'''Penny's Song'''<ref>Nintendo. (November 15, 2021). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv-9tXSNBHc WarioWare: Get It Together! - Penny’s Song (English Version) - Nintendo Switch]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved November 15, 2021.</ref> is a song that plays during Penny's Mix in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]''. It is heavily associated with [[Penny]] herself, and is the only song in the game with lyrics. The song can also be heard in Penny's gallery after unlocking at least one of her pieces of artwork. 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]]''. The length of the timer, when playing 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 soon after a microgame is won or lost (a long microgame is played every three rounds).
'''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).


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