-'''Young Cricket & Master Mantis''' are two characters from the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series, first appearing in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. They are martial artists and [[WarioWare, Inc.]] employees who like meat dumplings. Master Mantis is an elderly teacher of martial arts, while Young Cricket is his devoted student. When they are first introduced, they appear to be rather serious characters, shown training in difficult conditions, but it is later shown that they 'fit in' with the rest of [[Wario]]'s friends.
+'''Young Cricket''' is a major character in the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series, first appearing in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. He is a martial artist and a [[WarioWare, Inc.]] employee who is obsessed with meat dumplings, and is the devoted apprentice of [[Master Mantis]].

His name may be a play on the phrase "patience, young grasshopper", originating from the 1972 television series ''{{wp|Kung Fu (1972 TV series)|Kung Fu}}''.

The two smell dumplings being served at a nearby food stand. Cricket starts running on the [[Park Street Residents]]' heads to the front of the line. Eventually, he reaches the front of the line and asks for two dumplings, only to find that the people he stepped on are all angry at him.

-In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', Young Cricket & Master Mantis are the hosts of the fourth stage of the Touch League, with the Sports theme. In their story, they are training in [[Diamond City Amusement Park]]. Cricket analyzes how dangerous two rides are, and then decides he is ready to prove himself. Mantis leads him to a merry-go-round known as Precious Prancers, where Cricket is ready to start his trial after overreacting about how dangerous the attraction is. After Cricket survives the trial, [[Lulu]], who mistakes him for one of the horses, jumps on his shoulder, which Mantis then notices. Cricket tells Lulu to get off of him, which shocks her. Mantis then proceeds to the next trial, the "Trial of the Lost Child", as Lulu (still clinging onto him) tells him to "giddyup, horsey."

-At the end of the game, Cricket & Mantis are among the group who demands Wario to pay them for the [[microgame]]s they designed for the [[Wario Bowl]]. After Wario trips and lets his money briefcase fall, Mantis tells Cricket to use his newly learned technique, the "Precious Prancing Pounce", to stop Wario from escaping further. All of Wario's friends then decide to split the remaining money equally between them as Cricket holds off Wario from interfering. The player is then rewarded the 10000 [[coin]]s they were given at the beginning of the game to buy their admission into the Wario Bowl.

He, along with the rest of the WarioWare, Inc. employees, gets sucked into the game world due to [[Wario]]'s actions. His hair is slightly changed, with it being less longer in the back, and with some hair tips being more to the side rather than an outline.
 Young Cricket is the second character to be unlocked following Wario, as he joins Wario in the first level alongside [[18-Volt]]. After beating Wario's stage, 18-Volt recognizes the game bug that sabotaged Wario's stage, and Cricket hypothesizes that destroying the game bugs will fix the game. Throughout the various pre-stage cutscenes, Cricket is shown pushing 18-Volt due to the latter's inability to move.
-Young Cricket & Master Mantis appear in the intro of Jimmy T's stage where they do an aerobics performance with him, Lulu, and Joe.
+Young Cricket appears in the intro of Jimmy T's stage where he does an aerobics performance with him, Mantis, Lulu, and Joe.
+After beating Anything Goes, Young Cricket 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. When they soon remember other people were left behind in the game world, Cricket suggests that everyone return to the game world to rescue their friends, which they do immediately.
+As a playable character, Young Cricket is controlled with the {{button|switch|leftstick}} moving him left and right. Pressing {{button|switch|a}} makes him jump, and the height of his jump can be increased by holding {{button|switch|a}}. He excels in microgames where action at lower areas is prioritized (e.g. [[Roll Cake]] and [[A Moving Experience]], the 2 microgames that deems him a good fit). However, there are very few microgames that involve action near the ground, and most microgames involve action at higher areas. Due to this, he is inadequate in most microgames (e.g. [[Gondola Lift]], the only microgame deeming him a bad fit). Young Cricket has the most number of microgames deeming him an average fit (154), along with 32 above-average fits and 23 below-average fits.

