History[edit]
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$![edit]
In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, Joe owns the Gelateria as Gelato Joe and works alongside Mona. In Mona's story, he is the first to arrive at the Gelateria. He brings out the gelato sculpture and opens the restaurant. When Mona barely reaches the Gelateria in time, Joe congratulates her with some confetti.
WarioWare: Twisted![edit]
In WarioWare: Twisted!, he goes by Pizza Joe and now runs Mona Pizza. When Mona is attacked by The Dinosaurs while delivering pizza, Joe flies in on a plane and places Mona's elephant, pig, and monkey onto her head. In the Telephone souvenir, he reveals that he is the only working dog in his family except for a cousin who works with the blind. In addition, he is the manager at Mona Pizza because he is trusted not to eat the pizzas.
