{{quote|Hello. Dr. Crygor here. An experiment in fun is now in progress.|Dr. Crygor|WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!}}
'''Dr. Crygor''' is an elderly mad scientist and {{wp|cyborg}} who performs quirky, yet harmless experiments and constructs various inventions at his [[Dr. Crygor's Lab|private island laboratory]] in [[Diamond City]]. Dr. Crygor is additionally one of [[WarioWare, Inc.]]'s original employees. As such, he appears in every [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'']] installment except ''[[WarioWare: Snapped!]]'' and ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]''. He is also often accompanied by his granddaughter, [[Penny]], and his two robots, [[Mike]] and [[Doris 1]]. 

As with the other ''WarioWare'' series characters, Dr. Crygor was designed by [[Ko Takeuchi]].<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/ds/dsi/4/2 Iwata Asks: Nintendo DSi: Big One-off Performance]</ref> His distinguishing attributes and traits include his red nose and angular V-shaped mustache, his cybernetic equipment and cryogenic suit, a rather stocky build, a frequent need to go to the bathroom, and high intelligence. Dr. Crygor's equipment consists of a metal helmet on his head, a visor with a glowing red eye, metal gloves, and metal boots. His name comes from the term "{{wp|cryogenics}}" and the name "Igor", likely in reference to {{wp|Igor (character)|the character from Universal's ''Frankenstein'' film series}}.
==History==
===Background===
The diary of Dr. Crygor at the Japanese website for ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' shares details of his everyday life. The diary revealed the events when he discovered [[9-Volt]]'s [[Fronk]], and researched [[Orbulon]]'s [[Oinker|UFO]]. When Dr. Crygor went to purchase materials for his research, his jetpack ran out of fuel. He had to pick up a taxi to take him to the port. From the port, he had to swim to the island where [[Dr. Crygor's Lab|his laboratory]] is located, almost drowning on the way. When he tried to dance flamenco, his leg cramped due to lack of exercise.<ref name="diary"/>

Dr. Crygor has done numerous researches, including the heating and cooling of gummies, the results of eating chewing gum and chocolate together (which he accomplished when he was ten years old, to his friends' disbelief), what a mixture of coffee and tea tastes like, and the growth of hair. He also concocted a drink that makes [[Wario]] extremely intelligent; however, after Wario defecated, the drink's effects wore off. When Wario came to his laboratory, demanding for a spaceship, Dr. Crygor agreed and built one all night. However, when he tested the spaceship with the other WarioWare employees, the time had warped three weeks forward. From his discovery, Dr. Crygor deemed his spaceship a time machine.<ref name="diary">Nintendo. [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/azwj/crygor/diary2.html Dr.クライゴアの『研究日誌』その２]. ''nintendo.co.jp''. Retrieved December 19, 2014.</ref>

Dr. Crygor reluctantly attended Wario's round-table discussion, after the latter threatened to destroy his laboratory.<ref name="diary"/> In the discussion, Dr. Crygor revealed that his microgames were inspired by his everyday life.<ref name=RoundTable>Nintendo. [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/azwj/9volt/zadankai.html 『メイド イン ワリオ スタッフスペシャル座談会』]. ''nintendo.co.jp''. Retrieved March 11, 2023.</ref>
*While developing [[Berry Berry Good]], he had difficulties recreating how the cake's surface crumbles if a strawberry lands on its edge.
*When he desired to go to a beer garden, he came up with [[Pod Pinch]].
*After he saw a monkey eating a banana, [[Banana Munch]] was created.
*[[Rough Puff]] was created when he wanted to eat a blowfish.
*When he ran out of vegetables, he developed [[Veg Out]]. However, he ate too many vegetables when making the microgame, so he had to frequently relieve himself in the bathroom.

Dr. Crygor's diary stops at that point. He explains in the last entry that he would continue to study his time machine seriously and that he wanted to immerse himself in his researches. However, Dr. Crygor could not do as such, since the WarioWare employees misunderstood him as a "handyman" rather than a scientist. He then considered making his lab off-limits as well.<ref name="diary"/>

===''WarioWare'' series===
====''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!''====
In the prologue sequence of ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', Dr. Crygor is shown with Orbulon as one of the friends that Wario enlists by phone to his "company", [[WarioWare, Inc.]], in order to create [[microgame]]s. He, like Wario's other friends in [[Diamond City]], accepts the invitation to the "company".

[[File:MicrogameCrygor.png|frame|left|Dr. Crygor feels the effects of the blue liquid]]
In his story, Dr. Crygor is in [[Dr. Crygor's Lab|his laboratory]], peering at a beaker filled with blue, effervescent liquid. He then dances around his lab, finishing off with a rose. Dr. Crygor then begins to sweat and reaches for a drink. He ends up grabbing the beaker. Upon drinking it, he suddenly comes down with stomach pains, then quickly runs for the restroom while shaking. Once finished, the toilet shoots an upward jet of water behind him, flooding his lab. The music played when this happens is the music that plays after a [[Switch (Wario Land 4)|switch]] is pressed in ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. Dr. Crygor attempts to swim away, but he is then sent rocketing into the sky. He tries to activate his jetpack, which fails, and he begins falling to the ground. Just as he is about to plummet, [[Don the Sparrow]] rescues Dr. Crygor and flies him to safety. After his stage is completed, Dr. Crygor can be seen with the rest of the WarioWare employees at the [[Gelateria]], where he air-swims across the building.

