Young Cricket and Master Mantis

Revision as of 15:22, 31 October 2023 by Tox (talk | contribs)

Young Cricket (ヤングクリケット?, Yangu Kuriketto) and Master Mantis (マスターマンティス?, Masutā Mantisu) are two major characters from the WarioWare Series. They are martial artists and WarioWare, Inc. employees who like meat dumplings. Master Mantis is an elderly teacher of martial arts, while Young Cricket is his devoted student. When they are first introduced, they appear to be rather serious characters, shown training in difficult conditions, but it is later shown that they "fit in" with the rest of Wario's friends.

Appears in

In Rhythm Heaven

Young Cricket's first appearance in the Rhythm Heaven Series is in Kung Fu Ball in Rhythm Heaven Fever as one of the kappa's students. In the game, he must kick and punch a ball back to the other student without dropping it. Notably, his hair is more of a gray color rather than black with white streaks in this appearance. His Character Trailer for WarioWare Gold[1] features Young Cricket training alongside the female student under Master Mantis, with the kappa and ball from Kung Fu Ball making an appearance. This trailer confirms the character in Rhythm Heaven Fever is indeed Young Cricket himself.

Young Cricket and Master Mantis appear in Rhythm Heaven Megamix in the Challenge Train course Wario...Where?, with their designs from Game & Wario. Master Mantis is featured (initially without his mustache) as the playable character in Munchy Monk, replacing the titular character, where he eats dumplings to grow his mustache. Young Cricket can be seen in the background riding on a cloud, similar to the Monkey from Animal Acrobat in Final Remix.
