Quotes from
"Reality (Dr. Crygor) - Stage" (WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!)

"Penny's Song",[2] also known as "Penny's Theme",[3] is a song composed by Daichi Ishihara for WarioWare: Get It Together!, where it plays in Penny's stage, "Penny's Mix". It also plays in Penny's gallery after at least one of her pieces of artwork has been unlocked, making her the only character whose gallery has unique music.

This song quotes the eight-note chromatic melody of "Reality (Dr. Crygor) - Stage" from WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! at the beginning. Similarly to "Tomorrow Hill" from WarioWare: Smooth Moves, if the player fails at a microgame, the instrumentation briefly becomes distorted and the lyrics are altered. Due to this, the length of the timer in Penny's Mix depends on where the song is before the success or failure of a microgame, and the timer counts down to the beat of the music; unlike other stages, the timer stays in beat with the song during the stage instead of ending more quickly after a microgame is won or lost. In "Penny's Mix", the song loops every 15 rounds, and portions of the song are skipped after round 75 due to there being no further "Speed Up!"s beyond that point.

WarioWare: Get It Together! features two additional instrumental arrangements of "Penny's Song":

  • The first arrangement is a jingle that plays during the prologue cutscene to Penny's stage when she gets a phone call from Dr. Crygor.
  • The second arrangement plays during Penny's portion of the staff credits.

The English version is performed by Cristina Lucía Jáuregui,[4] while the Japanese version is performed by Hina Ito. On November 15, 2021, a Spanish version of "Penny's Song" was released on Nintendo's YouTube channel alongside the English version. This is the second vocal song in the WarioWare series to have a version in a language other than English or Japanese, after "18 x 13" from WarioWare Gold. However, the Spanish version of the song is not featured in-game, as the Spanish translation of the game uses the English version of the song instead.

Lyrics[edit]

English[edit]

The lyrics are taken from the official video's closed captions. Lyrics in red are not heard when the player reaches 75 or more points in Penny's Mix.

She's got her hair tied up in braids,
and glasses perched up on her face.
She is a small girl, takin' on a big world,
with inventions she made!
And though her plans may go awry,
she's gonna get back up and try.
Gonna be a shining star, she's going far, Penny!

She fills her days with pop songs and experiments,
poring over sheet music and blueprints.
Penny longs to become the best singer-scientist
in the whole universe.

Trial and error, fused with ingenuity,
Penny's a bundle of joyous positivity.
Tinker, thinker, dreamer to the core.
Singer, mechanic, she's all that and more.
Here comes the spotlight,
it's what you've been reaching for!

Not every song she sings will be in tune.
But even when she aims for the high note,
she will stand up proud, and sing out loud for you,
'cause it's true...
That's Penny through-and-through.

Her workshop is where she goes to
fix up contraptions, old and new.
This one's her favorite, here, you can try it!
She made it for you!
Whenever something falls apart,
it's nothing Penny can't jump-start.
Everything she fixes is a gift straight from the heart.

And every plan that goes all wrong,
becomes a line in her life's song.
She will try harder. She will sing louder.
Now let's all sing along!
All our mistakes from yesterday,
become new smiles today!

She's got her hair tied up in braids,
and glasses perched up on her face.
She is a small girl, takin' on a big world,
with inventions she made!
And though her plans may go awry,
she's gonna get back up and try.
Gonna be a shining star, she's going far, Penny!

She's got her hair tied up in braids,
and glasses perched up on her face.
She is a small girl, takin' on a big world,
with missteps on the way!
And though her plans may go awry,
she's gonna get back up and try.
Gonna be a shining star, she's going far, Penny?!

She fills her days with pop songs and experiments,
poring over sheet music and blueprints...
Penny longs to become the best singer-scientist
but oh, what a mess...

Trial and error, fused with ingenuity,
Penny's a bundle of joyous positivity.
Tinker, thinker, dreamer to the core.
Pick yourself up when you fall on the floor.
Here comes the spotlight,
it's what you've been reaching for!

Not every song she sings will be in tune.
But even when she lands on a flat note,
she will stand up proud, and sing out loud for you,
'cause it's true...
Even good songs can fall through.

Her workshop is where she goes to
fix up contraptions, old and new.
This one's her favorite, here, you can try it!
It's missing a screw!
Whenever something falls apart,
it's nothing Penny can't jump-start.
Everything she fixes is a gift straight from the heart...

And every plan that goes all wrong,
becomes a line in her life's song.
She will try harder. She will sing louder.
Now let's all sing along!
All our mistakes from yesterday,
may hurt, but it's okay!

She's got her hair tied up in braids,
and glasses perched up on her face.
She is a small girl, takin' on a big world,
with missteps on the way!
And though her plans may go awry,
she's gonna get back up and try.
Gonna be a shining star, she's going far, Penny?!

Spanish lyrics Translation

Es una chica intelectual
con un talento sin igual
Deslumbra al mundo con un par de lentes
y sus invenciones
Cuando las cosas salen mal
solo lo vuelve a intentar
No hay quien detenga a la única y estelar ¡Penny!

Vive de experimentos y canciones pop
Sencillos y ensayos son su perdición
Penny sueña con ser la mejor
y prepara su voz para la audición

Prueba y error con creatividad,
nunca pierde una oportunidad
(Racional, musical, soñadora hasta el final)
(Cantante, mecánica, es eso y más)
Llegó tu momento, ¡demuestra tu talento!

No todas sus canciones suenan bien
Pero aunque falle lucha hasta el final
Seguirá cantando fuerte para ti
Es así... Penny no se rendirá

En su taller la encontrarás
creando cosas mágicas
Mira este invento, tan especial,
¡lo hizo para ti!
Con decisión y precisión,
aspira a la perfección
Todo lo que hace viene de su corazón

Si algo no va de acuerdo al plan,
lo toma como práctica
Sigue intentando hasta mejorarlo
Y esta es su lección:
Que los errores del ayer son las sonrisas del saber

Es una chica intelectual
con un talento sin igual
Deslumbra al mundo con un par de lentes
y sus invenciones
Cuando las cosas salen mal,
solo lo vuelve a intentar
No hay quien detenga a la única y estelar ¡Penny!

She's an intellectual girl
With an unparalleled talent
She dazzles the world with a pair of glasses
And her inventions
When things go wrong
She just tries again
No one can stop the unique and stellar Penny!

She lives on experiments and pop songs
Singles and rehearsals are her downfall
Penny dreams of being the best
And prepares her voice for the audition

Trial and error with creativity,
She never wastes an opportunity
(Rational, musical, dreamer to the end)
(Singer, mechanic, she's that and more)
Your time has come, show your talent!

Not all of her songs sound good
But even if she fails, she fights to the end
She will keep singing out loud for you
That's right, Penny won't give up

You will find her in her workshop
Creating magical things
Look at this very special invention,
She made it for you!
With determination and precision,
She aspires to perfection
Everything that she does comes from her heart

If something doesn't go according to plan
She sees it as practice
She keeps trying until she improves it
And this is her lesson:
That yesterday's mistakes are knowledge's smiles

She is an intellectual girl
With an unparalleled talent
She dazzles the world with a pair of glasses
And her inventions
When things go wrong
She just tries again
No one can stop the unique and stellar Penny!