Dr. Crygor's microgames are themed after [[List of WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! microgames#Reality|Reality]]; thus, they feature photorealistic graphics. The instrumental that plays throughout his stage is [[Dr. Crygor (theme)|his theme]].

He also appears in the second half of the ending of Wario's second stage. While Wario is piloting his rocket, Dr. Crygor swims above the clouds. To both his and Wario's surprise, they collide with each other. The collision sends the rocket, the two, and the banknotes plunging to the sea near the harbor. In the roll credits featuring the ''WarioWare'' cast's names, voice clips of Dr. Crygor and the other WarioWare employees play off-screen. Once the credits finish, Dr. Crygor is shown being dragged by Wario as they paddle across the sea.

In the unlockable 2-player minigame [[VS Hurdle]], Dr. Crygor appears as the character of the second player. The player has to press {{Button|gba|R}} to make him jump over the hurdles. Dr. Crygor has to compete with Orbulon in a hurdle race, and he must earn three cups to win the minigame.

====''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!''====
[[File:WWMPG Dr Crygor Sleeping.png|thumb|Dr. Crygor sleeping on top of his toilet]]
In the movie "Toilet Commander" from ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'', Dr. Crygor is sleeping on his toilet in his lab, when a [[Oinker|UFO]] suddenly crashes right in front of him, causing him to blast into above his lab. When he falls back into his lab, Dr. Crygor encounters Orbulon, [[Dribble & Spitz|Dribble, and Spitz]], who greet him with "Hello! Hello!". After the scene irises out to just his legs, Dr. Crygor resumes his sleeping. In the next movie, "Yo-Ho Show Time", Dribble, Spitz, and Orbulon escort Dr. Crygor to [[Dribble's taxi]] and fly him out of his island.

Dr. Crygor appears as one of the ten playable characters in the game. As a playable character, his jumpsuit can be tinted in the player's color. He hosts the minigame [[Balloon Bang (WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!)|Balloon Bang]], whose graphics are photorealistically rendered. In the minigame, one player plays a microgame while the other players inflate a balloon by pressing {{button|gcn|A}} repeatedly until it pops, concluding the game. In another minigame, [[Outta My Way (multiplayer mode)|Outta My Way]], he is one of the heavier characters (as with Wario, [[Jimmy T|Jimmy T.]], [[Mona]], and Dribble). Thus, he covers more of the screen, but moves slowly. If he loses at a microgame in any of the minigames, he clutches his stomach.

He can also be seen along with the other WarioWare, Inc. employees at [[Restaurant Sora Sora]] during the cast roll movie named "Shiner Diner". The game's options menu features him using a [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] controller to control Jimmy T. inside a machine, which dispenses miniature versions of the characters. 

As with the previous game, ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!'' features Dr. Crygor's Reality microgames. The game also has a rearrangement of Dr. Crygor's Bathroom Jam, which plays when the player accesses his Character Intro or the menu for Balloon Bang.

}}
In the opening sequence of ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', Dr. Crygor is called upon by Wario to help repair his broken [[Game Boy Advance]]. Dr. Crygor throws the system into his invention, the [[Gravitator]], which spews out a bevy of smaller systems. Wario grabs one of the systems, only to discover that it lacks buttons. Dr. Crygor instructs him to try tilting the system, allowing Wario to pass one of his games easily. Mona and 9-Volt arrive at the lab, discovering the miniature systems. They both enjoy the tilt controls, inspiring Wario to make a new ''WarioWare'' game involving these controls for a huge profit.

[[File:CrygorTwisted.png|thumb|Dr. Crygor and his new robot, which emerged from the Gravitator]]
In his stage's story, Dr. Crygor excitedly dances inside his lab to celebrate the completion of his Gravitator. Suddenly, the machine spews out bubbles, which envelop Dr. Crygor and many of his possessions. After escaping the bubble, he claims to be a genius and immediately powers up the Gravitator. Suddenly, the Gravitator dispenses a giant robot, which he rides in. While flying, [[Shuriken the Falcon]] rams into the robot and causes it to fall apart, revealing Dr. Crygor riding on a four-wheeled duck. Dr. Crygor seems doomed to fall until Shuriken returns to rescue him and fly him to [[Club Sugar]].

Dr. Crygor's [[List of WarioWare: Twisted! microgames#Gravitator|microgame set]] is named after his latest invention, and involves rotating the Game Boy Advance to alter the gravity of the microgames. The theme played in the prologue for his stage is "[[Bright Idea Boogie]]", which can also be found as a souvenir in Records.

Later, Dr. Crygor continues to create more systems with his Gravitator. Unbeknownst to him, Wario is on the conveyor belt leading to the machine. He goes inside the machine, then emerges as [[Wario-Man]]. Wario-Man then goes back into the Gravitator to power up, but Dr. Crygor tries to warn him that it is "too powerful to be toyed with". Despite his warning, Wario-Man takes no notice and flies up into space, with the Gravitator transforming into a robot suit encasing him. Dr. Crygor is last seen fishing as Wario-Man (now Wario) lands in the sea next to his lab.

Dr. Crygor also appears in ''[[WarioWare Twisted Marble Maze Game]]'', where he can be seen on the Round 2 board.

