—Penny, WarioWare: Smooth Moves

History

WarioWare series

WarioWare: Smooth Moves

File:WWSM GW Audience.jpg

In WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Penny enters a competition called the "Invent-Off" at the Diamond Academy and is put against her grandfather to see who is the best inventor. After what appeared to be a mental fight between the two, Penny pulls out her winning invention (a motorcycle) out of thin air which, for some reason, knocks Dr. Crygor down. Penny then takes one of Mike's head-mounted microphones and decided to sing a song to the cheering crowd.

Later, Penny sends her motorcycle to Wario. Wario is then sucked inside the motorcycle while using it, and is turned into Tiny Wario.

The Japanese Smooth Moves website features a blog section for the WarioWare developers. In her blog entry, Penny posts a photo of her going to the beach wih Dr. Crygor and states she loves her grandfather dearly despite his reputation as a "creep" and a "weirdo". In the comments, Penny responds to a comment left by Ashley explaining her bodysuit was created by her grandfather and can adjust itself to any temperature.

WarioWare: D.I.Y.

In WarioWare: D.I.Y., Penny helps the player and Wario create microgames. As such, she leads the game's tutorials. During the tutorial, she is paired up with Wario who serves as her student as well as the player. She frequently makes sarcastic quips toward Wario's intelligence and patience, though she is quick to apologize when Wario gets offended.

Game & Wario

In Game & Wario, Penny appears as the host of the multiplayer minigame Fruit, where she gives tips to the "agent" player and reacts to set pieces (such as reactivating the lights when they're turned off).

Like most of the other WarioWare developers, Penny is in the Bowling minigame depicted as a pin.

As with the other WarioWare characters, Penny makes an appearance in Miiverse Sketch Masterpiece Collection, a series of video showcasing pictures of often questionable quality made in the game's Miiverse Sketch mode. Penny's video is themed after drawings of Prince Shōtoku, an important ruler in Japanese history.

WarioWare Gold

Penny telling her grandfather of her plans to become a pop-star.

With Wario asking for her assistance, Penny appears as the final host of the Twist League in WarioWare Gold. In her story, she develops a potion she calls the Tonally Transformative Elixir, which she hopes will give her the voice she needs to become a famous singer. She uses Dr. Crygor as a test subject, but all that occurs is a slight increase in pitch in his voice and a major stomachache. She then makes an elixir to combat the stomachache, which succeeds, but it is implied the effects of the Tonally Transformative Elixir will not wear off any time soon. Later, during the Dancing Team set of the Ultra League, she arrives with Mona, Jimmy T., Mike, Fronk, Young Cricket and Master Mantis, Kat and Ana, and Dr. Crygor to assist Manager Joe in filling up his new nightclub, Club Joe. After Dr. Crygor and Master Mantis, albeit unintentionally, drive off almost everyone in the club with their dance moves, Penny decides that the thing that really draws people in is music, and proceeds to sing very angelically, which almost instantly fills the nightclub up. She later joins in the party, no doubt continuing to sing. At the very end, she along with all of Wario's friends, split the money Wario gained from the Wario Bowl tournament, much to Wario's own dismay.

Appearance

Penny is a young girl with red-orange hair and fair skin. Her hairstyle consists of two braids with two long strands on the top with a bang swept to the left and a heart accessory at the right, blush cheeks, and she wears round glasses.

In WarioWare: Smooth Moves, she wears a completely zipped pink dress-like lab coat with a collar and a red trim at the bottom with slightly puffy sleeves, black puffy pants, and pink boots. She also has brown eyes.

In WarioWare Gold, her appearance remains the same with a few differences. Her eyes are now blue, her bang is thicker, the heart-shaped pockets on her lab coat are pink, her heart headpiece is bigger, she doesn't reatain her gloves, and the pink color of her outfit is lighter. In a fantasy, she wears a pink short-sleeved dress with a long magenta ribbon at the neck with a matching pair of magenta headphones with pink stars, and pink flat shoes.
