9-Volt

9-Volt is a character from the action/puzzle game Wario Ware. He is actually described by Nintendo as a Nintendo fanboy, owning everything ever made by Nintendo. 9-Volt's microgames are all microscopic versions of classic Nintendo games such as Mario Paint, Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt. In Wario Ware, Inc. Mega Microgame$, the player must clear 15 micro-games in order to clear his level.
9-Volt is a student at Diamond Elementary, and usually gets around by way of a hoverboard. He lives at home with his never fully seen mother, 5-Volt, and his pet Shag.
In the series' first true sequel, WarioWare Twisted!, 9-Volt gained a friend and partner in 18-Volt, a big kid with a boom box and a shared love for Nintendo.
9-Volt's name comes from the operating voltage of the NES.
18-Volt

18-Volt is from the games WarioWare Twisted! and Warioware Inc. Touched!. He is 9-Volt's best friend, but not brother as some have mistakenly believed. He is a large gigantic player, and when not speaking alongside with 9-Volt, he almost always says "Word". Though he is huge, he goes to Elementary school. His other defining trait is the boom box he always carries. Like 9-Volt, he loves videogames. In the game, alongside with 9-Volt, their theme is "retro action", so all their games are based on old Nintendo games.
While Touched! was the first game released in America, Twisted! came out first in Japan, and showed 18-Volt's true first appearance. The chronological order of the two sequels is opposite that of their release order in the States, and has caused some confusion online.
Boss Battle Microgame$
In the Boss Game in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$, the player must hit balls thrown from a machine using a bat. To do this, one must press the A-button to swing the bat at the correct time. With good timing and precision, the game can be very easy. Sometimes the balls are bowled quickly, sometimes the ball moves slowly towards the character, whilst sometimes there is a black "board" blocking you to see the ball.
This game, along with many other 9-Volt games, are based off of products that only existed in Japan, such as Famicom-only devices.
Boss Battle Touched!
His boss battle in Wario Ware: Touched!, (with 9-Volt) is based on the game Hogan's Alley for the NES, where you shoot cans into little "spots" separated by bricks. After that, you must shoot large barrels multiple times where they then explode and reveal old Nintendo accessories.
Boss Battle Twisted!
The boss in Twisted is different. In Twisted, you have to go through what can best be described as a level from Super Mario Bros. for the NES, except circular. Mario would move automatically in te direction the gyro sensor was tilted, and had to reach the end as quickly as possible. Higher difficulties had you in different locales. Level 1 had you in world 1-1, level 2 had you in world 1-2, and level 3 had you in world 1-4. As with the original game, fireworks would appear if you grab the flag when the last digit of the timer in the upper right-hand corner of the screen is 6, 3, or 1.de:9-Volt
