Dribble & Spitz

"I'm on it!"

- Dribble

Dribble and Spitz are major anthropomorphic animal characters in the WarioWare series. The duo consists of Dribble, an orange bulldog, and Spitz, a small squinting yellow cat, and together, they run Diamond Taxi, where they are both cabbies. They drive a taxi that has been souped-up and is capable of travelling into space, among other things, and often they take on board passengers that turn out to be supernatural in some way.

WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania
Dribble and Spitz were first seen in the intro scene of WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania, in which they were called by Wario to join his "company", WarioWare, Inc., and they agreed to produce microgames for him.

In their own story, Dribble and Spitz drive up and down Diamond City late at night, and pick up a young girl or boy who asks them to take her or him to the sea. When they arrive at the pier, the girl or boy walks to the edge, transforms into a mermaid or merman in front of the furry cabbies, and jumps in the sea, bidding them farewell. Fascinated by this strange phenomena until dawn breaks, they eventually realize that they had forgotten to collect the mermaid or merman's fare.

Dribble also appears in an unlockable mini-game called VS Dong Dong, where he is up against Mona to push yellow blocks with the moving bar and squash the opponent on the other side.

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!
In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!, Dribble and Spitz are travelling around Diamond City, where they are called upon by a woman who was really Orbulon in disguise. She asks them to take her to the farthest reaches of outer space, and on the way, she reveals her true identity, but the furry duo don't seem to be bothered. When they arrive, Orbulon drags the taxi into his Oinker, and makes them his underlings, until they suddenly get hit by an asteroid and fall back down to Earth, landing in Dr. Crygor's laboratory. Dribble and Spitz's taxi soon becomes able to float on water, and they, Orbulon and Dr. Crygor travel to the mainland. During the journey, Spitz tunes in to watch the Super Show, and before long they had arrived in Sora Sora, where Mona is working.

WarioWare Twisted!
In WarioWare Twisted!, Dribble and Spitz are driving through Interstate 310, where Spitz is fiddling about with the taxi radio while being told by Dribble not to sleep on the job. Suddenly, the taxi breaks down, and during their microgames stage, they try to fix it. They fix it in the end, but Spitz has fallen asleep again, so Dribble decides to push a button that transforms the taxi, and takes them into space. Before long, they pick up an alien customer that asks them to take it to Club Sugar.

WarioWare Touched!
While Dribble and Spitz do not have their own microgame stage in WarioWare: Touched!, they make a brief appearance at the end of Mike's story, where they are called upon by Dr. Crygor to help him look for his missing robot, and eventually find him on the planet of the Space Bunnies. They also appear in the character selection screen every time one or more characters are unlocked.

WarioWare: Smooth Moves
Dribble and Spitz appear once again in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, where they are cleaning their taxi, glad that the weather had turned out to be nice after all. Suddenly a young woman arrives, asking for a ride to a place called Tomorrow Hill. When they arrive, they are shocked to see that a giant spaceship had descended to the edge of Tomorrow Hill, where the young lady transforms into an alien and departs, leaving her hat behind. Once they got over their shock, Dribble and Spitz realise that the alien hadn't pay the fare.

WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase
In WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, the WiiWare counterpart for WarioWare D.I.Y., Dribble and Spitz take part in the Diamond Rally Championship, where they try to overtake their opponents. After the boss stage is completed, their taxi breaks down.

Dribble and Spitz make cameo appearances in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as Stickers. If the Dribble Sticker is used in the Subspace Emissary mode by a player, the player's battering resistance will be raised up by six.
