Biography
Everyday Life of Jimmy
Jimmy T. could be seen in the intro of WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, where he was called by Wario to join his "company" WarioWare, Inc. and to produce microgames for his upcoming game. Like Wario's other friends in Diamond City, Jimmy aggreed.
In his own story, Jimmy went once again to Club Sugar. There he danced to disco music and also took his cell phone out when it rang. When the show was over, Jimmy left the club and walked past other people. He used his cell phone again and listened to another ring tone, this time the barking of a dog.
Jimmy also made a short appearance in the ending story of the game, where Wario represented his employees in the WarioWare headquarters that they wouldn't get anything of the money he earned with the game he and his friends made and then he escaped. Jimmy was shocked, but like the other employees except for Mona, he didn't chase after Wario.
Groovy Love Thang
In WarioWare, Inc. Mega Party Game$, it was revealed that he had a girlfriend who dumped him because she thought that he enjoyed dancing more than spending time with her. In Club Sugar, she asked him if he liked her or dancing more. But shortly after that, Jimmy started to dance and so the woman said goodbye. The dancer burst into tears and said that the rhythm made him do it.
Family Likeness
Jimmy's parents, Papa T. and Mama T., were introduced in WarioWare: Twisted!. They danced along with their son at Club Sugar, but the club owner Sugar was annoyed by it; he just wanted the Thangs to eat their dinner and go home.
Buggy Dancing
In WarioWare: Touched!, a speaker announced "Jimmy's Showtime" at Club Sugar. Jimmy appeared on the dance floor agaín and received the applause of the public. First, he summoned his parents, then his younger siblings Jamie T. and James T.. The family started choreographed dancing, though an orange bug called Scratchy the 'Fro Bug flew through Club Sugar and aimed for Jimmy's wig. It flew into the wig and disturbed Jimmy, now his afro "itched like mad". However, it seemed that the other Thangs thought that Jimmy's hectic moves were just another dance. The player had to help him by scratching the beetle with the Stylus, making it escape. After that, Jimmy continued dancing with his family and all of them took their cell phones out.
After the end of the show, the Thang family walked through the streets of Diamond City at night. Scratchy, now with a bandage on its head, reappeared and flew into Jimmy's wig. Once again, it seemed that his family thought that his fit of rage was a dance.
Feline Fever
Jimmy was walking down to Club Sugar with an umbrella on a rainy day in WarioWare: Smooth Moves. He saw a cat which was all wet, and Jimmy decided to give the cat the umbrella. Later, the cat, along with a lot other cats, the Legendary Cat Dancers, followed Jimmy and imitated his dancing moves. Jimmy and the cats danced awhile and when they finally came to Club Sugar, Jimmy and the cats danced some more on the dance floor.
When they were done dancing, the cats walked out, each one saying "meow". Suddenly, the cat seen first gave the umbrella back to Jimmy.
At end of the story of Jimmy P., which was extremely similar to Jimmy T.'s story, Jimmy T. patted on Jimmy P.'s shoulder. The two dancers faced each other. It isn't known what happened next.

Microgames
Jimmy T. comes with an own set of microgames in all games of the WarioWare series, except for WarioWare: Smooth Moves.
For WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, Jimmy created microgames of the Sports genre. As its name implies, all games involve some kind of sports. He also provides two remixes, meaning that he provides mixes of the microgames of other characters.

WarioWare: Smooth Moves is the only game that doesn't feature microgames of him. Instead of that, he provides a mix of microgames of other characters again, like Jimmy P. also does.