The prologue movie of Dr. Crygor's stage in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' features him, in his lab, showing off his [[Tri-phonic Undulating Nanobot Automaton]], or TUNA, a machine capable of making objects younger than they are. Dr. Crygor tests his invention on an [[apple#WarioWare: Touched!|apple]] core, which is restored into an entire apple. He jumps into the compartment to see the apple, but it closes and traps him inside. The player has to spin the wheel of the TUNA to power it. When the TUNA's compartment opens, he emerges, younger and fitter and with a full helmet piece. In his epilogue movie, he notices his upgrades; then uses his jetpack to fly into outer space, approaching a group of [[Alien Bunny|Alien Bunnies]].

In the game, Dr. Crygor's microgame set is called Slightly Unscrewed and involves sliding the {{button|ds|Stylus}} in circular movements.

Subsequently, in [[Mike]]'s story, Dr. Crygor has finished building a karaoke robot named as such. When Mike becomes operational, Dr. Crygor asks him to do some cleaning around the lab, then departs. In the story's epilogue, Dr. Crygor realizes that Mike has disappeared. He rides [[Dribble's taxi|a taxi]] courtesy of Dribble & Spitz to find him on a planet inhabited by Alien Bunnies. When Dr. Crygor and Mike return to the lab, the former suggests that they should sing a duet. However, Mike is not impressed with his singing. After an argument, Mike leaves Dr. Crygor to go to the [[Hawt House]].

When Dr. Crygor's microgame set is completed, a colorable portrait of him is unlocked in the souvenir [[Wario Paint]]. The thumbnail icon used to choose it depicts Dr. Crygor's earlier design, but the line art depicts his design from this game instead.

In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', Dr. Crygor is shown to have a young granddaughter named [[Penny]]. The pre-intro cutscene of her stage has a cameo of Dr. Crygor: he is featured in a photograph, posing with a rose in his mouth. In Penny's stage, she and Dr. Crygor attend the Invent-Off competition at the [[Diamond Academy]]. They are put against each other to see who is the best inventor. Eventually, Penny produces her finished "masterpiece" (a tiny, Wario-themed motorbike), surprising and defeating Dr. Crygor. After defeating her grandfather, Penny sings to the cheering crowd. Dr. Crygor and Mike, dancing, accompany her while her motorbike rides around the wrestling ring.

After the player finishes the game's story mode, Dr. Crygor appears in his own stage. He emerges muscular and brawny from his new invention, the [[Kelorometer]]. It is capable of slimming down anything put into it. Dr. Crygor and Mike call the player, who is represented by a [[Mii]] wearing a red full-body suit. The Mii is then put inside the Kelorometer, starting the session. Dr. Crygor and Mike use stationary bicycles placed on top of conveyor belts to power the machine. After completing twenty microgames, the player's Mii is slimmed down based on their effort. The microgames featured in Dr. Crygor's stage are not his own, but are instead from the prior stages.

====''WarioWare: D.I.Y.''====
[[File:WDIYIntro 005.png|thumb|left|Dr. Crygor with his latest invention, the Super MakerMatic 21]]
Dr. Crygor makes a short appearance in the opening cutscene of ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' In his laboratory (referred to as "Crygor Labs" by the game), he plays video games on his [[Wii]], using a controller akin to the Classic Controller. Suddenly, the game's characters start swarming out of the TV screen to attack him. He wakes up in his bed, with his nightmare inspiring him to build the [[Super MakerMatic 21]], a machine that can instantly create microgames, records, and four-page black-and-white comics.

[[File:Dr Crygor Comic Stamp DIY.png|frame]]
Later, Dr. Crygor and Penny are busy producing more Super MakerMatic 21 machines, when Wario comes in with a broken television, asking him if he could repair it. Wario sees the new machines on the conveyor belt and asks what they are. Dr. Crygor explains the machines' functions to Wario, giving Wario some ideas on making money with his new invention.

Aside from his appearance in the introduction sequence, Dr. Crygor also appears as a black-and-white stamp in the [[Super MakerMatic 21#Comic MakerMatic|Comic MakerMatic]]. This game and ''[[WarioWare: Snapped!]]'' are the only games where Dr. Crygor does not have his own stage.
{{br}}

====''Game & Wario''====
[[File:WiiU Game&Wario Design 4.png|thumb|Dr. Crygor commenting on the two players' finished robots]]
In the opening cutscene of ''[[Game & Wario]]'', Dr. Crygor, Penny, and Mike notice a new game console resembling the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]] on the television.

Dr. Crygor hosts the [[Design]] minigame. In the minigame's prologue movie, he arises from his bed in his lab, only to suffer from a stomachache. He then goes to his bathroom and plops himself down on the toilet, only to find his bottom stuck inside it. To escape, he turns on a shower head fixed to the toilet's tank, which sends him through the drainpipe to an underground room. Dr. Crygor enters the room wearing a lab coat, with a rose between his teeth.

In Design, the player must draw accurate lines and shapes on the {{button|wiiu|GamePad}} to build a robot. Dr. Crygor instructs the player throughout the minigame and reviews the quality of the lines that they have made. After the player has drawn the lines and built their robot, Dr. Crygor makes a verdict on their efforts.

