Dr. Crygor

"You see! I AM a genius!"

- Dr. Crygor

Dr. Crygor is a recurring character in the WarioWare series. He is a mad scientist and cyborg who performs wacky and mostly harmless experiments at his private island laboratory in Diamond City. He has a granddaughter, Penny, and two robots, Mike and Doris 1.

Like the other WarioWare characters, Dr. Crygor is designed by Ko Takeuchi. His defining characteristics include his red nose and angular mustache, and his cybernetic equipment, which includes his cryogenic suit. He has a metal plate on his head, a visor with a glowing red eye, metal gloves, and metal boots. It is never explained why Dr. Crygor has these robotic replacements. His name comes from the term "" and the name "Igor," likely in reference to.

In addition to being a scientist, Dr. Crygor is a WarioWare, Inc. employee. As such, he frequently appears as one of the stage or mode hosts in the WarioWare series, with the exceptions of WarioWare: Snapped!, WarioWare: D.I.Y., and WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase.

Background
The diary of Dr. Crygor at the Japanese website for WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! shares some details of his life. The diary revealed the events when he discovered 9-Volt's Fronk, and researched Orbulon's Oinker. When Dr. Crygor went to purchase materials for his research, his jetpack ran out of fuel. He had to pick up a taxi to take him to the port. From the port, he had to swim to the island where his laboratory is located, almost drowning on the way. When he tried to dance flamenco, his leg cramped due to lack of exercise.

Dr. Crygor has done numerous researches, including the heating and cooling of gummies, the results of eating chewing gum and chocolate together, and the growth of hair. He also concocted a drink that makes Wario extremely intelligent; however, after he had defecated, the drink's effects wore off. When Wario came to his laboratory, demanding for a spaceship, Dr. Crygor agreed, and built one all night. However, when he tested the spaceship, the time had warped. Dr. Crygor then deemed his spaceship a time machine.

Dr. Crygor reluctantly attended Wario's round-table discussion, after the latter threatened to destroy his laboratory. In the discussion, Dr. Crygor revealed that his microgames were made from his everyday life.
 * When he desired to go to a beer garden, he came up with Pod Pinch.
 * After he saw a monkey eating a banana, Banana Munch was created.
 * Rough Puff was created when he wanted to eat a blowfish.
 * When he ran out of vegetables, he developed Veg Out. However he ate too much vegetables when making the microgame, so he had to go to the bathroom frequently.

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!
Dr. Crygor can be seen in the intro of WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, where he is called by Wario to join his company WarioWare, Inc. and to produce microgames for his upcoming game. Like Wario's other friends in Diamond City, Dr. Crygor agrees.

In his stage, Dr. Crygor is in his laboratory dancing. After finishing off his dance, he reaches for something to drink and ends up grabbing a beaker filled with a blue liquid. He drinks it and suddenly comes down with food poisoning. He quickly runs for the restroom, shaking all the while. The music that plays in his stage is his theme, titled Dr. Crygor's Bathroom Jam.

Once finished, the toilet explodes behind him, flooding his lab. Dr. Crygor attempts to swim away but is sent rocketing into the sky. He tries to activate his jetpack, but it does not work, and he begins falling to the ground. Just as he is about to plummet, Don the Sparrow catches Dr. Crygor and flies him to safety. The music during this cutscene is the hurry up music from Wario Land 4. At the ending of the game, he accidentally hits Wario's rocket and makes it crash into the harbor. He and Wario paddle the rocket to safety.

In the unlockable multiplayer minigame "VS Hurdle", Dr. Crygor appears as the character of the player who has to use the button and has to reach the finish in a hurdle race before Orbulon, the other player's character.

In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, Dr. Crygor has Reality microgames, which involve photorealistic graphics.

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!
In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!, Dr. Crygor is sleeping on his toilet in his laboratory, when a UFO suddenly crashes right in front of him, causing him to launch out of his toilet. When Dr. Crygor falls back into his lab, Orbulon, Dribble & Spitz greet him. Later, the three and Dr. Crygor travel in Dribble & Spitz's taxi.

He can also be seen along with the other WarioWare employees at Restaurant Sora Sora during the cast roll.

Dr. Crygor appears as one of the ten playable characters in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!. As a playable character, his jumpsuit can be tinted in the color of the player, whether red, yellow, green or blue. He hosts the multiplayer mode Balloon Bang. In this mode, one player plays a microgame while the other players inflate a balloon by pressing repeatedly until it pops, ending the game.

