- —Lulu, WarioWare Gold
Lulu is a character introduced in WarioWare Gold. She is the self-proclaimed hero of Luxeville. After Wario steals Luxeville's golden pot, Lulu travels to Diamond City to get the pot back. She is often seen carrying the Hydrocannon LX and occasionally accompanied by Ruffington. Lulu makes various appearances in cutscenes and assists the player in the final stage against Wario Deluxe. She can also clear Wario Deluxe's obstacles in the game mode Wario Interrupts. She reappears in WarioWare: Get It Together!, now as an employee of WarioWare, Inc.
History
WarioWare Gold
After Wario steals the golden pot from Luxeville, Lulu can be seen trying to challenge Wario from the crowd in the Diamond City Stadium. Wario brushes her aside and continues his speech, and Lulu runs off to train. After every second, sixth, and tenth microgame set is cleared, Lulu can be seen preparing for her confrontation with Wario, but often gets distracted. She also appears in the epilogue cutscene of Young Cricket & Master Mantis' story.
In the final stage of the game, Wario uses the Pot of Luxeville as his crown and becomes Wario Deluxe. After a certain amount of microgames, Wario starts to cheat and hide the control scheme hints of the next microgame. Lulu then launches herself onto Wario and starts distracting him, so the control scheme hints return. After the Boss Stage is beaten, Lulu reclaims the Pot of Luxeville from Wario by squirting it off him with the Hydrocannon LX. She then reveals to Wario that the pot is actually used in Luxeville as a chamber pot. After the announcement, Wario gladly gives the pot back to Lulu, who then returns to Luxeville.
After returning to Luxeville with the pot in tow, Pops reveals to Lulu that the village recently installed a modern toilet, making Lulu's efforts in getting the potty back all for naught.
In Wario Interrupts, she can be summoned to distract Wario for the next three microgames, preventing any of his distractions from happening. To summon her, a small gauge in the corner must be filled up by completing microgames. After Wario throws her off, the gauge resets.
In her character trailer, she receives a camera from Pops and flies around using a balloon to take pictures of all the main cast. During her descent to meet Young Cricket & Master Mantis, she pops the balloon of a Template:Wikia from Balloon Fight. She ends by taking a selfie with Wario, who is sleeping, and pinning the photos on his wall.
WarioWare: Get It Together!
Lulu appears in WarioWare: Get It Together!, now employed at WarioWare, Inc. despite retaining her disdain for her new employer. However, her disdain is offset by her still-enduring crush on Cricket (referencing her appearance in his story in WarioWare Gold). In the game's story mode, she appears in the opening cutscene, eating food alongside Kat & Ana. She, along with the rest of the WarioWare, Inc. employees, gets sucked in the game world due to Wario's actions.
Lulu appears in the intro of Jimmy T's stage where she does an aerobics performance with him, Young Cricket, Master Mantis, and Joe.
Lulu appears in the post-game story where she is trapped in a cage in the Thrill Ride tower. When Wario and co. reach the tower, they free Lulu and she joins the rest of the employees chasing down the mysterious creature who initially kidnapped her. In the pre-stage cutscene for Showdown, as the gang are climbing the beanstalk, the mysterious creature flies past them, with Lulu recognizing it. Upon clearing the Showdown stage, it is revealed that the creature was Pyoro, and Lulu is curious to why he entered their game.
As a playable character, Lulu is controlled with 
moving her left and right. Pressing 
makes her hover upwards, and she can hover multiple times to reach higher areas. With this ability, she excels in applying pressure to objects (e.g. Stop the Stopper and So Kneady, the 2 microgames that deem her a good fit). Lulu is slow when descending, but holding down on makes her perform a ground pound, instantly dropping down to the ground or solid footing. This allows the player to drop Lulu to the ground with accuracy (e.g. Choo-Choo Choose). However, her horizontal movement is notably much slower than most characters, and while she moves much faster in the air, her movement is only slightly slower than flying characters. As a result, she is effective in moving objects vertically, but not horizontally (e.g. Slime Time, the only microgame considered a bad fit). Lulu has 131 microgames that deem her an average fit, and 51 and 27 games (respectively) that deem her a below-average and above-average fit.