[[File:WiiU Game&Wario bowling 4.png|thumb|left|150px|A bowling ball approaching a series of Dr. Crygor pins]]
Like most of the WarioWare, Inc. staff, Dr. Crygor is also in the [[Bowling]] minigame. He is shown dancing with the ''WarioWare'' cast inside the bowling alley, in the minigame's intro sequence. In the minigame itself, he is an animated picture on a bowling pin, moving his eye sideways when idle. If the ball knocks him down, he makes a disoriented expression. Dr. Crygor is also featured as the subject in the eleventh [[Mona Superscoop]] capsule. In the scoop, Dr. Crygor hires Mona as his assistant robot designer. However, after her first day of work, he says that her attempt was "absolute garbage". On the end of her day, Mona remarks that Dr. Crygor is "really difficult to please".

As with the other WarioWare employees, Dr. Crygor appears in ''[[Game & Wario#Miiverse Sketch Masterpiece Collection|Miiverse Sketch Masterpiece Collection]]'', an online video series presenting commentaries on drawings of varying quality created in [[Sketch|Miiverse Sketch]]. He is the host of the eleventh video, themed after drawings of frogs.

{{Quote|Why must fungi grow in such spooky climates? I'm all g-goose pimply.|Dr. Crygor| WarioWare Gold}}
[[File:Crygor Mike Doris Gold.png|left|thumb|Dr. Crygor and Mike encountering Doris 1]]
Dr. Crygor returns in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' alongside the rest of the series cast. In the game's prologue, he is shown as one of the employees that Wario calls to explain his newest profit scheme.

He hosts the second set of the Twist League, which has Sports-themed microgames that use gyro input similarly to ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]''. In his story, Dr. Crygor and Mike are gathering fungi in [[Agate Forest]], a location that the former considers spooky. Mike approaches Dr. Crygor from behind and scares him. After Mike tells him there may be a ghost in the forest, Dr. Crygor criticizes Mike for trying to prank him. Another robot named [[Doris 1]] then approaches from behind and scares the two. Doris 1 recognizes Dr. Crygor as her creator who abandoned her, and proceeds to chase him. Later, Dr. Crygor takes in Doris 1 to his lab, out of generosity. Dr. Crygor then realizes that he dropped his fungi in the forest and asks Mike to return to retrieve them, but he refuses, causing him to panic.

Dr. Crygor also appears in Penny's stage. In [[Penny's Lab|her lab]], Penny tests the [[Tonally Transformative Elixir]] on Dr. Crygor. Despite its horrible taste, the elixir succeeds in pitching up his voice, but gives him extreme stomach pain. To cure this, Penny takes out her [[Super-Special Tummy Tonic]] to heal the pain in his stomach. Eventually, the pain is counteracted, and Dr. Crygor then asks when the elixir's effects will wear off, as Penny giggles nervously. His appearance in this stage makes him and 9-Volt the only microgame hosts (aside from Wario himself) to have dialogue in more than one stage outside the Ultra League.

During the Dancing Team set of the Ultra League, Dr. Crygor arrives with Mona, Jimmy T, Mike, Fronk, [[Young Cricket]], [[Master Mantis]], [[Kat & Ana]], and Penny to assist [[Joe (WarioWare series)|Joe]] in filling up his new nightclub, [[Club Joe]]. He unintentionally drives off almost everyone in the club with his dance moves. He is then seen dancing with the rest of the group after everyone comes back. In the epilogue of the game, Dr. Crygor and the rest of the WarioWare employees confront Wario, in order to persuade him to share his profits from the [[Wario Bowl]]. Wario tries to escape, only to be stopped by his employees. Dr. Crygor and Jimmy T agree to split the pay evenly, much to Wario's dismay.

[[File:Dr Crygor Posing WWG CharTrailer.jpg|thumb|150px|Dr. Crygor posing while wearing Penny's jacket]]
Dr. Crygor appears in the secret minigame [[Memory Match (WarioWare Gold)|Memory Match]] as a stylized portrait on a pair of square character cards. In the top screen, he, Wario, Jimmy T, Mona, and 9-Volt, are on a beach, wearing grass skirts layered over their outfits.

In his character trailer, Dr. Crygor and Penny, in their respective labs, both wake up via each other's [[Alarm Clock (souvenir)|alarm clock]]s and do their morning routines. Dr. Crygor transitions from his original outfit to his current appearance through his invention (with it putting two rose blooms on top of his head). At the end of his routine, Dr. Crygor wears Penny's jacket and flaunts it, much to the chagrin of Penny and Doris 1.<ref name=CharacterTrailer>Nintendo UK (November 8, 2018).

====''WarioWare: Get It Together!''====
{{quote|You see! I AM a genius!|Dr. Crygor|WarioWare: Get It Together!}}
Dr. Crygor appears in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]''. Notably, Dr. Crygor's design, excluding his swimwear, closely resembles his appearance from ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'' to ''WarioWare: Touched!''. In the game's story mode, he appears in the opening cutscene, welding an object. He, along with the rest of the WarioWare, Inc. employees, gets sucked into the game world due to Wario's actions. His stage is the [[List of WarioWare: Get It Together! microgames#High Tech|High Tech]] stage, which is available after Mona's That's Life stage is completed. In the pre-stage cutscene, Wario, Young Cricket, 18-Volt, and Mona notice Dr. Crygor in front of his stage entrance, who is distracted with his newfound ability, along with the corruption of his stage. After Wario gets Crygor's attention, Cricket explains the situation, causing Dr. Crygor to gain interest in the [[game bug]]s.

