In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'', Dribble & Spitz are traveling around Diamond City, where they are called upon by a woman who is really [[Orbulon]] in disguise. She asks them to take her to the farthest reaches of outer space, which Dribble happily agrees to. After driving on a stretch of road, the taxi flies into space. When they arrive, Orbulon's disguise wears off. After passing by a planetoid, the taxi gets dragged into the [[Oinker|UFO]] and Orbulon, after thanking Dribble & Spitz, makes them his underlings. The two shout "numbskull" at Orbulon, causing a nearby asteroid to approach the UFO. It misses them, but more asteroids hit the UFO and causes it to fall back down to Earth and land in Dr. Crygor's laboratory. The three greet him when he falls back into his lab. After, Dribble & Spitz use their taxi 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. They are also seen at [[Restaurant Sora Sora]].

In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', Dribble & Spitz drive through [[Interstate 310]], where Spitz fiddles about with the taxi radio. Suddenly, the taxi breaks down, and during their microgames stage, they try to fix it. They fix it in the end, but 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]]. When they arrive, they dance on the dance floor. They make another appearance in the epilogue of [[Wario-Man]]'s story, driving in their taxi.

Dribble & Spitz's microgames in ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' involve a particular style of gameplay rather than a specific visual theme, which was also continued for the next games in the series until ''WarioWare: D.I.Y.'' In this game, their set of microgames is called Steer Clear and require tilting the Game Boy Advance and pressing the {{button|gba|A}} Button. Before their stage begins, the player can choose between the songs "[[Dribble & Spitz (souvenir)|Dribble & Spitz]]" and "[[Taxi Sonata]]" to play in the background.


Dribble & Spitz also appear in ''[[WarioWare Twisted Marble Maze Game]]'', where they can both be seen on the Round 3 board.

Dribble & Spitz appear once again in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. On the map, Dribble repeatedly eats a chocolate bar and gets choked up, surprising Spitz. In their opening movie, a curtain rises as spotlights move around. Once they converge on a sign with their names on it, the light expands and they rise from their taxi. Spitz gives off a meow before the scene fades to black. In their story, the two clean their taxi, glad that the weather has 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 [[Alien Mitzi's Spaceship|spaceship]] has descended to the edge of Tomorrow Hill. The young lady transforms into an alien named [[Alien Mitzi|Mitzi]] and departs using the spaceship, leaving her hat behind. Once they get over their shock, Dribble & Spitz realize that Mitzi did not pay the fare. During [[Tiny Wario]]'s epilogue cutscene, Spitz is seen holding [[Red (WarioWare series)|Red]] by the tail while Dribble watches nearby as Wario gets chased by some [[Splunk]]s.