As with the previous game, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$! features Dr. Crygor's Reality microgames. The game also has an arrangement of Dr. Crygor's Bathroom Jam, which plays when the player accesses his Character Intro or the menu for Balloon Bang.

WarioWare: Twisted!
In the intro of WarioWare: Twisted!, Dr. Crygor is called upon by Wario to help fix his broken Game Boy Advance. Crygor throws the system into his latest invention, the Gravitator, which spews out hundreds of smaller systems. Wario grabs one of these, only to find that it lacks any buttons. Dr. Crygor instructs him to try tilting the system, and Wario does, allowing him to pass one of his games with ease. After showing it to Mona and 9-Volt, both of which enjoy the tilting controls, Wario gets the idea to sell the system to make a huge profit.

In his stage, Dr. Crygor excitedly dances around his lab to celebrate the completion of his newest invention, the Gravitator. Suddenly the machine spews out bubbles, which trap Crygor and many of his possessions. After escaping the bubble, he claims to be a genius and immediately fires up the machine. Suddenly, the Gravitator bursts open, revealing a giant robot. Dr. Crygor jumps into the robot and flies off in it. However, while flying, Shuriken the Falcon rams into the robot, causing it to fall apart, to reveal him riding atop a mechanical duck. Dr. Crygor seems doomed until Shuriken returns to rescue him.

In Wario-Man's story, as Dr. Crygor continues to create more games with his Gravitator, Wario is on the conveyor belt and goes into the Gravitator, coming out as Wario-Man. Wario-Man then goes back into the Gravitator to power up, but Dr. Crygor tries to warn him that it is too dangerous to risk it. Despite this, Wario-Man takes no notice and flies up into space. Dr. Crygor is last seen fishing as Wario-Man (now Wario) lands in the sea next to his lab.

In this game, Dr. Crygor's microgame set is named after his latest invention and involves rotating the system to alter the gravity of the microgames.

WarioWare: Touched!
Dr. Crygor appears once again in WarioWare: Touched!, this time showing off his Tri-phonic Undulating Nanobot Automaton, or TUNA, a machine capable of making objects younger. Crygor tests his invention on an apple core, which is transformed back into a full apple. He jumps into the machine to see the apple, but the hatch closes and traps him inside. When he escapes he becomes younger and more fit. Using his jet-pack, he flies into space where he is then seen with a group of Alien Bunnies.

Later on, in the story segment of Mike, Dr. Crygor has just finished building a karaoke robot and naming him Mike. When this robot becomes operational, he announces that he is going out, and asks Mike to do some cleaning around the lab. While his master is gone, Mike's original karaoke programming is triggered by blowing a pile of dust off a windowsill, and overrides his cleaning software, making him blast out of the lab and into space to host a karaoke party on a faraway planet, and lands on the planet of the Alien Bunnies. Soon, Dr. Crygor, having realized that Mike had gone missing, hitches a taxi courtesy of Dribble & Spitz, and finds out where Mike had been. When they get home, Dr. Crygor suggests that they should sing a duet, but Mike is not impressed with his singing and, following an argument, Mike leaves again for the Hawt House.

In WarioWare: Touched!, Dr. Crygor's microgame set is called Slightly Unscrewed, and involves spinning the in circles.

WarioWare: Smooth Moves
In WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Dr. Crygor is shown to have a granddaughter, a young inventor named Penny. In her stage, she attends a competition called the "Invent-Off" at Diamond Academy and is put against her grandfather to see who is the best inventor. After what appears to be a mental fight between the two, Penny pulls her winning invention (a motorcycle) out of thin air, surprising Dr. Crygor. After defeating her grandfather, Penny sings a song to the cheering crowd.

Later, Dr. Crygor stars in a stage. Here he reveals his latest invention, the large machine known as the Kelorometer, capable of slimming down anything put into it. After completing twenty microgames, the player's Mii is slimmed down and their performance is graded.

WarioWare: D.I.Y.
In WarioWare: D.I.Y., Dr. Crygor appears in the introduction scene, where he is in his laboratory playing video games on his Wii. Suddenly, the game's characters start swarming out of the TV screen to attack him, until it turns out that he was having a bad dream. This weird dream then gives him an idea for a new invention, and eventually he builds the Super MakerMatic 21, a machine that can create microgames, records and four-page black and white comics in a near-instant.