}}
In his story, Dr. Crygor is testing a new invention in his [[Dr. Crygor's Top Secret Factory|top secret factory]]: [[Flatterbot]]s. The robots successfully applaud [[Doris 1]]'s cleaning and Mike's singing, but do not react to Dr. Crygor's dancing. Deeming the test a failure, Dr. Crygor recalls the Flatterbots. After his stage is cleared, Dr. Crygor joins Wario's crew and reassures his status as a genius.

When Dr. Crygor and the rest of the crew encounter Mike at the mine cart for the Remix stage, Dr. Crygor states he will not let Mike out of his sight again and commands him to stay with the crew. In the pre-stage cutscene for Jimmy T's stage, Dr. Crygor finds the darkness of the area to be spooky. When Mike mocks him for being afraid, he reasons his intellect makes him immune to such fear. Once the area gets even darker, he shrieks. In the pre-stage cutscene for Ashley's stages, he comments on the quantity of the corruption in the area.

After beating Anything Goes, Dr. Crygor goes back to the real world alongside most of the other WarioWare, Inc. employees, and chases after Wario after it is revealed their predicament was caused by his poor programming. However, they soon remember other people were left behind in the game world, and they immediately return to rescue them. After completing the three towers and collecting the Golden Cracked Mug, Golden Beehive, and Golden Toilet Paper Roll, he calls his granddaughter Penny to assist Wario and company in combining the objects.

As a playable character, Dr. Crygor is able to fly, but his form of control is different from other flying characters. Pressing and holding {{button|switch|a}} makes him swim in the air and charge forward, and tilting {{button|switch|leftstick}} changes his direction. With his ability to ram into objects and free control over direction, Crygor excels in microgames where constant pressure is required (e.g. [[Don't Waste the Paste]]) and can easily use his ability to spin objects (e.g. [[Sanitation Station]], [[Wind-Up Pup]]). However, his ability is weak in moving objects with precision as solid objects bounce off and are barely affected by Crygor's attacks. A major example of this disadvantage is [[Basically Water Polo]], the only microgame considered a bad fit for him. Overall, Dr. Crygor has a fairly balanced amount of microgames that deem him an above-average or average fit (87 and 95 respectively).

His entrance animation consists of him diving into his inner tube and making a pose. When the player wins a microgame, Dr. Crygor dances and gyrates his hips. He sways his floating body, shocked, if the player loses at a microgame. If he gets KO'd, he loses his balance, with circling stars above his head.

====''WarioWare: Move It!''====
[[File:Dr._Crygor, Penny_and Mike%27s Cutscene in WWMI.png|thumb|left|Dr. Crygor, Penny and Mike deducing what the mysterious creature may be]]
Returning to his design from ''WarioWare Gold'', Dr. Crygor joins Wario  and the rest of the crew to [[Caresaway Island]] in ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]''. On the cruise ship, Crygor is seen with Penny looking worriedly at a seasick Mike.

Dr. Crygor's level, titled "A Curious Case of Cave Art", is shared by Penny and Mike. It utilizes the forms "Massage" and "Big Cheese". In the prologue, they explore the rock art of [[Underarm Jungle]], and discover art depicting a mysterious creature. Dr. Crygor believes that the drawing was inspired by an octopus. Dr. Crygor reveals his Time Obliterator 5.0, a stopwatch-like device, to transport them to the past in order to find out the source of the artwork. In the past, a caveman is seen engraving the art, using the creature as a reference. He discovers the three, and orders them to stand in order to draw them. In the epilogue, the caveman is finished and shows them the rock art, who are then amazed by it. Wario in the present-day notices the finished rock art of Dr. Crygor, Penny and Mike, confused.

[[File:WWMI Remix 1 cutscene experiment.jpg|thumb|Penny, Ashley and Dr. Crygor prepare to add in their ingredients]]
Dr. Crygor also appears in Remix 1, where he helps Ashley with making a potion inside a vacation home. When he, Ashley, and Penny put the final touches on the potion, it causes an explosion which detaches the home from its foundation. The home is transported into a waterfall, which spills him, Ashley, Red, Lulu, Orbulon, Mike, Mona, and Penny onto the top of a jeepney. After the stage is cleared, everyone exits the tour bus and find a statue of King Caresaway the First. The group looks in astonishment, but quickly changes to worry when their detached beach house falls and crushes the statue.

Dr. Crygor, along with the rest of the ''WarioWare'' cast appear in the final stage, "Lava at First Sight", where they all dance to defeat [[Volcano Wario]]. After Wario is launched from the volcano, the cast enjoys their vacation, while Wario is stuck inside a temple.

Dr. Crygor hosts the extra stage [[Megagame Muscles]], which is the successor to the [[Kelorometer]] mode. He is seen training under [[Mr. Sparkles]], and gains muscle at the end based on his performance.

