WarioWare: Touched!
Nintendo DS Cameos
9-Volt's Intro Movie
The intro movie for 9-Volt, the Nintendo fanboy, features a number of Nintendo references:
Intro Minigame
The brief minigame during the intro involves dropping a GameCube game "36-Volt Man" into the system. There is also a Game Boy Advance cart on the floor.
9-Volt and 18-Volt then play the game, which plays sound effects from Super Mario Bros.
9-Volt's Collection
When they finish playing, 9-Volt plays his decks while his Nintendo consoles dance in the foreground.
- Game Boy
- Gamecube
- Nintendo DS
- Game Boy Advance
- Famicom
- Game Boy Advance SP
- Super Famicom
- Nintendo 64
There is a poster of Diskun (the mascot for the Famicom Disk System) in the background.
Mario & Luigi
9-Volt's turntables have mini Mario and Luigi figures on them. Lose a microgame and they fall over.
The decks also feature the words "Nine-Volt" written in the style of the Nintendo logo, and the layout resembles an NES Controller.
