English version[edit]
WarioWare series[edit]
(Go! Go! Go, go, Mike!)
(Go! Go! Go, go, Mike!)
My name is Mike, c'mon
Let's robo-karaoke!
(Rock the mic! Rock the mic!)
Get up on the stage and
sing a little ditty for me
(Rock the mic! Rock the mic!)
Off-key? No, not me
I'm a karaoke machine!
(Rock the mic!)
I've got two mics on my head
and you sing into me
(Rock the mic! Rock the mic!)
Don't you wanna, don't you wanna,
don't you wanna karaoke?
(Rock the mic! Rock the mic!)
Off-key? No, not me
I'm a karaoke machine!
(Rock the mic!)

WarioWare: Touched![edit]
During the prologue to Mona's stage, Sal Out sings a portion of "Mike's Theme" when she is featured on Ear Candy. In English, she sings "Go! Go! Go, go, Mike!" in the four measures before the first verse starts. In Japanese, she sings the first line of the first verse. In the microgame Catch a Tune, correctly tuning the radio plays the vocals of the first verse.
An instrumental arrangement of "Mike's Theme" is incorporated in the staff credits theme.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
Like "Mona Pizza" and "Ashley's Theme," a 1950's rock and roll arrangement of "Mike's Theme" is featured in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Two versions of the theme appear, with one in Japanese and the other in English. It was arranged by Masafumi Takada, with the English vocals provided by Terry Lauber and James Cowan and the Japanese vocals provided by Jun Fukuda and the Grasshopper Manufacture sound team. These arrangements return in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where they can be played on any Super Smash Bros.-series and WarioWare-series stage. In Dr Crygor's spirit battle, the English version of Mike's Song plays.