[[File:Dr_Crygor_Yoshi_MadeInWario2005.png|thumb|left|Dr. Crygor demonstrating ''Niō Made in Wario'', a scent-focused game, to [[Yoshi]]]]
In the one-shot manga ''[[Made in Wario (manga)|Made in Wario]]'', Dr. Crygor first appears alongside Mona, both holding [[Nintendo DS]] systems as they rush to Wario's office. They present their games to [[Yoshi]] and [[Luigi]] for play-testing, respectively. While Mona shows Luigi a ''WarioWare'' game that makes snarky comments at the player, Dr. Crygor shows Yoshi a ''WarioWare'' game (''Niō Made in Wario'') with built-in microchips that dispense pleasant scents when the player wins at a microgame. If the player loses at a microgame, the game stinks of feces instead; Yoshi encounters a microgame loss and is knocked unconscious by the noxious smell emanating from the system.

Later, at ''Sakebu Made in Wario'', a game in the form of a rollercoaster, Dr. Crygor, Mona, Dribble, and Spitz witness Wario, Luigi, and Yoshi on a moving capsule-shaped ride. When Wario turns off the ride's power to dodge the mucus ball rolling towards him, Luigi, and Yoshi, the three are ejected from the capsule and are thrown into the goal signboard. Soon, Dr. Crygor, Mona, and Wario celebrate the success of the rollercoaster park.

===Other appearances===
====''Super Smash Bros.'' series====
Dr. Crygor appears as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', depicted in his artwork from ''WarioWare: Touched!''. When it is used in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]], it increases the fighter's arm- and leg-based attacks by two increments.

Dr. Crygor also appears as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' that uses his artwork from ''Game & Wario''. It can be obtained through purchasing in the Trophy Shop. When rotating the trophy to its backside, it depicts alternate art of him with a rose between his teeth, standing on one leg. Said art was drawn by [[Ko Takeuchi]], as with the other ''WarioWare'' trophies.<ref>[[Media:Ko takeuchi twitter qa.png|Ko Takeuchi's answer to a question on Twitter]]</ref> The trophy's description states "Rumor has it he's even working on a time machine.". This is a reference to "Dr. Crygor no Kenkyū Nisshi", located in the Japanese ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' website; which has a series of entries where Dr. Crygor writes down his progress on building a rocket that turned out to be a time machine.<ref name="diary" />

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Dr. Crygor appears as an Advanced-class [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|Spirit]] which depicts his ''WarioWare Gold'' appearance. When equipped on a fighter, it increases the strength of electric attacks. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], it is located on the Light Realm; outside, it can also be obtained from the Spirit Board. The spirit's corresponding battle sees the player facing against [[Dr. Mario]], Wario, and [[R.O.B.]] in [[WarioWare, Inc. (stage)|WarioWare, Inc.]], with [[Mike's Theme|Mike's Song]] playing in the background.
====''Nintendo Badge Arcade''====
[[File:Pr MdWario CharaCrygor 02.png|frame|left]]
Dr. Crygor appears as a badge in ''[[Nintendo Badge Arcade]]'' in the ''WarioWare'' panel, which features the series cast. The badge uses his ''Game & Wario'' artwork from the opening cutscene of [[Design]] when he is stuck in his toilet, though the toilet itself is not depicted in the badge.

Dr. Crygor features in the Wario... Where? [[rhythmheaven:Challenge Land|Challenge Trains]] of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', keeping his appearance from ''Game & Wario'' like other ''WarioWare'' characters. He appears in the background alongside Penny in the version of [[rhythmheaven:Fillbots 2|Fillbots 2]] found in "Wario... Where?", which has Mike having the role of the ROBO M model [[rhythmheaven:Robots (Fillbots)|robots]] being filled with liquid.

He also appears in the version of [[rhythmheaven:Freeze Frame|Freeze Frame]] found in "Wario... Where? 2: The Sequel". In it, Dr. Crygor takes on the role of [[rhythmheaven:T.J. Snapper|T.J. Snapper]] as the playable character. At the Rhythm Kart race track, he has to take photos of [[Tiny Wario]]s in cars and Dribble & Spitz in their taxi, as they pass by him.

Dr. Crygor is given only two lives, so he cannot miss more than once. Whenever Dr. Crygor successfully gets a shot of a vehicle at the exact moment it passes by, he smiles, with his eye dilating. If he times his shot earlier or later, he tilts his head to one side, with a single tear rolling from his visor. However, if Dr. Crygor fails to take photos of any of the moving vehicles, he bursts into tears, costing a life.

====''Tetris 99''====
From September 17th to September 21st, 2021, ''[[Tetris 99]]'' ran the 24th Maximus Cup which featured a ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'' theme, where Dr. Crygor appears in the background.

}}
Dr. Crygor is a cyborg, with his parts being a metal helmet on his head, a visor, and metal gloves and boots. He is bald, and has an elongated, fair-skinned face with a flat chin, a large and round red (pinkish-red in some cases) nose, a pointy and thin brown mustache of a similar style to [[Waluigi]]'s, and defined lips. Dr. Crygor has a plump build; his body is hunchbacked, and has a protruding stomach and pronounced posterior. In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' and later installments, he is redesigned to look more elderly; he is given wrinkles around his mouth, a shorter face with a flatter chin, and a skinny build. He is also noticeably smaller in said games, being only as tall as [[Ashley]]. One of his [[List of souvenirs in WarioWare Gold#Cards|character cards]] from ''WarioWare Gold'' states his age as being "over 100 years old".

