with liquid.
Nintendo Badge Arcade
As with most of the series cast, Penny is featured as one of the collectables in the WarioWare set of Nintendo Badge Arcade.
Penny is also featured in a set of badges parodying The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. The set has Penny dressed as the Happy Mask Salesman.
Appearance
Penny is a young girl with red hair and fair skin. Her hairstyle consists of two long braids 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, 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.
As of WarioWare: D.I.Y. and 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.
In WarioWare Gold, 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 red nightgown with a pink heart on it when she goes to sleep.
