Girl Genius!
  —Penny Crygor, WarioWare: Smooth Moves  

Penny Crygor is a female character in the WarioWare series. She is Dr. Crygor's granddaughter, and inherited his passion for science and technology. As of WarioWare Gold onwards, she is voiced by Fryda Wolff

Penny Crygor was first introduced in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, where it is revealed that she is the granddaughter of Dr. Crygor. Aside from inventing, Penny also seems to have a desire to become a pop star (seen at the ending of her stage in Smooth Moves) and presumably has a wonderful singing voice. She seems to be a nerdy type. According to her character card in Game & Wario, she is a middle-school student at Diamond City Academy, prefers single-ply toilet paper, and enjoys both math and science the most.

WarioWare: Smooth moves[]

In Penny's introduction, we see that she enjoys science, possibly baking (she is shown pushing a delicious cake) and that she's suiting up for something. It turns out that something is an "Invent-Off" between her and her grandfather in a boxing ring. In a small cameo appearance, Mike is cheering from behind the ring.

After the player completes her stage, Penny and Dr. Crygor seem to be neck-and-neck on winning the Invent-Off. Penny finally succeeds with a tiny motorcycle she invented, this somehow knocking her grandfather out. Afterward, Penny sends it to Wario (Or "Mr. Wario," as she calls him), and then proceeds to sing for the Game and Watch crowd. (The motorcycle is seen on the Microgame Mix screen.)

Transformation[]

It's seen in WarioWare: Smooth Moves that Penny transformed her clothes by putting on a different pair of glasses. Perhaps this is the same way Dr. Crygor, her grandfather, transformed his armor into different colors from pink to yellow.

WarioWare: D.I.Y[]

Penny is first seen in the game's introduction scene. She is in the background as her grandfather Dr. Crygor oversees the shipment of his Super MakerMatic 21. During the game, Penny participates in the tutorials as a teacher, with Wario often showing up to learn as well as the player. This results in moments of funny dialogue between the two. Penny teaches you how to use the MakerMatic to produce microgames, records, and comics. Her outfit in DIY is a white lab coat with a purple bow, differing from her pink suit in Smooth Moves.

Game & Wario[]

Penny hosts the multiplayer game "Fruit" in which a thief using a gamepad tries to blend into a crowd to steal fruit. The game has three levels each with a special gimmick. At intervals of thirty seconds, Penny will scan the map and reveal the general location of the thief.

She also appears in a bowling minigame on a pin similar to the other characters.

WarioWare Gold[]

Penny is first seen in the opening cutscene being called by Wario to help him make games for his tournament. During the story mode in her level, it opens with her talking to her grandfather. She then reveals she created a new concoction that will make anybody's voice perfect stating that she intends to use this to help her achieve her dream of being a pop star. When she tests this on him his voice becomes incredibly feminine and he gets extreme stomach pains. She quickly cures this with another concoction of hers which leads into her stage. In this stage completing microgames in time helps cure Dr. Crygor's stomach. Later she assists the party at Club Joe by singing which brings in large crowds.

WarioWare: Get It Together![]

Unlike the previous game in the general series, Penny is not shown working with the others when it comes to making games for Wario. Instead she stays at home to work on creating a massive water gun that she uses to fly in the air. At the end of story mode, Wario and his friends find three treasure pieces that need to be connected together. Dr. Crygor calls Penny for assistance, as everyone is stumped on what to do with the pieces. She enters the game, and you are tasked with completing 15 microgames with her in order to meet up with the others.

After completion, Penny meets up with everyone and uses the treasures to create a watering can. Her water gun comes in handy to fill up the watering can, which is then used to water a nearby toilet. A giant beanstalk grows from the toilet. Penny joins the group as they climb the beanstalk to fight the giant creature, and final "boss" of the game that had captured Red, Master Mantis and Lulu.

After the group defeated the giant creature it is revealed that it was Pyoro, who thought that it was just a game and that they were having fun.

Penny's Song[]

In WarioWare: Get It Together!, during Penny's Mix, you can hear her theme song playing as you play through the microgames. It can also be heard in her gallery section in the Break Room. Instrumental mixes can also be heard during her cutscene.

Singer: She's got her hair tied up in braids, and glasses perched up on her face,

She is small girl, taking on a big world, with inventions she made! ("With missteps on her way..." failure version)

And though her plans may go awry, she's gonna get back up and try!

Gonna be a shining star, she's going far, PENNY! ("Penny?!~...." failure version)

(Instrumental)

Singer: She fills her days with pop songs and experiments, pouring over sheet music and blueprints. (*sadly* "Sheet music and blueprints..." failure version)

Penny longs to become the best, singer scientist, in the whole universe. ("But oh, what a mess." failure version)

Trial and error, fused with ingenuity, Penny's a bundle of joyous positivity.

Tinker, thinker, dreamer to the core. Singer, mechanic, she's all that and more! ("Pick yourself up, when you fall on the floor." failure version)

Singer: Here comes the spotlight, it's what you've been reaching for!

Not every song she sings will be in tune, but even when she aims for the high note, ("Lands on the flat note." failure version)

She will stand up proud and sing outloud for you, 'cause it's true...that's Penny through and through! ("Even good songs can fall through!" failure version)

(Instrumental)

Singer: The workshop is where she goes to fix up contraptions old and new.

This one's her favorite, here you can try it...she made it for you! ("It's missing a screw." failure version)

Whenever something falls apart, it's nothing Penny can't jumpstart!

Everything she fixes is a gift straight from the heart.~ (*Sadly* "The heart..." failure version)

And every plan that goes all wrong, becomes a line in her life song, she will try harder, she will sing louder, now let's all sing along!

All our mistakes from yesterday...become new smiles today! ("May hurt, but it's okay..." failure version)

Singer: *Faster* She got her hair tied up in braids, and glasses perched up on her face, she is small girl taking on a big world, with inventions she made! ("With missteps on her way..." failure version)

And though her plans may go awry, she's gonna get back up and try!

Gonna be a shining star, she's going far Penny! ("PENNY?!~..." failure version)

(Instrumental)