Unlike most ''WarioWare'' characters, Dr. Crygor's outfit varies in between games, similarly to [[Mona]]. In most of his appearances, he wears a green oval-shaped visor with a black screen that has one glowing red dot for an eye, obscuring his normal eyes; and a yellow full-body cryogenic jumpsuit with a narrow stripe. In earlier games, his eye is normally situated on the right side of his visor; after those games, his eye is shown usually centered. His metal helmet, which covers the upper half of his head, is studded and has ear coverings which resemble headphones. The prologue to ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' shows that he uses an antenna hidden inside his right ear covering when calling Wario. Both of his gloves have jointed fingers, and on the middle of each forearm, an orange dome.

In installments before ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', and in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', Dr. Crygor has a blue color scheme. His metal helmet piece only covers the right side of his head, exposing his scalp. Only his left arm and right leg are covered by metal implements. He also wears this outfit when retiring into bed, as shown in his and Penny's character trailer in ''WarioWare Gold''.<ref name=CharacterTrailer /> In ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'', his visor is bigger, and the previously-exposed opposite limbs are covered with a yellow rubber glove and a yellow boot. Due to his design being simplified, his single glove in that game completely lacks joints. The blue jetpack he carries on his back has a design which is mostly oval, with a green dome on the front.

After Dr. Crygor's [[Tri-phonic Undulating Nanobot Automaton|TUNA]] upgrade in ''WarioWare: Touched!'', the left side of his head is also covered with another metal helmet piece. He has his gloves and boots on both of his arms and legs. He also gains a red, if not pink, color scheme. His jetpack this time is mostly metal rods with spheres on each tip, and has red accents. Dr. Crygor's red outfit is kept in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', mostly in Penny's stage, until the [[Kelorometer]] stage, when he is upgraded further, gaining a muscular build. His suit in the latter stage is yellow with gray accents, and has a blue cloak. He has pointed ear coverings, and has his mask cover the majority of his head except his nose and mouth. ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' gives Dr. Crygor a unique design with a gray color scheme. He also has a tapering green stripe in between his visor and metal helmet, which has a yellow round antenna on top. However, he no longer carries his jetpack, starting from this game to so on.

In ''[[Game & Wario]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', Dr. Crygor wears a black jumpsuit, layered with a white lab coat. He has a bigger and arched visor which overlaps with his nose. He has grayish-blue accents on his metal helmet and gloves. He is rendered in a more realistic art style in [[Design]]'s title screen; his visor has a red screen, and he has a less angular mustache. In the latter game's [[rhythmheaven:Freeze Frame|Freeze Frame]] variation, Dr. Crygor does not wear his lab coat. ''WarioWare Gold'' keeps his metal helmet, visor, and gloves from ''Game & Wario''. In that game, he wears a white shorts jumpsuit with a wide gray stripe, and grayish-blue boots. His ear coverings are also simplified, with each one having one segment instead of two. In art for ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'', which retains his ''Gold'' design, Dr. Crygor's vacation attire features short sleeves on his white jumpsuit; this is the first game in the series to feature him wearing such sleeves.

''WarioWare: Get It Together!'' adds a green polka-dot inner tube and similarly-colored flippers to his original outfit as his swimwear. Like Design's title screen, Dr. Crygor is depicted realistically (albeit somewhat stylized) in the title screen for the minigame [[Frenemy Frenzy]], as with most of the ''WarioWare'' cast.

===Personality and traits===
[[File:DrCrygorTrophyWiiU_alt.png|thumb|125px|left|Dr. Crygor is often shown holding a rose when dancing.]]
Being a mad scientist, Dr. Crygor has an eccentric, curious disposition and is intelligent; thus, he can immediately come up with creative ideas. He is also convinced about his skills and has a large ego; after he builds and finishes one of his inventions, he presents it boastfully. According to Mona in one of her [[Mona Superscoop|Superscoops]], he is difficult to be pleased, and takes priority in the quality of his inventions. In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', Dr. Crygor dismisses the quality of the microgames of other WarioWare employees as being unrealistic, compared to his photorealistic microgames. Despite his critical judgment, he is interested in hiring the player as assistant, as shown in his profile page in the Japanese website for ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'', and in the completion screen for [[Design]] in ''[[Game & Wario]]''.<ref name=Profile>Nintendo. [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/azwj/crygor/profile.html Dr.クライゴアの『自己研究報告書』]. ''nintendo.co.jp''. Retrieved March 27, 2018.</ref> Dr. Crygor's Rank B character card in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' reveals that he has built many inventions for the WarioWare employees. He frequently uses complex and science-related words in his speech; this is best demonstrated in the descriptions for his microgames in ''WarioWare Gold'' and ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]''.

[[File:WWGIT Gallery Dr Crygor 5.png|thumb|Dr. Crygor sitting on a toilet while being surrounded by roses]]
Despite having high intelligence, Dr. Crygor is also easily frightened. The opening sequence for ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' begins with him having a nightmare wherein video game characters close in on him from his TV, much to his surprise. In ''WarioWare Gold'', he screams whenever something approaches him from behind. When [[Doris 1]] lashes out at him for abandoning her in [[Agate Forest]], he runs away from her in extreme fear as she chases him. As pointed out by his robot [[Mike]] in ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'', he is scared of the dark. Dr. Crygor initially denies the fear, but when Jimmy T's stage becomes dark, he screams, terrified. Mike then mocks Dr. Crygor, calling him a "scaredy-cat".