Deep in his laboratory, Dr. Crygor and his granddaughter, Penny, are busy building more Super MakerMatic 21 machines, when Wario comes in with a broken television, asking him if he could fix it. Wario sees the new machines on the conveyor belt, asking what those are. Dr. Crygor explains to Wario about the machines' functions, giving Wario some ideas on making money with his new invention.

Although Dr. Crygor does not have a microgame stage of his own in this game, the player can enter his laboratory after it has been unlocked and create microgames, music records and comics using his invention.

Game & Wario
Dr. Crygor appears in Game & Wario. In the game's opening cutscene, he along with Penny and Mike notice the new game console. He hosts the minigame Design. In the minigame's introductory cutscene, Dr. Crygor arises from his bed in his lab, only to suffer from a stomachache. He then goes to his bathroom, which has a toilet with a shower. He sits on the toilet, only to find out that his bottom is stuck inside it. Having an idea, he turns on the shower and is sent from his toilet and into pipes leading to a room located underground. Dr. Crygor enters wearing a labcoat, with a rose between his teeth.

In Design, the player must draw accurate lines to build a robot. Dr. Crygor guides the player throughout the minigame, and also reviews the lines they made. After the player has drawn the lines and built the robot, Dr. Crygor comments on their efforts. He is also in the Bowling minigame, depicted on a bowling pin like most other WarioWare characters.

One of Mona's Superscoops features an anecdote about Dr. Crygor. Dr. Crygor hires Mona as his assistant robot designer. However, after her first day of work, he commented that her attempt was terrible. In the end, Mona states that Dr. Crygor is "really difficult to please". Like the other WarioWare characters, Dr. Crygor appears in Miiverse Sketch Masterpiece Collection, a video series analyzing questionable drawings made in Miiverse Sketch. Dr. Crygor is the host of the eleventh video, themed after drawings of frogs.

WarioWare Gold
Dr. Crygor returns in WarioWare Gold, hosting the second set of the Twist League, which has a Sports theme. In his story, he and Mike are stuck in Agate Forest, a location filled with "paranormal frequencies" when they run into a robot named Doris 1. Doris 1 recognizes Dr. Crygor as her creator, who abandoned her for reasons undisclosed and proceeds to chase him. Later, after the confusion is cleared, Dr. Crygor takes in Doris 1 out of generosity, and Doris 1 contradicts Mike's claims that there is no paranormal activity, claiming that it walked right through her. Dr. Crygor then realizes that he dropped the fungi in the forest, and asks Mike to go back there, but he refuses.

Dr. Crygor also appears in Penny's stage. Penny tests the Tonally Transformative Elixir on Dr. Crygor, only for him to have extreme stomach pain. To cure this, Penny whips out her Super-Special Tummy Tonic to cure the pain in his stomach. Eventually, the pain is counteracted, and Dr. Crygor then asks when the elixir's effects will wear off, as Penny giggles nervously. His appearance in this stage makes him and 9-Volt the only microgame hosts (aside from Wario himself) to have dialogue in more than one stage outside the Ultra League.

During the Dancing Team set of the Ultra League, Dr. Crygor arrives with Mona, Jimmy T, Mike, Fronk, Young Cricket & Master Mantis, Kat & Ana, and Penny to assist Joe in filling up his new nightclub, Club Joe. He unintentionally drives off almost everyone in the club with his dance moves. He is then seen dancing with the rest of the group after everyone comes back.

In his character trailer, Dr. Crygor and Penny both wake up via each other's alarm clocks and do their morning routines. Through his invention, Dr. Crygor transitions from his original outfit to his current appearance. At the end of his routine, Dr. Crygor wears Penny's jacket, and two roses on his metal plate, much to Penny, Mike, and Doris 1's dismay.

WarioWare: Get It Together!
Dr. Crygor appears in WarioWare: Get It Together!. Notably, Dr. Crygor's design, excluding his swimwear, closely resembles his appearance from WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! to WarioWare: Touched!. In the game's story mode, he appears in the opening cutscene, welding an object. He, along with the rest of the WarioWare, Inc. employees, gets sucked in the game world due to Wario's actions.

His stage is the High Tech stage, which is available after Mona's That's Life stage is completed. In the pre-stage cutscene, Wario, Young Cricket, 18-Volt, and Mona notice Dr. Crygor in front of his stage entrance, who is distracted with his newfound ability, along with the corruption of his stage. After Wario gets Crygor's attention, Cricket explains the situation, causing Crygor to gain interest in the game bugs.

