Orbulon: Difference between revisions

Very little is known about Orbulon’s past, except for the fact that his [[Oinker]] was a gift given to him by [[Papa Orb|his father]]. Not much is also known about his species or home planet; however, in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', in his Spindex description, he states that on his home planet, time moves at half the speed it does on earth. In ''[[Game & Wario]]'', upon calling the Otherworldly Call Code, the player can call a young alien, whose nightstand has a photo of them with another alien that bears a strong resemblance to Orbulon, except they are purple. Whether or not this alien is Orbulon's kind is unknown. Additionally, the Ancient Deity in ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'' also bears a strong resemblance to Orbulon, though it is also unknown if the two are related.

In his own story, Orbulon approaches Diamond City's planet in his Oinker. Suddenly, a meteoroid flies into the ship and causes it to malfunction. Orbulon, distraught, runs to the exit door and sends a distress call. Shortly after this, a rescue team of [[Alien Bunny|Space Hares]] flies by and stops by the Oinker. From their spaceship, they send a cylindrical container connected with a chain into the Oinker. He enters it, and the Space Hares retract it into their ship.  

Once the container returns to the Space Hares' ship, Orbulon [[Fourth wall|tells the player]] to watch his alien powers. Soon after, a Space Hare pulls a switch and lets the container fall back into the Oinker. This causes it to land near the [[Gelateria]]. At the Gelateria, Orbulon repeatedly pops out of the Oinker.

In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'', Orbulon loses his Oinker in space for an unknown reason, while still being on Diamond City's planet. To return to it, Orbulon shapeshifts into a woman with red hair and black clothing. He hails a taxi, namely [[Dribble & Spitz]]'s [[Dribble Taxi|taxi]]. After being asked for the destination, Orbulon replies with "the farthest reaches of outer space". Dribble agrees to this and drives the taxi into space. By the time the taxi reaches space, Orbulon returns to his normal form.

After the taxi passes a planetoid, the Oinker rises and abducts the taxi. From there, Orbulon thanks Dribble & Spitz and decides to make them his underlings. In response, the two yell "numbskull" at him, causing a meteoroid to hurtle towards the Oinker. It misses, but a group of smaller meteoroids hits the Oinker and causes it to spiral towards Diamond City. This time, it falls directly into [[Dr. Crygor]]'s [[Dr. Crygor's Lab|Lab]]. Once it lands, it startles Dr. Crygor and is sent high into the air. When he falls back down, the three greet him. Now with Dr. Crygor, the taxi travels by water to return to the mainland.

He and the rest of the WarioWare Inc. employees are at [[Restaurant Sora Sora]] during the cast roll.

Orbulon hosts the multiplayer mode [[All For One]]. He is also one of the ten selectable characters in multiplayer games. He is one of the small characters, meaning that he moves fast and leaves afterimages over the screen in [[Outta My Way (multiplayer mode)|Outta My Way]] and [[Survival Fever]]. His shoes and cape are tinted in the player's color.

[[File:Orbulon story WWTw.png|thumb|left|Orbulon and his "bunny minions" inside of the Oinker.]]

In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', Orbulon travels in space again with the Oinker. However, steering the ship tires him out, so he gives this task to his two "bunny minions", which are both Alien Bunnies. Orbulon relaxes in his seat behind his minions at the control panel. He assigns one Alien Bunny to rub his shoulders but is unsatisfied by it, so Orbulon assigns the player to massage him. After the massage, Orbulon decides to take a nap and tells his minions to take care of the ship. However, 30 minutes later, the Bunnies decide to take naps as well.  

Three hours later, an alarm in the ship warns the crew that the ship approaches a black hole. Quickly, Orbulon tries to activate the ship's Warp Mode to escape, but in his panic, he forgets the password for a moment but remembers it after a bit. Orbulon and his minions manage to escape at the last second. To rest, they steer the spaceship to an assumed planet. However, it is actually [[Space Monster Gabriel]], a giant, planet-like being with a big mouth. Gabriel opens its mouth and tries to eat the Oinker, but soon spits out the spaceship which crashes near [[Club Sugar]]. He dances along with the other people there.

In [[Wario-Man]]'s story, Orbulon gives [[Mona]], [[Kat & Ana|Kat, Ana]], [[9-Volt]], and [[18-Volt]] a flight in his spaceship. All five humans sit on seats behind Orbulon. This time, he steers a slightly differently shaped yellow Oinker. During their journey, the occupants notice an unknown being in space wearing a purple mecha suit. It is Wario who has accidentally transformed into Wario-Man and gained a mecha suit because of Dr. Crygor's [[Gravitator]]. However, Orbulon does recognize Wario and so the Oinker attacks the presumed enemy and destroys Wario-Man's mecha suit. After the suit is removed, Orbulon and the others seem to identify Wario, who falls into the sea near Dr. Crygor's Lab.

