Universal Marionette is one of Mona's microgames found in Cheerleading to Victory in WarioWare: Smooth Moves and one of Wario's microgames found in the Intro Games level of the Twist League in WarioWare Gold. The background in both versions is a reference to Leonardo da Vinci's drawing "Vitruvian Man."
