"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!

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?!
