Penny's Song: Difference between revisions

{{rewrite-expand|include losing Japanese lyrics and translation, and the losing version of the theme}}

'''Penny's Song''' is a song that plays during [[List of WarioWare: Get It Together! microgames#Penny's Mix|Penny's Mix]] in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'' The song can also be heard in [[Penny]]'s gallery after unlocking at least one of her pieces of artwork (making her the only character in the game whose gallery has unique music). The song is heavily associated with Penny, and is the only song in the game with lyrics. If the player fails at a microgame in Penny's Mix, the music distorts while alternate lyrics corresponding to the failure replace the original lyrics, such as "With missteps on the way" as opposed to "With inventions she made", similarly to [[Tomorrow Hill|Falling Off Tomorrow Hill]] in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''. Due to this, the length of the timer in Penny's Mix depends on where the song is before the success or failure of a microgame, and the timer counts down to the beat of the music. Unlike other stages, the timer stays in beat with the song during the stage instead of ending more quickly after a microgame is won or lost (a long microgame is played every three rounds).

The instrumental for Penny's Song features a motif from [[Dr. Crygor (theme)|Dr. Crygor's theme]], similarly to the intro music for Penny's stage in ''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''.

 

If Penny's Mix is replayed in Story mode, the song loops every 15 rounds. Portions of the song are skipped after round 75 due to there being no further "[[Speed Up!]]"s beyond that point.

 

Arrangements of Penny's Song can also be heard in the introductory cutscene for Penny's Mix and Penny's portion of the staff credits.

 

There are two different language versions of the song featured in the game: the English version, performed by Cristina Lucía Jáuregui,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210928054843/https://twitter.com/CristinaLuciaJ1/status/1442727901154004994 Cristina Lucía Jáuregui].

On November 15, 2021, a Spanish version of Penny's Song was released on Nintendo's YouTube channel alongside the English version, making it the second ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' song with lyrics to have a version in a language other than English or Japanese (after [[18 x 13]]). However, the Spanish version of the song is not featured in-game, with the Spanish translation of the game using the English version of the song instead.

She's got her hair tied up in braids,<br>

and glasses perched up on her face.<br>

She is a small girl, takin' on a big world,<br>

with inventions she made!<br>

And though her plans may go awry,<br>

she's gonna get back up and try.<br>

Gonna be a shining star, she's going far, Penny!

She fills her days with pop songs and experiments,<br>

poring over sheet music and blueprints.<br>

Penny longs to become the best singer-scientist<br>

in the whole universe.

Trial and error, fused with ingenuity,<br>

Penny's a bundle of joyous positivity.<br>

Tinker, thinker, dreamer to the core.<br>

Singer, mechanic, she's all that and more.<br>

Here comes the spotlight,<br>

it's what you've been reaching for!

Not every song she sings will be in tune.<br>

But even when she aims for the high note,<br>

she will stand up proud, and sing out loud for you,<br>

'cause it's true...<br>

That's Penny through-and-through.<br>

fix up contraptions, old and new.<br>

This one's her favorite, here, you can try it!<br>

She made it for you!<br>

Whenever something falls apart,<br>

it's nothing Penny can't jump-start.<br>

Everything she fixes is a gift straight from the heart.

And every plan that goes all wrong,<br>

becomes a line in her life's song.<br>

She will try harder. She will sing louder.<br>

Now let's all sing along!<br>

All our mistakes from yesterday,<br>

become new smiles today!
