- —18-Volt, WarioWare: Twisted!
18-Volt is a major human character in the WarioWare series. He is a very good friend of 9-Volt and shares the love in video games with him. 18-Volt first appeared in WarioWare: Twisted! where he became a new student at Diamond Elementary. He appears to be an older teenager, which is comical since he is an Elementary student and hypothetically Elementary school aged. It may also mean that he is indeed a teenager, but was held back so many times that he never passed kindergarten.
History
WarioWare series
WarioWare: Twisted!
18-Volt is the only new employee of WarioWare, Inc. introduced in WarioWare: Twisted!. On his first day at Diamond Elementary, the teacher asked him what his hobby is, to which he responded by taking out his Boom Box and playing loud Rock 'n 'Roll music.
He got in trouble for this, and after school he headed for his house, depressed. However, 9-Volt stopped him and said that he liked his music. The two of them became fast friends, and 9-Volt invited 18-Volt over to his house. When they got there, 18-Volt was ecstatic to see that 9-Volt had a NES, and the duo spent a lot of time on playing on the system. However, eventually 9-Volt's mother 5-Volt told her son and his new friend to cease.
WarioWare: Touched!
In WarioWare: Touched!, 18-Volt and 9-Volt went to the toy store Toy Express to get a copy of the coveted new GameCube game 36-Volt Man. 9-Volt could snatch one and showed it happily to 18-Volt, who carried his boombox on his shoulder. The two friends quickly returned to 9-Volt's house, curious about their new game. On their way, they passed the alien Orbulon who ran after his flying spaceship.
At the house, 18-Volt and 9-Volt played far into the night and succeed in the game. To celebrate their success, 9-Volt spreaded records again while 18-Volt danced behind him with his Boom Box. But it got so late that the two gamers fell asleep.
In the morning, when they woke up, it was already 9'o clock. 18-Volt and 9-Volt were shocked about that and hurried to school.
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
18-Volt visited 9-Volt again in WarioWare: Smooth Moves. There 9-Volt showed a Game & Watch handheld console to his tall friend and played with it. 18-Volt did firstly mistake it for a Nintendo DS Lite. He wanted to see more of the console and grabbed it. 9-Volt also still held the console and told him that he is still playing, but 18-Volt couldn't wait and so the Game & Watch broke into two pieces. 9-Volt got mad and ordered 18-Volt to leave the house.
Now 18-Volt had a bad conscience and tried to find a new Game & Watch for his friend. He first looked in Toy Express but they didn't have what 18-Volt searched. After leaving the store, he noticed another store where some video game fans lined up. 18-Volt went into the store and the owner of the shop, Satoru Iwata, did coincidentally have the searched Game & Watch on offer. 18-Volt reached for it, but surprisingly 9-Volt did the same. The friends faced each other and they both excused for their mistakes. 9-Volt told 18-Volt that he will always be his P2 (Player 2) and all was okay again.
WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase
In WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, 18-Volt now has his own set of microgames, in which he stars in a game called Jet 18Volt, similar to 9-Volt's microgame set in WarioWare: D.I.Y.. In a bird's eye view of Diamond City, 18-Volt flies in mid-air and shoots an army of Fronks that join together to form the number of the score. His microgames share the same theme as 9-Volt, which is Nintendo
After 9-Volt left WarioWare Inc. to work for Diamond Software, 18-Volt, who continued working for Wario, appeared to view 9-Volt as a rival after his departure, as suggested by 9-volt's role as a boss in 18-Volt's game (as well as their interaction after the boss game is completed) and 18-Volt's greeting to the player where he insists that he works at "twice the power as that other guy you might be thinking of".
Microgames
9-Volt and 18-Volt come with an own set of microgames in all games of the WarioWare series between WarioWare: Twisted! and WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase. For the two previous games, and in WarioWare: D.I.Y., 9-Volt developed his games solo. However, it isn't known how much 18-Volt shares in the creation of the games. For example, in WarioWare: Touched! 9-Volt says "our games", but in WarioWare: Twisted! he just speaks about "my games" in the character select menu, plus 18-Volt isn't even mentioned by name in the menu.
The microgames are based on products of Nintendo, mainly on game software and hardware, but also on toys from the time before Nintendo became popular as a video game company. Microgames based on the Mario series are featured in every WarioWare game.
In WarioWare: Twisted!, the microgame set of 9-Volt and 18-Volt is called Spintendo Classics. All microgames are only based on NES games in this game. While the microgames of most of the other developers involve a particular style of gameplay per developer, the microgames of 9-Volt and 18-Volt require all kinds of spin techniques.
In WarioWare: Touched!, the name of their set of microgames is Retro Action. The choice of Nintendo products is much more versatile than in the prior game again. Also newer products from the 21st century are featured. The microgames include all kinds of ways using the Stylus and also the application of the microphone, while the most other microgame sets involve a particular technique again.
In WarioWare: Smooth Moves, 9-Volt and 18-Volt's set of microgames involves all possible forms. Considerably more microgames are based on more recent Nintendo products.
In WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, 18-Volt goes solo and has created a separate set of Nintendo themed microgames, while his friend 9-Volt goes solo for the first time since WarioWare: Mega Party Game$, in WarioWare: D.I.Y.