In his story, Dr. Crygor is testing a new invention in a top secret factory: Flatterbots. The robots successfully applaud Doris 1's cleaning and Mike's singing, but do not react to Dr. Crygor's dancing. Deeming the test a failure, Dr. Crygor recalls the Flatterbots. After his stage is cleared, Dr. Crygor joins the gang, reassuring his status as a genius.

After beating Anything Goes, Dr. Crygor goes back to the real world alongside most of the other WarioWare, Inc. employees and chases after Wario after it is revealed their predicament was caused by his poor programming. However, they soon remember other people were left behind in the game world, and they immediately return to rescue them. After completing the three towers and collecting the Golden Cracked Mug, Golden Beehive, and Golden Toilet Paper Roll, he calls his granddaughter Penny to assist Wario and co. in combining the objects.

As a playable character, Dr. Crygor is able to fly, but his form of control is different from other flying characters. Pressing and holding makes him swim in the air and charge forward, and tilting  changes his direction. With his ability to ram into objects and free control over direction, Crygor excels in microgames where constant pressure is required (e.g. Don't Waste the Paste) and can easily use his ability to spin objects (e.g. Sanitation Station, Wind-Up Pup). However, his ability is weak in moving objects with precision, as solid objects will bounce off Crygor's attacks, which also have little effect on moving the objects. A major example of this disadvantage is Basically Water Polo, the only microgame considered a bad fit. Overall, Dr. Crygor has a fairly balanced amount of microgames that deem him an above-average or average fit (87 and 95 respectively).

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Dr. Crygor appears as a sticker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, depicted in his artwork from WarioWare: Touched!. When used in The Subspace Emissary, it increases the fighter's arm- and leg-based attacks by two increments.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Dr. Crygor appears as a trophy that uses his artwork from Game & Wario. It can be obtained through purchasing in the Trophy Shop. When rotating the trophy to its backside, it depicts an artwork of him with a rose between his teeth. The trophy's description states "Rumor has it he's even working on a time machine."; this is a reference to the "diary" section of the Japanese WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! official site, which has a page where Dr. Crygor writes down his progress on building a time machine.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Dr. Crygor appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as an Advanced-class Spirit which depicts his WarioWare Gold appearance. When equipped on a fighter, it increases the strength of electric attacks. In World of Light, it is located on the Light Realm; outside, it can also be obtained from the Spirit Board. The spirit's corresponding battle sees the player facing against Dr. Mario, Wario, and R.O.B. in WarioWare, Inc., with Mike's Song playing in the background.

Nintendo Badge Arcade
Dr. Crygor features as a badge in Nintendo Badge Arcade in the WarioWare set, which features the series' characters. The badge uses his Game & Wario artwork from the opening cutscene of Design when he is stuck in his toilet; the latter is not depicted in the collectable.

Rhythm Heaven Megamix
Dr. Crygor makes several appearances in the Wario... Where? challenge set of Rhythm Heaven Megamix. He first appears in the background alongside Penny in the set's version of, which features Mike as one of the models of robots being filled with liquid. He later stars as the player character in the set's version of, which has him taking photos of racing Tiny Warios and Dribble & Spitz.

Physical description
Dr. Crygor is a cyborg, with his parts being a metal head plate, metal gloves and boots, and a visor. He is an elderly man, though appearing middle-aged until the later games. He is bald, and has an elongated, fair-skinned face with a flat chin, a large, red and rounded nose, a pointy and thin mustache of a similar style to Waluigi's, and defined lips. His body is hunchbacked, has a potbelly, and a contoured rear end. In WarioWare Gold, he was redesigned to look more elderly; his character card states his age as being "over 100 years old".

His outfit varies throughout the WarioWare series. In most of his appearances, he wears a visor that has one glowing red eye, obscuring his normal eyes; and a full-body cryogenic jumpsuit. In most games prior to WarioWare Gold, his eye is normally situated on the right side of his visor; after, his eye is shown usually centered. His metal plate is studded and has ear coverings which resemble headphones. Each of his gloves have an orange hemisphere on the front. In the games before WarioWare: Touched!, and in WarioWare: Get It Together!, he has a green visor, and his blue metal plate only covers the right side of his head, exposing his scalp. His jumpsuit is yellow, with a blue narrow stripe. Only one glove and boot cover his left arm and right leg, respectively. He also wears this outfit when retiring into bed, as shown in his and Penny's character trailer in WarioWare Gold.