+====''WarioWare: Move It!''====
+[[File:Screenshot WarioWare Move It Cricket Mantis.png|left|thumb|Cricket and Mantis against the leader of the penguins]]
+Young Cricket appears in ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'', where he joins Wario along with the rest of the WarioWare Inc. crew to [[Caresaway Island]]. In his stage, "Battle on Flashfreeze Cape!", Young Cricket and Master Mantis are seen at the titular cape, where he catches multiple fish and organizes them above a campfire to cook. While waiting, snow suddenly falls on the cape, and the duo are ambushed by a gang of penguins, which Cricket switfly dodges. The head penguin commends Cricket's agility and challenges him to microcombat, who accepts. Eventually, Cricket defeats the penguin gang, leading the head penguin to reveal himself as a disguised [[Cicada]], who further compliments Cricket's prowess before leaving. Cricket and Mantis remain confused to her presence and identity.
+[[File:Screenshot WarioWare Move It Remix 2 Group 3.png|thumb|200px|Cricket, Mantis and Kat & Ana balance on Poolopus' tentacle]]
+Cricket also appears in the second Remix stage, "Pool-Party Panic". He is first seen playing with a ball with Mantis, [[Kat and Ana|Kat, and Ana]]. The ball gets lodged in [[Poolopus]]' mouth, prompting the rest of the crew in trying to remove it, only to be flung into the air before landing on a moving tour bus. When the bus stops, everyone returns to the pool and asks Poolopus to throw them again.
+Cricket, 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.
+{{br}}
-Master Mantis appears in the post-game story where he is bound to a rope in the Super Hard tower. When Wario and co. reach the tower, they free Mantis and he joins the rest of the employees chasing down the mysterious object who initially kidnapped him. Upon clearing the Showdown stage, Wario complains about having ended up without any treasure, to which Master Mantis replies that the end that Wario may have seeked was "Treasure not the gold but the journey it inspired."
+===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
+In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], there are a few collectible items of Young Cricket. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', there is a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] of Young Cricket, and equipping it raises a player's attack by three. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', there is a [[spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] of Young Cricket.
-As a playable character, Young Cricket is controlled with the {{button|ns|leftstick}} moving him left and right. Pressing {{button|ns|a}} makes him jump, and the height of his jump can be increased by holding {{button|ns|a}}.  Master Mantis is controlled in the same way, but with the additional ability to walk upside-down on any ceiling, if he jumps high enough. Both characters excel in microgames where action at lower areas is prioritized (e.g. [[Roll Cake]] and [[A Moving Experience]], the 2 microgames that deem them a good fit). However, there are very few microgames that involve action near the ground, and most microgames involve action at higher areas. Due to this, they are inadequate in most microgames (e.g. [[Gondola Lift]], the only microgame considered a bad fit for both characters). Master Mantis's additional ability gives him more potential to complete microgames in higher areas. Because Young Cricket & Master Mantis have the most amount of microgames where they are considered an average fit (154 and 148 respectively), they are overall considered to be generally balanced, with very few microgames deeming them unfit.
+In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Young Cricket can be seen on the sketchpad in one of the randomly generated layouts for the [[Gamer (stage)|Gamer]] [[stage]].

+==General information==
-In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Young Cricket appears as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Sticker]] that raises a player's attack by three.
+===Physical description===
+[[File:Young_Cricket_Art_-_Game_%26_Wario.png|70px|thumb|Young Cricket's ''Game & Wario'' design]]
+Young Cricket is shown to be either an older teenager or an adult, and has a tall build. He has black hair with white tips and oval eyes. He wears a blue martial artist jacket with white buttons in the front, along with a white stripe wrapping around the bottom of his jacket, with two short stripes on the sides of his body. Along with this, he wears blue loose-fitting pants that somewhat flare out at the bottom, with blue and white shoes and silver martial artist armbands.
+Starting with his debut in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', he is shown to have brown eyes. After the art style changes in ''[[Game & Wario]]'', his eyes are changed to black. His eyes stay black in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', but his pants are also changed to be less wide. In ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', his armbands are removed during the Sports intro cutscene, revealing that his arms are somewhat muscular. In addition, his hair is slightly altered; it is shorter in the back, and the white tips on the sides of his hair are more to the side rather than all around it. In [[:File:WWGIT Gallery Young Cricket 5.png|one of the character gallery artwork]], he is shown to be wearing a black shirt and a wraparound under his jacket.
+His child self wears a blue sleeveless shirt, blue shorts, and blue shoes. In this form, he doesn’t have white tips on his hair. In his character trailer, he wears a white belt, but in [[:File:WWGIT Gallery Young Cricket 2.png|his character gallery artwork]], he is shown wearing a red belt.
+===Personality===
+Young Cricket is heavily devoted to martial arts, training in difficult environments. He is also shown to be a big fan of meat dumplings throughout his appearances in the ''WarioWare'' franchise, like his ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' stage and the Kung Fu minigame in ''Game & Wario''. Also, the Meat Dumpling [[Prezzy]] in ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'' is one of his most favorite, and his spirit in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' has a dumpling Item Tidal Wave, referencing his favorite food. In ''WarioWare Gold'', his serious personality remains, but for comedic effect, as he even goes as far as to "train" at the Diamond City Amusement Park, and also appears to have a tendency to overexaggerate. At least in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', he is shown being a little naïve.
+===Powers and abilities===
+Since Young Cricket is a martial artist, he knows a variety of kung-fu moves, including the Precious Prancing Pounce and We-Yu-Ken. In addition, he has excellent jumping abilities, being able to jump several feet high, as shown in both the Kung Fu game mode in ''Game & Wario'' and ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'' In the latter, he is also shown to be an excellent runner as well.
+===Relationships===
+[[File:WWSM Blog Young Cricket 1.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Young Cricket and Master Mantis training together]]
+[[Master Mantis]] has been Young Cricket's mentor since he was a child. In every ''WarioWare'' game they appear in, the two have been seen together, and they share their stages in games where they have them.
-In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Young Cricket can be seen on the sketchpad in one of the randomly generated layouts for the [[Gamer (stage)|Gamer]] [[stage]].
+In a comment on the ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'' Japanese blog, [[Jimmy T]] reveals that he gave Young Cricket one of his spare phones after he stated that he did not have one. Both of them have been shown together in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', where Young Cricket visits [[Joe]]'s club along with Jimmy T in order to fill it up. Young Cricket is also shown working out alongside Jimmy T in the Sports intro cutscene in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]''

+[[Lulu]] is shown to have an obsession with Young Cricket, leading her to jump on his back in his story's ending cutscene in ''WarioWare Gold''. Young Cricket later asks her to get off, shocking Lulu. Her adoration for Young Cricket continues in ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'', in which her description states that she is "an adoring fan of Cricket (whether he likes it or not)."
