In ''[[Wario's Woods]]'', Wario uses the Bulldog to patrol the skies over the [[Wario's Woods (location)|woods]] and cause trouble for [[Toad]], who seeks to free the forest from Wario's control. At the end of the Round Game mode in the SNES version, Toad throws a [[bomb]] at Wario's [[Wario Castle|castle]] as he flies around worriedly in the Bulldog. The bomb's explosion causes the Bulldog to break, sending Wario flying out of it and falling to the ground.

The Bulldog appears in ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]'', where it is referred to by Wario as simply "Bulldog", rather than "the Bulldog".

During the events of the game, Wario takes a vacation to the [[Awazon river basin]], and he decides to land Bulldog in a lake near the Aldegara Waterfall. Relaxing by the river, he soon falls asleep. He is then awoken because a mysterious [[Beaver (Virtual Boy Wario Land)|Beaver]] emerges from the lake and spits water in his face. The Beaver quickly moves out of sight while Wario spots some strange creatures carrying treasure. The creatures enter a cave within the Aldegara Waterfall, and Wario decides to follow them. When he returns from his adventure, Wario finds that his seaplane has attracted many of the lake's creatures, who have found it amusing to damage Bulldog while Wario was not around. The Beaver then gives Wario an idea for transportation, which varies depending on how much money Wario obtains by the end of the game. The modes of transportation from the worst ending to the best ending are: two fans, a dirigible powered by peddling, a dragon and its children, and a remote controlled airplane in which Wario sits on top of the glass covering for the cockpit. If all the treasures and the most amount of money are collected, Wario gets a vase and a carpet. The game does not get to the damaged airplane scene, but instead cuts to Wario riding the flying carpet while keeping the money he has, as well as a woman in a bunny-themed outfit.

In the opening cutscene of ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', Wario flies what appears to be the Bulldog over some woods, when suddenly, it runs out of gas. Unharmed, Wario comes across a cave where the [[Music Box|music box]] that contains the [[music box (world)|music box world]] is located. This opening cannot be seen again until the player wipes their save data.

In the short children's book ''[[Mario and the Incredible Rescue]]'', the eighth chapter has Mario, [[Luigi]], [[Yoshi]] and Toad fighting Wario, as he rides a plane dropping [[Bucket]]s on the group. Eventually, Mario and Yoshi manage to put one of the Buckets on Wario's head, blinding him and causing him to spiral out of control. The plane is not mentioned by name, but considering the fight is a nod to ''Mario & Wario'' with the buckets and plane, it is very possible that it is the Bulldog.