In the mini-game [[Batting Practice]], Orbulon briefly shows up in his Oinker when the player manages to score five home runs. Like the other WarioWare developers, there are [[List of WarioWare: Twisted! souvenirs|souvenirs]] related to Orbulon, namely a [[Fan (souvenirs)#Orbulon Fan|fan]], a [[Figurines (WarioWare: Twisted!)#Orbulon|figurine]], and a [[Lightwand#Orbulon Lightwand|lightwand]].

While Orbulon does not have a story segment in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', he makes a few appearances in other characters' stories. In [[Ashley]] & [[Red (WarioWare series)|Red]]'s story, Orbulon flies his spaceship over [[Ashley's Mansion]]. Suddenly, a lightning bolt strikes the Oinker and boots Orbulon out of it. While the Oinker flies away, Orbulon falls near the mansion. He runs after the Oinker but collides with Ashley. She gets mad, with her hair turning white with anger. Orbulon excuses himself for his mishap and runs away frightened. However, Ashley says that Orbulon is the missing ingredient that she needs for her magic potion. Red offers to catch the alien for her and chases after Orbulon, attacking him with his trident. Orbulon manages to escape from Red.

Orbulon, along with [[Mona]], [[Jimmy T|Jimmy T.]], 9-Volt, and Ashley, leave Wario in favor of developing games for [[Diamond Software]] in ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]''. In his stage, the Oinker gets hit by lightning again, which causes him to be popped out and fall on a rocket shortly before it launches, taking Orbulon with it high into the air. During his intermissions, a news reporter wonders what is in the rocket ship, closing up on Orbulon as he screams from within the rocket.

[[File:WWMI Orbulon.png|left|thumb|Orbulon in ''WarioWare: Move It!'']]

In ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'', Orbulon, alongside his fellow [[WarioWare, Inc.]] employees, joins Wario on the vacation he won to [[Caresaway Island]]. His stage uses the [[Form Stones|forms]] Ba-KAW, Gift Giver, and Lifter.

In the intro cutscene for his stage, he is eating various fruits but is making a mess on the [[Oinker]], causing it to get angry and shake him off, causing him to land in a forest, hitting a statue of the Ancient Deity that the [[Woods Watchers]] happened to be worshiping and hitting his head so hard that he gets amnesia. The Woods Watchers immediately notice the similarities between Orbulon and the deity, and begin worshipping Orbulon and overstuffing him with fruits, which he goes along with as he lost his memories. The Oinker watches and is shocked by this, and emits a signal into Orbulon's brain, causing tiny worker Orbulons inside to come out to work to restore his memories.  

In his stage's ending cutscene, Orbulon begins to remember the time he spent with his Oinker, and finally gets his memories back. He apologizes to the Oinker and they go to hug each other before Orbulon slips a banana peel, landing flat on his face and losing his memories once again.

He also appears in the cutscene for the Remix 1 stage, where he is seen sipping coconut juice before falling asleep, only to be woken up by [[Lulu]] playing with his Oinker.

Orbulon, along with the rest of the ''WarioWare'' cast appear in the final stage, "Lava at First Sight", where they all dance to defeat [[Volcano Wario]]. After Wario is launched from the volcano, the cast enjoys their vacation, while Wario is stuck inside a temple.

Orbulon faced a redesign going into ''Gold''. He is significantly smaller, and his antennae bends a little bit to the right. He is also very plump. His red medallion has been changed to a golden one, and he no longer wears his boots, revealing his small feet. Another big change is that his [[Oinker]] has also been shrunk, and he sits in it almost everywhere he goes.

Orbulon is implied to sleep a lot (or take a lot of naps) as seen in several games. In ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', Orbulon gets tired from steering his Oinker too much and gets a shoulder massage by the Alien Bunnies (with help from the player) and decides to take a nap afterwards. In ''WarioWare: D.I.Y'', his Blender selection description says he wants a nap. In ''WarioWare Gold'', his alarm clock description says that Orbulon is said to sleep at weeks at a time. In ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'', Orbulon says "Mmm... sleepy time" when the player chooses to quit after getting a [[Game Over]]. In ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'', in the intro cutscene for the Remix 1 stage, he is seen briefly sleeping before being abruptly woken up by [[Lulu]] messing with his Oinker. As Orbulon is still learning human language such as English, he jumbles certain words and phrases, such as saying "Over is the game" and "The bad is mine". He also does not understand figure of speech, as shown when he thinks Gigantaburger's Megaburgers are made out of live pigs.
