Sal Out is a minor recurring character in the WarioWare series. She is a singer popular in Diamond City. Beyond that, not much else is known about her. Her name is a play on the term "sellout," which is a pejorative term for an artist who sacrifices integrity in order to appeal to a wider audience.

History

WarioWare series

WarioWare: Twisted!

Sal Out singing Mona Pizza

During her first appearance, Sal Out sings the song for the Mona Pizza commercial, accompanied by Joe's comments. The Dinosaurs from the rival company Pizza Dinosaur sing the latter portion of the song. Sal Out also briefly appears in Mona's story on a large screen near a street that Mona drives on. Additionally, the customers that wait for Mona to deliver the pizzas watch Sal Out on their television.

Sal Out is also seen between the microgames in Mona's stage, and cheers each time a microgame is won; if a microgame is lost, she falls on her face and the song distorts a little. The whole song plays on loop during the stage, with the only interruptions coming during the boss stage "Skyway Highway" and the proximate Souvenir scene.

The Mona Pizza commercial song can be obtained as a souvenir, with Mona's face printed on the record's cover.

WarioWare: Touched!

Sal Out singing Mike's Theme

In WarioWare: Touched!, Sal Out reaches #5 on Diamond City's music charts, according to the television show Ear Candy. The intro of Mike's Song can be heard during the show in Mona's story, implying that Sal Out sang it; the whole song is played as the background music in the first segment of Mike's story.

Like in the previous game, a Mona Pizza souvenir with the Mona Pizza song can be unlocked by playing the game with WarioWare: Twisted! in the Game Boy Advance slot of the Nintendo DS. A video was added to the song, where Sal Out makes occasional appearances.

Game & Wario

Sal Out makes a brief appearance in the opening cinematic of Game & Wario along with her three background singers, the Chorus Kids from the Rhythm Heaven series. She can also be seen in Mona's apartment during the beginning of Stage 1 and 3 in Shutter.

Rhythm Heaven Megamix
