Dog

Chain Chomps act very similar to dogs and were even inspired by a real life experience of Shigeru Miyamoto that involved a dog.[1] In the Club Nintendo comic "Rummelplatzquatsch", a pack of dogs urinate at Luigi. In WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$, dogs appear in the microgames Shake!, Go Fer the Tater and Disc O'Dog. In WarioWare: Touched!, Pet Petter microgame features a dog. In WarioWare: Smooth Moves, many dogs were seen entering Club Spice alongside Jimmy P.
