  • 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 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.

    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/punch a ball back to the other student without dropping it. While at first thought to be a look-alike, he was later established to be the same character in a character trailer for WarioWare Gold[3]. Notably, his hair is lacking the white streaks in this appearance.

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