==Jingle==
|greater_location=[[Diamond City]]
Mona's stage in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' features a commercial for Mona Pizza, complete with a long advertising jingle. This jingle is sung almost completely by [[Sal Out]], with interludes of "Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum!", as well as various comments (some of which were in Italian) from the manager Joe.

A subtitled version of the jingle (complete with a picture slideshow featuring limited animation) is unlockable in the form of a secret "Mona Pizza" souvenir in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]''; this souvenir can only be unlocked by playing ''WarioWare: Touched!'' with ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' in the [[Nintendo DS]]'s [[Game Boy Advance]] slot. An excerpt of the song appears in the second stage of the microgame [[Castanet, First Chair]] in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. An arranged version of the song also appears in both English - in an edited version - and Japanese in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', under the name "Mona Pizza's Song." (Japanese: こちら☆モナピザ ''Kochira Mona Piza'') ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'' has a record called "Mona ★ Pizza," made by [[18-Volt]]. In the English version, Sal Out's vocals are provided by [[Christina Peyser]], who is [[Ashley and Red|Ashley]]'s voice actress in the ''WarioWare'' series, while the Pizza Dinosaur employees' vocals are done by [[Nate Bihldorff]] and Andy Hartpence. The jingle is also one of the tracks featured in ''[[Donkey Konga 3: Tabehōdai! Haru Mogitate 50 Kyoku]]''.

*Because ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' was not released in China, the "Mona Pizza" souvenir in the Chinese version of ''WarioWare: Touched!'' can only be unlocked with Chinese version of ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'', and the song is in English, with Chinese subtitles. However, there are no localized GBA games released in South Korea, so it may be impossible to unlock this souvenir in the Korean version of ''WarioWare: Touched!'' in a regular way.{{ref needed}}
