The credits aliens are recurring minor characters in the WarioWare series. They are typically portrayed as a larger alien and a smaller alien waving, and represent the true staff rolls unlocked upon game completion.
The credits aliens are provided as menu options to view the true staff roll in most WarioWare games, usually inserted alongside toys or minigames. Matching the characters, some WarioWare series credits rolls are space-themed. They do not appear in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, or WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!, though Smooth Moves features similar silhouetted human characters to represent credits, and Mega Party Game$! uses the alien hares to represent credits. WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase does not have in-game credits, therefore the aliens do not appear.
History[edit]
WarioWare series[edit]
WarioWare: Snapped![edit]
When selecting the credits in WarioWare: Snapped!, the aliens will replace the vague humanoid figures on the safety disclaimer.
WarioWare: D.I.Y.[edit]
In the staff roll of WarioWare: D.I.Y., the large alien is shown presenting the roles of each developer (represented on the bottom screen as space ships that can be destroyed) to three small aliens, who dance to the music.
Game & Wario[edit]
The icon for the Illustrated Schnozzipedia is an alien with a head in the shape of a nose.
WarioWare: Move It![edit]
When selecting the staff credits, the aliens are shown with flowers on their heads.
Rhythm Heaven series[edit]
Being closely related to the WarioWare series, the Rhythm Heaven series uses the credits aliens in a similar capacity. However, the buttons do not feature the smaller alien.
