====Background====
Very little is known about Orbulon’s past, except for the fact that his [[Oinker]] was a gift given to him by [[Papa Orb|his father]]. Not much is also known about his species or home planet; however, in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', in his Spindex description, he states that on his home planet, time moves at half the speed it does on earth. In ''[[Game & Wario]]'', upon calling the Otherworldly Call Code, the player can call a young alien, whose nightstand has a photo of them with another alien that bears a strong resemblance to Orbulon, except they are purple. Whether or not this alien is Orbulon's kind is unknown. Additionally, the Ancient Deity in ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'' also bears a strong resemblance to Orbulon, though it is also unknown if the two are related.

At the end of Wario's second story, Orbulon briefly appears with the other employees to demand their pay. When Wario runs away, he is shocked.
For ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'', Orbulon created microgames of the [[IQ]] genre. As its name implies, Orbulon's games require more thinking than the other developers' games. Because of that, they are twice as long as the other microgames.


In the unlockable dual-player mini-game "[[VS Hurdle]]", Orbulon appears as the character of the player who has to use the {{Button|gba|L}} button and has to reach the finish in a hurdle race before Dr. Crygor, the other player's character.

Orbulon hosts the multiplayer mode [[All For One]]. He is also one of the ten selectable characters in multiplayer games. He is one of the small characters, meaning that he moves fast and leaves afterimages over the screen in [[Outta My Way (multiplayer mode)|Outta My Way]] and [[Survival Fever]]. His shoes and cape are tinted in the player's color.

In [[Wario-Man]]'s story, Orbulon gives [[Mona]], [[Kat & Ana|Kat, Ana]], [[9-Volt]], and [[18-Volt]] a flight in his spaceship. All five humans sit on seats behind Orbulon. This time, he steers a slightly differently shaped yellow UFO. During their journey, the occupants notice an unknown being in space wearing a purple mecha suit. It is Wario who has accidentally transformed into Wario-Man and gained a mecha suit because of Dr. Crygor's [[Gravitator]]. However, Orbulon does recognize Wario and so the UFO attacks the presumed enemy and destroys Wario-Man's mecha suit. After the suit is removed, Orbulon and the others seem to identify Wario, who falls into the sea near Dr. Crygor's Lab.

In ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', Orbulon's microgames continue to last longer than other developers' games and require more thinking again. In this game, his set of microgames is called [[List of microgames in WarioWare: Twisted!#Time Warp|Time Warp]] and the player has to use all kinds of spinning techniques.


In the mini-game [[Batting Practice]], Orbulon briefly shows up in his UFO when the player manages to score five home runs. Like the other WarioWare developers, there are [[List of WarioWare: Twisted! souvenirs|souvenirs]] related to Orbulon, namely a [[Fan (souvenirs)#Orbulon Fan|fan]], a [[Figurines (WarioWare: Twisted!)#Orbulon|figurine]], and a [[Lightwand#Orbulon Lightwand|lightwand]].

In the character selection screen, Orbulon appears in his Oinker, despite not having a stage. His purpose is to store newly obtained souvenirs in his spaceship until the player taps it with the Stylus. Souvenirs that are not stored in the Toy Room also appear in the Oinker again when the player starts the game.

Souvenirs that are not stored in the Toy Room also appear in the Oinker again when the player starts the game.
In ''WarioWare: Touched!'', other developers have double-length microgames, which means that the trait is no longer exclusive to Orbulon. This also applies to all later WarioWare games.

During his story, Orbulon travels through outer space with the Oinker. Suddenly, it is hit by the [[Balance Stone]], causing it to crash-land into the [[Temple of Form]]. Orbulon gets thrown out of the Oinker and bounces and slides on the ground inside of the temple. The object falls into the temple as well, hitting Orbulon's head and bouncing forward. He looks forward and sees the [[Form Baton]] and Balance Stone glowing. He picks up the artifacts and holds both in his hands. This causes the Temple of Form to rise from the ground. He begins to panic until he sees writing that explains how to use the Form Baton and Balance Stone. After raising the temple into space, Orbulon claims that the "spaceship" now belongs to him. Many Splunks quickly surround him and demand him to give back the Form Baton. During this, the Temple of Form falls towards its original location. Once it returns, the Oinker with Orbulon inside is launched away.

In ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' Orbulon hosts [[List of microgames in WarioWare: Smooth Moves#The Secret of the Balance Stone|a set of microgames]] again. This time, his microgames involve The Diner form, meaning that the player has to use both the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] (Form Baton) and the [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]] (Balance Stone).

Orbulon, along with [[Mona]], [[Jimmy T|Jimmy T.]], 9-Volt, and Ashley, leave Wario in favor of developing games for [[Diamond Software]] in ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]''. In his stage, the Oinker gets hit by lightning again, which causes him to be popped out and fall on a rocket shortly before it launches, taking Orbulon with it high into the air. During his intermissions, a news reporter wonders what is in the rocket ship, closing up on Orbulon as he screams from within the rocket.

In his stage's ending cutscene, Orbulon begins to remember the time he spent with his Oinker, and finally gets his memories back. He apologizes to the Oinker and they go to hug each other before Orbulon slips a banana peel, landing flat on his face and losing his memories once again.

==Microgames==
Orbulon comes with his own set of microgames in most games of the ''WarioWare'' series.
For ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'', Orbulon created microgames of the [[IQ]] genre. As its name implies, Orbulon's games require more thinking than the other developers' games. Because of that, they are twice as long as the other microgames. ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!'' does also feature Orbulon's IQ microgames, plus a multiplayer game made by him, [[All For One]]. Unlike the other multiplayer modes, players have to team up rather than playing against each other in this mode.
In ''WarioWare: Twisted!'', Orbulon's microgames continue to last longer than other developers' games and require more thinking again. In this game, his set of microgames is called [[List of microgames in WarioWare: Twisted!#Time Warp|Time Warp]] and the player has to use all kinds of spinning techniques.
In ''WarioWare: Touched!'', Orbulon does not offer a set of microgames. Various microgames of other developers last twice the amount of time and partly also require more thinking, making Orbulon's special role for microgames in previous installments obsolete. The same goes for ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''.
However, in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' Orbulon hosts [[List of microgames in WarioWare: Smooth Moves#The Secret of the Balance Stone|a set of microgames]] again. This time, his microgames involve The Diner form, meaning that the player has to use both the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] (Form Baton) and the [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]] (Balance Stone).
In ''WarioWare: D.I.Y.'', Orbulon returns to his original role and hosts a new set of IQ microgames again.
In ''WarioWare Gold'', Orbulon is a part of the Touch League, having Fantasy-themed games.
In ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'', Orbulon hosts the Culture-themed microgames.
In ''WarioWare: Move It!'', Orbulon hosts a [[List of WarioWare: Move It! microgames#Sweet Dreams, Sweeter Fruit|new set of microgames]] that primarily use the Lifter, Gift Giver, and Ba-KAW forms.

In every game in the series before ''WarioWare Gold'', Orbulon is a tall, skinny, and white alien wearing black glasses with two shines on the left lens. He has a long antennae on his head. He wears a long, black cape that is fastened around his neck with a red medallion. He wears white boots that have spikes on the bottom. His mouth is cat-shaped and his tongue is blue.

Orbulon faced a redesign going into ''Gold''. He is significantly smaller, and his antennae bends a little bit to the right. He is also very plump. His red medallion has been changed to a golden one, and he no longer wears his boots, revealing his small feet. Another big change is that his [[Oinker]] has also been shrunk, and he sits in it almost everywhere he goes.

Another big change is that his [[Oinker]] has also been shrunk, and he sits in it almost everywhere he goes.


Orbulon has two different human disguises that he has shapeshifted into in order to get rides from [[Dribble & Spitz]] that are seen in ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!'', and his character trailer for ''WarioWare Gold''. In his ''Mega Party Game$!'' disguise, he wears short red hair, black sunglasses, and a black tank top. In his character trailer disguise, he has short, light orange hair with the same glasses he wears in his natural form, white gloves, a white dress with a collar held by his gold medallion, and tall white boots. He also carries a grey briefcase. This same disguise is also shown in one of his unlockable artwork in ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'', where it has small, white pearl earrings, which do not seem to appear in the character trailer.