After Dr. Crygor's TUNA upgrade in WarioWare: Touched!, the left side of his head is also covered with a metal plate. He has his gloves and boots on both of his arms and legs. He also gains a red color scheme. This design is kept in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, mostly in Penny's stage, until the Kelorometer stage, when he is upgraded further, becoming muscular. His Kelorometer suit is yellow with gray accents, and has a blue cape. In addition to having spiked ear coverings, he has his headgear cover everything of his head, except his nose and mouth. WarioWare: D.I.Y. gives Dr. Crygor a unique design with gray accents on his head, rubber gloves, and boots. He also has a green accent marked in front of his metal plate, which has a rounded antenna on top.

In Game & Wario and Rhythm Heaven Megamix, Dr. Crygor wears a black jumpsuit which is layered with a white labcoat. In addition to his black jumpsuit, he has a bigger and arched visor. He has grayish-blue accents on his metal plate and gloves. In the latter game's, he does not wear his labcoat. WarioWare Gold keeps his metal plate, visor, and gloves from Game & Wario; and his outfit in that game is a white shorts jumpsuit marked with a wide gray stripe, and grayish-blue boots. WarioWare: Get It Together! adds a green polka-dot inner tube, and green flippers, to his original outfit as his swimwear.

Personality
As a mad scientist, Dr. Crygor has an eccentric disposition, as shown in his unique and unusual inventions. He is able to come up with an idea very quickly. He tries to offer the player an apprenticeship, as shown in his profile page located in the Japanese website for WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, and in the completion screen for his Design minigame in Game & Wario. He frequently uses complex and science-related words in the descriptions for his microgames, especially in WarioWare Gold and in WarioWare: Get It Together!. He has a romantic side; when shown dancing or celebrating, a rose is in his hand or in between his teeth. Dr. Crygor is terrible in singing; when challenging Mike to a duet in WarioWare: Touched!, the latter comments on the former's singing as "99.78% awful". He also dances in simple and swaying poses that are seen as repulsive, as shown when he dances in Club Joe, and when his Flatterbots in his secret factory fail to laud his dance moves.

Dr. Crygor is also easily frightened. The opening cutscene for WarioWare: D.I.Y. shows a nightmare wherein video game characters suddenly leave his television and close in on him, much to his surprise. In WarioWare Gold, he screams in paranoia whenever something approaches him from behind. When Doris 1 lashes out at him for abandoning her in Agate Forest, he runs away from her in extreme fear as she chases him. As pointed out by his robot Mike in WarioWare: Get It Together!, he has a phobia of the dark. Dr. Crygor initially denies the fear. However, as soon as the lights go out in Jimmy T's microgame stage, he screams in horror. Mike calls him a "scaredy-cat" as a response.

Penny's character blog from the official Japanese website for WarioWare: Smooth Moves reveals that Dr. Crygor has a bad reputation, being called names such as "abnormal" and "weirdo". Despite so, he is still loved dearly by Penny for his intelligence and ingenuity. In turn, Dr. Crygor has great affection for his granddaughter, and is often seen helping Penny test out her inventions. In WarioWare Gold, he states that he supports her, regardless of how her experiments turn out. His character trailer from the same game implies that he and Penny share identical morning routines.

Dr. Crygor's interests mostly involve toilets, as evidenced by the toilet paper motifs seen in some WarioWare games and a toilet being used as an entrance to his lab in Game & Wario. His unexpected stomach pains cause Dr. Crygor to go to the bathroom to alleviate them. These stomach illnesses are the result of chemicals from fluids that he ends up drinking, such as the Tonally Transformative Elixir, or the blue liquid he drinks in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!.

Powers and abilities
Dr. Crygor has the ability to swim in mid-air as demonstrated in the ending cutscene of WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames! when he swims in the sky and inadvertently hits Wario's rocket. In WarioWare: Get It Together!, air-swimming is shown as his main ability. Despite having a jetpack, he is unable to use it. The epilogue for his story in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames! shows his jetpack failing to work, making him fall down. However, in WarioWare: Touched! after Dr. Crygor has been upgraded, he can use his improved jetpack to soar into outer space.
