—Pyoro,about his minigameBird inGame & Wario

Pyoro is a recurring bird character in theWarioWare series. Pyoro stars in a series of successful video games and is the inspiration forWario getting into game development, as the intro toWarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! shows Wario starting upWarioWare, Inc. after seeing a news report on the success of Pyoro's game. His name and design are a parody ofKyorochan, the mascot of the Japanese chocolate brand Choco-Ball.

He is playable in his own minigames in nearly everyWarioWare game, most of which can be unlocked by playing everymicrogame at least once. He has quite a few abilities, including being able to extend his tongue (similar toYoshi), shoot seeds at fast speeds, and stretch his beak. Although Pyoro was originally considered flightless, it is shown inWarioWare: Smooth Moves that he can fly. Pyoro must dispose of various falling beans either by eating them or shooting seeds at them or fend off evil insects that want to destroy Pyoro's flowers, home, etc.

Pyoro's color is primarily red in allWarioWare games, with the exception of Pyoro 2, where he is yellow. He also appears in yellow and green in the "Change Hands" and "Erase Data" options, respectively, in the Options menu inWarioWare: Touched! InWarioWare: Get It Together!, Pyoro can be customized to change into different colors in the Break Room.

There appears to be more than one of Pyoro's species, as a power-up inPyoro S fromWarioWare: Smooth Moves adds smaller "Pyoros" as backup, andPyoro W fromWarioWare: Move It! features a female Pyoro.

History[edit]

WarioWare series[edit]

A bird, which resembles Pyoro, from the microgame Jumpin' Rope

Past Pyoro's debut game of Pyoro, and games that are throwbacks to Pyoro's mechanics, Pyoro's games take advantage of the system they are released for. For example,Pyoro S onWarioWare: Smooth Moves is used with the Wii Remote, andPyoro T onWarioWare: Touched! is used with the touch screen. Besides being a game producer, Pyoro is also in charge of the Prize Machine inWarioWare: Twisted! Pyoro also has his own game for theNintendo DSi'sDSiWare channel,Bird & Beans. On thetown bulletin board inWarioWare: Smooth Moves, he is referred to as "P". InWario Kard, Pyoro is an enemy who only uses paper.

In theWarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! andWarioWare Gold microgameJumpin' Rope, one of the characters who jumps resembles Pyoro.

Pyoro's games are as follows:

Additionally, inWarioWare: D.I.Y. andWarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, the player could downloada microgame based on Bird & Beans.

WarioWare: Get It Together![edit]

Pyoro plays a significant role in aWarioWare game's story for the first time inWarioWare: Get It Together!. He first appears in the opening as the main character of a newly released game titledSuper Pyoro. Later on, as the crew re-enters the game to rescue the missing members (Red,Master Mantis, andLulu), a large, brown monster with many eyes is briefly seen onWarioWare, Inc.'s game's screen. The crew discovers that the rest of the crew were kidnapped and imprisoned in the variety towers by the giant monster. After the crew saves each of them, the monster leaves behind a golden treasure whichPenny assembles to create theGolden Watering Can, which is then used to grow abeanstalk that leads to the skies. During theShowdown, the crew encounters the monster, who attacks the crew with creatures resembling eyeballs. The crew defeats all of the eyes, leading the monster to reveal himself as a giant Pyoro. Eventually, the crew defeats Pyoro and he turns back to normal, with9-Volt recognizing him. Through Red's translation, Pyoro explains to the crew that he was interested in WarioWare, Inc.'s new game and wanted to play with them. When Wario asks Pyoro if there was any treasure, the bird reveals that he had nothing of value to offer to Wario, much to his dismay.

Pyoro joins the gang as the final playable character. He is controlled by walking left and right with. Pressing and holding makes him extend his tongue diagonally, which ricochets off walls and can be used to interact with items and objects. Pyoro's tongue is useful in hitting and launching objects, completing microgames efficiently (e.g.Rock-a-Bye,Spoke Too Soon, two of 9 games considered a good fit). Some games feature targets positioned at a diagonal angle from the player, allowing them to easily reach targets without moving too much (e.g.Web Surfer,Pop-Up Patrol, two more good-fit games), and the ability for Pyoro's tongue to rebound off solid objects allows him to hit multiple targets quickly (e.g.Luigi's Mansion, another good fit). However, Pyoro's ability is the slowest out of any character, and the requirement to adjust his position before reaching a faraway target may cost the player time if they miss (e.g.Don't Waste the Paste,Donkey Kong Country Returns, two of 4 games considered a bad fit). Because he is unable to be controlled up or down, rings are featured in microgames that prioritize vertical movement. Pyoro can use his tongue to grab onto the rings and detach at any time, and has a higher form of control than the other characters that use rings, as he can not only move (compared to 18-Volt always staying still), but he can also have his movement controlled by the player (compared to 9-Volt's skateboard constantly moving without control). Pyoro has 89 microgames that deem him an average fit, and 55 that deem him a below-average fit, and 54 games that deem him an above-average fit.

Pyoro's appearance when defeated by a hazard is from his "death" sprite from his games. In the staff credits, the music that plays during Pyoro's portion is an arrangement of the music heard in Pyoro, Pyoro 2, PYORO R, and Pyoro S. Another variation closely resembling that of the first Pyoro game is also slightly audible whenSuper Pyoro is shown in the game's opening.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Pyoro makes a few cameo appearances in theSuper Smash Bros. series. InSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, Pyoro appears in the background of theGamer stage, where there is a chance of him appearing as part of the stage in his "claymation" form fromGame & Wario walking back and forth, and fighters can use him to hide from5-Volt. InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, aside from returning on the Gamer stage, Pyoro has his own an Advanced-typesupport spirit that takes up one support slot when used, and provides the player with aMr. Saturn at the start of a battle. In the game'sWorld of Light mode, thespirit is located in the northern region ofThe Dark Realm, and spirit's battle has a redYoshi as an opponent on the Battlefield form of theBalloon Fight stage.