Another interest of Dr. Crygor, aside from science, is his romance; when shown dancing or celebrating, he either produces a single rose or is surrounded by roses. As shown in ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'', Dr. Crygor loves the Rose [[Prezzy]] as well as liking the Wedding Dress, indicating this trait. His Rank A character card in ''Gold'' claims that he was a "dashing romantic" when he was a young man. In ''Game & Wario'', his character card mentions that he is interested in celebrity gossip. The card also states that he is taking flamenco dance lessons. His dance movements are fluid and involve limb contortion; but they repel people away, as demonstrated when he dances in [[Club Joe]], and when his [[Flatterbot]]s in his [[Dr. Crygor's Top Secret Factory|secret factory]] fail to laud his dance moves. He is also terrible in singing; when challenging Mike to a duet in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', the latter comments on the former's singing as "99.78% awful".

Toilets are associated with Dr. Crygor, as shown by the toilet paper motifs seen in some ''WarioWare'' games. Even the entrance to Dr. Crygor's underground lab is a toilet, as depicted in ''Game & Wario''. In ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'', he also greatly appreciates the Toilet Paper, Super-Fancy Toilet, and Golden Toilet Prezzies, furthering this preference. When hit with stomach pains, Dr. Crygor immediately goes to his lab's restroom in order to relieve himself of them. So far, the only voluntary cause of his stomach illnesses is the chemicals mixed in the fluids that he consumes, such as the [[Tonally Transformative Elixir]], or the blue liquid in ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!''.

===Voice===
From ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' to ''[[Game & Wario]]'', Dr. Crygor was voiced by Tim O'Leary.<ref name=OLeary /> His voice in these games is of a deep baritone, and is also robotic and filtered. This voice was tweaked for ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', where it has less filter applied. In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' and later titles, Dr. Crygor is given a new voice, which was provided by [[Kyle Hebert]].<ref name=Hebert /> Instead of a deep pitch, Dr. Crygor's next voice is of higher pitch, has a nasal quality, and is more comical. His appearance in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'' has Kyle Hebert portray Dr. Crygor's voice more subtly. However, in the Japanese versions of said games, his voice, provided by Kensuke Matsui, has a pitch which is closer to his prior voice.

===Powers and abilities===
[[File:Dr. Crygor Swimming WWMM.gif|right|frame]]
Dr. Crygor has the ability to swim in mid-air as demonstrated in the ending cutscene of ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'' when he swims in the sky and inadvertently hits Wario's rocket. In ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'', air-swimming is shown as his main ability. Despite having a jetpack, it sometimes fails on him. The epilogue for his story in ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'' shows his jetpack failing to work, making him fall down. However, in ''WarioWare: Touched!'' after Dr. Crygor has been upgraded, he can use his improved jetpack to soar into outer space.

===Relationships===
[[File:WWSM Blog Penny 1.jpg|thumb|left|Dr. Crygor hanging out with [[Penny]] on the beach, as shown on the latter's first blog post in the ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves|Odoru Made in Wario]]'' website]]
[[Wario]], Dr. Crygor's employer, always relies on the latter whenever he needs to get one of his possessions repaired. When Wario accidentally destroys his Game Boy Advance in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', he went to [[Dr. Crygor's Lab|his lab]] so that he can get it fixed. After the system went through the [[Gravitator]], Dr. Crygor even teaches him how to use one of the resulting buttonless systems. In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'', Wario went again to the lab to have his television repaired. However, Dr. Crygor is also responsible for causing the demise of Wario's getaway rocket in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', despite the other employees failing to stop the latter. Wario is shown annoyed as Dr. Crygor paddles him to the coast.

Despite being a creation of Dr. Crygor, [[Mike]] shows contempt for the former. He is shown to criticize Dr. Crygor's singing in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', even leaving him after an argument. In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', Mike makes dry comments to Dr. Crygor when the latter tells him that he is worried about him. He even falls for Mike's claim that [[Agate Forest]] has "paranormal frequencies". Later, when Dr. Crygor enlists Mike to return to the forest and retrieve the mushrooms which he had left, he refuses. In Dr. Crygor's character trailer, Mike shows no reaction when the former poses wearing a pink jacket; unlike Penny and [[Doris 1]].

[[Penny]] is Dr. Crygor's granddaughter. Her blog from the Japanese website for ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'' reveals that Dr. Crygor has a bad reputation, being called names such as "abnormal" and "weirdo". Despite being a target of ridicule, he is still loved dearly by Penny for his intelligence.<ref name=PennyBlog>Nintendo. [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/rodj/blog/penny/index.html おどる メイド イン ワリオ]. ''nintendo.co.jp''. Retrieved March 26, 2023.</ref> In turn, Dr. Crygor has great affection for his granddaughter, and is often seen helping Penny test out her inventions. He even submits to Penny when she defeats him in the Invent-Off. In ''WarioWare Gold'', he reluctantly states that he supports her ambition of being a famous singer, regardless of how her experiments turn out. His character trailer from ''WarioWare Gold'' reveals that he and Penny share identical morning routines.<ref name=CharacterTrailer /> Dr. Crygor is also overprotective of Penny; as shown in [[:File:WWGIT Gallery Dr Crygor 4.png|one of his character artworks]] in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', he was chasing her when she was still a baby.
