He enjoys dancing at nightclubs, particularly Club Sugar. Jimmy currently resides in Diamond City.

In his own story, Jimmy goes once again to Club Sugar. There he dances to disco music and also takes his cell phone out when it rings. When the show is over, Jimmy leaves the club and walks past other people. He uses his cell phone again and listens to another ring tone, this time the barking of a dog.
Jimmy also makes a short appearance in the ending story of the game. In the WarioWare headquarters, Wario represents his employees in that they won't get anything of the money he earned with the game they made and then Wario escapes. Jimmy is shocked, but like the other employees except for Mona, he doesn't chase after Wario.
Jimmy T. is featured in three unlockable mini-games in WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania. A tiny Jimmy appears in a two-player mini-game called VS Chiritorie. Sometimes he wanders over the screen and holds up the vacuum cleaner that touches him and withdraws already sucked in paper wads.

After the end of the show, the Thang family walks through the streets of Diamond City at night. Scratchy, now with a bandage on its head, reappears and flies into Jimmy's wig. Once again, it seems that his family thinks that his fit of rage is a dance.
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
Jimmy is walking down to Club Sugar with an umbrella on a rainy day in WarioWare: Smooth Moves. He sees a cat which is all wet, and Jimmy decides to give the cat the umbrella.

Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Jimmy T. appears as a sticker. He also makes an appearance in the microgame "Taunt" of the WarioWare stage, where he briefly dances and poses with his cell phone.
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.: Minigame Mania, 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, Inc.: Mega Party Game$! does also feature Jimmy's sports microgames, plus a multiplayer game made by him, Survival Fever. Instead of sports, it features Jimmy's favorite activity, dancing.
Jimmy's microgames in WarioWare: Twisted!, involve a particular style of gameplay rather than a specific visual theme, which was also continued for the next games in the series until WarioWare: D.I.Y.. In this game, his set of microgames is called Big Tipper and requires large spins.
In WarioWare: Touched!, the name of Jimmy's set of microgames is Dance Club Rub and involves rubbing with the Stylus.
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.
Jimmy's five microgames in WarioWare: Snapped! require the player's acting skills. He puts photos taken of the player into a comic strip after the end of his stage.
In WarioWare: D.I.Y., Jimmy returns to his original role and hosts a set of new Sports microgames again.
